[idle storm]

Total day count is kind of meaningless since you only start using magic once you hit Mistlands.

[azure yacht]

Yes

[shy marlin]

It's more of just a reference of how long/fast you take to progress through the game, can divide that by 6 for a general idea of mistlands progression time

[modest epoch]

Oh hell yes

[half dragon]

the total day count does tell a lot about are you rushing around or taking your time

[brave shard]

how would you progress through bosses?

[shy marlin]

Tames can attack bosses

[modest epoch]

Pretty much ^

[brave shard]

ah got it

[azure yacht]

And it's not impossible to tame wolves very early in the game.

Their taming isn't locked behind anything

[modest epoch]

Would be very hard

But possible

[azure yacht]

Actually, not even lox are locked behind anything

But it is certainly difficult in both cases

[idle storm]

the biomes aren't anywhere close to taking equal time though. I basically skipped most of plains in my current playthrough and just went to Mistlands in mountain gear once i got the necessities.

[modest epoch]

I also thought about making it so only I need to be the pacifist my friends can play as they wish, which I think would make it easier for me

[shy marlin]

Bro how pedantic can you be

[azure yacht]

even, even more, asksvin aren't either lol

But at this point is just loving suffering

[idle storm]

A lot lol. Sorry about that, i'll stop.

[azure yacht]

Tbh if you managed to tame asksvin without cheats or mods before even killing half of the bosses you deserve a personal role

[shy marlin]

np man lol

[brave shard]

how are they even tamed?

[azure yacht]

Any plant from ashlands

[idle storm]

ashlands plants

[azure yacht]

And all of them are pickables. Fiddleheads alone are pretty much cloudberries but better

[brave shard]

taming them sounds painful.

[idle storm]

If you have any taste for building you'll have more vineberries than you'll ever need.

because they look very nice.

[nocturne wolf]

They lay eggs so once tamed you can bring them anywhere

[azure yacht]

Which is the most important aspect

You bring even a few of them to early game and you will destroy everything up until plains

I wonder if you can hatch an egg inside queen's citadel...

You can place a camp fire inside dungeons after all

[brave shard]

im definitely going to be taming some tonight

[tight yacht]

is taming animals worth it

[idle storm]

i have a chicken farm in the citadel, so yes

[azure yacht]

How do you manage for them to not stupidly walk into the fire? That would be the only problem

[idle storm]

sitting logs as fencing

[glass parrot]

Oh that’s annoying

[azure yacht]

Oh, didn't know those didn't need work station

That also just confirms that literally anything that doesn't need work station can be built inside dungeons then

[idle storm]

yeah, pretty much. Not that it's a lot but you can do quite a bit with campfires, sitting logs and wisp torches if you don't care much about aesthetics.

[frail stag]

Hello! I'm in search of someone with the means to be able to sail in the ashlands area, I was shuffling some things from an old world over to a new world I have, and curiosity got the better of me and I went through a portal I had placed in an ashlands area before the update and well, everything pretty much broke instantly and I couldn't return through the portal. I lost some precious gear that I don't have the means to recreate yet and would appreciate any help and I would compensate you for your time, cash app, venmo, paypal or whatever. Thank you 🤘

[livid widget]

Will the top of stakewall hurt mobs if they fall on it?

[tight yacht]

who makes their bases from scratch and who integrates existing structures/rocks/terrain?

[vocal rivet]

Our previous world used an abandoned camp, but the current one was all built from scratch so both really.

[pearl drift]

shouldnt the boiling water cook our players if we get into it?

[vocal rivet]

It hurts, yes.

[pearl drift]

oh good!

[tight yacht]

i usually do a meadows base in the ring of tall stones near the ocean, then i try to find an abandoned tower in the black forest on the coast

in the swams i just try to find a small ring of stones around a runestone and convert that into a camp

i dont usually do major permanent habitations in either the swamps or the black forest, just something defensible with a portal and some basic storage/repair/amenaties to serve as a place to fast travel and to load a boat with resources

ive never actually played past swamps in any of my playthroughs so im not sure if its worth making my next largest base in the mountains/plains/mistlands etc

[pearl drift]

mountain bases are cool, just takes a bit to make it safe

[vocal rivet]

You don't really need anything until Plains when you'll need at least something to plant the new crops.

[tight yacht]

yeah i was thinking my next major base build would be plains

[dense rapids]

Our big bases have been from scratch. WHen i make improvised resting spots I sometimes use ruines

[tight yacht]

in the swamps it was annoying to cart back raw ore so my outpost there was just palisade walls with spikes around a bonfire and a dock

and a bunch of smelters

honestly doesnt take much to make a location defensible

[hazy seal]

Tbh what's your often occuring annoyance in valheim you'd personally like to change?

[west pulsar]

Boat

[azure yacht]

The inexistence of more fist weapons

[hazy seal]

I'd want fog weather to be a toggle in world modifiers, it's by far the most annoying weather to get every single time, I don't want "can't see shit today" weather when I need to explore because I lack a special item, this weather fucking sucks if you get it during a snowstorm on mountain biome or in plains where you need to know your surroundings for deathsquitos

Mistlands and fog also goes badly together

Sure it adds to the immersion but holy shit it's by far single most annoying weather to get because you can't do virtually nothing about it

[pliant hatch]

What you're basically saying is that you want this game to have only sunny weather and night.

And that's it.

[hazy seal]

Perhaps they could buff dvergr circlet by making your view distance during fog far better giving incentive to actually use it

[hazy seal]

No, I just don't want "can't see shit today cuz fuck you" weather

The reason it feels bad is you can't do anything about it

[pliant hatch]

Guess you've never been out in a very thick fog with limited view.
And with limited I mean up to 10 meters max.

[hazy seal]

I've been in mistlands I know what ur saying

But fog is still bad especially if you get it in mistlands too

Single worst weather event

[blissful stream]

i think i've killed more mobs in the ashlands just trying to find and mine a single vein of flametal than i did in my entirety of the mountains biome progression

[pliant hatch]

I'm afraid you don't.

You're playing a survival game.

You think the explores of bygone ages or the real Vikings complained and hid behind their mothers skirts the moment it was raining or there was fog out at the sea?

If you don't like it happening in a game, go play something else that suits you better.
Or accept it as something you can't change.
Or use a freaking mod to remove it if you don't like it.

But stop complaining about it, as the devs ain't going to change the current system ever.

[foggy glacier]

anyone got an idea when maypole will be available? I'm guessing about a month.

[pliant hatch]

I think that thing will be up around June 24th.

[blissful stream]

doesn't it show up around midsummer? for the celebration

[hazy seal]

Bro I was saying what is the annoying thing you'd change in this game

And gave my opinion, I have right to complain, this is my discussion

[pliant hatch]

Which is basically the entire weather system this game has.

[vocal rivet]

Midsummer season starts in game June 1st.

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

[blissful stream]

rn? the combat slog of the ashlands. i could do with about half the mob spawns lol. or at least halving the aggro range

[native plover]

what is the charred skull for?

[livid widget]

What does No Skill Drain mean?

[civic stirrup]

I'm assuming the big boss

You don't lose levels when you die

[vocal rivet]

Means that if you die again whilst it's active you won't lose any more skills.

[livid widget]

Didn't realize you lose skills if you die

Is it all of them, or random?

[foggy glacier]

you lose 5% of your existing skill levels in all skills, and all your progression toward your next level.

[tight yacht]

yeah but its more efficient to refine it on site and ship than to ship the raw ore

[near saddle]

how so?

the stack size is the same

[tight yacht]

usually takes more ore to make a single bar

[vernal mauve]

can you mine the fortress walls?

[near saddle]

huh? it's 1:1

building any base structure in the swamps is such a bad idea that even the runestones tell you

[pliant hatch]

Since when?

It needs one ore and two coal to turn any ore into an ingot (bar).

[near saddle]

better to run around furnaces at base where it isn't raining and enemies aren't a danger

[tight yacht]

well nvm

not sure why i was refining it on site then

[pliant hatch]

Only exception is Bronze, which will need two copper and one tin ingot for one bronze ingot.

And you don't smelt it, you use the forge for that.

[tight yacht]

do headshots do more damage?

[dusky carbon]

Heyooo is Ember staff op ?

[fair charm]

I've not really been in norway long term but I spent two weeks there and there was never fog as thick as there is in valheim, I'm pretty sure that the only time that fog as thick as there is in valheim occurred was in england during the industrial revolution and that ended up killing a bunch of people

[foggy glacier]

not usually. Trolls have extra weakness in the head.

[tight yacht]

ah ok, i was shooting trolls

[fair charm]

I wouldn't mind fog in valheim so much (note not talking about the mists in mistlands, those are some kind magic stuff) if it actually had different thicknesses than "Can't see 10m to the front of your longship" or "Perfectly clear"

[native plover]

we have it

[foggy glacier]

Fog can be annoying, for sure.

[near saddle]

I think fog does have varying thickness

[fair charm]

It occasionally clears up a bit but from what I've seen the base thickness is the same

Either way, it also wouldn't be as annoying if it was less damn common, when ashlands came out did a run to the ashlands with my mates, 20 minutes from our main base to the ashlands and we had about 3 minutes clear of fog, the rest of the time, couldn't see anything

[pliant hatch]

The fog in game usually happens around the plains coast.
just like those storms usually happen around the Meadows and the BF.

[dusky carbon]

Is it worth getting Mage stuff ?

[fair charm]

Well depends really, is mage stuff really strong? In my opinion yes.

Is it cooler thematically than hitting people really hard? In my opinion no.

[dusky carbon]

Just trying to get Eitr and know where to spend it

[pliant hatch]

I think it does, although it may take some time to get the skills up as high as your other skills and thus being a real significance.

But some weapons got a nice AoE damage, making it very useful.

[near saddle]

from my understanding, mages deal more damage but take more damage

so you have to deal with your targets before you get dealt with

[fair charm]

Staff of embers is the best misthare hunting weapon in the game in my opinion

So there's that

[near saddle]

never used the staff, but the arbalest also does the trick

[dusky carbon]

Okey thx a lot

And btw is there a mod that gives more fps in game ? Like I run them game on old laptop get like 20 to 30 fps

[near saddle]

lower the graphics settings first

shadows and such make a huge difference

[dusky carbon]

I have tried lowest and stretched res still that XD

Just trying to figure out like in Minecraft there’s optifine or what you call it maybe thought there’s one for valheim

[pliant hatch]

You may consider asking that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[rapid tusk]

stamina, especially in early game. Imo Stamina is good to have in combat, but tools use too much stamina. Realism isn't always fun.
Chopping down your first trees and copper veins and having to wait ages for stamina to recharge is just not a satisfying game experience which I think might throw off some new players.
Same for farming.

[hazy seal]

True, tbh hildir should be easier to find through that

[fair charm]

did you lower render scale? lowering that was the absolutel largest impact on GPU usage that I ever had, followed by SSAO

[hazy seal]

Or make a craftable sets designed for woodcutting or farming

[hazy seal]

How do u lower it

[dusky carbon]

I have a gtx 960m so I think nothing happened when I did it

[fair charm]

Drop it down to 50 and see if that helps

I went from 100% GPU usage to about 60% by dropping it from Native to 95%

[dusky carbon]

But thx for the advice

[fair charm]

#screenshots message
Like this, ignore the resolution it always says 1280*720 when I'm not running fullscreen for some reason

[tight yacht]

jump skill should increase height before you take fall damage

[fair charm]

You should pop that in the suggestions channel so it can get ignored like everything else that goes in there

[tight yacht]

lol

also, there should be a sailing skill and possibly a building/crafting skill

not sure about those last two, but there should definitely be a sailing skill

[hazy seal]

Thanks

[raven axle]

W game

Love to the devs

[wide basin]

looking for any spanish speakers to maje fresh server

[pliant hatch]

Try here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[wide basin]

i did it put me on a cd when i havent posted

[azure yacht]

More skills to lose on death for people to complain about. I'm sure everyone would love that

[shy marlin]

Skills system is broken, bout time for a rework

[azure yacht]

If you mean stats, only tweaking values should be enough

If you mean ways to get more exp, that must be harder to accomplish

[fair charm]

I'd take skills system remaining the same forever if irongate just promised to do a UI pass and add some basic filtering and searching, or at least organise the crafting tables in some logical way

[west pulsar]

True but in that case why not just run it back and forth to your swamp base?

[fair charm]

I really REALLY hate that my ashlands tier food is spread across 4 pages in the stupid cauldron

[shy marlin]

My biggest gripe with the skills system is that the game gets easier the more mechanically skilled you are. If you don't die you don't lose skills and you're skills just keep ramping up and up, while lower mechanically skilled players die more and thus have lower skill. That's my issue with it.

Doesn't make sense to make the game easier for players that are skilled.

[west pulsar]

Yea this is annoying it should be sorted by cauldron level

That would make sense

[azure yacht]

So you're rewarded for not dying too much? Idk how that's a problem...

[west pulsar]

????? What skill curve is bad????

I want whatever edible they ate

Skill curve keeps the game from being a fucking cookie clicker simulator

[fair charm]

My biggest gripe with the skills system is that because the skills are based on "one click = 1 XP" leveling from level 0-1 with top tier gear is slower than leveling from 0-1 with the worst tier gear

[shy marlin]

Idk how to properly phrase it, the game is already easy for players that are mechanically skilled, and they're just rewarded even more for being skilled, and it removes the challenge. Often times on my very hard playthroughs I still don't die and as I go on through progression the game gets easier.

[fair charm]

So if I hit an enemy with my flametal mace and one shot them I get one XP, if I hit an enemy with my club 5 times and kill them I get 5xp

[west pulsar]

Have you considered the game isnt supposed to be hard?

[shy marlin]

Brother the games description is "brutal survival game"

[west pulsar]

Doesnt mean it is

[shy marlin]

I'm aware and that's why i've stepped away from the game for a bit. I rolled through Ashlands blind on very hard

[azure yacht]

I still don't understand...

"you're just being rewarded for being skilled"... so you want the game to punish you for knowing how to play? You want to lose skill levels passively without involving dying to make it more difficult?

I really don't know how "You know how to play so you don't die too much, that means you're rewarded with high level skills" is a bad thing or some sort of issue

[shy marlin]

Nah the thing is for me that as I go on the game gets easier, when it should be getting progressively harder.

That's my issue, my mechanical skill doesn't really change, i've gotten to a point where i really never get hit, yet the game gets easier

[west pulsar]

And brutal to you an experienced gamer isnt the same to a 50 year old

Brutal for who? And its difficult because of damage scale not because of mechanics

[shy marlin]

Ye difficulty is subjective I understand

I guess i should be pointing out the flaws in the combat difficulty sliders more than the skill system.

[fair charm]

I still reckon there should be some form of skill fortification, perhaps a use for trophies?
Sacrifice X trophies of Y type to prevent your skill falling below Z due to death
i.e. 2 boar trophies, can't have selected skill fall below 5 (Have to reach that skill floor before you can make the sacrifice)

[radiant fiber]

cant place the vine seeds, it says it needs cultivated soil

[fair charm]

Yes, use the cultivator to cultivate the soil at the bottom of a wall, then place the seed near (but not precisely on) the wall

[finite lodge]

will the serpent appear in the day time?

[radiant fiber]

they keep dying saying not enough room to grow

[fair charm]

Are you placing them right next to the wall or right next to each other?

[radiant fiber]

how close am I supposed to place it?

[fair charm]

About 1m ish

[vocal rivet]

If there are rocks under the surface that can sometimes cause issues with planting.

[fair charm]

I believe that nodes for respawning items like sticks, stones, mushrooms, etc can also cause issues

[fair charm]

#screenshots message
like this is fine

[radiant fiber]

does it eventually cling to it after time?

[fair charm]

yep

you can also place another wall behind the wall that was too close and then delete your original wall

[radiant fiber]

I see

does it cling to iron fence?

[ornate sigil]

I believe the answer is no. ||I have heard it has changed to spawn only at night and during storms||

[vocal rivet]

Depends on if they mean sea serpents or ||bonemaw serpents||

[radiant fiber]

I've found, funny enough, more luck finding serpants when Im carrying lots of metal ores lol

[vocal rivet]

Confirmation bias.

[fair charm]

I think what you mean is desire filter

[vocal rivet]

Sea serpents can spawn only during storms and at night. Storm spawned serpents won't despawn but night spawned ones will.

[fair charm]

Most of the time spent coding valheim is actually spent on detecting what the player wants and then causing that not to happen

[vocal rivet]

I said what I meant.

[finite lodge]

how the heck am i supposed to harpoon that mofo all the way back to land lol, doesnt that require like infinite stamina

[fair charm]

You only need to harpoon a serpent back to land if you want the scales

[ornate sigil]

Definitely feels that way. The more risky the higher chance. No food items active, hauling a full boat of metal without weapons active, 🐍

[finite lodge]

can you harpoon fish?

[fair charm]

I don't believe so

[vocal rivet]

Again, not a thing.

[ornate sigil]

Unfortunately not. They have a hitbox that only reacts to the fishing rod and bait from what I have seen.

[paper marsh]

No, can't harpoon hit or spear them. Can only pick them up if they strand themselves on the beach (or you can get a fishing rod!)

[ornate sigil]

Or that^

[finite lodge]

how do you harpoon it and not run out of stamina

[fair charm]

You harpoon it and then adjust speed to keep it close, sometimes it'll reaggro on your ship after a brief time of trying to run back

[livid widget]

Can you upgrade wood with stone or do you have to rebuild it?

[fair charm]

What biome are you up to? Because the least annoying results for getting the serpent scales and serpent trophies is damaging it until it's definitely one hit and then jumping on it and hitting it with a crossbow bolt at the same time as I land on it (mistlands strat)

You could also just float around until you find one relatively close to shore, the crappy thing is that you need to have a capturing pond on shore ready for them though because if you pull the serpents onto shore they just wiggle straight back into the ocean

[paper marsh]

Can also have it chase you close to shore, then harpoon it just to get it out of the water

Tbh I've never tried harpooning a serpent to shore, but plenty of times I've just gotten one to aggro me and brought it to shore and kill it there, no harpoon involved.

[vocal rivet]

I've never bothered with the harpoon. Just make sure you let the serpent get a little nibble on your boat every now and then so it doesn't de-aggro.

[fair charm]

The sea serpent can have a little bite of the boat as a treat

[vagrant bobcat]

is the best way to kill bonemaws the same as regular serpents, harpoon them onto land?

[fair charm]

Bonemaws don't have any sinking drops

So you can kill them however is most convenient

[west pulsar]

There you go

Better mental approach

[vagrant bobcat]

lmao, just saw the new boss trophy/power stone... man they just kinda jammed it in there instead of re-spacing everything

[fair charm]

It's spaced fine on new worlds

And you can use the upgrade world mod to fix the positioning on existing world

[finite lodge]

[tame mirage]

How do you pronounce Drakkar? I’ve been saying draw-ker, but i’ve heard others say dray-ker.

[hallow canyon]

I have had an Askvin in a pit for a while. I can't get it to eat. It stays in the corner trying to escape. I tried removing the shield generator thinking maybe that was it, and I tried removing the campfire close to it, and no change. Any tips?

[livid widget]

Drac-car

[vocal rivet]

As its written pretty much.

[burnt glen]

Drak-kar

[livid widget]

I thought they made building better in Hearth and Home? It feels about the same to me. Roof still a pita

[tame mirage]

Wdym better?

I thought hearth and home just added more building pieces

[livid widget]

It's fine for squre. But anything circular it's hard to get the pieces to fit

[tame mirage]

Pressing Q or E changes the snapping options

[west pulsar]

Its Dra-CAR

[livid widget]

Dracula-Automobile

[west pulsar]

Based

[tame mirage]

Car as in 🚗?

[livid widget]

Have they said anything about improving gfx?

[west pulsar]

Yes

In English it would be dra-CAR

In french its a bit different

Drakkar is the french word for a longship

[ornate sigil]

I pronounce it as B-a-b (big a** boat)

[west pulsar]

Are you acoustic

[stiff yew]

Sooo is it awesome?

The new patch

[ornate sigil]

I don't think that is the word you meant. If it is, then yes I make sound waves.

[ornate sigil]

It's like a firey rock. Hard and dangerous.

[stiff yew]

wew

Is Mistland tier complete

[ornate sigil]

The mists are complete, to my understanding. Ashlands might need some tuning, but that's my opinion.

[paper marsh]

Ashlands is a solid 6/10

[stiff yew]

Worth replaying or just continue from my old gamesave

6/10 ouch :U

[west pulsar]

You're out of touch with the younger humor

Yes i know you're not actually autistic

[ornate sigil]

It loads "cleaner" if you have a fresh world but a old world shouldn't be a issue if you haven't tried to explore the ashlands prior to the full release.

[west pulsar]

Is the ashlands as boring as the mistlands

I found the mistlands dull

The fog actually takes away from the biome for me i get its supposed to be scary ish but it just makes it so i can't appreciate what the shit im looking at

And the enemies are...ok?

Hoping the ashlands are better

[ornate sigil]

Depends on what you find fun or not. Ashlands have higher (feeling) spawn rates and larger agro AOE for the enemies. There is plenty to look at with the destroyed buildings and lava pools.

[west pulsar]

Whats the closest biome to it

Not literally but in the way it feels im guessing swamp

[ornate sigil]

For general feel, the swamp might be right.

[west pulsar]

I'd guess so logically

The swamp was fun i know everyone kinda dick rides the black forest but im a mountain kinda guy

[ornate sigil]

Meadows and plains for me.

[shy marlin]

Plains era gotta be the best

[west pulsar]

Plains is my very very close second

[west pulsar]

Not enough going on in the meadows it feels like baby plains i wish it was more mob Dense

Skeletons should have ABSOLUTELY have been a meadows enemy greylings in the meadows feels weird its just the dark forest later in the game but less dark

Its not really standoffish enough for me

[livid widget]

Why no desert biome?

[west pulsar]

EXACTLY

Give me sand scorpions

[ornate sigil]

Might have to do with loosely reflecting the 9 worlds as each biome. To my understanding of Norse mythos, there is no desert like world.

[west pulsar]

Yea i get it but after a certain point you gotta be original

[ornate sigil]

Still, would be nice for variety.

[west pulsar]

No exactly but i think the ashlands KINDA wouldn't be different enough

So i get why but i was sand

Actually no thats like saying the deep north won't be different enough from the mountains

Thats a terrible argument

Actually heres a thought

[ornate sigil]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muspelheim

The "fire lands" of myth. I think the ashlands were greatly influenced by this.

[west pulsar]

A biome thats only underground

[west pulsar]

Again i understand the norse mythology thing i also am a mythology Fan but hypothetically

A desert would be rad but I'm thinking the underground as a massive thing under each biome only accessible after beating the deep north or something like that

[ornate sigil]

If speaking hypothetically, then anything could have happened based on the games lore of Odin tossing all his advisories on the 10th world and severing the connection to the world tree...so underground and desert biomes would be possible.

[west pulsar]

But im thinking of making ghosts and wraths have variety and making all skeleton variants commons there

As well as new undead mobs

[ornate sigil]

Something besides dragr 2.0. Not sure what that would look like, but sounds interesting.

[west pulsar]

Body snatchers also I'm thinking you could idk fight the bosses but undead and stronger

Maybe I'm too off the loo tho

No but now that you say that

[ornate sigil]

That is starting to sound like another game entirely...

[west pulsar]

Oh?

How so

[ornate sigil]

I don't know of any references in Norse myth for body snatchers.

Even loosely

[west pulsar]

Like i said maybe a off idea

Im just spit balling really

[ornate sigil]

Closest would be something like possession from a god.

[stiff yew]

I've gone nowhere near the south

[burnt glen]

Could you explain the possible reference?

[stiff yew]

Wait is Ashlands north or south..

[fair charm]

South

[burnt glen]

South

[stiff yew]

Yeah thought so

[fair charm]

The north is the future biome, creatively named "The deep north"

[stiff yew]

With those weird ice spires jutting up

I wonder why it takes so long for updates..

[ornate sigil]

Glad they didn't use that same naming pattern for the ashlands...or we would all be sailing while playing the banjo, on the way to the "deep south" 😋

[stiff yew]

Shallow South

[fair charm]

Deep North
Shallow South
Big East
Small West

[burnt glen]

I recall one of the devs saying something in the past about changing the name of The Deep North.

[ornate sigil]

That would be nice

[fair charm]

Probably in large part so people don't call it the DN update

But I'm looking forward to it because theoretically once the deep north update comes out frostner will no longer be a top tier melee weapon

[livid widget]

Is Valhalla in the tree?

[burnt glen]

It hasn't been since Mistlands

[fair charm]

It's still currently one of the best melee weapons, it went down a notch from top tier to pretty good in mistlands but with spirit now being super effective and the huge knockback on the secondary attack meaning you can protect yourself from attacks from enemies it's straight back up there

Technically in terms of DPS against charred enemy types the silver sword is the current best weapon in the game

[ornate sigil]

Valhalla is Norse "heaven". Valheim definitely isn't. Did you mean valheim?

[blissful stream]

i freaking hate that essential items surrounded by instadeath hazard has a bug where you are perma stuck in the falling animation and will slide off. you cannot have such punishing mechanics unless the mechanic is locked down and near bugless

[fair charm]

This isn't taking into account the lightning weapons of mistlands 25% chance to proc bonus lightning damage, with that a lightning weapon would potentially come close or be slightly above

[burnt glen]

It does 160 damage, yeah lmao

[fair charm]

The issue with silver sword though is it's complete lack of any CC ability which frostner and mistwalker have due to applied frost damage

Which means it's big damage but low survivability, whereas mistwalker is decent survivability and great damage, and the frostner is great survivability and decent damage

[livid widget]

No, I meant Valhalla

[burnt glen]

Frostner edges out Mistwalker in survivability because of the knockback?

[fair charm]

Yep, if you time it right you can just yeet an enemy with the secondary attack and they can never hit you

And it's a lot more consistent than the mistwalker due to that

[stiff yew]

Sucks there's no combos you can do with the swords, it's just a standard left right slam

[ornate sigil]

Ah, then yes, I believe Valhalla is one of the 9 worlds and is attached to the world tree, though based on game lore, we will never see it.

[stiff yew]

basically as is with everything

[fair charm]

And again this is a spot where ashlands weapons lose out because they're theoretically the highest damage, with the possible exception of the silver sword, but you have no additional survivability except I guess with the ashlands mace but the only CC for that is on the secondary attack, you can't just slow enemies with the standard attack like you can with frostner

[burnt glen]

Couldn't one argue that increased damage of ~32 allows you to kill more enemy thereby also giving you survivability that can rival Frostner?

[fair charm]

Is that for flametal weapons or mistwalker?

[vagrant bobcat]

man, kinda blows we cant use lingering meads and regular restoration meads at the same time.

What has everyone else been running? Lingering Health or Major Healing Mead
and
Lingering Stam, or Medium Stam Mead?

[burnt glen]

Mistwalker

[livid widget]

ok

[stiff yew]

I don't even drink meads.. :f

From memory they suck

[vagrant bobcat]

i find them useful in a pinch

[stiff yew]

I mean for a Boss fight I guess I use the stamina one

[west pulsar]

Frostner
Blunt 35 dmg
Frost 40 dmg
Spirit 20 dmg
Total 95 damage

Mistwalker
Slash 75
Frost 40
Total 115

Its 20 damage more

[stiff yew]

And just keep a few campfires around

[west pulsar]

Not 32 and frostner has spirit and blunt

Its not better but is viable

[fair charm]

Gonna say no due to the fact that the only enemies you can consistently kill without them getting in a devestating hit are the already easy charred and archers, the threats in the ashlands are everything else which you'll need multiple rounds of attacking to kill, which means that the additional safety from being able to do your best attack, that being the secondary, and be completely safe from retribution from the soldiers edges it out

[stiff yew]

It's better in terms of performance

[burnt glen]

I'm looking at level 4 of each.

[fair charm]

Yeah, working from level 4 of each, if you're going into ashlands with a level 1 frostner I salute you

[stiff yew]

No two-hand love? :<

[fair charm]

No they're all bad

[stiff yew]

I love my two-hander. 💙

[fair charm]

I know, I wish they were good

[livid widget]

I love donuts.

[stiff yew]

Krom!

[fair charm]

But the atgeir falls off hard in ashlands, yes it has knockback but with everything resisting pierce and it's damage being mostly pierce it just goes in the bin

[stiff yew]

I love my Krom 💙

I forgot what it was called, it has been ages.

[fair charm]

2h swords have the same problem as 1h swords, and 2h mace, the demolisher is just a meme, -20% movement speed and the damage is kidna bad

[stiff yew]

Isn't the Atgier actually OP though

[clear comet]

two hander is such a meme

[stiff yew]

What's the Demolisher? The Deer Hammer?

[clear comet]

except atgeirs

[fair charm]

Demolisher is the mistlands tier hammer

[clear comet]

atgeirs is the only viable two handers because of the stagger x6 multiplier

[stiff yew]

Oh wait, the umm.. that one-hander hammer thing? Oh yeah that thing's silly. I never saw the appeal.

[west pulsar]

Mistwalker

Difference 35 damage

It isnt frostner vs mistwalker mistwalker is the upgrade to frostner

[burnt glen]

That's a good point, I think I agree. I guess it also depends on which skill is higher and if you really need the knockback as well as the frost. I went in with a Skoll and Hati lmao.

[paper marsh]

Nah just because atgeirs are OP that doesn’t write off other 2 handed weapons

I rather like the 2 hand swords doing jump secondary attacks

[stiff yew]

It's not an upgrade they're two different weapons. :U

[west pulsar]

Mechanically it may as well be

[stiff yew]

:U

[fair charm]

When pure damage is taken into account yes, my argument is that the secondary attack on the frostner has a big knockback which means you can hit an enemy while they're still winding up and then they'll be knocked back and unable to hit you

[west pulsar]

Its a faster stronger frostner

The only difference is in the physical scaling

[clear comet]

atgeirs isn't op

their stamina cost is actually a well trade-off

[manic garnet]

also depends on sword skill level vs mace skill level.

[west pulsar]

They're a solid A tier

[clear comet]

basically yeah, they're "good" but not S tier

[west pulsar]

Which isnt an objective thing but yes

[clear comet]

the only weapon I consider S tier is Frostner (and the shield staff), even Mistwalker is just barely A+

[fair charm]

cancel that out, because theoretically if you have 100 bows skill and 0 in all other combat skills bows are the best in ashlands despite 95% of their damage being resisted

[burnt glen]

So we're looking at more than just the damage. Also the charred monsters take 1.5* from spirit which makes the 20 in frostner into 30 and 15 in Mistwalker to 22.5 so it is about a 32.5 increase as I mentioned earlier, also we're looking at the attacks being able to knock them back further allowing you to survive better.

[clear comet]

To put into perspective

Frostner is a silver tier weapon, that's VIABLE in mistlands, and still USABLE in ashlands

[west pulsar]

Oh for sure frostner is still incredibly viable

[clear comet]

it's 3 biome stretch weapon, it's deffo S tier

[west pulsar]

Only if your definition is longevity but it gets powerscaled

[burnt glen]

One thing that I just absolutely love is that the warriors, being the toughest of the charreds, can not even touch you if you spam the secondary on a mace weapon (assuming it's a 1v1).

[fair charm]

If you secondary attack a charred warrior and it's in range to start it's animation for attacking with frostner, you will take zero damage

If you secondary attack a charred warrior and it's in range to start it's animation for attacking with mistwalker you will take anywhere up to 200 damage through armour

[clear comet]

I mean even powerscaled, it still fare better than some mistland gear in ashlands

[west pulsar]

Absolutely mistlands gear feels like a backwards upgrade more than a forward one

Makes clearing past content extremely easy rather than new ones

[clear comet]

not necessarily, half of it perhaps, but half of it definitely feels powercreep

[fair charm]

Arbalest my beloved ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[west pulsar]

Does this thing get an upgrade?

[clear comet]

himmin, skoll and hati, mistwalker, and shield staff are arguably A-tier, even arbalest can be thrown into the mix

[fair charm]

Yeah the ashlands tier arbalest is no contest an upgrade

[west pulsar]

If so dont specify

[burnt glen]

Skoll and Hati needs some love

[west pulsar]

Daggers feel sad in this game

[clear comet]

funny thing is, I checked the numbers, stamina cost on spine snap vs crossbows make me feel like crossbows is more viable if you have low level bows

[west pulsar]

Idk bows eat my stamina like a god damn succubus its annoying

[clear comet]

I put it in A tier because while it "sucks", once enemy is staggered it boasts the highest dps and perma stagger stun

it's definitely a skill issue weapon

[fair charm]

The stagger limits on enemies in ashlands is a bad joke though

[burnt glen]

It's the most fun to play with

[fair charm]

just me here casually doing 80% of an enemies health in one combo only for them to not get staggered

[clear comet]

The only two thing that I consider OP is the Shield Staff and Frostner, but I think staff of the wilds might be S tier as well

[charred leaf]

first ashland experience was on hard and had frostner and skoll and hati carry me til i got the new weapons. skoll and hati are very efficient in dealing with twitchers and archers. frostner for charred warriors

[clear comet]

Staff of the wilds is busted in that it's super dps efficient

you can run 1 health, 1 eitr, and 1 stamina and rock shield staff + staff of the wilds

and you just won't die

[west pulsar]

The shield is DUMB

I love it

[clear comet]

to put into perspective

[stiff yew]

It sucks unless you got skill levels into it though :f

[west pulsar]

I abuse it so bad but cry about it

[clear comet]

you can have 2 vines + 1 shield with 1 eitr food

2 vines is equal to a 70 damage dps

[west pulsar]

Not really its not at its max but It doesn't suck

[clear comet]

while you can use stamina to like, juke attacks, or parry and cause your vine to damage even bigger

[stiff yew]

Eh I found it did, refreshing it so often was annoying

[clear comet]

Staff of the wilds is either A+ or S tier now

[west pulsar]

Upgrade your staff

[stiff yew]

Oh right

.. tier 4 exists now and probably fixes my issue

[fair charm]

I think they mean refreshing it when you get hit by one enemy and it takes 100% of it's health instantly and pops because it's not affected by armour

[stiff yew]

Yes.

[west pulsar]

For me rn it's a 450+ armor Shield

[stiff yew]

5% penalty never lets me level it above 10 or something lol.

[west pulsar]

Its so free and it stops poison and fire from abusing me

I crank penalties down but i also play scared

Im very thorough

Dying for me is rare because of how i play

[livid widget]

I see a building with flags and things flying around it

[west pulsar]

I'm at 50 something

[burnt glen]

Hell yea! I don't know how you go into Ashlands on hard with a pair of knives but 🫡 S&H carried me through Mistlands, I've been meaning to use it more in Ashlands but got carried away trying the new weapons 😅

[fair charm]

Also if you get the ashlands spear DO NOT throw it, eventually you'll miss and the spear will disappear into the lava never to be seen again

[stiff yew]

wew

Good luck not throwing a spear.

[west pulsar]

My hot take is difficulty isnt more difficult its just more time consuming risk literally a stat change and nothing else i wish difficulty meant more enemies or smarter enemies

[fair charm]

Also it's again kind of pointless because most of it's damage is reduced by 50% because charred resist pierce

[west pulsar]

If you want stats that bad make more stars and make them more common on higher difficulty

Otherwise shit feels spongy

[stiff yew]

Add more random events like corrupt seraphims or something start raining down hard on your base and blow shit up

Wait

[west pulsar]

YES "you are being hunted" this but everywhere

[fair charm]

What the what is a corrupt seraphim?

[stiff yew]

.. the Fulings managed to capture a bunch of trolls and catapult them at your house

[burnt glen]

Kinda agree tbh, I thought this was better in Mistlands. It felt more... difficult than just more hits.

[stiff yew]

new mob I just made up

[ornate sigil]

Seraphim I think are the wrong mythos.

[west pulsar]

YOOOO

Armored trolls think about it

[stiff yew]

Oh yeah

[west pulsar]

A troll variant that has armor and an actual weapon

[stiff yew]

... and they're catapulted at your house :U

[ornate sigil]

Now corrupt valkeries, that's another matter. Like the fallen but less dead.

[west pulsar]

Brutal im thinking "the ground is shaking" but it's 5 armored trolls supported by fulings

[stiff yew]

There should be also like a 'Lost Wizard' that starts casting swamp themed stuff at you and it's fucking dangerous as shit :U

[west pulsar]

Also make the trolls Throw spears not rocks

[west pulsar]

Dvergr attack

[burnt glen]

And have those magically come back to them to show the players something they'll never get in the game.

[stiff yew]

Yeah that but like.. worse.

[west pulsar]

YES THE TEASE

[stiff yew]

Like he can cast this big AoE taking up the red spot and Eels rain from the sky :U

[west pulsar]

Better yet make it so they can be chopped for wood

[fair charm]

Dverger attack, it's just a bunch of the damn dwarves coming at you and standing in front of you while you're trying to attack an enemy until you hit them and then they obliterate you

[stiff yew]

Leeches*

[west pulsar]

Exactly

Now this but a raid

[stiff yew]

I forgot do we have traps

[west pulsar]

Yes

[stiff yew]

The Ballista don't count

[fair charm]

Yes but they're not great

[west pulsar]

Nah they slap

I fucking love the bear traps when used right

[ornate sigil]

They look like bear traps

[stiff yew]

Huh

[west pulsar]

Combine them with the auto ballistics

[burnt glen]

The Mistiles by the support Dverg hurts

[west pulsar]

They can DESTROY a troll in 2 seconds flat

[stiff yew]

Oh yeah we have sharp stakes.

Bear trap I never used I don't think though that's cool

[copper quest]

Has the great hammer weapon type gotten an attack pattern yet? I haven't been on or anything for a minute

[past lily]

i am joe biden and i command the bees to be happy!

[stiff yew]

[stiff yew]

Do you hear the universe screaming

yes, i hear the voices

[shy marlin]

Me when my girlfriend goes away after taking my pills

[past lily]

thats actually crazy

[stiff yew]

It's the best. There's 30 episodes.

[past lily]

i dont rmember doing that.

im about to get as freaky as the trolls do

instead of valheim what if it was freakyheim

[stiff yew]

Bowelheim

[past lily]

so what? making bowel movements?

Bootyheim

[stiff yew]

Through external encouragement.

[past lily]

thats what i need in my life

laxatives dont work

[stiff yew]

Aaah Shabibo in another car crash, never gets old.

[past lily]

I hate when my car crashes

Barnacles

[stiff yew]

Ah you gotta listen to the episode

[past lily]

The link you sent me of the presidents playing that game?

[stiff yew]

Yes

[past lily]

I feel if i was a valheim creature id be a deer

Run around make noises, get in the way of you building then die

[delicate laurel]

Do we know if Flametal Ore Veins return after it sinks?

[indigo mulch]

Which biome do I build my outpost in? I know I need to be in the plains to grow wheat, but is there a reason to make one in the mistlands or the ashlands instead?

[stiff yew]

Ye

For Mistlands Crops

I think everything Plains and above needs to be grown in their own biome.

[dusk comet]

No just till the soil, I grow everything in the meadows

[north pendant]

do we still have the spreadsheet for all food in valheim? I thought we used have one in this dc right?

[chrome orbit]

To my knowledge and in my experience, no, sadly they do not.. However, this encourages exploration, so on the whole it's a good thing.

[jade crest]

any high level players?

need help getting our bodies back in ashlands

[spark bridge]

Are your items inside a wizard's house?

[forest willow]

if you have teleport back you can run away make them aggro you so they get further away from the bodies and die and go back and see if able to loot them if not just continue make them move away

[jade crest]

no

out in the open

[spark bridge]

Aaag

Do you want me to serve as bait?

[jade crest]

no just need help killing things

[spark bridge]

But I don't have strong weapons, so I would serve as bait for you to get your items

[jade crest]

you'll just die. don't worry about it. we need those enemies dead

[buoyant lake]

Is there any way to stop fire spreading?

[forest willow]

if u still need help i can come in and whipe them out fully maxed mage completed ashland

[jade crest]

we got it!

[forest willow]

well done ^^

[rain flare]

Mistlands crops is a yes but Ashlands crops grow anywhere

[warped moss]

Me and my friends landed in Ashland for the first time. Apparently had enough items for a portal... didn't bring enough wood, panicc, got portal down, didn't bring iron, panicc. Died at least 16 times, got skill issued. I want death upon me.

Where do we get Iron in Ashland, cause the struggle getting to Ashland itself is difficult.

[steel copper]

pots in caves will randomly drop Silver, Bronze, Iron. Smash'em all

[warped moss]

Ancient pots issit?

Roger, i'll try it out in a bit. Thanks.

[steel copper]

Yea, turn of the world modifier for fire spreading 😄

[plush umbra]

tame boar, wolves, chicken refuse to create children, theyre fed and sheltered. what am i doing wrong?

[steel copper]

mostly space...give'em more space

[plush umbra]

hm ok

[west pulsar]

Question

I wanna deugly my base is it better to make a new one or to rebuild this one

[steel copper]

deugly? Just make small changes as you unlock stuff I guess

[west pulsar]

Nah you dont understand

It's a big thing with ugly walls built it with terrain early game because trolls kept fucking it up

[steel copper]

sorry I don't understand deugly or what you're asking then 😄

[dapper token]

he means as in make the base less ugly

[steel copper]

ohhhhhh!

[dapper token]

you could show a screenshot in #building-screenshots ig

[steel copper]

de-ugly haha

[dapper token]

i might be able to help

[steel copper]

unuglify lol

[west pulsar]

Uh sure let me log in for a sec

[dapper token]

yea lmao

[west pulsar]

Ima have to figure out a good angle

[steel copper]

yea, send screenshots lets see how bad it is

[west pulsar]

Might have to enable fly for a good angle maybe not would rather not tho

[steel copper]

If you like building and you want a new pretty base and you've progress past swamp or mountains I would def try a new build

[west pulsar]

Im at mistlands

Almost ashlands

[steel copper]

new base then

[west pulsar]

Aighttttttt gonna be a pain but i understand

[dapper token]

in that case i could probably not help much im at plains rn

[west pulsar]

Nah its all good im just getting good angles i had forgot the commands i had to look them up i barely use them unless im wanting a top down view of my base

I cannot post this in chat im dm you this horrid fucking thing

[cerulean moss]

Hi Guys! What is the best metod to uprade ashlands weapons with gems? Best would be to uprgrade base item to max and then uprade with gem?

Or when u change it to gemed version it goes back to lvl1?

[restive linden]

Any idea why the resting status keeps popping in and out when I’m trying to camp in the swamp? I’m under a tiny shelter which is enough to shield me from the rain and I have a bonfire right in front of me. I’m also sitting. But the resting status will come on them go away then come back on then go away. It doesn’t stick long enough for me to get the rested buff.

[lunar sapphire]

Sounds like an enemy or enemies are nearby

[restive linden]

Oh yeah that makes sense. Probably a leech lurking in the water nearby. Thanks.

[fervent trellis]

is the flametal ore 1 to 1 after you use blast furnace?

[void fulcrum]

As far as I know, yes, 1 ore gives you 1 ingot

[fervent trellis]

we had just over 360 flametal before we smelted and in the end only 240

[cerulean moss]

so Maybe anyone knows? ^^

[idle storm]

they reset to level 1 when you upgrade them

[cerulean moss]

ok thx!! 😗

[forest willow]

dayum devs put in taxes now in the game for flame metal 😂

[hazy seal]

if the devs are done with deep north, they should make early game more engaging afterwards tbh

early game biomes are just so low quality compared to mistlands or ashlands

[fervent trellis]

For real

[forest willow]

no wonder why im always poor ingame xd they take 30% of my loots

[wary drift]

hello guys can u hatch a volture egg or not?

[pulsar mortar]

No

[vocal rivet]

They've not even started it.

[fervent trellis]

What is weird we just got another flametal node and smelted 21 pieces and it gave us back 21

So something is weird asf

We are going to glitch dupe the missing flamatel

And it was just the two of us on at the time - and he wouldnt hide any for sure

[forest willow]

then ur friend comes back with maxed flame metal gear and u see where the glitch is xd

[fervent trellis]

no he wouldn't cheat

[ionic iron]

Huh I feel the exact opposite. I love the early game biomes and replaying them many times. Yes the new biomes are cool but the OG ones all just feel right to me.

[forest willow]

well good thing is flamemetal goes really fast to stack up

i have like 200-300 that just sits mostly cause im maining mage, but wanna try go warrior and fight fader again to test wich is easier but have low sword skill like 27

[fervent trellis]

well we have two on our server who don't help us

mine flametal, they hate the ashlands

[void fulcrum]

Honestly, the ambience mix of meadows/black forest is always the best for me. Mistlands too, out of the fog (no mod)

[plush umbra]

will my other base be active while I'm gone? Say, the foundation of my base is removed, will it collapse while I'm gone, or will it wait for me to return in render distance

[forest willow]

yea the twitcher are annoying coming in throw a rock then runs away and come back and repeat xd

[idle storm]

finding cool mist-free spots is half the fun of exploring the Mistlands for me.

[hazy seal]

i know, its just they should do it after they done

[hazy seal]

the thing is, early game biomes are extremely grindy, like you have no space for actual fun stuff cuz all you do is grind as much as possible

[void fulcrum]

Same here! I explored so much before deciding on "building up" a small bay (still doing it). The colors, the light on the jagged rocks and the tones are a visual treat every time

[plush umbra]

its just copper and iron, but you can skip some of that by using troll/root armor

[versed root]

mistlands
hey i've been using an arbalest against gjalls and find it useful but do people find it worth it to just use a maxed mistlands bow against them?

[plush umbra]

bow definitely does the job just fine

[versed root]

that's what i thought. otherwise the arbalest just seems not really that good

[idle storm]

I prefer the arbalest, at least for the opening (sneak) shot. 3-4 hits to the eggs will kill a non-starred gjall with carapace bolts and the low projectile drop means you can attack from much further away.

[ionic iron]

Plus the knockback really helps. It’s way more accurate for hitting the weak spot for me

[idle storm]

Though if you're in close under the gjall already carapace spear beats both bow and arbalest.

[ionic iron]

Hard disagree, but to each their own. I don’t bother doing full bronze and iron armour so it’s not a grind for me. Plus I play with 1.5 resources

[ionic iron]

Yeah but to hell with trying to find the thing afterwards!

[idle storm]

if you're under the gjall it drops straight back down into your hands to be thrown again.

[ionic iron]

Yeah I guess, if I’m that close I just jump on top of them 🙂

[idle storm]

little hard to reach the weak spot from there

though i suppose it doesn't matter if you've already gotten them close to death

[ionic iron]

Yeah it’s just for the lols.

[fervent trellis]

They are easy, the two stars enemies will 1 shot u

no matter armor level

[forest willow]

yea they are easy to kill but they are just so annoying when they are so far away and all of sudden they start chasing you and then you attack them and they start running away when your just trying to farm some fiddles and vine berries

[pliant hatch]

That has nothing to do with the game, that's just you.

There's no need to grind when you split the longer lasting tasks in smaller portions.

[hazy seal]

eh i just want more cool areas to explore, meadows and black forest are very barren in areas to explore

[obsidian vigil]

Hello all! Trying to settle a disagreement with a friend.

Do monsters continue to act after going through a portal?

[hazy seal]

swamp i understan being barren, but even then you could add subbiome to it where theres mostly fungi

[merry pebble]

they cant go through portals...

[obsidian vigil]

After the player goes through a portal

[merry pebble]

you mean if they are still active in area that no players are in?

[obsidian vigil]

If they were already agro could they do something?

[merry pebble]

i believe that everything should basically freeze after you go away from that area

[forest willow]

only if you are near they can destroy ur portals or tables, but not after, had charred warrior destroy stone portal infront of me, but never when i teleported away

[obsidian vigil]

Does anyone have a different opinion? Or can confirm?

[solid crown]

I’ve had my portal remain safe more often than not in those situations.

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Zones#Loaded_zones

[hazy seal]

tbh how do you name your lox if you have them? i always name first one i have harlon

[merry sun]

After you leave the active area they just stop doing anything they was doing, portal run is viable.

but they still move, they wont attack structures but they can move to Far, If its a Morgen or Abomination they will Hide sometimes

[fervent trellis]

In the Ashlands if they were focused on you at the portal say a lava blob it could destroy your portal if it was near your portal as you went through it

[obsidian vigil]

Nah my mate is saying they continue to attack structures that are meters away

[fervent trellis]

nah not that we have seen

but we also don't put portals on the ground

[merry pebble]

that really should not be the case

[obsidian vigil]

Anyone from Comfy Valheim? He says it happens on that server?

[merry pebble]

basically if the enemies are not in active zone they should not attack

[full apex]

anyone know if there is a glitch where trees grow by themselves in the water?

[merry pebble]

that happens on pre ashlands worlds i believe, since the terrain was modified to acommodate the new ashlands

[full apex]

this game is after ashlands

its a new world

[merry pebble]

hmm, i did start a new world after ashlands dropped and i am not far enough to go to their border yet so cant really say if it happened to me too, you can try posting about it in #steam-bugs-discussion or #xbox-bugs-discussion tho 🙂

[serene talon]

wait they changed the bonemass death message?

[rapid marten]

It doesn't happen on comfy, the vanilla game behavior is mobs attack nothing (or spawn) unless a player is in the sector with them. Spawners work the same way, so spawner farming does not work unless a player is idling near it

[dim meteor]

Anybody want to start a long term world together ?

[turbid pollen]

Bruh, the Greydwarf raid killed all my boars

[fair charm]

Man asksvin absolutely love fire, I've had to build an additional wall around my fire source because they will phase through the wall if I have only one layer to take damage from the fire

[azure yacht]

Tames phasing through build pieces is more of a bug than anything

[safe phoenix]

can i use Wisp torch to clear the fog in Black Forest as well? My base if full with fog for many days now. 😦

oh 😦

[rapid tinsel]

use console commands

[safe phoenix]

im not on my server, im just on someones server

[rapid tinsel]

Unfortunate

[safe phoenix]

i think ill have to move my base because of it 😦

[fair charm]

Fog in valheim is like smoke at a campfire

You move to get away from it and it moves to follow

[safe phoenix]

i like it but u know too much is too much

my base is half on Meadows and Half on BF. 😄 In the Med. is nice and clear

[fair charm]

Am I crazy or are there only two thirty minute foods in ashlands

[safe phoenix]

do u think if i raise the ground above the mist will work? or the mist will rise as well above the ground?

[paper marsh]

Mist shouldn't move with the alteration of terrain

[rapid tinsel]

yes

[smoky quarry]

thats one way of conquering the mist

[azure yacht]

Did they remove flametal from the lvl 6 cauldron upgrade recipe?

[paper marsh]

Did they? If so might be worth a biome skip

[azure yacht]

Only needs ashwood, finewood and work bench now apparently

[merry pebble]

i still have the old expensive one on my wall 😄

[azure yacht]

I'm checking scarlet's spreadsheet and is not showing the flametal. But idk if it's a mistake on her part or they actually removed it. But there's also a small description that implies it was

[full apex]

if you destroy a karve, do you get everything back?

[idle storm]

yes, but the nails sink so do it in shallow water

[merry pebble]

yep, but to be safe try to destroy it in shallow water in case you dont pick everything at once

[spice cradle]

nah it definitely still uses 4 flametal unless they updated the game after ashlands hit live branch

[void fulcrum]

I see 8 ashwood, 6 finewood and 4 flametal for the rolling pins and cutting boards

[full apex]

so i made a raft cause i didnt want to make a karve. and boy even right with the wind, a raft is so slow

[hot flint]

Do serves have rules for characters? What if i made a new character and set all his stats to 100 though console commands, would anyone say anything?

[full apex]

you shouldnt be able to do admin commands in another persons server

[vocal vale]

No one would know unless you told them but you’ll upset people on a lot of servers by doing so. Seems more often than not it’s bring a fresh character per server

[hot flint]

Ah ok, thanks

[odd helm]

Wait did I miss a material?

[slender rover]

There are 4.

Meat platter, honey glazed chicken, fish n bread, seeker aspic

[worthy slate]

Carapace buckler or Carapace shield?

[smoky quarry]

yes

[shy marlin]

Buckler

[iron gazelle]

seems my old worlds on single player aren't work anymore, anyone else have the same experience?

[azure yacht]

Then it must be a mistake in her part

[azure yacht]

I see the rolling pins cauldron update doesn't show flametal, I thought they removed it from the recipe

Lvl 6 upgrade for cauldron

[odd helm]

This is what happens when you rush the spreadsheet within a day or so of PTB release then never look at it again

[azure yacht]

Literally unreadable

[odd helm]

It was very recently pointed out to me on reddit that my material cost of sausages was wrong since I first released the spreadsheet, like, 3 years or so ago

[near zephyr]

if you played them a long time ago, you might have to move the worlds to locally saved worlds first.

[shy marlin]

Swarm thing?

[odd helm]

Okay, took advantage of this to finally update the live branch spreadsheet to Ashlands; recipe for 6* cauldron upgrade should be correct now

[oblique mist]

#memes-and-clips last one

[odd helm]

Still taking feedback on if folks like the meads section of the sheet or no

[dusty girder]

What is the Elder Mark on the Map again

[smoky quarry]

boss fight

[dusty girder]

Aint going near that place then

[smoky quarry]

Dark forest boss

i am Root

[flint hatch]

Hello gamers

[dusty girder]

why are there trolls in the Meadows

[livid gazelle]

Hello players, im getting iron very very slowly and i die a lot, but i managed to get some already. what are your priorities when you work with limited iron? I got a long ship and i have around 8 ingots left.

[smoky quarry]

Trolls like the wide open spaces

[vocal rivet]

You're probably right on the border of a Black Forest biome.

[dusty girder]

but iv been maping 1 dark forest for like 30 minutes now i dont wanna be surounded by it xD

[smoky quarry]

boat & crafting upgrade stations 1st. Then weapon followed by armors

[tiny tiger]

Expedition to a swamp and stuff as much iron into the longship as possible, have a harbour with a portal nearby as it is a multiday operation

[dusty girder]

multiday operation as in game time or IRL time? O_o

[smoky quarry]

avoid nights, get rested, set fire in mine, get poison potions

[tiny tiger]

But yeah going for longship as one of the first builds is a good decision

[smoky quarry]

grab a few pickaxes

[tiny tiger]

Eh more like in game multiday

[dusty girder]

i think this Igod is hardcore

[tiny tiger]

When I did it with silver it was a 2-3 hour operation

[dusty girder]

Ayyy dont delete the text :/

[tiny tiger]

Ironically my character is named igod hardcore

[livid gazelle]

why? xD iGod answered and my comment was pointless

[dusty girder]

Ay Igor i want sources pictures and cordinates

[tiny tiger]

You should be able to get a longship full in around 3-5 hours

and that’s enough iron to last you a good while

[dusty girder]

i just started. and i already got Stuff for forges and bronze how long after this is a Longship ?

[smoky quarry]

3-5h i was still buinding my cabin 😄

[tiny tiger]

Longship can be made basically as soon as you have gotten iron

[dusty girder]

well some random gave me full iron armor axe n shield and pickaxe

i dont have iron myself. so im Kinda Loost trying to get the starting phase up and going

[smoky quarry]

[tiny tiger]

You sound like my friend haha I helped him with mountain tier stuff and then he was kinda lost on his own world because his food was still Black Forest tier

Which bosses have you defeated

[dusty girder]

🫢

i defeated the Eikthyr yesterday with a friend

[tiny tiger]

Do you have a base with cauldron forge etc?

[dusty girder]

i got the antlers but since i got the iron pickaxe i dont really need those anymore

i can make them as of right now since iv raided a few caves got like 15 cores

been trying to find the perfect area to make the base on my world until my friend opens her server again

[tiny tiger]

Okay so you wanna make smelters and charcoal kilns and go mining for copper and tin in the Black Forest

[dusty girder]

atm i got 90 of copper n tin

[odd helm]

Should definitely make a forge asap, else you won't be able to repair your iron gear

[tiny tiger]

^

[livid gazelle]

you have acces to a forge? you will need one to repair your iron tools. Maybe you even requiere a level 2 or three forge... if you read your iron pickaxe description you will find this info. for a longship, you need 100 iron nails. that is 10 iron ingots.

[dusty girder]

repair station lvl 2 it says

[livid gazelle]

you have a karve? do you sail the oceans? or not at all

[dusty girder]

i havent even placed down a workbench yet

[tiny tiger]

Oh

Okay well get started on a base don’t worry too much about location for now

Ideally by the coast and with a Black Forest not too far away, situated in the meadows

[dusty girder]

well i was gonna place it down on this Meadows as i just got out of a Darkforest but 10 meters across from here is another dark forest with a few giants

[livid gazelle]

I need to ask something myself. i need the help. What iron tool should i get before any other? axe? pickaxe? hunter's bow? like i said i got the long ship and a stonecutter.

[dusk comet]

Pickaxe

[shy marlin]

in terms of progression, iron pickaxe is mandatory, but the huntsman bow is really good because of 4 meter aggro radius on it (compared to 8 on all bows) and it's the first bow to fire straight and not have variance on it

[turbid pollen]

Has anyone played with multiplied loot before?

[dusk comet]

Multiplied like by copying it, if so then I have

[turbid pollen]

No, like 1.5x more loot, etc.

[dusk comet]

Have many sealbreakers lying around

Oh then no

[dusty girder]

didnt know that was a posibility how did you turn it on

[plush umbra]

yeah its good for like iron and stuff where you dont want to spend 20 hours getting enough of it

and you can turn it off when you get the items you need also

[turbid pollen]

I'm 155.5 hours in and I've never used that setting. I mean, I already had a lot of stuff on my previous playthrough, just imagine the amount of items you're going to get.

Is it Valheim?

[plush umbra]

try the other chat

[turbid pollen]

Yeah, go to #general

[plush umbra]

yeah i think its good for when youre starting out, i personally never had a need for it past iron age

[livid gazelle]

it's ok i want to chat valheim, i was just wondering.

[dusty girder]

I feel like Hes the Soviet union when he deleted all his texts

gotta get rid of the evidence of it ever happening

[vocal rivet]

What?

[livid gazelle]

what? lmao

[shy marlin]

[dusty girder]

oh no thats the germans nvm

[turbid pollen]

Nah, I'm fine with the default. I'm confused about the berry bush having like 5+ berries and only getting one per bush xD

[livid gazelle]

im trying to keep it clean... nothing wrong with it... right?

[plush umbra]

I can understand for red mushrooms, i never really find enough of those

[dusty girder]

sorry aaron my Jokes are as bad as my life xD

[livid gazelle]

lmao i had never tought of it before until you mentioned it hahahaha, true! we get one giant blueberry

[plush umbra]

but its fair, in cooking you also usually only use one berry or very few

[livid gazelle]

i think red mushrooms are more common in the black forest right?

[ionic elk]

I shamelessly have loot x3 enabled and I dunno how I ever built stuff and things without it. It's great for solo players when you need to do a big gathering run, without it being a big run 🤠

[plush umbra]

yeah also great for building large things without mining 80% of time

[ionic elk]

Although I only enabled it after Plains, so I'd already endured much suffering

[livid gazelle]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Dudeeee!! i play as vanilla as i possibly can and i ask myself everytime: is this ok???

[tiny tiger]

Play the game how you want, I’ve been playing with 2x resources, it’s just to make the game less grindy

[vocal rivet]

Of course it's OK. It's what they're there for.

[dusty girder]

how would you turn it on asking for myself and not a friend

[plush umbra]

if youre having fun its ok

[ionic elk]

It's suuuper worth for when you need to replenish supplies or do a build, running around with 3x on can get insane very quickly with how much loot is left after a big encounter

[tiny tiger]

Even with 2x resources it took me 10 years to find a cultist trophy

[vocal rivet]

Time traveller from 2032?

[plush umbra]

havent been able to find a golem trophy in my whole game even with multiplier

[livid gazelle]

I know noone will ever reward me for the time spent in valheim. But i believe the game was designed like this for a reason im not being told. The grind actually serves a purpose... what purpose? i really don't know.

[ionic elk]

It's in World Modifiers, you can change it anytime before loading in

[tiny tiger]

Speaking of stone golems why do they not drop silver if they have silver veins in them ?

[dusty girder]

Thanks great sir you are doing Gods work spreading his Great messages around the world to people seeking enlightenment in these dark times

[plush umbra]

I think it gives you a sense of accomplishment when you finally do get the thing you want

[ionic elk]

Meh, some people enjoy digital chores, I really enjoyed it up till I finished swamps, then the digital chores list got real..

[plush umbra]

still dont understand why plains armor needs iron to work

[tiny tiger]

Iron grind

[plush umbra]

black metal is much more fun to gather imo

[tiny tiger]

Maybe they have plans for the second armor set using black metal

[ionic elk]

There are plenty of items that aren't effected by the moar loot modifier too, so it's not totally nuts with super rare stuff

[tiny tiger]

I’m guessing trophies aren’t affected

[livid gazelle]

can you share an example? please

[bleak flax]

I have found that the ashlands are traversible with mist land gear but it's hard to establish a safe zone. I've been able to set up portals in broken down buildings and jump around cuz I run a very stamina strong build. I've even been able to play King of the Hill with an atgeir and a bow with relative ease. However, getting anything done, like breaking into a fortress is really slow going while solo. I thought that stamina builds we're going to be weaker going into Ashland's but I found out really quick that I am much more comfortable. Might not be hitting anything very hard but I'm not getting hit. I completely changed my load out for Ashland's and instead of going pole arm with lots of stamina I went sword and shield with lots of health and it just was not working for me, I went back to the heavy stamina build and it's been working out great has anyone noticed something similar?

[tiny tiger]

I feel like the second plains armor set would be a black metal berserker set

Which boosts attack speed and doesn’t impact movement speed but isn’t as tanky

[plush umbra]

wait, does too much weight sink your ship?

[ionic elk]

Trophies, stuff from chests etc. it's been a good bit since I've played, but there's definitely some items that won't duplicate

[tiny tiger]

I saw a video on that and if you have a ship full of metal and like 8 carts full of stone on it it’s just about manageable

[livid gazelle]

not that i know, it has an effect. but nothing you have to worry about killing you

[tiny tiger]

I haven’t actually tested it tho

[plush umbra]

ok good

[livid gazelle]

yeah a heavy ship is different to a light ship, but nothing fatal

[full apex]

when you find a swamp, but its so small, it doesnt have any dungeons

[plush umbra]

ive got a full black metal chest with honey, i dont know what to do with all of this stuff

[tiny tiger]

My friend has a swamp with like 40 crypts and boneless and I’m so jealous

[smoky quarry]

you will need it eventually

[livid gazelle]

how did you get that much honey?

[plush umbra]

bees

[tiny tiger]

bro has every queen bee on his map lol

[smoky quarry]

[bleak flax]

Really, I've been playing a long time and I haven't noticed a difference. Is this on the wiki or confirmed by devs anywhere?

[plush umbra]

nah i just a lazy viking

bee automation

[smoky quarry]

a lazy viking should have a brevery

[tiny tiger]

Yeah heavier ships will be lower in the water and travel slower

[smoky quarry]

i like speed

[tiny tiger]

there’s a video on yt of a guy making a guide on transporting mass resources on immersive worlds and no portals

[livid gazelle]

i watched a video, a guy showed a ship loaded with all silver ore (the heaviest item in game) and it had an effect. He also loaded the ship with several carts all full of heavy items.

[smoky quarry]

i carried a boatload of silver and it was just as fast

[hallow imp]

hello everyone i just bought valheim

[plush umbra]

hi

[hallow imp]

im actually enjoying it at the moment

[tiny tiger]

Ayy welcome and hope you enjoy your stay

[hallow imp]

thank you!

[smoky quarry]

happy building

[hallow imp]

Thank ya!

[tiny tiger]

I’ve had the game bought for 3 years and only just started playing since the Ashland PTB and it’s so fun

[smoky quarry]

the only advice i`d give is to keep the bees happy

[merry pebble]

loading the ships inventory doesent affect the speed in any way, the carts are another thing entirely 🙂

[hallow imp]

How many hours you have on it?

[hallow imp]

Yeah I already saw a video of a guy getting attacked by them lol

[tiny tiger]

Around 150 probably just under, it was 130 last I checked

[hallow imp]

wow

[tiny tiger]

I spent an unhealthy amount of time according to my steam hours played thing

80 hours in 2 weeks, that’s a full time job wtf

[hallow imp]

Dayum

[smoky quarry]

damn, got 700h

[hallow imp]

Yeah a streamer told me that this game is addictive lol

[plush umbra]

you can spend a lot of time building also, it never ends, i just end up adding and adding things and the place gets larger and more laggy every week

[smoky quarry]

i need counseling

[hallow imp]

do you have any suggestion on what location I should build my little city

[tiny tiger]

Honestly I’ve found I’ve reached a point where I need to learn to do resource management properly

My mistlands tier character has such a cluttered mess of a base and I kind of don’t feel like playing him no more because of that

[plush umbra]

i think a good starting point is always in the meadows near some water

[ionic elk]

218 hours for me! I keep getting smushed in the Mistlands, Gjalls everywhere 🫠

[high glade]

Does anyone else have the problem of the GPU usage spiking when starting valheim ?

[hallow imp]

oh I'm near the water right now but there isn't a lot of space, should I cut the trees?

[ionic elk]

The start is a magical vibe honestly, savor that, don't rush!

[tiny tiger]

I hope they consider adding a chest tier in between wooden and iron

[ionic elk]

I think if you turn the shadows value down a bit it has a dramatic impact

[plush umbra]

yep or you can just wander around until you find the perfect spot

[tiny tiger]

8 -> 24 -> 32, a 16 item chest would be perfect for pre swamp

[hallow imp]

what are your graphical settings

I'm a low end pc gamer so yeah if someone could suggest me some settings

[vocal rivet]

That's a common issue. For some reason the menu screen is uncapped.

[livid gazelle]

find ''performance'' video setting. stick with that maybe.

[high glade]

its weird yeah

[tiny tiger]

For low spec pcs I recommend low everything and maximising view distance as much as your pc can handle

the game is made to look retro anyway

[plush umbra]

I think the only graphic settings that really matter are SSAO, render distance, depth of field, anti aliasing and a sufficient amount of render scale

[tiny tiger]

What’s SSAO?

[hallow imp]

Alright thank you

[plush umbra]

SSAO is a way to render shadows in game, makes it look really good

[tiny tiger]

Ohhh I was wondering what it was

[high glade]

as soon as the game starts my buddys GPU is at 100% lol, shouldnt be, settings not even that high

[tiny tiger]

I do recommend turning motion blur off

I don’t understand why games continue to have it on by default, it just makes the experience worse imo

[high glade]

you said SSAO off ?

[tiny tiger]

If your pc can handle it have it on

[plush umbra]

you can turn it all off and see if it works

[turbid pollen]

It's Something Something Ambient Occlusion

[high glade]

i dont have a problem

[hallow imp]

a question, how do i break stone?

[tiny tiger]

Pickaze

[high glade]

you gotta defeat the first boss

there are other ways but they are not really intended but you could use them

[livid gazelle]

you can't break stone without a pickaxe you will have to loot the ones on the ground

[hallow imp]

I mean the crow talked about that but I don't really know how to arm myself

[high glade]

you can

[plush umbra]

just look around see what you can do with the things you find

[full apex]

wow lame. two swamps with nothing in them

[silent latch]

does node popping still work?

[high glade]

@livid gazelle there are a few ways to break stone 😛

[plush umbra]

well you dont have to be the one breaking the stone

[high glade]

yeah

[tiny tiger]

Employ some blue collar workers amirite

[plush umbra]

I thing bug colored workers work even better

[tiny tiger]

Damn I never even considered those

I think I’ve realised something

Like every 2 biome tiers feels like when you go into terraria hardmode if you’ve ever played that

[hallow imp]

why does it still say "the crafting station needs a roof" even though i made one?

[tiny tiger]

The workbench needs to be in a building or small shack with roofing

[hallow imp]

wait can I send you a picture in DMs?

[tiny tiger]

Go for it

[hallow imp]

check dms

[plush umbra]

how do you extinguish a fire

[tiny tiger]

Pray for rain

[plush umbra]

oh

[smoky quarry]

use Co2 for electrical fire

[half dragon]

choke it!

[merry pebble]

no, they are correct, YOU as the player cant break it without a pickaxe 🙂 (when you hire some help its entirely different story tho 😉 )

[half dragon]

No, it's you doing it. It's the standard to steal credit for the work of underlings, it's your right as the boss man to claim all the honor and fame

[burnt glen]

What is the purpose of smoke bomb?

[tiny tiger]

stealth

[high glade]

well yeah, but you can break stone without a pickaxe 😛 not yourself thats right

[nocturne wolf]

Does it actually work?

[tiny tiger]

No

I think it’s actual usage is meant to be to make a trail of smoke to the gate so the ballistas don’t attack you and then battering ram the door

[merry pebble]

i believe it is suposed to be fire extinguisher 😉

[nocturne wolf]

I've tried, it didn't work

[smoky quarry]

maybe it gets the mobs ||high||

[burnt glen]

The undead mobs don’t take smoke damage afaik

[burnt glen]

Does the skugg not detect through smoke? Either way its aim is terrible.

[merry pebble]

it doesent? crap, and this whole time i believed they are meant to put down things that catch on fire 😦

[dusty girder]

is there a way to delete all dropped items from ones server?

to reduce "lagg" etc

[paper marsh]

think you can use the "removedrops" devcommand

[frigid gust]

There are some item commands you can use to clean that up, but if items are outside the radius of a workbench or other base structure they will disappear after 3 in-game days, or even better you can build an obliterator and turn all that stuff into coal.

[smoky quarry]

Thor is not that giving tbh

[livid gazelle]

I just double checked, we actually we a bunch of blueberries per bush. check it out yourself

[dusty girder]

how do get the dev command up

[smoky quarry]

think of one berry = 1 kg or w/e

[paper marsh]

you on steam?

[dusty girder]

yes sir

[smoky quarry]

can`t rly make anything with with 1 or even 5 berries but a tarte

[paper marsh]

Gotta close valheim, then right click it in steam and go to properties-->general and then type -console in the little text box

Then you can launch the game and when you get in press f5 and type devcommands

Then from there you can do a bunch of things, like the removedrops thing. Can look it up too if confusing. It's not as complicated as it sounds

[tiny tiger]

I thought it was 1.0 weight is 1.0kg

With berries being 0.1 per 1 or 100 grams worth of berries? Seems to kind of makes sense but starts to break down in certain areas

[trail lava]

can you use a old save(from 2020)? like if the new conent will actually generate on it and stuff

[tiny tiger]

Along as you haven’t explored the deep north Ashland’s or mistlands they will generate properly

[dusty girder]

might be like old minecraft world just generates outside of the "Old generated stuff"

[tiny tiger]

excluding deep north don’t go there yet it’s not out

[civic stirrup]

Even if you have it still will generate fine

[tiny tiger]

Oh

[trail lava]

so theres no downside in doing it then?

[civic stirrup]

yup, you are fine to carry on

[trail lava]

aight thanks

[civic stirrup]

I'm currently playing in my world i've been in for 3 years now, its just got a few funky spots lol

[trail lava]

well we havent played at all since the original early access release, so a lot of updates were skipped

[civic stirrup]

yeah it should be just fine, I'd make a back up just in case though

[dusty girder]

ok iv placed it in modifications to their Launch options

[civic stirrup]

I like to do that just for posterity

[dusty girder]

did not work

[paper marsh]

can always look it up or follow a video to make sure you're following everything right. Make sure you put -console and not just console, and then while in your world press f5 and type devcommands, before getting access to everything

[rigid oar]

how do i open the console

[tight yacht]

f5

[rigid oar]

dosnt work

[tight yacht]

do you have -console defined in your startup parameters

[rigid oar]

i dont think to

[tight yacht]

go to valheim in your steam library, right click it, and go to properties

[rigid oar]

i know i know i did it

should work now right

[tight yacht]

yep

[fossil salmon]

I made the mistake of going through my old Ashlands portal pre-update

I landed in the ocean with nothing around. I couldn't get console commands to work, so I logged into my other server and stored all my gear, then went back to the other server and committed suicide.

[plush umbra]

the ashlands seem pretty challenging but i dont think there are too many enemies, so far its all been managable even when there are more than 5 around

cant wait to get my hands on better equipment though

[steel copper]

Stay over night

[slender rover]

TIL - metal portalling depends on the entry portal, not the exit. If you only need to take metals one way, you just need a stone portal at the origin point.

Which is suuuuuper handy

[tiny tiger]

10 cores outta one crypt

Easily my best crypt yet
