what happens to your stuff if you die in the ocean
has anyone else had worse fps overall since the update?
It all gets deleted and the devs send someone to beat you up
floats
a lot of people complaining about ashlands fps, some complaining about fps everywhere
the ashlands is so overwhelming
at first it is
placing campfires is super helpful to getting established there
its a army fight every 2 minutes
and the spawning stones can spawn anywhere too
had 2 by my base and multiple morgens
i think its great now but yeah its very overwhelming at first
i think thats the whole point tho
if you need advice, there's been advice on how to survive ashlands for the last hour in #valheim-help
Basically AoE, movement speed, and enemy mobs friendy firing each other is key
how do the campfires work in ashlands?
Campfires (and many other things like workbenches, torches, etc.) block mobs from spawning within 20 meters
Campfires don't draw mob agro, so they're perfect for spawnproofing an area
oh I thought it was only benches
Campfires work exactly the same at the same range. They just don't show the white circle around it, and don't draw mob agro
thats pretty cool
500 hours and you think you know things haha im still learning every day
anyone else getting their boat stuck near the ashland's shore
benches are just used most often, because the build radius is the same radius that prevents spawning, theres a bunch of buildings that prevent spawning
so i found a sealed tower, no yagluth alter yet
I like the loot from sealed towers better than yag anyways
There's more than enough to make several portal jumps or sailing trips, for sure.
do you guys usually try to fully upgrade at each biome or do you skip stuff, and if so, what
I build and max upgrade everything. Except bronze armor.
yeah i always go troll instead
ya i skipped bronze as well
on normal you can skip everything if youre confident and want to save the time, on very hard i max everything
Depends at what you mean.
I skip the bronze pickaxe and usually all heavy armor up to plains.
I'm currently doing a run where I used Fenris and Root armor up to Mistland, before switching to the Eitr-weave armor.
As for weapons, bow and maces up to swamp, switching to sword and bow in / after swamp and slowly moving to magic in Mistlands.
also depends on what like ide always max troll regardless but skip long stuff like bronze iron ect
in bronze I try to skip as much as possible. Go for troll armor, a shield, axe, cultivator, and then whatever buildings. In general I tend to favor light armor sets more for being cheap and fast compared to metal ones
For upgrading I usually don't upgrade or only upgrade once on Normal difficulty (some cheap things I'll upgrade all the way, like troll armor). And then when getting to later tough biomes I might upgrade more, also depending on how easy the resource is to get
On higher difficulty I tend to upgrade things to max most the time, or close to max
Depends on the situation. Lightning dps vs root immobilizing
Personally I'd prob do lightning
Storm fang. The lightning proc is much more useful extra burst when it happens (that works against pierce resistant enemies, of which Ashlands has a lot) than hoping for an unreliable root proc imo.
If you need the root proc to survive you won't basically, and if you don't it's useless.
Can you plant trees in the ashlands? I was thinking, hypothetically, if you chop down all the trees, how do you get more ashwood?
Limited ashwood in each world
Dang, that's too bad
idk how much ashwood is in ashlands but i dont think its a asmall amount
Probably not for a solo player but on a server of many players it can be?
dev commands could probably reset terrain or shit like that or spawn in trees to chop down again
you guys wanna hear something crazy
If you use it to build you clear areas of Ashwood pretty fast even as a single player. And it only spawns on the outside of the Ashlands iirc, near the shore. So there's a comparatively limited area to even find it and not all of it actually has ashwood trees.
I actually found yagluths vegvisir before yagluths alter
Oh the trees do respawn?
no, i mean spawning at world generation
I did this for the first time recently, after finding his altar first 3 times.
basically you only get a ring around your ashlands where finding ashwood is even possible
Lucky you!
Usually it's the other way around and quite often even advised.
Ah okay, that's too bad, especially for servers with many players
yeah i know ive always found his alter before his vegvisir
What happens when you try to destroy a rune stone?
impossible
fr
You can't destroy the stones you can interact with
Sadge
Is there any reason to skip to mistlands to grab some marble for a food upgrade before killing Moder, or does everything require an oven?
Mountain food doesn't, but from Plains on, the best foods - except for serpent stew - do require an oven.
I found a way to guarantee which way a tree falls.
Well mistlands has some that don't require a oven for sure. Like salad and seeker aspic
Cut the ones down next to water.
But yea I'm just interested in plains food
Lox pie does need an oven.
You’d need flour too
But the most important item for a windmill can be cut at a stonecutter.
According wiki the ones best for plains are Lox pie, Serpent Stew and Blood Pudding.
Out of those three, the Lox pie needs an oven. The other two don't.
If you don't want to use an oven, I s'pose it's Blood Pudding, Serpent Stew and cooked Serpent Meat for you.
is there some variable to 2h swords damage? sometimes the damage feels very inconsistent, like being closer seems to do more damage
Damage is spread out between all targets hit.
Man rogue dvergrs do friggin damage
zero star just staggering seekers on every shot. Makes it very easy to finish them off with flesh rippers lol
Defensive spikes are useless
Can i talk about ashlands stuff without markin it as a spoiler or would you guys rather i do that?
they are great if you have balistae
I mean there's some damage ranges for all weapons, as shown in the tooltip
nope, not for swords
For greatswords yes
anyone know if ||flametal beams|| build higher than ironwood beams? i'm still in the "all resources towards gear" phase but am curious about the builds
Don't think they do. I think their main appeal is that they're immune to lava
Are all the Ashlands structures unrepairable?
All the ones you didn't build
man rogues get slaughtered by geirhaffa
did they reverse the corpse run mechanic that gave the weight capacity boost?
because I just tried to pick up my corpse and was immediately encumbered
i cannot get the parry timing down on those damned ||charred warriors|| lmao
when they do their little feint delayed attack?
I farted.
dont think so
Bless you
neither lol
starting to slowly, one of the attacks feels a bit cheesy tho, where he does the pierce that looks like an attack but its not and then he does the follow up upwards slash which is the actual attack
like i get changing stuff up to make it harder and give a challenge but thats really stretching the fluidity of realistic combat more than something like delayed attacks
I just parry them like regular if they do regular attacks, and I can't tell when they do their delayed attack so I just parry like regular, and then when I realize they're doing a delayed attack I just let go of block and press it again
Just double clicking block basically, gets the parry for me everytime. Haven't tried missing a parry once, and I certainly don't feel like it's because I'm skilled at anticipating their moves
yeah im starting to get it and being ready to double block helps
well, I just died twice in a row, retrieved my stuff, and was immediately encumbered until I was able to re-equip the belt
it's not just that your corpse was max weight and you accidentally pick up a few items on your way over to it?
Nooooope.
Gonna bugf report this then
Man I’ve never actually mined one of the ancient swords in mistlands before, or the armor for that matter, but I just did and wow what a paltry amount of iron. I got 2 pieces of iron and 13 pieces of copper. Is that typical?
what is the lore reason for why shamans need to get into my farm and destroy my onions
It how they get their poison gas, they grind up the onions between rocks in their torsos then expel the fumes at you, clearly.
next, bring 2 smelted iron (for stonecutter) to those tall bridges and deconstruct them at the bottom for a shower of iron and marble
Do trees grow back?
If you plant the seeds they do
and 6 copper so you can get the iron cage too.
That was gonna be my next move. I just needed 13 iron and though the sword would get me what I needed but I was quite surprised by how little came out.
Marked a couple bridges on my map though none are close to my base sadly
Man, someone should really make a mod that makes Dyrnwyn do something other than fire damage
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Naw firedamage is it's whole identity
It would be cool if someone made a mod that made dwyrnvyn a little better or at least situationally better than the other swords though
I mean I get it, a fire weapon makes sense for an Ashland weapon, but just feels like you can't use it since most enemies in Ashlands have Very High fire resistance, so it feels so underpowered in that biome
It's not even the fire damage that really makes it underpowered. What really makes it underpowered is that it has no special effect like lightning/nature/blood weapons do
well fire is its special, its like the upgrade lightning nidhogg, but fire instead
No
Meh dont think i'll ever build roofs with the new stuff again, shits garbage
save your tree seeds, when you get ||bronze|| and craft a ||Cultivator|| youll be able to manually grow more
Lightning nidhogg gets 10 lightning damage, dvyrnwyn gets 10 fire damage. In that they're equal
But nidhogg also gets a 25% chance of shooting a 75 damage spark of lightning every time they hit something
Im farming up flax for a 4 player group
oh, thats what you meant by special
do you guys think 800 flax is enough for all of us
I feel like lightning is just goofy damage
Think so yea
is lightning the damage type with the least amount of creatures having resistances to it?
it's more so, what isn't resistant to lightning. A lot of enemies resist slash/blunt/pierce, but lightning is great because very little resists it
Also lightning absolutely tears up ||morgen||
And the least amount with weaknesses to it
Mobs not being resistant to it, makes it good.
Like i said goofy damage
Consistent damage
Its just haha funny number called blue
Idk it doesnt feel shocky enough it feels like damage but blue
Fire at least feels like shit burns
Poison has a long tick time
It doesnt vs a mob thats resistant to fire, which plenty of mobs are.
Frost slows things
Yea but I'm talking about the feel of it
It feels like blue physical
Yea lightning doesn't have a special effect of DoT or crowd control like the other elements, it's just straight damage. Straight damage feels damn good tho
The feel of having a tick of 4 on a resistant mob doesnt have a lovely feel to me.
Dont get me wrong, im a mage enjoyer, but the chain lightning procs are amazing, its a shame theres no lightning staff tbh.
Like i get the appeal but also i was letdown but how underwhelming it was
lightning really is just physical, but effective against enemies that resist physical. It's the only element that causes stagger
so what does the riding skill do as it levels?
Ride faster use less stamina
Physical blue damage✅ but fr why not make it so lightning chains to enemies
That would be AWESOME
It does though
That feint attack is driving me up a wall lol
No?
All the new weapons you enhance with lightning, chain.
Yea the new weapons chaining feels good. Important to note tho that it's only the lightning enchantment weapons. Himmin Afl, Dundr, Eikthyr, and Yag don't do any chaining
You want a fast weapon for the chains anyways, the dual axes are crazy
The purpose of the ||Bloodstone appears to be synergism with blood magic. Blood magic lowers your HP, the Bloodstone weps increase dmg w/ missing health.||
Any tips for the Ashlands? It takes me forever to kill enemies and then it becomes nighttime so I have to sleep
ehhhh
||Set up shield generator||
Have you tried it? Would be strong w/ Ripper
Hello
set up portal outposts along the way so you don't have to travel so far every time you go out, and sometimes just run past enemies to explore more (I recommend some askvin or fenris armor)
And for sure use enemies Friendly Fire attacks against each other
Can I ask a question
yeeeup
How do I get the black forge pass level 3
Okay thank you. I’ve been fighting every single enemy
ya i now have a 'death' portal thanks to Ashlands
If you want to go low hp with blood magic to than switch to melee, go for it, but gl running back getting your stuff back 😄
Decent with ripper yea. Thing is just blood does so much better if you eat a lot of health food, which doesn't pair well with eating eitr food.
Blood enchantment is worse damage than lightning if you're only eating 1 hp food. slightly better on 2, a good bit better on 3. But still ends up too risky to really be worth imo, despite how fun it is
Also don't touch anything if you don't have to! Chopping wood or mining seems to cause enemies to spawn near you
^
I thought they fixed that
Does the dmg increase from flat HP lost, or HP % lost?
hp lost
flat hp. Per point
Ic ic ic
time to fight yagluth wish me luck
Good luck
''enjoy''
Each hp point lost increases damage by 0.2%
100 hp = 20% extra damage
So on triple hp you can get up to a little over 60% damage. Which is good, but tbh it's not that huge a buff over lighning enchantment, which btw does not require you to be on the brink of death to use
Wish blood would get buffed to like 0.4% damage per hp missing
Also why do things In The ash lands have Infanit agro range
Blood shouldve just been life leech instead. lower hp = more leech.
Nah
||Got your fire resist mead? ;)||
yep
The enchantments are great.
It's the values that feel wrong.
I think it's a good concept. Real fun for melee play, which we need some fun and powerful melee play because mages are taking over.
But it just needs to be buffed to where it's actually viable/strong
I mean I'm ngl - I don't see how the flat hp % effect would synergize with other things in Valheim. Maybe just a melee build where ppl like to go ham and play risky w/ low hp? If the scaling was from % hp lost, it would synergize very well with blood magic, encouraging Vikings to bubble up with their sheild staff and keep their hp low
Blood doesn't increase your dmg too much as to encourage the supposed risk
Thunder only benefits from attack speed, having a slow-attack weapon feels worthless.
I don't see nature being used on anything else except attack speed (again) or bow/crossbow
I have this weird image in my head of devs watching this discussion and going like "Guys please no, we tried stronger blood enchantment but people like @shy marlin would just kill our new boss in 16 seconds with them. We spent time on making that boss!"
Has anyone tried if you can root multiple enemies with weapons that have wide attack range?
How are we supposed to get iron and copper without boating it in the Ashland’s when starting out there
Its a shame though that mages didnt really get many options to play with, dundr or whatever its called feels dreadful, shattering staff is only ''okay'' for mass AoE.
Root staff is cool thematically, but mobs ignoring the roots makes it good for static mobs only. ( still my fav atm though )
Trollstav very cool, mostly using it to break rocks / buildings though.
Explore putrid holes
Wouldve loved a lightning staff really
You're not. Why not boat it?
After a bit of exploring you'll get means of transporting it easily though
It's your lucky day then, cuz u got one
@chrome orbit did u see my question
Fracturing staff has bad aoe, it's the single target dmg you're after
What, the dundr? that shit sucks
I mean if you want to snipe mobs perfectly, sure 😄
I'm not sure, but I agree, the aggro range seems nuts. Remember that things like your Wisplight and the Mistwalker sword make you even more visible to enemies
Nah it doesn't suck, it's fun to use. Feels pretty balanced to me too, unlike something like ember staff
I don't have those
Its pure single target though, why bother with it when you hardly ever are in a single target fight.
And plus they walk to yo so u can avoid them
Morgen are weak to lightning and are big
Valkyries are big as well and easy to hit.
Then they puppy grab your shit
Because sometimes you are in a single target fight or have a priority target to take out. I agree it's not great for small targets but as Rianu says it's a lot of fun against morg and valk. And is useable on charred or askvins
Plus there's the tree launching fun factor
If you use the Askvin cloak you can actually just run past groups of enemies if you're trying to find Putrid Holes or Charred Fortresses quickly. You actually can outrun pretty much anything
The fact that we're arguing that some magic staves are good for some but bad for others means that they did a good job at balancing them.
Unlike mistlands, which the only complaint about ember staff is that it's too powerful and makes things boring
I can't cuz there so many birds that they push them to me so there always on me
Really? I can usually get away from them. If you can't tho, birds get two-shot by melee atks right?
Personally think the most powerful weapon stays the staff of protection
does the trollstav give blood magic xp?
I thoroughly enjoy playing "king of the hill" on top of a rock and blasting charred, asksvin, morgen, and vultures off with Dundr. Pretty funny
no
I'm getting 16 bird 8 ashive 14 skellys
Kill the birds, get the askvins to kill the skellies and each other with the lunges
16 birds, wtf man XD take a screenshot, I'm not sure I believe you
Most magic staves would take care of birds no problem
I get shered as soon as I stop running
yagluth is dead
maybe lower difficulty if you're struggling and feel its unfair/unenjoyable
Ember staff eats birds
that's giving up and accepting weakness
If you have fun with it it's fair to do. Games are about fun!
That said I'm a masochist who always plays increased difficulty and limit myself from using all the OP weapons and strats
ya ya, half kidding
Is there any way to get the black forge past level 3
I think the difficulty of Valheim is part of what makes it alluring
Yea it goes to lvl 6
How?
Craft mechanical spring
isnt forge lvl 5 max?
5
Wait 6 or 5. There's two new upgrades in Ashlands, one requiring flammetal and one requiring gems from a fortress
and galdr table 4
Mistlands reaches lvl 3
Ashlands takes it to lvl 5
want lvl5 so i can upgrade my staffs
I did I have the cooler and the vice but I haven't gotten anything else
tbh upgrading Ashlands staves is expensive
That should take it to lvl 3
Just gotta get ||flammetal ||and ||gems ||from ashlands
Other two are only found in ashlands
Sadly. I've been putting off all the elemental weapons from the forge to upgrade staves
pure mage is best ^^
I can't when there to Manny things spawning and hitting me.off the mines
Into death
tough
only thing i dont like about mage is how insanely hard it is to level up blood
I set up a camp near a spawner in the black forest and afk'd there on and off the last couple months
like ive been playing mage since mistland and still lvl 10 on blood
Yea I hate the blood levelling too. That and mage being OP are my only gripes with it. A lot of fun though!
Wym op it's trast my level 80 shield got 2 taped
Agreed, I havent really played melee centered playstyle since Mistlands update. Magic is too cool
i have 250 shield with staff of protection ^^
Shield is busted, as long as its up you will never be one shot
doesnt matter what level your blood magic is
2 tapped, and you can easily just reapply it. Plus as mage you get to stay at range, and have knockback and slowdown and distraction weapons so you won't get hit that often either
it's easy to become too reliant on it though
I do highly recommend going for high movespeed like some fenris armor on mage though
As a mage you want to have it on anyway, thats like saying you'll become reliant on parrying as melee
does ||staff of protection|| still only level the person its casted on?
Protection staff is OP but honestly I don't mind too much. Mages do need sonething good to keep them safe.
The strength of their weapons, on the other hand, like to see some nerfs to some of those. Especially fire staff
One thing I want gone is tames to be able you agro to thing there walls I haven't gotten any loxs because the keep getting mad at one little asshole
I assume so yea, sadly
yea mages lack stamina so need good shield when rested buff is gone
Oof, never have rested buff gone
well happend mostly during raiding fortresses ^^
Dig a hole, harpoon them in. make a hut for yourself so enemies cant see you, set a 30min timer and gg
Just bring a portal with you, before starting your fight in the fortress, get rested and you'll never run out
No I have them tamed they wont have babys because there trying to walk thorw the wall
i like to live dangerously xd
Even on immersive no portals I always keep rested buff up
Right, than make the wall higher or put up stake walls / dig a trench a bit away from the wall
I have them high they can sense them still
but aslong u have trollstav and staff of wild u cant die anymore 😛
In fenris armor worth in ashlands?
Only thing ive died to in the ashlands is the lovely flametal spires, throwing one of those boms and it didnt put up a cloud cuz I hit the flametal instead of the lava 
Good thing I have plenty of flametal now so wont do that again
staff of the wild is kinda whatever, I like it thematically but its weak
have you tried maxing it? i took 30% of fader hp in 10 sec with it
OMG so excited I finally found an ice lake!
Thats very very niche though, in a cave when you can block him with the vines. good luck doing that to anything else
it was outside, , just gotta run back to the roots so enemy follows and they die quick
yeah I was pretty excited for staff of the wild but now im not so sure I want to waste the resources
Yeah that works fine on slow mobs, but mobs that are agile like the charred mobs, they'll run past and the vine will not hit them cuz it likes to wait for mobs to stand still.
Also, once it knocks a marksman, it'll be out of its 1.5m range
You'll get to a point where you have plenty of resources, its pretty cheap tbh. I made it cuz it was the weapon I was looking forward to the most
is it worth making poison resistance meads for the swamp?
also bring some for bonemass

I say the swamp is the safest place to base
I'm not joking
Make a tree house and nothing can get to u
until a freakin abomination destroy ur pilars and u fall to ur death
the wraith in question
No actually you're cooking -wrath
Only issue other meadows is still king
anyone test if you get xp for hitting the spawned troll
U ever hear of parry
why would you not just base in meadows tho
Paris?
They can't raid what they can't get too
yeah but why wouldnt you just base in meadows
Because I don't wanna and my bases in meadows are really laggy on Xbox for some reason
only "dangerous" spawns are at night and by the time those enemies spawn youve already defeated their biomes forsaken and can fight them without issue
have you tried turning down the detail?
What’s the crafting requirements for trollstav
Can't do that on Xbox
It's always on
wraiths can still
U can't turn it down
you cant turn down detail on xbox? is it always on lowest or what
No its always max
U act like u can just toll or parry
Is it no skill drain week or something?
i love iron age so much
you should be able to turn it down then?? is it not in the settings or smth?
its so fun with all the exploring and its so chill
collating ore splits the damage right? but does it consume double durrability? Is it worse to hit 2 at once?
im the exact opposite, I hate iron age swamps omg
its so chil
i love silver age tho
ngl, ashlands feels like it was designed to punish players for playing solo
clearly you havent been caught in the swamps at night
i hate bronze age i love meadows/stoneage and i love everyhting swamp and after
i always pop my eik at night and bring extra stamina food just incase
oh i just hide until morning
i just run with eik
its fun dont get me wrong but nighttime swamp is scary
scary?
being run down by 6 draugr
but eventually you seek nighttime swamp for chains lol
Look in valhime help
drauger being faster than any mobs previously fought and the terrible terrain is pretty scary
i love it
you need to adapt quickly
you need to pick your fights and use a combanation of weapons for effectiveness against stuff
me and my friends stepped one foot into a swamp and got team wipped by an abomination, so that adds to it as well
its intense and fun but its kinda scary
abominations are scary but actually really easy once you get the hang of them
agreed
Always be prepared before going into a new biome
yeah
but fighting them when an archer is on you is terrible
really need to drop everything and go after them before you can keep fighting abomination
Bring the abomination to a surtling fire
i have had to climb on top of a guck tree to avoid being murdered by an abo
Just run around in circles and they will burn to death
we are playing blind and had no idea it existed, we played before mistlands
Also look in xbox bug I had no choice but to run thorw
They are not hard to avoid their attacks and they are easy to run away from
Abominations are slow and de-agro easily
i never said they are stopping us from clearing swamp, i just said we got jumped by something we didnt know existed 1 second into the swamp
Archers, just hide behind a tree and force them to come around to shoot you so you can melee them
i love the swamp for the battle axe
swamps are fun dont get me wrong its just sometimes they can be terrifying
your messages are very condescending in tone, not sure if thats intentional, i also said archers annoy me not they are impossible to deal with
What? It's text, don't be absurd. I was helping, there is zero emotion in text
you were reading my messages as someone unable to complete fights, you assumed i was bad, you gave basic advice
that is as close to condescending as you get in text
I didn't assume you were bad, I did assume you needed some advice. Don't bit the hand that helps, just say "thank you but we are good, just complaining" instead of immediately assuming I am demeaning you
toughen up for crying out loud fairy elf
Trees themselves count as a foundation, if you build high enough only a wraith can reach you
And swamp trees are indestructible
swamp tree bases >>>>
this assumes i cannot fight one, after literally all i had said to this point was, I can kill abominations, archers are annoying in that fight tho, you need to focus them down, we got jumped before knowing it existed
there is no mention of any struggle with fights
thats what my iron smelting outpost is
Not at all but you do what you want buddy. Just at tip, you assume peoples intentions and your gonna cause lots of drama and fights
you thinking text cant carry tone is also very wild to me
l2p ur bad
Well this conversation is a mess.
fax my bad
im just waiting till i get silver for my beautiful crystal battle axe
Yea some people get mad when others try to help lol
You did, yeah.
Has anyone solo'd a fortress in the ashlands?
you also failed ur own advice. I mentioned ur tone in passing to let you know so you dont put off other people, you took that as an attack
with cheese it's easy
many many people yes
she doth protesteth too much
Did you make the siege? Or just built stairs?
havent visited yet, heard its difficult yeah
stairs
More than half of people calling me out here it's because they misread everything I said regardless of what I said and make it seem as if I cursed their entire bloodline
I've tried both. Stairs is easier, but siege is more fun (I like the ram)
Think I might do the same, the siege vehicle is cool but seems kinda pointless
Haha cool, I still might do a siege just for fun
Also catapults are not worth it. Barely only if using explosive ammo
Grausten is not working
you'll probably still ||need a ram to get the goodies in the central tower||
Oh yea that's right, are the gems a one time use or can be used again?
Yea, imo if you're gonna siege a castle with catapults you need to load vikings rather than rocks
one time
You can slot them on a weapon, build a staff with them, or there's even a black forge upgrade (which that you can obviously deconstruct and get gem back if you want)
These finite materials are little annoying haha I wanted to make the new arrows but since ashwood is semi limited, seems wasteful. I will have to stick with the carapace arrow
I was more thinking if you slot a weapon, can you take the gem out and try a different one?
eh, only technically limited, not practically
Or is it a permanent upgrade?
It's somewhat inconceivable that ashwood would realistically run out in a single world
Well true haha we can make new worlds and raid them but I run a dedicated server and don't want to run out on there for my friends
It should be a slot, but it's not. It's a permanent weapon upgrade
Ah okay
There's also a chance that your fortress wont even have any gems and just flametal instead
I have read that
is it worse to hit 2 things at once?
Also, does the flametal respawn in the lava pits? Like if I mine one, it sinks, will it eventually respawn somewhere in that lava area?
I think they should be slotted so we can try out different combos before fully committing....gems are a pretty scarce resource; it kinda sucks to have to commit to a weapon + gem combo without being able to try them out
hit two things you do half damage to each yes, but I believe it's just one durability loss
ok nice
I agree, maybe it was an oversight and they will patch that
Nah
I don't believe so.
So flametal is limited as well?
Red Maw raided all the fortresses in a single world and gathered around 20 of each gem.
Decent number for only 20 fortresses
Yeah basically try not to play with more than 3 people otherwise resources might be stretched a bit thin
Ashlands resources could stand to be a bit less limited, but I don't want interchangeable gem slots
bruh I've played a crapload of Ashlands and I've only completed 3 fortresses. Luckily, each fortress had a different type of gem, but at this rate I'll probably never build every weapon + gem combo
I'm pretty sure that's much more than a full server would use
I wish I had help but I've gotten this fair sole so dame
You don't have to.
The game has never encouraged the need to craft everything. You get what you need and want and done
I don't mind some limited resources but it seems most of the ashlands is limited which hurts multiplayer servers
Very little of Ashlands is limited, and is more than enough for a co-op server.
For thunder, you enchant the axes and why would you thunder enchant any other weapon? Thunder axes alone can take care of all melee needs
Admit it, Iron Gate just wants to cuck completionists
I have a nature ripper and never felt the need to nature enchant any other weapon.
And so on...
They can't please everyone 🤷
What on Earth are you on about?
But that is what the other person was saying, we couldn't know that unless we test it. That's why it would be nice to be able to slot gems and remove them
I suppose it doesn't matter, we can start new maps any time and get more materials
That or just increase the resource drop rate in modifiers
That too lol
Thats what my multiplayer server did
For a standard server of around 5-6 you won't need to.
That is what I did on my dedicated server, I have five players and I did x2 drop rate
This is just wrong, but ok
People just like to selectively and collectively forget the modifiers have existed for little less than a year
It's not, but also OK.
I agree with Matteo 🙂
No one wanted to raid the entire ashlands for gems to have nothing to use them on
You don't need to, that's the whole point.
Again, 20 of each gem is a lot more than you need from a single world in default settings.
So we increased drops so we can actually have enough gems and experience them in the biome
There's no biome in the game that you'd need to explore 100% of unless you're getting towards the player cap of 10.
Has anyone noticed if valkyrie only spawn at night or just near the lava areas?
There are 8 physical weapons + their 24 enchanted counterparts.
But there's absolutely no way every single person in a full server will want the exact same weapons
For 5 players who want to individually try out all the weapons on their own, yes, world modifiers are very helpful for that
Even some people might want to go ranged or mage and not craft the thunder axes which are probably the best melee weapons right now
Yes you dont need to but people also like to try everything out a patch has to offer, ya know?
They could exchange weapons between each other in those cases
Or we could increase resource drop rate so we dont have to remember who has whose thunder axe
I am with you on that, my friends on my server we all like to craft everything and try them out
It's not wrong, just dependent. I think 5-6 people could easily get a full ashland gear kit. They just can't get a bunch of different options or all use entirely limited gear like flammetal armor. But everyone getting some askvin hide and a flammetal weapon and some getting armor or staves should be fine
Same goes for flametal and ashwood trees, the abundance of resources with modifiers gives more freedom for creativity rather than scrounging every inch for resources
That might be fine for your playgroup, but it isn't for mine. Different strokes for different folks
Anyone have success hunting the valkyrie? Is it a night spawn like the wraith or any time of day?
just dependent
As literally stated in that same message
yeah charred marksmen being able to walk along the bottom of the water and shoot from underwater is so broken
Both
How could it be both?
They're more common inland, increase your draw distance, and keep your eye on the sky. You can spot them from pretty far away
That it spawns in both day and night
I knew they were inland and mostly near lava what I read
Or how I like to refer to those mfers "when I do NOT want them to spawn"
Then it's any time of day and not a night spawn only lol
Any time of day then
Regardless, they're only useful on the short term, which is when you craft and upgrade a staff and build the galdr upgrade.
Afterwards they're just there
Right, I need the galdr upgrade. I figured they were useless after that
Fallen Valkyries are kind of a nuisance - I don't need any drops from them. However they're pretty effective at clearing out a large group of mobs chasing me. Especially ||their short range AoE spin attack||
That's probably their only usefulness after what I mentioned
Yea, most of the ashlands mobs seem to damage each other haha
We started a new play through the other day with our small group, and entering some crypts we noticed a lot more starred skeles, was there an increase in the rate of starred units in the update?
Not that I am aware of, I haven't seen a patchnote for that. It may have been just luck to encounter that many
Yea, like the first one we go in there was a 2 star right away lol, then the next crypt there was around 4 1 stars, just luck maybe
Is it just me, or is the Embla Robes missing from the set? I can't seem to make them and I haven't seen the recipe for them anywhere no matter how hard I search. Am I the only one?
Yea I think so, they aren't uncommon in crypts but it all depends. If the black forest area is much larger and the elder summons is there, I have noticed there are more mobs in the crypts (or equivelent mines/caves etc.) and the crypts tend to be longer and more complex
Might check you have picked up all the items needed to craft it
Fair enough, I’ll take it as a bit of bad luck, the first one had no loot at all, just one door to some yellow mushrooms and the 2 star lol, that was it
That's why I'm asking
Yea that happens haha I try to run mines, crypts etc in larger biomes
Seems the wikia doesnt have the robes and their materials
Precisely as mentioned in my original question
I have no idea, I am googling it and not finding any reddit posts about it either
it could be RNG, it would also be you were exploring at night and that increases the odds.
Is there a different material component needed that isn't involved in the crafting of the rest of the set? Cause I feel like I'm going nuts trying to figure it out
Have you mined and refined the metal of that biome yet?
That's what you need.
I haven't yet, I've been waiting for other members of my server to join me doing so to get as much as possible from each lavaiathan
We're still working on it, sorry.
I have them, have you looted the askvin leather?
holy smokes died like 11 times in ashlands. lava and almost instant spwn from mobs geez
It won't let me upload an image
That would make sense progression wise but the mechanics of the set kinda conflict use of flametal
Yes I have, already got a set of Ask armor for my local archer
it requires: 20 thread, 20 eitr, 10 askvin leather and 10 flametal
How intriguing
I have devcommands enabled. if you need a materials list, just ask.
Not sure what to tell ya, I have it on my list.
Thanks, I really appreciate it
isn't fine for mine either
been drowning in pool of Asksvin body parts like Scrooge McDuck in gold
Welcome, sorry I wasnt better help lol might need to submit a ticket if you don't see it soon
though, there might be a non-material hurtle (like mining flametal or getting a trophy or something)
is there a way to lower the cd of my boss ability?
Items unlock the moment you get all materials.
Since the trousers and hood were already unlocked, there's no need to tell how much is needed.
The key was the flametal.
Which is why I didn't mention the goods, only gave a hint about what might be missing.
You know, there's things like spoilers and such....
not in vanilla. you could devcommand the cooldown to zero or have mods that treat it like a skill and the more skilled you are in it, the faster the cooldown is.
Not that I am aware of
Dose anyone here play on Xbox
true. was going to take it into a DM if they asked for the materials list. would have been almost the same as looking up the wiki, if it was current.
I was surprised the mage set required Flametal as well. Also the stats are underwhelming for a full tier upgrade.
Nicest surprise so far - in terms of equippable gear - is the ||Asksvin Cloak||
will i find ancient seeds in burial chambers ever?
No I don't think so, however look especially for ||starred Greydwarf Brutes||
No.
If you need those you need to kill the Greydwarf Brutes or destroy the nests.
Doing the former would be a better idea, as you can benefit a lot more from that.
I’m putting it down to just bad luck, it wasn’t night, it’s alright, just thought I’d check if things had changed recently or not
im sure its probably already said, but if i had opted into the testing for ashlands, do i need to do anything to go back to stable branch now that its live?
you can stay opted in or leave (choose "none" on the beta selection). either way apparently works. just know, if you leave PTB, it will take additional time for the game to "unload" all the PTB information on top of loading all the "live" stuff.
thanks
np
'all the PTB information'? No, the two versions are identical so nothing needs unloading.
interesting. that wasn't my experience. it had a loading bar after the ashland update finished and I (after the fact) opted out.
opted out and everything seemed to have loaded fine
Man, devs did us dirty making OG Flametal worthless lmao. Now i have 6 stacks of Ancient Metal
If I go to a hildir marked cave and kill the boss but dont turn in the item do I still get raided by them ?
Joy of earning it for real!
Also the ancient metal looks cool
Don't think so, unless you have turned "player based events" on in world modifiers
Oh i respect it. just wish I could use it at least on a decoration
ive been trying to fgigure out why my upgrades werent unlocking lmao
damn elder is tough
fire arrows 100%
What’s rotten meat used for
Good luck!
Nothing
bukeberries (2.0) for the non-vegan types....if I had to guess
I just want a 5 min to recoop after 10 mob battle b4 respwn is that to much ta ask
out in the open in ashlands, yes. in base with more ballistas than you could shake a stick at? no. could portal back to a less hostile area for rest.
I have another question
It's kind of weird that the Obliterator has a flat back, like it was designed to be put up against a wall, if it's going to damage said wall when its used.
Would almost like to see them swap it and the shield generators models.
Go on my padawan
Is silver sword the best ashlands weapon to start with?
At least against everything except asksvin
ive never been, but i assume it would be silver sword or frostner
mistwalker
I’d say mistwalker, but might have to go look at stats
most ashlands enemies are weak to spirit correct?
Was just doing some rough calcs at all level 4
Mistwalker is 57 slash + 58 frost + 15x1.5 spirit for a total of 155.5
Silver sword is 93 slash + 45x1.5 spirit for a total of 160.5
I’d say mistwalker then for the added frost crowd control
But eh less stamina use is good too
yeah but just taking into account pure DPS
On something like a morgen for example
And the flametal tier sword can go to level 3 and get up to 147 damage so that's the worst of the three
Yea flammetal is trash without gems
even with gems it's
A lightning gem adds roughly I’d say 30 damage
doesn't the lightning gem add 10 damage?
10 damage plus 25% chance of 75 damage, and the 75 damage is a seperate damage source which means it can get the stagger bonus if the initial hit staggers
I started using swords a few days ago (didn't use them much in the past) and gotta say the secondary attack on them and the no cleave penalty feels damn good
I'm stuck on 3
ashlands items
2 upgrades in mistlands, 2 in ashlands. Ashlands upgrades require ||flammetal ||and ||gems||, both of which can be found in ||fortresses||. ||Flammetal ||can also be found from dvergr or some lava ponds
I wish I had help in game
Okay so at present Nidhogg with lightning stone gets 157 base damage
which is still short of spirit swords 160.5
It does have the benefit of the lightning attack every now and then though
It's about on par with a level 4 mistwalker though so I dunno what the point of it is
A lil better than mistwalker imo but yeah it's really more along the lines of a sidegrade
it would depend on the add-ons/upgrades you have for the black forge.
I believe it goes up to 5
so overall I'd say mistwalker is the better sword because of frost
No mist worker doesn't do that much
Yeah up to preference if you want frost or dps. I'd say mistwalker usually wins out a little
Certainly not worth pouring a lot of resources into an ashlands nidhogg.
I rather like ||the blood slayer or lightning axes tho||
what do you mean by this?
the wiki should list all the upgrades for the forge i think @mighty gate
time to do all of hilders shenanigans before i enter the mistlands
I'm not good at reading
When I was using it it didn't help much
I am considering skipping to mistlands and trying to make Krom or Carapace spear while waiting for the rest of the server to catch up so we can go kill Moder
Infested mines in silver gear are gonna be dicey tho
Maybe if I killed bonemass and got his power
could someone tell me the console command to mark the trader locations on the map?
not sure if there is one. I usually use the map website posted here: #valheim-chat message
there def used to be
Is there any chance that Valheim will come to PS5 in the future?
No body play on Xbox its all people asking foe shit or scam bots
and theres the first of hildirs bosses killed
anyway i must sleap now i will return tmmrw
That would be a convo between coffee stain/iron gate and sony. The only way we, the player base, would know is if there was a press release, and there hasn't been as of yet that I am aware of.
mind you, if you could "crack" your PS5 to act like a standard PC, then you might be able to play.
I’d kill brenna but I don’t want to be stuck with skelly raids
@ornate sigil I have played it a lot on my Xbox. But I prefer PS5. I don't like the Xbox Series X controller. It's so noisy. 😊
Just hope they will release it on PS5 after Early Access.
in that case, you might be able to get a emulator and use the PS5 controller while playing on your Xbox....wonky idea but possible.
does anyone know the locate merchant command to mark the possible spots on the map? i cant find it anywhere
you could try using the (find) command
wait you can't pick up items while riding an asksvin?
@moderator how do I report a game braking exploit that I found
You can auto pick stuff but it’s very finicky
what did you find?
@ornate sigil Well, I just wait and see. The developer wants to make money. More platforms, more money. 😊
neither anywhere on the internet nor the ingame help, lists all of the console commands
currently doing doughnuts on some flametal and nothing
your not a mod
Not necessarily
you can't ping mods
Yes but if it's a known issue you don't have to report it 👍
you have to message the modmail bot first
No, but scales is pretty knowledgeable about the game so they might be able to let you know if it is a known bug or if it needs to be reported
i figured out how to duplicate item in the new Ashland's update and it take all of 5 sec to do
find haldor, finds nothing
Maybe the bug reporting thread?
With catapults?
ye
is there a complete list of the console commands anywhere then?
Yep, known issue. They're working on it.
I would recommend the help/bugs section or the website since they have a whole page dedicated to bug reporting
cool thank you
on the wiki, not sure if it has all the latest ones but the older ones for sure
Bug reporting thread in discord
Not sure I'd call item duplication game breaking but it is what it is
true. updating my old post.
there isnt a page that lists console commands on the wiki. when you search it just lists patch notes
True, that exploits kinda different than bugs but it feels like the right place on discord list
yooo is there someone that wanna play on a new server?
It does if you click the show commands button?
or are you referring to something else?
the command doesnt seem to be here
did you click the blue text?
this is annoying me. i know 100% that it is a command that exists.
What does the command do?
it marks the possible locations of the merchant on the map
For context @fair charm : #valheim-chat message
you can paste yr seed in on the map viewer to achieve that
i really don't remember a specific command, there likely is a way to find him, Winter would probably know
i have seen it refrenced online too. but nowhere does it say
do you know what your world seed is? I can DM you a picture of your world and an estimate on where the trader will be using that and the "Valheim World Viewer by @uneven ether: World Seed generator & POI Locator" I posted in reference earlier.
any idea @plush umbra ?
Wait what? Upgrading the ripper takes it from 220 to 223 damage
That's cooked af
it's not listed there because it's not a specific command.
it's the find command, find vendor_BlackForest 10 (i might be misremembering the ID of haldor's POI)
the IDs of POIs are listed on the POI page
how does the new merchant work?
sweet, thanks for catching up so fast
so I was on the right trail with the (find) command. good to know.
iirc same as haldor, just in meadows, 10 possible locations, only the first counts.
range is 3000 to (effectively) 5100 meters from the center
i thiiink the ID is hildir_camp but i'm extra unsure about that one
just got my first 2 stacks of silver
niceee
haldor popped up in find. but he doesnt exist until you find the location where he can be first
so that doesnt work. the newer command you just did though marks all possible locations
if you mean the ID haldor, that's haldor himself, which is just an object, so the find command can't find it unless it's within render distance, only POIs can be found from across the world
that did seem to work though for hildir too
thanks. i would think that would have come up somewhere online
ah yea, the find command isn't picky about IDs, if you for example type in find stone 200 it won't just mark 200 objects called stone, it'll mark 200 objects that have "stone" anywhere in their ID, so find hildir would locate hildir_camp since it contains the word used
but it would also locate all hildir dungeons
weird thing though. the first merhcant command marked his locations for me. the hildar one. just pinged a spot and erased the other ones
whats the purpose of the dundr
the markers are temporary and cleared everytime you use the command
Will deep north have the games final boss?
Good burst|| lightning damage. Can two shot a morgen if you parry then dundr twice in a row||
And will ocean get more trophies than serpentine?
Wait I wonder how effective atgeir stagger into || dundr || is, might be giga strong
There's a pretty good chance of a ocean update. Can't really say for sure though
Doesn't work, not enough time to swap, morgen recovers from stagger very fast. Unlucky
fairly sure they are food items...
Can cook them in cauldron. Probably need to make ashland cauldron upgrade first
How do I git that
Go to ashlands and get the ashlands resources
more specifically you'll need flametal but that's got it's own issues
It's also kind of wild that for parrying the carapace buckler is again better than the ashlands options
Yup
💀
idk why it took me until now to discover that special attacking right after a parry is super good
like i had been doing that before but it felt a lot slower
Yeah if you spam special as soon as you hear the parry sound you can get one off usually
so anyone else got the issue of greydwarfs in a farm attacking the pufferfish you mounted?
can you grow/farm smoke puffs and fiddleheads or do they work like berries?
Smoke puffs and fiddleheads work like berries
i still cant figure out how fishing works
Cast line, catch fish, you gotta reel in the fish, eat 3 stamina foods
hello, is there a way to allow my friend to go into debugmode?
I'm assuming you want them in debugmode on a server or game that you're hosting for some reason?
Man I really hate that Iron takes rain damage like devs just come on
lol ever seen rust? I think it looks better rain damaged
Yeah I like my rusty iron fences
rain/water damage can't go below 50% health so it's basically cosmetic
how dumb was it of me to build a big base on the same server im killing bosses on
i've given up trying to parry these charred warriors lmao. time to tower shield
for real
their feints are bordering on unfair hard
100% agreed
i can parry every other mob with the axes rn lol. can't figure out the warriors
i shouldn't be typing this late
anyone can give me a server for 2/3 minutes? i need to farm 10 wood cause im stuck with ship in ashlands :d need to rebuild but have no wood =d
Lmao
you know you could just make a 2nd world for that?
you could join a new world with your same character
I have a 2nd world for deforesting and mining stone, don't want to ruin the look of my main world with that
but, planning make a wood farm very soon, so might not need it anymore
What is a normal amount of seekers during the queen fight? She spawns 3 at a time and when I kill them, she spawns 3 more within five seconds. I have to kill like 9 every two minutes.
if she spawns that many I'll be tempted to just ignore them
i just had to create an inlet to get back home with my boat lol
I tried, I can't ignore them.
oh well, guess I'll be bringing that staff of embers too just to toast them
I really just grinded to get this dyrnwyn and it’s shite, nice
Please buff it it’s such a cool idea of a weapon the one per world, if it was actually strong asfock then it would be so sick
uhhh
are deers supposed to give bone stack
discoreved bone stack yesterday after killing a deer
uhh no iirc they do not give bone fragments
was it the first time that character has picked up an item since the ashlands update? if so, it could be that picking up the deer meat/trophy/hide made the game check for available recipes, and since that character already had bone fragments discovered, it unlocked the bone stack recipe
(adding, removing or moving any item in your inventory makes the game check for recipes your character should have)
a bonestack...... like in a stack of bone fragments?
yea, the ashlands update added one
did it add ore piles?
want to ask, do we have to open a new seed or in the old saved seed we can also access the latest ashland update.?
unexplored areas can always generate new worldgen content. old worlds should be fine unless you previously explored all ashlands in that world
Was planning to wait until a bit later to go explore ashlands... but that new portal would make things so much easier in Mistland to move out all the riches
Indeed
Just started doing some raiding on my main world myself
Going well so far, but have to be so careful as I’m a mage build 🙈
Hiiii does anyone have a reasonably good seed for Ashlands I wanna start a new game
Like a seed in which swamps aren't in like too many pieces
HELP
small and useless swamps are pretty common type of swamp tho, have to keep looking to find good ones
I want a seed which has atleast one big swamp👉🏼👈🏼
i call them training swamps 😄 not more then one draugr 😄 to accustom yourself to swamps 😄
It was so Soo hell when I last played the game 2 years ago man
Like the memories of swamps are still fresh lmao
O pardon me sir
there is always a big swamp somewhere... i never played a map that had no big swamp at all... just need to find it 😄
Guess I was the unlucky soul lmao
if you need to find one badly, checking your seed in a map would be an option to point you to the right direction
yeah... know that feeling... got so unlucky i had to find 3 moder places because the first two were only reachable through plains 😄
deep north projected for fall of 2025?
That ruined the experience for me the first time too
I think I'll go completely blind this time no more map cheating
I FEEL YOU
Holyyy I remember and this one plain had so many mosquitos
then it would not help you having a seed with a guaranteed big swamp you still need to go sailing to find it
but yea, there shouldn't be a seed with no good swamps
Welppp I guess it is what it is now alsoo I'm so glad that added a option to take your items through portals LIKE SO HAPPYY
Aight thanks I think I'll be fine this timeee I can't wait to explore Ashlands not gonna lieee waited for ittt for Soo long
Fr frrr I'm not spoiling myself either I wanna explore the place myself
Literally
yeah just like Mistlands is still full of bugs...so ashland is pretty lit 😄 he he he
Ahmmm ahmmmm
And the swamp got some dank memes
on the upside... with my 4th infested mine i finally got me 5 cores and can at least build new stuff ... can not wait to get the cape... so tedious falling from mountains needing to wait for ticks to heal up while the bugs try to kill you
Bugs gave me ptsd
oof, feel lucky that I only had to explore 3 to reach 10
BRO I FEEEL YOU SO BADD
those damn ticks are my bane... i hate them so much... no trouble with seekers and soldiers they though but doable but them ticks... brrrrrr
Lmaoo
ooze bombs oneshot ticks, even starred ones. And you don't even have to aim to hit them.
Atgeir turned out to be pretty effective against them, can stab them mid jump
I like the snow biome it was pretty nice
I still have a goodly bit of mist to explore hopefully some more mines in there to help me out... sailed the parameter so i got a picture of how big it is... but damn is it hard to navigate 😄 ... i love it!!!!
in dungeons that is fine but out in the open they are easier to hit with a bow than a bomb 😄 so i usually try to go slow and see them before they gang up on me 😄
after exploring ashlands a bit I'll go back to trying to get total of 40 cores... 20 of them for refining etir, 10 for crafting purposes, 10 for repair station
managed so far with Ilva NOT to die in the Mist 😄
I've already lost count how many times I've died raiding dvergr towers
I also Don't know anything about trader or hildir quest God Soo much to catch upon
remember you also need cores for ||shield gens||
Ilva is a pretty tough gal ... she only died once to a troll on the roof of her house on day 32 😄 way past 365 now 😄
pretty proud of this play through... ah well.. gotta go back to building some black stuff for my base 😄
We got dank swamps
Really cool mountains
Plains that are a bit plain... it's a lot of grass
Mistland full of bugs
and Ashland that is pretty lit
i used to not like the swamp due to it being so gloomy and wet... but now it is heaven compared to Mist where bugs gonna kill you the moment you open your map 😄
God I forgot how Beautiful this game is man holyyy this viewww
I decided to make a new character who’s gonna focus on knives and swords and Jesus Christ the flint knife is OP
I can solo trolls for the most part as long as a one star or two star greydwarf don’t come to mess up the rhythm
Knives are generally better real DPS.
3 hit combo generally kills anything level appropriate, but faster than a sword.
Like it’s not even good against skeletons but it is because you don’t have a movement penalty and can stagger them due to the DPS
Yep, even against big enemies, because you get more hits during the stagger window, DPS is better.
Swords generally only win DPS on spreadsheets. Until Ashlands.
Im guessing I should skip the copper knife and go straight to abyssal razor right
Yep
But once you get better armor, don't be afraid to pull the flint back out when you're in the black forest. More hits, more skill grinding.
I use my flint knife when I'm farming graydwarf eyes.
Usually my running is my highest skill with weapon lagging not far behind
I got a really nice spawn island too I used the Valhell Seed
is "Mysterious Location" the boss basically?
Are you referring to Ashland’s?
Yes
I don’t think it’s the boss, but it’s definitely worth checking out
Idk why but for some reason the guy who make the valheim seed viewer stopped supporting safari iOS and it’s mildly inconvenient
No - it’s a mini boss/side quest
Thanks
It was working fine a few days ago and then suddenly I’m getting a message that says I can’t view the map
Has valheim ended the support for low end PCs??
Put all the visual settings on low and find out
I mean, I can't load into any of my worlds
Did you play with mods
Yeah an fps boost mod
I even tried to enter with vanilla, still won't let me access any of my seeds
Hmm
Are you joining the First time after Ash update?
ello! o/
oh god this queen fight sucks... why on earth put mist everywhere here? this wisplight barely helps
Are you able to place wisp torches in there
- The Queen can open holes to teleport herself
No I have entered it once or twice
Alright I entered FINALLY
It took this shit 15 mins to get me into the world
The queen is the hardest boss in the game. I've still not attempted her solo
already tried Fader?
Curious question, is there a way to make the Valheim map "bigger", as in expand the size of it so it's a lot larger? 🙂 (without mods ^^)
nope
and why would you?
is it not big enough?
as it stands, in ever managed to explore more than a quarter of the map in any playthrough.. the map is sooooo huge anyways 😄
ty ^^
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to 100% explore a world as it is lol
Oh it was more in the case of a community server heh, the map suddenly feels small after a week, so I was thinking a simple expansion of it size wise might work ^^
I've not see a map full explored by anyone so...
How far did you guys progress in a week?
in 1 of the communities I'm in, we managed to get nearly 75% explored after a week
Oh wow
if that was the goal that's seem awesome
I’m guessing a majority of the 25% left is mistlands Ashland’s?
def need mods to make it bigger
fthat was through normal play and progression ^^
iirc we were like 8-10 people only
Oh damn
1 week normal? na
normal play is progressing through biomes not uncovering the map xD
sometimes, just finding the right biome is harder than it seems xD
it was also a while ago tho, before ashes Update 🙂
if you had a group trying to uncover as much as the map as possible, yeah def possible but I don't see how that would be a part of the normal progression 😄
There’s an irony in that because usually the more information is available to consider the harder it is to make a decision
People go spelunkering to find stuff or nice locations ect. exploring is part of it ^^
so more like a means to an end 😛
with a 10 man group you'd probably uncover a pretty large part just finding enough swamps to get everyone their iron gear
I’ve gone through the entire circumference of my spawn islands and am now struggling to pick a base spot
Only? When everyone in my squad is logged i feel like we are an army, imagine 8+
I can’t imagine how fun it is with 10 people
We’re having a blast in mistlands just as a duo
Need to be lucky to have 5+ people active everytime
Well I was just curious if it was possible to expand the map, and I got the answer, thanks ^^
Bro i spent hours in Ashlands, fighting 10 mobs at a time, and still havent found ONE single upgrade for crafting stations to make flametal gear or upgrade mine
all the upgrades need flametal
This is mine after two years solo - #screenshots message
This place is hard af and not rly rewarding so far
Hi, new to the game, is it playable alone or will i need other players?
I have flametal, but havent got a single upgrade recipe yet
Ah, I see a big difference in playstyles there, hehe
It’s a lot of fun alone and with friends
completely playable alone, also a ton of fun with friends 😄
Oh, great! Thank you 😄
the first one only needs ||flametal, ashwood and charred bones|| so you really should've picked it up if you've already mined some flametal. Second one needs ||gems|| so you'll have to raid a fortress, galdr table upgrade needs ||valkyrie feathers and asksvin trophy||
what do you mean?
Flametal ashwood and charred bones i got, and still no blackforge upgrade
weird. You also have black marble, right?
Yes
It’s 100% not there in crafting tab?
In game lore hints that we should be able to have 20 people on at a time
Only got vice upgrade, and the water tub thing
i'm stumped then
Is your black forge level 3?
she's dead... this wasn't even that hard of a boss fight, just annoying and time consuming because she kept running away
didn't take a single hit to health, only to shield
When you find an island, do you go all around it to find its edges?
And do you go to islands to do a quick prospecting of what resources are present there?
Not a full exploration of the island and its dungeons, just a quick look to see what's on it 🙂
GG! Do you have any recommendations I’m gonna be fighting her soon and I’ve heard she’s really difficult
magic makes the fight very much bearable, staff of embers is all you need to deal with everything the boss tossses at you. Feather cape basically a must have, almost... but either way it's really damn useful here. And of course, the shield staff
I did bring it along, but I only used it when low on etir. the boss keeps spawning seekers, which makes melee fight really annoying. with staff of embers you can ignore the adds most of the time just running around tossing fire at her
or blast the adds along with her at the same time
I've found bile bombs useful for dealing with the adds
There are classes in this game? I didnt see that in the trailer
without wasting eitr you can use on the boss
no classes, but what food you eat and what gear you bring along kinda defines what kind of build you have
not really classes
More like you can use everything, people just like to refer to certain playstyles as if they were classes 🙂
and it's not like bile bags are useful for anything else after you've crafted the few gear pieces that need it
but there's skill levels, although you can level up anything, dying sets you back a lot. Not focusing on a few weapon skills only ensures you'll never go past level 50 on any of them
Any tips for a new player to avoid dying alot lol?
preparation
learn to parry
Learn to Parry and dodge.
and pay attention to your surroundings
that's the name of the game here. proper food, weapons, armor and tools, having all that makes the game much more doable
It's a good idea to always carry a torch with ya xd
depends what biome I'm looking for an how many resources it has
I will only full explore an island if it has the biome I want and lots of resources
when I'm spelunkering just to see if there's anything interesting to add to my "prep pile" for advancing, I do those prospectings 🙂 hehe
dodge and parry timing is indentical by the way, learning to do one of them also teaches you how to do the other
Can anybody help? I just started a new playthrough and wondering if i can go to Ashlands immediately after the plains or will i be underpowered. I don't really wanna mess around with Mistlands, it's boring.
would not recommend going to ashland any sooner than fully conquering mistlands
like... all the gear maxed out
Guess i have to power through it then😮💨
herd that it's the hardest biome now, which normally shouldn't be a surprise, but latest biome being hardest isn't exactly a pattern here. For a long while difficulty seemed to peak in the swamp (when using current biome gear)
well, I'll be seeing that soon...
Even in maxed mistlands gear its easy to get overwhelmed by 4 twitchers, 2 archers shooting, and 2 jumping ash beasts jumping at you
Meanwhile in mistlands you encounter max 4 seekers at a tume and they are kinda easy
Ashlands just has sooo many mobs at a time
2 biggest things for Ashlands:
Caution, and patience
Don’t rush into the biome, take your time to slowly establish a foothold and gradually progress inland
And respawns in ashlands are so wild too... I cleared an area, then 4 more monsters come at you
And as mage xou need 1 manapool to kill 1 ash beast
Don’t engadge big groups when you can help it, DON’T go exploring at night, and generally avoid big combat encounters when possible - aka run away 😂
Then i run into even more shit
Also, most overlooked stat for Ashlands:
Skill Level - work on getting 80-90 Levels in whatever gear set floats your boat, and be smart about combat
You can avoid most combats if you are on the outskirts of the biome - it’s just the Askvin that can keep up with you most of the time
I tried leveling blood magic and its just so slow man. I got like 30+ skills and it takes hours to get a level
And again, don’t push inland if you haven’t made a safe path of retreat previously
Clearing spawners, not being out at night, campfiring a walkway, etc
Campfiring?
Only way to get goo skill increase is skeletons
Ye ik
Base items like campfires, crafting tables, etc prevent enemies from spawning
And when shield breaks on skeles or you
At least, in a small area around the item
Campfires block spawns and arent targeted by mobs
Ok ill do that i guess
I just finished doing some spawn prevention around my landing area so I don’t have to fight 10 charred 3 Askvin’s and 3 vultures everytime I go exploring 😂
Not to mention the bloody morgen that keeps respawning in the area…..
But when i get home ill double check my recipes and will check for upgrades, cuz having only mistlands gear is kinda infuriating after this many hours
Does it matter if campfire is burning?
No
When it's possible.
don't know why it haven't been updated yet. but I will get on it
Only needs to be there
good day to all valheim enthusiasts 🙂
Though a burning fire also increases stam and eitr regen so its not a bad idea to keep them lit and fight near them
Prioritise having 2 high health food and 1 stamina food while you learn enemy attacks
Im playing with 2 of my friends. They arent the best gamers too. They are fighters and im a mage and its hard as f
Its only when sheltered too no?
Always assumed you guys would update it when you finished the game
It’s a sheltered buff - not purely campfires
No, shelter is only necessary for resting. Which increases regen even more but base fire is decent enough and less effort
I noticed shelter + fire will inceease it a ton. I used it in mining stone
A ok
Will bring more stone and wood next time
100% for fire and 300% for resting iirc
Thank you
This is false actually you can get rested with just a campfire by sitting next to it
Ye but u have to sit
My friends always eat 2 hp and 1 stam food.
Should they go 3 hp?
If they’re going for tank build why not
Are you the damage dealer? If he’s using tower shield he’ll be almost unstoppable
Both have mistwalker + shield
A little difficult to sit while fighting
We were talking about fire buff without shelter
You can prebuilt a shelter and draw enemies to it
What’s the radius on the fire buff
But as i said its usually not worth the effort, useful for base defence though
Wow.
That is shocking.
Thought it only applied to sheltered
You can check in the Hugin tab next to skill levels what all the buffs do
8m for campfires i think?
Is it greater for bonfires?
Bonfires have a larger radius
anyone know if there are conditions that have to be met at night for a 2 star asksvin to spawn i have done 17 full nights with nothing but normal and 1 star asksvin
No, the chance is just that low
Are mob spawns pre set? Like I’ll notice the same deer will spawn in the same spots
Would night spawns also be pre set with a certain area having guaranteed 2 star spawns
No. Any night spawn has a 10% chance to be 1 star and a 1% chance to be 2 stars generally.
Like I’ve noticed the little stone henge tombs in meadows will have a skeleton spawn at night
Should be the same for asksvin
I think I’m gonna test it but I’m willing to contest that there’s random spawns and then guaranteed spawns too built into the game
*of enemies that can spawn starred that is
unless it’s been confirmed in the code
The wiki has a page detailing how spawns work
completely out of iron... guess have to go get some
Good news! the bridge I made a month ago is high enough to let the big chonky ship through. Bad news... I need to dig deeper so it doesn't scrape the bottom
progress.. i got that cape... guess it is back to getting more tissue and sap 😄 but it should be easier now... 😄
Do not say that, i killed two 2 stars asksvin that could be tamed 😭
You can tame those?
