[mystic sluice]

Does anyone wants to play right now?

[fallen zephyr]

I ams playing right now! 😄

[mystic sluice]

Good for you. Do you want play together?

[fallen zephyr]

I'm running a dedicated server with my wife, but if you want a hand with something I'll field offers ;P

[fossil salmon]

they should let us craft some wood sealant protection

[mystic sluice]

Thanks but I just want to play. It is boring to play by myself. Have a good game

[fallen zephyr]

WE HAVE A 'SWIPE RIGHT' SITUATION!

[wet hearth]

I just discovered hildir and I'm wondering about the difficulty of the quests, when should I do them?

[crisp ruin]

post plains

[mystic sluice]

Sure. Give me 15 minutes and I will write in dm

[tiny tiger]

Are they all post plains?

I thought the one in mountains would be mountains tier and Black Forest be that tier

[vocal rivet]

There's one for Black Forest, Mountains and Plains.

[buoyant lake]

If you want to be super safe you can do them after mistlands lol but in my opinion that ruins the fun. They’re balanced for the biome they are in.

[wet hearth]

can you tell me the difficulty for each dungeon type?

[vocal rivet]

Just a bit more difficult than the standard dungeon in that biome.

The subsequent raids can be tough though.

[plush umbra]

its called a roof

[vague halo]

Is there like a seed scanner tool or anything that can show me the highest point on the map?

or just elevation in general? Would like to find tallest mountain

[fallen zephyr]

An iron caulking gun and a sealant made from wolf teeth?

[smoky quarry]

How come it rains every time i set up to build

[tiny tiger]

Not necessarily however there is a valheim seed viewer website made by wd40bomber

[fallen zephyr]

Genetic predisposition. Sorry, man. :/

[tiny tiger]

In general the biggest mountain biomes will have the highest terrain

however as far as I’m aware it doesn’t show elevation data

[vague halo]

okay thanks. guess i can make a copy of my world and fly around in creative or something

[tiny tiger]

You planning on making a mountain castle?

[vague halo]

not sure, seems too generic

but also is a good build

[flat zealot]

Im currently traveling my the sea to get to moder and everything started shaking and I even took a little bit of dmg?

weird situation

[tiny tiger]

Earthquake?

[flat zealot]

is there even an earthquake in the game?

[vague halo]

i want to make a sled ramp

[tiny tiger]

I’m not sure I have screen shake turned off

[buoyant pagoda]

Is anyone here dual wielding the axes?

[tiny tiger]

That sounds cool I hope you post your progress on here somewhere

[tiny tiger]

I’m gonna when I reach the Ashland’s the lightning berserker axes seem op

[gentle bloom]

is it new that all players on the server a written like: aBcD e FgHiJ ?

no Abbbbb Cdddddd

[buoyant pagoda]

yeah, dual wielding axes sounds awesome

[plush umbra]

you could make a mountains tower and see how high you can go

[half dragon]

time to try if I like 20 kiln strat + tree farm more than running around in swamp between geyser farms

[ocean girder]

Hey you can like, mount your big catches on the wall, right?

Just by using an item stand or whatever?

[merry sun]

Yes, Berserkir Axes the others is kinda trash

[fallen zephyr]

Fo' sho'! A level 5 tuna is a monster of a wall mount!

[half dragon]

to be fair, it fought really hard

[ocean girder]

hell yeah, would you happen to know how many fish types there are?

[merry sun]

You can check Wiki for this

[ocean girder]

I much prefer having human interaction while obtaining information 🤗

[merry sun]

Perch, Pike, Tetra, and Trollfish, Tuna, Coral Cod, Giant Herring, Grouper, Pufferfish, Angler Fish, Magma Fish, Northern Salmon. 12 Respectively, i dont recommend you to try to get Northern Salmon bc of the upcomming Biome Deep North

[vague halo]

i love rotting fish on the wall

[merry sun]

Fun fact: they talk very often

[vague halo]

anyone know any good light sources you dont have to fuel?

best i found was swamp keys

surtling trophies barely produce light

[solid crown]

Mistlands has a new lantern with no fuel cost

Besides that, hanging dverger circlets but that’s expensive.

[vague halo]

really need to beat moder with my friend we beat bonemass a real life year ago

and yagluth to get to mistlands

[merry sun]

Isnt like the light provided by Wisp torch is good

[solid crown]

Or yellow mushrooms on item stands but that’s also not much light

Wisp light and a separate lantern with a yellowish orange glow

[frigid gust]

Putting dvergr circlets on armor stands or wall mounts is good as well, if expensive.

[pulsar mortar]

Flame demon thing trophy makes a nice light on strand

[frigid gust]

What I've found is that if I've got a place where I don't go to refuel the lights often is that I will put some dim permanent lighting like a Surtling trophy or something in strategic areas so I can see well enough to refuel the actual lighting torches, etc. At least until I get to the Mistlands, and I just build and place the Dvergr lanterns everywhere

[fossil salmon]

Good for lighting up your boar pen since fire freaks them out

[frigid gust]

Fire doesn't scare them any more once they've been tamed. It used to, but once you tame them they're fine being near fires.

[fallen zephyr]

Slow-cooked boar is best boar. 😛

[dusty girder]

how do i make fine wood

[fossil salmon]

chop it down

[dusty girder]

oh its just a wood type ?

[frigid gust]

Yes. It's from Birch and Oak trees. But you need more than a stone/flint axe to chop them down. You can also find it rarely in shipwrecks in the Black Forest shores.

[plush umbra]

you can mine shipwrecks with a pickaxe if you dont have the right axe

[dusty girder]

what is the right axe

[plush umbra]

metal

[dusty girder]

iron ?

[plush umbra]

any

[frigid gust]

Bronze or better

[dusty girder]

thanks pita

i dont understand why katness doesnt love you back your such a good guy

my friend went afk its Night dark as fuck can i make it day without them being here

[plush umbra]

devcommands sleep

[dusty girder]

not my server sadly

[plush umbra]

then youre out of luck i guess

[frigid gust]

You can log out and wait a while (night is 9 minutes long), if they're afk they can deal with whatever raids happen while they're there

[fallen zephyr]

'PeetaBread' is a pretty good pun, but not quite the same as 'Pitabred'. (Edit: Also, *Katniss).

[dusty girder]

she'd kill me if i do that

[steep girder]

What do I use to destroy ||monument of torment|| ? Sword didn't do anything and it's kinda hectic so I don't wanna try out every single item in game

[livid gazelle]

how is valheim going my fellow players?

[fallen zephyr]

You have a friend that would kill you if you log out? Define your boundaries my dude.

[dusty girder]

Oh no if i intentionally Logged out and got all the "Progress" Get reset xD

[runic vortex]

Hit it more

[steep girder]

Guess I'll try that

[mortal otter]

how do you defeat the queen on very hard?

[dusty girder]

hit it until she dies

[livid gazelle]

I had a question earlier today, im currently trying to enter the swamps and get my first bits of iron... But i keep getting killed and it gets scary i have to sail back with no armour, no food... no bronze axe(no fine wood) so i can't build another karve that easily, im always scavenging what little i got and the clock ticks if the ground shakes im OUT FOR GOOD. just so i can get back in the swamps and be killed again, and repeat.

[pliant hatch]

With lots of patience, evading and occasional escaping.

[dusty girder]

Portals

[livid gazelle]

we don't do that here

[half dragon]

considering that I didn't take any damage at all (from enemies, only from blood magic), I don't think I'll have any trouble on very hard if I try that sometimes (queen)

[dusty girder]

wdym we dont do that here

[livid gazelle]

so what do you prioritize with your first stack of iron?

[mortal otter]

we have around 30 seekers in the arena

[livid gazelle]

i play immersive mode only. because i force myself

[half dragon]

better boat so you can haul more iron back for sure

[dusty girder]

ouch well then the answer to that is Yes

[runic vortex]

Mace or shield

[half dragon]

also long boat makes sailing more comfy

[livid gazelle]

true i don't have a shield, shield = trolls die easy

[runic vortex]

Don't need a lot of iron to make a boat

[half dragon]

still significant amount if don't have much, but still worth investing

[livid gazelle]

yes i went for a boat and a stonecutter, but i ask around see if other players have a better plan

[dusty girder]

can i anchor my boat?

[fossil salmon]

What about chickens?

[fallen zephyr]

Nope. But it will stop dead if you jump out of the boat.

[pliant hatch]

If you're in a team; let one person distract the Queen, while the rest takes out the seekers.
Bile bombs, Ooze bombs and AoE weapons like the Atgeir or 2-handed hammer are quite good for that.
Mistwalker or Frostner works too. Can even use magic to do that.

The moment you let her spawn too many monsters, you're toast......
As you might have noticed.

[half dragon]

shield, mace, boat for sure high up there for first items to get with iron

[fervent marsh]

Hey, does any one know if you can grow vine-berries on both sides of a wood wall? I'm not sure why one side needs more space, if it's not enough dirt or just too close cause the other berries on the other side.

[frigid gust]

Fire doesn't bother any tamed animals. They will happily immolate themselves on any accessible source, though.

[livid gazelle]

the more i think about it, i just want to get the iron pickaxe. More minig power = more bronze, get backup tools... ect.

[dusty girder]

how long til the dead ship despawns?

[half dragon]

pickaxe would be 4th on my list of items to get, assuming I'm using bronze pickaxe and not antler trash

[mortal otter]

thanks

[pliant hatch]

What dead ship?

I've never see a dead ship in vanilla.

[fallen zephyr]

Chickens don't like fire. They'll huddle away from a fire in their pen. My advice is have one pen for breeding chickens (with no fire), then have another pen to hatch eggs (with a fire).

[dusty girder]

nvm it took like 30 seconds. just a "Killed" boat doesnt matter version i think

[livid gazelle]

i do have a bronze pickaxe. i trashed antler one as soon as possible, what are your first three iron items then?

[pliant hatch]

You mean one you destroyed yourself?

[dusty girder]

ye

[runic vortex]

Antler trash can be repaired by a simple workbench though. Iron pick wasn't a priority for me

[half dragon]

and you can just make a portal to repair your nearly 2x better bronze pickaxe and have to repair it far less often

[lusty kettle]

why does my scone not light up even though I have resin in it? does it maybe only light up at night?

[livid gazelle]

yeah i used to think the same way, but really bronze pickaxe is my top priority when i enter bronze age first time. Mining copper with antler is PAINFULL.

[half dragon]

^

[stray lily]

You mean sconce? A scone is a baked good, goes well with tea.

A sconce will not light if there is an object too close above it

[runic vortex]

Copper and tin sure I didn't really notice much improvement vs muddy scrap though

[lusty kettle]

I sure love sconce🤤 also, ty

[half dragon]

it still helps with scrap too. Maybe not if you're only hitting 1 single piece, but when hitting multiple pieces it for sure helps

[stray lily]

Anyone know when we're getting the Maypole item back? My house has been asymmetrical since a lox taming went wrong

[livid gazelle]

yes like i said, im getting killed over and over in the swamps. but what little iron i got earlier today, im loveing my bronze pickaxe # 1 best girl, so i think i will prioritize iron pick next. Then a shield and an axe... Or maybe i should go for the iron helmet first?

[half dragon]

the extra durability also makes it worth it, I never have to quit mininig because of low durability, but because I'm at max weight

[unreal veldt]

i really wish they added angled flametal pillars

[half dragon]

while bringing the iron outside can take a quick hop through a portal and repair and just go back in

[livid gazelle]

True, i like to take a forge with me into the swamps. and just don't even have to portal nowhere. Start a quick small settlement right in the swamps...

[runic vortex]

If survivability is the issue better weapons, shield, armor, and food is the fix

[dusty girder]

average sabaton enjoyer

[half dragon]

for sure convenient so don't have to bring back the iron and just craft on site. I usually just go find a really good size swamp and fill a longboat fully with iron on 2nd trip

[unreal veldt]

😎

[livid gazelle]

So maybe i should go for the iron armor first right? then i'll get my pickaxe

[half dragon]

root armor would be an option as well

it protects you from all of the biggest dangers

[livid gazelle]

does it? i don't like it. it look ugly

[pliant hatch]

In the swamp using Troll or Root armor would be a better choice over Iron armor, imho.

[half dragon]

chest piece to protect from archers, head piece for poison

[pliant hatch]

And no movement speed reduction.

[half dragon]

it saves so much time to skip iron armor

[runic vortex]

Yeah poison resist is very helpful in the swamp

[dusty girder]

is there a way to avoid making my hammer go away in water trying to make a Harbour

What is the "forest is moving"

[half dragon]

the only solution is either using a boat (like karve for easy manouvering) hugging a raised terrain

or if don't mind using console commands, debugmode for flight

[oak walrus]

my friend's game has been crashing after the new update, has anyone else experienced this?

[west pulsar]

I wanna build a new base what biome should i do it in

[runic vortex]

Ashlands

[pliant hatch]

Plains.
That is, if you want it to become a permanent base.

[half dragon]

plains for nice music, comfy looking landscape and GOD DAMNED SQUITOS!

[west pulsar]

Ok plains it is

[pliant hatch]

You forgot to mention the "Can plant all crops up to plains there!" to your list. 😉

[half dragon]

oh yea, for sure the best biome for farming

[mighty gate]

Gm everyone

[untold vale]

I wonder what would happen if you tried to summon the trolls with teh roll staff inside teh Queens Lair?

[shy marlin]

Queen won’t attack the trolls

Currently bugged and this bug was noted on the PTB but never fixed 🙂

[untold vale]

But will the Trolls even make it into teh chamber or will they smash on the rocks outside teh Lair?

[shy marlin]

They make it in

[untold vale]

Do the trolls attack her?

[shy marlin]

Yes

[half dragon]

oh btw the bridge finally passed the ship of unusual size test. However, the water is too shallow and scraped the bottom a whole lot... gotta dig deeper and not looking forward to it 😂

[untold vale]

Wow.

[shy marlin]

Yea there’s a spawn limit I don’t know what it is though

[azure yacht]

Probably not. Better kill everything instead of letting it increase numbers

[shy marlin]

Nah there is, back when i was fighting 10 queens on very hard, queen spew and queen roar would stop spawning enemies at a certain point

[fallen zephyr]

Deathsquitoes are THE mobs in game for retarding progress.
"This Karve is great; let's explore some coastline in order to plan our next move."
"Oh crap! There's a giant bug flying towards me, despite the fact that I'm a reasonable distance from the coast of the Plains biome."
"We can't outrun it in the Karve!"
...
"I really can't be bothered recovering my items from a floating tombstone in the water right now. Let's log out and get some pizza."

[azure yacht]

But at first, did spawns still happen? Or she never spawn anything?

[shy marlin]

Don’t really understand your question, seeker cap seemed to be at 4-5 seekers idk and broods I have no clue, also this data isn’t 100% correct it’s just my guess, but I know for a fact there is a limit

[flat zealot]

should I make two/three large buildings or try and do a smaller village again?(im doing a second base because moder is half the map away from me)

[unreal veldt]

is there a command to pause the day/night cycle

[fallen zephyr]

Logging out?

[unreal veldt]

id rather have it daylight out if im in debug mode making massive builds

[ornate sigil]

There is a devcommand to set the time of day, but not sure about pausing the day's progression.

[unreal veldt]

i usually type command "Sleep"

[ornate sigil]

Using "tod .3" will make it dawn.

.5 is noon

0 and 1 are "midnight"

Sleep will pass the day, tod will change the time without changing the day count.

[nocturne wolf]

Tod pauses time

[unreal veldt]

thanks for clarifying that for me

now the only annoying thing is that my build hammer always breaks when im doing massive builds XD

[clever lava]

everyone sleeps on ooze bombs
they're the easiest way to kill squitos and bats (aside from 2h hammer) they're health is so low they'll die in 1-2 ticks of poison
"I just shoot them with bow, it's easy"- yeah if you see them, but if you're naked and otw to pick up corpse in the plains, bring some ooze bombs for a quick and ez way to kill them. If you hear the buzz just throw a bomb in front of you while you're running, run through the cloud, dodge the squito attack if needed and listen to them explode in your wake

[delicate marlin]

Spawn a lvl 100 hammer xD

[half dragon]

I don't think it's too much to ask to add a hammer made of something else than wood

same with hoe and... was it a rake? whatever farming tool

[teal tiger]

Are they any good in the Swamp where they're unlocked? I'm just getting into the Swamp.

[unreal veldt]

or just add an unbreakable hammer and hoe to spawnable command items

[clever lava]

not really, most swamp enemies are immune/resistant to poison

[frigid gust]

They're S-tier in the mountains, though. Especially the Frost Caves.

[half dragon]

Nah, just explore frost caves in root set like me, melee only too. Then you'll feel warmth

I honestly have no idea how I didn't die grinding that fenris set...

[clever lava]

ooze bombs DESTROY bats and deathsquitos
and anything that gets stuck or can't get to you

[azure yacht]

Ooze bombs destroy anything that isn't immune/resistant to poison

[frigid gust]

The Ulvs and Cultists are also weak to poison, so it's super useful in the tight spaces in the caves. Plus Fuling groups, it softens them up a lot even if it doesn't kill them outright.

[azure yacht]

Eve mistlands enemies and they're three biomes later. And Mistlands has an improved version

[half dragon]

tried against dvergr towers?

[azure yacht]

I have been wondering that

[teal tiger]

Aren't there two bombs? Is ooze just a lot better?

[half dragon]

ooze is just easier to mass produce

[clever lava]

there are bile bombs from ticks in mistlands, maybe a 3rd from ashlands
ooze is the weakest but easiest to make

[teal tiger]

Ah gotcha, idk why I thought there were two in the Swamp. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[oak walrus]

why are the ashlands so impossible? i cannot get off a beach i landed my ship on, ive died 2 twice on the same beach because instantly when i land on the beach i have around 20 enemies behind me and in the next 1.30mins im dead. i have max level mistlands armor and weapons but i dont even have the time to hit an enemy because i will get shot. and i believe that last time i died before exiting the game, my stuff got punched under some rock in the water (the big spiky rocks) by one of the giant flying birds. me and my friend are lost right now, if someone has tips or advice id greatly appreciate it.

[half dragon]

Slow and steady. Gotta get there and basically dig down and get a portal up and some kind of extra help to defend yourself

[plush umbra]

hm today i will tame askvin
(clueless)
panel showing attacking fallen valkyrie

[half dragon]

choosing a good landing spot would help for sure, like a beach that is easy to defend

[oak walrus]

yeah digging down is a good idea but i dont stay alive long enough

[plush umbra]

get on shore and build a moat

[oak walrus]

the whole coast is littered with spawners

[plush umbra]

or build up with the hoe

something they cant break

[half dragon]

do you use magic? Haven't tried, but might be possible to destroy some spawners while you're out in the ocean from distance

[stray lily]

I was gonna suggest ship-to-shore attacks

[oak walrus]

my friend uses magic, i use the other armor

[half dragon]

I'd suggest have him bombard the beach while you defend him if anything gets too close

[oak walrus]

good idea actually

[plush umbra]

if you need to, choose a spike close to shore and set up a portal there until you can land

[oak walrus]

yeah

[plush umbra]

and dont go at night

[oak walrus]

only one problem, we lost our stuff, my stuff is at the bottom of the water or glitched inside something and his is maybe 50m away from the coast

[oak walrus]

of course

[stray lily]

My world isn't ready for Ashlands yet, but we have a Swamp island across the sea from us. There's a small patch of plains at the southern end that we were gonna use for a dock, but it was a Fuling village. We were able to thin their numbers from our Longship before one of their Shaman killed one of us (root armor 😏) and lit our ship on fire.

I used a harpoon to drag a Berserker around for a bit, too 🤣

[oak walrus]

:D

ill try tomorrow to get me adn my bro's stuff back and get the hell of that beach

D-day ahh beach

[stray lily]

Yeah, Valheim's gotta be the Demon's Souls of survival games 🤣

[oak walrus]

fr

[magic prawn]

I keep getting crushed on the coast as well. I think we landed near a fortress or whatever camps are in this biome. We set up a portal on one of the spires near the coast which has been super helpful on corpse runs, but still can't get the stuff from the corpse with the "good stuff" lol.

[oak walrus]

im going to have nightmares

[oak walrus]

we cant even get a portal up before dying

[dusty girder]

Can someone thats good at building give me tips

[oak walrus]

this update made me realise that mistlands is as safe and calm as a picnic day

[stray lily]

#building-tips

[magic prawn]

Legit forgot about this. Might eat a few deaths later to try this out. Thank you!

[stray lily]

I'll tell you this: you can hit E on keyboard to cycle through snap points on any given piece. It's extremely useful for doing non-square buildings

[tiny tiger]

Honestly it’s just extremely useful in general and I find myself using it for every build

You can also press Q to cycle the other way

[azure yacht]

And I expect deep north to make ashlands look like summer vacation

[half dragon]

Deep north will be the attack on titan

[stray lily]

Deep North is gonna be beautiful. I look forward to the builds

[half dragon]

why have many small enemies when you can have a few gigantic enemies that 1 shot you?

[azure yacht]

My wish for DN is for all of the enemies to be beast-like and much bigger than you

[hallow canyon]

Will the stone golem make a comeback as the small enemy in the Deep North?

[tiny tiger]

Polar bears

[half dragon]

oh I'm hoping for some kind of mammoth like enemy

[azure yacht]

Golem is the toy DN mobs use for fun when they're bored

[tiny tiger]

Okay mammoth trumps polar bears

[hallow canyon]

Oooh, it would be fun taming a mammoth

[stray lily]

Moder as a regular trash spawn

[tiny tiger]

Adult Drakes#

[hallow canyon]

Would be nice if we could have a dog sled for our tamed wolves

[oak walrus]

Im going to go crazy... AAAHHHH

[half dragon]

that would be... cool. badum tss

[oak walrus]

I literally have 2 boats sinked on the same beach.

[void fulcrum]

That's the minimum I am expecting too, having too much fun in the Ashlands

[tiny tiger]

I’ve got a great idea, how about a constant blizzard so you can’t see fuck all and you need to craft a icy wisp light to be able to see 2 metres in front of you

[azure yacht]

That's my secondary idea: Biome is the main danger, not the enemies. Contrary to ashlands

[void fulcrum]

I already have the same with Seasonality in Winter XD

[azure yacht]

Ashlands is about warfare

DN is about surviving, exploring with less fighting

The fewer enemies work as compensation for each one to be extremely powerful

I imagine half the fights feeling like fighting a boss

[hallow canyon]

I can go for fewer but bigger/more powerful mobs

[azure yacht]

Essentially just that

[stray lily]

I could see the Deep North having big sections of calm, like a cooldown from Ashlands before the final boss.

[azure yacht]

Fights not as frequent but compensate with quality. Each one being as if you fought a boss

[hallow canyon]

Polar bears, mammoths (tameable), walrus

[oak walrus]

And you walk and run 70% slower because theres so much snow

[tiny tiger]

Permafrost debuff

[hallow canyon]

Need snowshoes to walk or run, otherwise you have to jump to get through the snow

[azure yacht]

No normal animals.

But I imagine bearserkers. Humanoid creatures that can turn into bear-like monsters

[void fulcrum]

And then you have to craft an armor with cold resistance, because the higher you go the worse it becomes

[hallow canyon]

Direwolves

[stray lily]

I love what's currently there with the sheets of ice making it difficult to get a boat through

[tiny tiger]

The sheets of ice should have polar bears and further inland arctic foxes

[hallow canyon]

Water randomly freezes over waterways

[void fulcrum]

Direwolwes, Yetis, Polar Bears, killer Penguins, obvious Frost Skeletons... we want them all

[azure yacht]

I wish for icebreaker ship

[hallow canyon]

Penguins aren't northern animals

[stray lily]

Drifting platforms, at the very least

[void fulcrum]

We are not on Earth, so who says that here they are only Southern animals?

[azure yacht]

And I'm between the biome being surrounded by massive walls of ice and you need to climb them up somehow.

Or icebreaker ship that removes them so you can reach the actual biome

[oak walrus]

But because that armor is made of wool, it makes you itchy so you need to scratch yourself constantly

[hallow canyon]

Will need a special icebreaker ship

[void fulcrum]

Seconded

[tiny tiger]

I mean the game is based on norse mythology and there’s no mention of penguins

[ornate sigil]

Actually put thay into suggestions not long ago, ice breaker ships.

[burnt glen]

I think an ice variant of the wraith would be really cool. Fast and blends in with the environment.

[azure yacht]

Already did

[stray lily]

As a bonus, the Icebreaker ship is sentient and will randomly make bad pickup lines

[azure yacht]

A long time ago

[hallow canyon]

Narwhal in the waters that will pierce any wooden ship

[vocal rivet]

It's been in there a lot. But do we really want two one trick boats in the final two biomes?

[hallow canyon]

Another option would be to upgrade an existing boat with an icebreaker

[azure yacht]

If only we had an ocean update that allowed us to customize our ships...

[shy marlin]

What's one trick about the drakkar?

[azure yacht]

It's almost as if an ocean update before DN made total sense...

[stray lily]

I think all ships should have equipment slots for upgrades, personally. I'd like a telescope for expanded exploration. Maybe a stern-mounted harpoon for serpents.

[oak walrus]

I dont like the new boat, its glitchy, makes my friend's game crash and its really bad in shallow waters

[void fulcrum]

It's a Drakkar in name only XD

[vocal rivet]

All it does is negate the boiling water effect.

[shy marlin]

It literally has increased inventory in the ship what are you on about

[azure yacht]

It should've been named Knarr instead

[vocal rivet]

Pfft. Barely.

[azure yacht]

Idk why they went for drakkar. That's just longship

[shy marlin]

🤷‍♂️ still an increase, and i thought we loved being pedantic

[azure yacht]

And longship is technically a snekkja

[hallow canyon]

Would be nice to upgrade Karve on up to have ceramic-plated hulls (requiring materials from Ashlands), and to have an icebreaker for Deep North using the boss drop from Ashlands to modify the Drakkar and Deep North materials for the others

[void fulcrum]

I love my Snekkja flotilla XD

[vocal rivet]

Noone loves pedantry.

[azure yacht]

Tbh, it matters little that the new ship is hard to sail, you pretty much only need it once or twice because of the new portal

[stray lily]

I like the Karve better sometimes because it can pass through some of the narrow streams easier.

[tiny tiger]

Different boats for different things

Karve is the perfect fishing boat, longship is perfect for general ocean exploration and the new boat gets you to hell

[light snow]

you certainly do, but anyway

[oak walrus]

I started playing more pve games because i went insane playing pvp games, here i am contemplating my life's decissions after stepping foot in the ashlands

[tiny tiger]

and raft is just raft

[oak walrus]

What am i supposed to do the new giant vulture, that thing exploded a full castle while i was inside it and then proceeded to glitch me under the water.

[tiny tiger]

Rn I’m delaying the Ashland’s for as long as possible, I’ve decided to take a break from my mistlands character/world to start a new Viking who will be blessed in wielding blades

It seems like many people are finding it difficult so I want to perfect my combat and game knowledge before I take it on

[west pulsar]

Any tips on how to make a pretty base? Or even just an average looking one

[stray lily]

#building-tips

[west pulsar]

Fair enough

[burnt glen]

The new boat is cool, and getting to ashlands is an experience itself, but it should be something new in DN. Some other way to navigate through the floating icebergs would be nice.

[west pulsar]

I want a flying boat for the deep north or a boat that sails through ice

[pulsar mortar]

DN shouldn't allow boats, players should jump across ice to get safe onto the beach

[oak walrus]

The ashlands is just as it looks. Hell.

[stray lily]

Lots of tutorials on youtube. You could even look at design tips for other games like The Sims. I tend to make dormers to make my roofs look less plain, even on box builds

[west pulsar]

Fair enough

[burnt glen]

Just jumping across sheets of broken ice in the water is boring though.

[oak walrus]

Add a new serpent that shoots giant ice spikes at you

[pulsar mortar]

or killer whale

[stray lily]

Or maybe extreme currents so you get dragged down river 🤣

[west pulsar]

Give me a comically sized whale that eats things and ice

Giant iceberg? Gets swallowed by a whale

[oak walrus]

Thats sounds nice

[stray lily]

Tameable sea creatures, plz

[west pulsar]

You cant tame the sea!

[pulsar mortar]

tell that to cia programs

[void fulcrum]

The sea does not like to be restrained

[stray lily]

Yar, she be a fickle mistress,

[burnt glen]

A ferry by the Dvergrs to transport you into the deep north 😂

[magic prawn]

DOGSLED

[lone sapphire]

They absolutely killed it with the ashlands boss music.

[ornate sigil]

And you have no control over speed or the fact that they spill their life story the whole time😋

[merry sun]

good suggestion

btw, which will be the main Challenge in the Deep North? we already got freezing in mountains and almost all capes ingame are resistant against freeze

[frigid gust]

I think we should have to break down or climb an ice wall.

[stray lily]

Snowshoes/nordic skis

[pulsar mortar]

Blizzards that works similar to mist in mistlands but this time it can be avoided with any type of wall

[west pulsar]

😭

[west pulsar]

Ooooh you're cooking i think

[burnt glen]

We can have some sort of extreme cold.

[void fulcrum]

we could have something that lowers your stamina and stamina recharge, and after a while if you are not protected/near a fire, you just stop moving and freeze there

[stray lily]

Considering we're going directly from Ashlands to Deepnorth, I expect the Ashlands will unlock something warmth-related. Maybe a fire wisp that provides weather immunity

[void fulcrum]

I imagine something like that, yes, like the Queen unlocked something to protect against the fire

[merry sun]

fader relic relationed

[ornate sigil]

Nah, we all will just line our pockets with surtling cores to keep warm.

[paper marsh]

I feel like Deep North is going to be almost unplayable without killing Fader. I feel like they won’t want people skipping to Deep North early

[shy marlin]

My bet is that the fader drop will keep us warm in the deep north

[burnt glen]

Undying Emerald Flame: Use it to create something that will keep you warm as you go into DN.

[merry sun]

btw after yagluth got us the Wisp 70% of the mist Challenge is kinda non existent, ye its annoying but isnt hard

[stray lily]

Mistlands is borderline unplayable without clearing Yagluth

[void fulcrum]

I like this one, pretty lore-related and with a good-sounding name

[shy marlin]

That's just not true lol

[paper marsh]

Not rly. I’ve completed mistlands several times skipping yag. The biome is mostly about sound

[shy marlin]

Source: Progressed through all of Mistlands without killing yag

[merry sun]

so i do not want a warm thing that will just protect 100% against the main challenge

[stray lily]

I suppose there are spots where you can see clearly. I rescind my statement. Killing yag does make it easier, though

[stray lily]

Deepnorth will likely have an aspect that makes it impassible until you've slain Fader, but once you're there I'm sure there will plenty of other challenges. Even with the Wisplight, you still have some wild terrain and creatures in Mistlands

[paper marsh]

No mist spots are nice but even in mist it’s not too bad without a wisp light. You can see what’s immediately in front of you for combat, and can hear things coming from far away. And most the important locations stick out or have a wisp light by them by default so easy to identify

[frigid gust]

I wish Yagluth's power was useful for anything 😦 It's just useless because meads do everything it does but better and for longer.

[merry sun]

I liked Mistlands bc of the bugs and insects, different types of enemies never seem before not just Undead or Skeletons

[azure yacht]

This is my other wish: For DN to be the only biome that is actually hardlocked

[paper marsh]

I could imagine something like DN having a similar effect to mountain, but harsher and can’t be bypassed by campfires or frost resist

We’ll have to see though

I imagine it’ll be practically hard locked but not entirely so

[azure yacht]

You literally cannot reach it without killing Fader at the very least

[paper marsh]

Like I feel like you could prob go to deep north but you would die within a few sec without fader drop

[frigid gust]

I mean... the Ashlands is practically hardlocked like that.

[azure yacht]

Or you simply cannot reach it

[merry sun]

the last Biome in game must be on the top 3 Biome in terms of gameplay

[azure yacht]

Nope

[paper marsh]

Let’s be honest that’s prob not gonna happen

[merry sun]

you can reach ash without killing Queen

[paper marsh]

Yea ash isn’t hard locked at all

[azure yacht]

Why? Not being able to reach it or being extremely dangerous for tryign to do so early doesn't sound like something devs would NOT do...

[pulsar mortar]

But what about enemies there? Ice spirits, wolves, bears, werewolves, giants

[paper marsh]

It’s soft locked

[merry sun]

What if its so cold in Deep North, that makes fire not a thing?,

[azure yacht]

Top 8th biome (rank is in terms of progression)

[merry sun]

edited

[paper marsh]

I just can’t think of a mechanic that would make sense. Other than devs just being “haha deep north boss put impassable dome around the entire continent you need fader drop to pass through it”

Which I personally think is silly

[azure yacht]

Giant ice spirit werewolf-bears

[frigid gust]

Some kind of belt that exudes a fire shield or something, melt through a wall of ice that forms back behind you?

[azure yacht]

Giant walls of ice surrounding the biome and need icebreaker ship to clear them.

Extremely hard ice that cannot be pickaxed through via any other means that isn't from Fader's drops

[merry sun]

only Moder cant be skipped i think

[stray lily]

Moder can be skipped, but it's really not recommended lol

[merry sun]

this sounds ridiculous ngl

[stray lily]

So much unlocked with artisan table.

[azure yacht]

It is, that's why it's "not recommended"

It's pretty suicidal

[merry sun]

Like not killing the Boss is harder than killing the Boss

[stray lily]

We've done basically everything in the Plains before killing Moder. We just couldn't smelt black metal and make any of the better food

[paper marsh]

I dunno if skipping Moder is "suicidal", but it definitely makes things harder yea

I know you can get Mistlands weapons without Moder, I imagine Ashlands weapons too. So it's not terrible

[stray lily]

You basically skip an entire equipment tier and don't get to use black metal or linen

[cunning gazelle]

If I was to describe ashlands in one word it would be “excessive” - feels like a major departure from the rest of the game

[paper marsh]

Yea it's possible, I guess it's just not what I prefer. I like about Valheim that it allows you to go everywhere but just punishes you for going where you don't belong

[burnt glen]

The main question I have is skip it for what end? If you're doing a bossless run I get it, but I don't really know why just skip moder. Btw yo can't fight the queen without having beaten Moder.

[frigid gust]

It also locks a ton of food out if you can't upgrade your cooking station with blackmetal, etc.,

[shy marlin]

They could just make a biome so difficult entering it early is completely out of the question too...

[azure yacht]

From black forge yes.

But without magic, mistlands is harder, and in ashlands...

[merry sun]

tbh i really liked Ashlands, but i just realized is just more undead, im kinda desolated rm

[paper marsh]

Tbh on Vhard Hardcore Moder is kinda scary. I could understand someone wanting to skip her, although not many

[paper marsh]

True, a lot harder. I know some vikings here don't even use Magic to begin with though, I could imagine them going for it.

[azure yacht]

I like that too, but it makes perfect sense that they wouldn't want to simply softlock what's arguably the most important biome in the game

[stray lily]

The only reason I can think of is if you can't find the Moder spawner and get impatient. Mountains are annoying to navigate sometimes.

[merry sun]

did you guys used Magic to progress trough Mistlands? i think its just a late game thing, like after the Queen

[frigid gust]

I used it to kill the Queen, not just afterwards

But it does take a pretty robust production pipeline and exploration

[azure yacht]

That works too. Ashlands is softlocked like that. It's very hard to enter, but not impossible

It's also noticeably harder to establish a base without the shield generator, especially if for whatever reason you decide to use wood

[paper marsh]

Yes I did. Considering not using it in the future though, it does make the game kinda boring

Ember staff at least. Ice staff is a lil more fun

[burnt glen]

I used it once, found it boring so I just stuck to my melee weapons.

[merry sun]

after i upgraded all my mist weapons to lvl 3 i was just bored to grind more etr

[paper marsh]

Is the shield generator really that needed?

[azure yacht]

Earliest staves are mistlands-tier

[paper marsh]

I thought shield generator was mainly just for infrequent meteors that did meh damage, but haven't really been in Ashlands and basebuilding a lot

[azure yacht]

A little, but it also has a large spawn prevention range.

But the cinder projectiles can be annoying

[hallow canyon]

You need the Moder drop as much as the Queen drop to get to Ashlands

[paper marsh]

Yea but you hardly need either

[azure yacht]

If you were going for non-mage, definitely

Although sealbreaker is crafted at galdr table

[paper marsh]

My first try sailing to Ashlands in a longship with no preparation, no repairing underway, no abandoning the ship, no using shield to negate water damage, etc. I made it all the way to the coast

[hallow canyon]

Unless your portal is inside a stone building, it will become charcoal

[paper marsh]

So put it in a stone building

[azure yacht]

Until you get stone portal

[paper marsh]

Prob cheaper than a shield gen

[azure yacht]

Molten cores aren't that hard to gather, and you only need two, ideally four

[hallow canyon]

Shield gen isn't that bad

[paper marsh]

Nor is a little stone shack or stone portal

[hallow canyon]

I tend to like redundancy so I use both

Especially helps when mobs are shooting projectiles at you

[kind gate]

know cool mods about tamming?

[azure yacht]

And marksmen and twitcher love doing that

Does artisan table's spawn prevention radius matches its build radius (40m)?

[teal tiger]

Should I skip iron armor and just craft root armor? I know I'll need a ton of armor down the road.

[merry pebble]

someone in #mods-discussion might 🙂

[stray lily]

Question: is fishing viable in ashlands? I want to make a fishing nexus, but need to know how many portals to accommodate

[pine hill]

Do you guys rock ashalnds with flametal helm/ greaves and trusty root harnask? Or is there a better combo?

[shy marlin]

fenris hat/leggings + root harnesk

[burnt glen]

I'm doing the whole Askvin set with Ashen cape

[void fulcrum]

Full flametal set and asksvin cloak, working like a charm

[dense rapids]

why cant you burn core wood in a fire?

[sullen sedge]

hi im looking for a server to join i wanna start fresh havent polayed ina while

[dense rapids]

#1024264966712340510

[vocal rivet]

Presumably to stop you wasting valuable resources.

[dense rapids]

But you can burn fine wood?

[merry pebble]

you can put both in a kiln if you have too much of it, and you even get coal out of it 😄

[stray lily]

Don't think I've ever put finewood in a campfire or hearth

[teal tiger]

I've accidentally burned tons of finewood

I just started planting birch trees everywhere lol

And pine. Was interesting seeing my empty meadows become a pine forest

[azure yacht]

Probably an oversight. There are those in the game, especially in the earlier biomes

Or could be another (expensive) use for finewood

[stray lily]

This is why Thor gave us the Obliterator

[peak thicket]

Anyone have a full trophy list for the ash?

[steel copper]

I might do, let me check

[rapid bison]

Has anyone used the new Fire setting to gain an advantage against bosses?

I might have to use flame arrows more if I can set the ground on fire next to enemies.

[steel copper]

I am missing 1 and the boss

[peak thicket]

So how many do you have

[steel copper]

7

maybe the miniboss and mainboss left?

[peak thicket]

As far as I know mini boss doesn’t drop one. At least didn’t for me

[steel copper]

I dont have one for the mages in the fortress yet

and I've done 6 of them

[peak thicket]

Pretty sure it’s the same as the most dvergrs

Could be wrong tho

Mist **

[finite lodge]

is there a wiki that people use that isnt absolute garbage

[vocal vale]

What wiki is garbage?

[finite lodge]

fandom

[vocal vale]

That one’s fine?

Or is it because Ashlands stuff hasn’t been added fast enough?

[steel copper]

no I mean Ashlands mages in the fortresses not the dvergr mages

[finite lodge]

like i want a resource that lets me pick a crafting material then it has a link to everything i can craft with that item

like serpent scale for example, i go to the fandom wiki page and it doesnt tell me a single thing i can build with it

[pliant hatch]

Guess you didn't use the search funtion?

And as a matter of fact, it does show what can be crafted with it.
Just need to scroll down a bit.

[vocal vale]

It’s right on the page if you scroll a few lines

[finite lodge]

im regarded, i was on the serpent wiki page D:

[pliant hatch]

Did the same thing about "fine wood."

Search gave me 300!! entries.
I picked "fine wood, scrolled down at the page and every item fine wood is used in showed up.

[surreal furnace]

Are the ashlands weapons worth making damage-wise? Like better than Mistwalker?

[finite lodge]

is there anything special about the serpent shield?

[steel copper]

it looks cool

but tower shields are just for defence, no parry bonus

[paper marsh]

has 50% pierce resist, which is very handy in a lot of the biomes

[void fulcrum]

The Serpent scale shield is the fourth tower shield. It has the same block armor compared to silver shield but provides pierce resistance when blocking and not being able to parry enemy attacks. It requires less iron to craft compared to iron tower shield while also having more block power, less movement speed reduction and dodge roll cost increase.

[pliant hatch]

Its looks are better as its usefullness.....

[nocturne wolf]

Tower shields are very useful for saving on stamina

Tower shields are great for 2-3 health foods, and bucklers are good for 2-3 stamina foods because of their stamina usage

[azure yacht]

Pierce resistance is huge. That + heavy armor and seekers would become deathsquitos while deathsquitos become mosquitos

[finite lodge]

you cant use serpent meat on iron cooking station?

[pliant hatch]

It's the only spot you can use it on.
Have you put that cooking station over a hearth?

[finite lodge]

wiki says its the only thing i can cook serpent meat on, but then i make it and it says i cant do it

[paper marsh]

Does it say it requires a fire when you try?

[finite lodge]

no it just said i couldnt do it, the hearth worked though

i just want to make serpent stew and killing the serpent definitely just isnt enough, now i need silver D:

[nocturne wolf]

What do you need the silver for? You can make serpent stew without it.

[teal tiger]

You don't need silver for the hearth

Just stone and iron

(for hearth + ||iron cooking station||)

[finite lodge]

i need to upgrade my cauldron though

to make the stew

[nocturne wolf]

Get turnips from a swamp

They’re quite rare but useful in many other recipes and can be easily farmed once found, like carrots

[teal tiger]

Ohhhh stew, yeah you still shouldn't need silver

[finite lodge]

ive got 3 turnip seeds actually

[nocturne wolf]

Turnips can be used to craft an improvement for the cauldron

[sharp raptor]

Butchers table requires 2 silver

[void fulcrum]

To do the stew you need just a single upgrade to the cauldron, so even the spice rack is enough

you don't need any other upgrade

[pliant hatch]

And in addition to that:
A spice rack is a lot easier to build as a butcher's table as you should have most of the ingredients by now.
You may need turnips, but since you got the seeds, better plant those, as well as carrots (if you got those).

[strange arrow]

spice rack MVP of cooking

[blissful stream]

building in water is a pain in the arse

[steel copper]

finally got the warlock trophy

so is there 8 in total minus the boss?

[strange arrow]

are you using the alternate snapping with Q/E on keyboard?

[blissful stream]

ye

[strange arrow]

not perfect but much better than it used to be at least

i could barely get a snap point before those 😅

[native garnet]

Man adding fire weakness to the feather cape without warning is F-ed up. It took me so many deaths to figure out that was the 'problem'

[nocturne wolf]

At least it now has increased jump height

[frigid gust]

In the first beta they added a fire weakness and removed the cold resist it had 😉 At least they added the cold resist back.

[native garnet]

I've been dying left right and center to the new fire dmg thingies thinking they were just insanely powerful

[native garnet]

Yeah I saw on Reddit indeed, that's even more insane

but I love the feather cape since I'm clumsy, so now I have to choose between dying from fire or dying from falling

[frigid gust]

The other good news is that resistances override weaknesses, so a fire resist barleywine will set you right as rain

[strange arrow]

there were a few grumbles... 😅

[native garnet]

Yay, yet another thing to fill my inventory so I have to portal my loot back every 3 slain enemies 😬

[frigid gust]

Marie Kondo it. Go lighter on what you bring with, you don't always need all the weapons, you don't need to bring food with if you've got a portal, etc.

[native garnet]

If I don't bring my food I will definitely run out mid battle at some point since I will forget 😅

[frigid gust]

That's when my kids tell me I have a skill issue...

[strange arrow]

don't make me put away my cultivator you swines

[pliant hatch]

There's no need to bring 10 stacks of each food if you got a portal with you.
Three of each food works too and actually saves the weight of two full stacks.

[frigid gust]

That. It also means you can eat or even just drop one and free up a slot and not be too bothered with wasting anything.

[pliant hatch]

And considering the time it takes to run out, that's about an hour of exploring.

[teal tiger]

I'm having zero luck finding sea serpents omg

[nocturne wolf]

If you really need to, eat food out of a chest

[strange arrow]

something something manage inventory daaark siiiiiyyyyydeeee

[fair cairn]

go out in stormy nights

[teal tiger]

I have a few times xD the game is just hating me rn

[frigid gust]

Sail long distances in the ocean at night or storms. They have a cooldown so if they don't spawn in an area they won't for like another 20 minutes or so. Longer voyages are the way around that.

[fair cairn]

also, those serpents dont despawn during the day ( the ones that spawn during a storm)

[fair cairn]

wellp

[native garnet]

They would be right, I am not a skilled gamer 😅

[teal tiger]

I've heard they spawn at the ocean floor so sailing at top speed isn't advised in case you miss one?

[steel copper]

did you know you can jump through the lava...

omg with a feather cape lol

[void fulcrum]

Or install Sea of Noodles mod, then you will start to regret having installed it 😄

[strange arrow]

just set sail with the aim to reach anywhere with clear weather....

[pliant hatch]

And don't forget to bring your Abyssmal Harpoon....

[mighty gate]

Hello

[lilac girder]

what's next for valheim

[fair cairn]

the last biome is deepnorth, as for what will come directly after this? dont know

[feral parrot]

Anyone have any ideas as to why my PC stopped loading Valheim? It gets to the character select screen.. to the world.. I click play.. all is well.. and then as it loads the world… it just doesn’t finish loading and eventually times out/shuts down

[frigid gust]

You need to wait, and don't touch the mouse or keyboard or anything. When it's generating the new content from the update it can take a while and it won't give you any feedback. It can take up to 5 minutes or even more.

Once that step is done it'll load quickly like it used to, it's just that the update/conversion of old worlds to the latest patch takes time.

[feral parrot]

I’ve waited.. it eventually goes to the light-grey screen of death saying it stopped responding

[vocal rivet]

Ignore that, keep waiting.

[full hawk]

@feral parrot there was a drivers update for NVIDIA, my fiance was having the same issue. He updated his drivers and the issue stopped

[frigid gust]

If it says it stopped responding that's because you touched the mouse or keyboard. Seriously... just wait. Even if it says that, don't close out the dialog. If you don't have an SSD or a very fast and new PC it can take a lot longer than you might be comfortable with, but it's still working.

[feral parrot]

My PC is brand new 😀 I’ll just let it load and go take a poo or something when I get home. Thanks y’all

[blissful stream]

anyone know what the building advantage to ashwood is?

[civic stirrup]

I think its just a different kind of wood

[frigid gust]

New appearance. I don't believe it adds any new features or performance.

[blissful stream]

damn. i was hoping for some water resistant flooring

[civic stirrup]

Also can recommend eating salsa while playing ashlands

[feral parrot]

You’ll want luxury vinyl plank.

[frigid gust]

Anything inside the shield bubble doesn't take rain damage 😉 So at least there's that.

[full hawk]

Anyone else annoyed at mobs spawn in Ashlands? Super ridiculous can’t even chop down a damn tree without 30 things coming to attack.

[blissful stream]

oh that's nice. i may do that

[chrome orbit]

The spawn rate decreases after the initial wave, also watch out for spawners nearby

[full hawk]

I’ve taken all the spawners out, but it’s nutso

[civic stirrup]

Yeah I clear an area on my way to somewhere, clear it on my way back then 10 minutes later I gotta do it all again XD

At least you get your training in kekles

[chrome orbit]

Yup, it's intense! Harvesting resources does seem to draw more aggro than just running around

[azure yacht]

Ballistas just pleasantly killing the fuling mini boss raid for me while I barely do anything

Ballistae ♥️

[merry sun]

Ballistas saved me from G'jall since i entered Mistlands

Attempt to build more against Fullings and Charreds

[honest prairie]

Does anybody know of a working HDValhiem mod that is not abandoned lol

[ornate sigil]

That is more a question for : https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[honest prairie]

Ah thanks. I didn't see that channel. It's waaaaaaaay far down there

[ornate sigil]

Yep it's like copper ore, waaay down.

[golden grove]

3 Morgens (1 one-star) after me. Guess I'll just die

[dusty girder]

any fast way to make a Ditch ?

[golden grove]

I'm in a tower rn. safe for now, but i don't see myself getting out of here lmao. still in mistland tank gear

I'd share a pic but I can't send images here

[dusk comet]

Morgan's don't have stars

[golden grove]

well I'm seeing one right now so...

[dusk comet]

At least according to the valheim.wiki

Could you send a screenshot

[golden grove]

apparently I can't send it in this channel

[dusk comet]

Can you send in the Valheim Screenshots channel

[golden grove]

oh it's down there lmao sorry

[blissful stream]

don't worry. you'll soon have a valk, 10 charred, 3 askvin and several vultures after you to put you out of your misery

[tiny tiger]

Yep deffo a one star morgen

#screenshots

[wicked parcel]

I was just playing on server. made a new profile to update mods and now i get "Unable to locate valheim dedicated server installation directory

[modern moon]

will the queen spawn more seekers if 2 are already alive

[pliant hatch]

She will continue spawning them for quite some time.
Better remove those, before you got overwhelmed.

[modern moon]

has anyone breached ashlands on very hard yet? whats it like/howd you do it

[dusty girder]

is there any better upgrades for the Hoe ? that can flatten bigger areas ?

[modern moon]

no

[full hawk]

We most definitely had a 1star Morgen in a Putrid Hole earlier

[old siren]

have any of you guys gotten the flaming sword?

[uncut mason]

Anyone else noticing some iron scrap metal surfacing from inside the Sunken Crypts to the surface in the swamps around the dungeon?

[old siren]

That happended to me around where we used to have the ashlands portal.

there was floating copper, muck piles, rocks.

[halcyon blade]

Pretty certain the internal dungeon layouts are actually very high in the sky, well above where a player would ever be able to reach. So if an item clips through the ground/walls/etc. in a dungeon it falls down and lands on the surface in the biome. Same can happen with tetra from frost caves, I found some randomly on a mountain when running around and found the cave they came from.

[uncut mason]

Appreciate the information. I wasn't sure if this was normal because it has never been the case before the Ashlands update.

[vocal rivet]

That's been the case since day one.

[dusk oxide]

Can anyone tell me if smashing a two handed hammer like Stagbreaker on the ground in he mountain can still discover silver?

[uncut mason]

Lol, well never in any private/solo game nor on any 24/7 dedicated server I have been has this happened.

[halcyon blade]

It is fairly uncommon/rare for things to clip through. I imagine it takes some very specific circumstances and factors to occur.

[uncut mason]

how would that come into play? Like an unique sound effect?

[dusk oxide]

In the past, you would see "too hard" or something appear.

I didnt know if that still occurred as the few mountains ive been exploring I havent encountered it.

[pliant hatch]

Still works.

[uncut mason]

ahh, that makes sense. Maybe, but I haven't tried that method. I use the wishbone for my silver finding methods.

[halcyon blade]

Pretty certain smiffe has stated the exploit was patched out.

[azure yacht]

@shy marlin

[azure yacht]

They do in putrid holes.

And ashlands wiki is still outdated

[vocal rivet]

If only somone had the ability to edit it.

[shy marlin]

I'm your guy I guess lol, easier on mage, harder on melee, if you're looking for advice, I'd say first go on mage and figure out what ashlands is like on mage, adjust to it and then if you want to go melee be ready for another learning curve and once you get over that it's smooth sailing.

Biggest thing i can yap about is awareness, if you can snipe things with an arbalest or bow and maintain the hoards that way, you'll be good.

[modern moon]

Ive already breached and have set up on my normal melee playthrough, but im doing a very hard playthrough where i plan to main mage once i unlock it, no shot am i doing literally everything 1 shots you mode as melee lmao

[shy marlin]

If you're playing on normal i'd 100% practice eliminating everything as fast as possible in prep for very hard. Getting rids of things asap and dpsing them down like nothing else is the key to success

[manic crow]

https://tenor.com/view/son-of-bitch-sob-im-gif-25272308

[modern moon]

based off of my melee experience, if i can just set up a safe (ish) outpost i think i can slowly pick things off and set up campfires for a safe starting zone, im more so worried if mobs will be able to destroy my boat giga fast on very hard before i set up a portal on the rocks

[vocal rivet]

That's a weird response to the question.

[shy marlin]

I didn't have an issue with mobs destroying my boat/creating a settlement. if you can beach at a place with one of those large outposts/citadels with lots of vineberries in them, do it. I've done multiple ashlands playthroughs and those are 100% the spots to look for, if you beach at any old location you're asking for an insane welcoming committee

[azure yacht]

Definitely...

Someone should definitely do it...

Anyway, I'm sure some uncalled hero will edit it

[vocal rivet]

I dunno, I've never even seen one.

[idle stone]

Can I get a yes or no. I'm trying to avoid spoilers for Ashlands and I just need to know if I'm wasting my time.

Did Ashland get a new Fist/Unarmed Weapon?

[vocal rivet]

Fine... https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Morgen

[shy marlin]

No

[indigo mulch]

best weapon to use vs yagluth? is it the procupine/blackmetal sword or do i use frostner/silver sword instead?

[azure yacht]

Silver sword > frostner > black metal sword

[sharp raptor]

Morgens absolutely have stars. I speak from having fought one

I would not recommend engaging one without bonemass

[native plover]

is anyone playing ashlands on hard?

[dusk comet]

Is there a 2 star

[native plover]

because this really isnt possible... im not sure how im reasonably expected to manage 2 star charred warriors, voltures, morgen, lava blob, and marksmen all at once....

[shy marlin]

What's your setup/build?

[native plover]

right now im doing mage build, 2 pieces of embla and eitr weave robe. i have my frost staff, staff of fracturing, and protection and will try to get my 3 skeles up with a shield. but honestly, the mob density is so high it doesnt really matter and is just a matter of time before something hits me

[vernal mauve]

is there any setting to fix the incredibly poor performance in the ashlands?

[shy marlin]

What's your food situation looking like? Also what cape are you using

[native plover]

using the feather cape atm, though i just made the asksvin cloak. should i be using that? i have a salad stuffed mushroom and seeker aspic for food. havent really been able to forage too much in the ashlands.

[shy marlin]

Hmm. Asksvin cape is very good on mages. Do you know about bubble gliding/jumping?

[native plover]

no, whats that? ill go put the cape on and try it out. it really just seems so dependent on if i get a bunch of mobs spawning at once or not

[shy marlin]

It's easier to just show ya give me a min

[native plover]

so just a jump cast? this to prevent you from getting rekt while casting it ?

[shy marlin]

But from what I'm hearing you're struggling to kill things fast. I'd recommend strengthing your Ashlands abilities on normal before going to hard. One thing on mages is I'd def pair up with the atgeir, and go from atgeir stagger with special into frost staff dps.

Ye when you're bubble pops always use stamina as a defensive resource and get away from the situation

[native plover]

thats what ive been doing but with mob density its tough

[shy marlin]

If you're not already, i'd also bring minor eitr meads/lingering eitr when you can and lingering stamina meads

I'd also add a crossbow/bow and start sniping things to lower the hoard number

If you can proactively get rid of say 2 archers before approaching a group it makes the encounter that much easier

[tepid prawn]

I managed to full on mage with skeletons and bubble and used mostly staff of the wild for dps

[native plover]

yeah have the arbalest going... it honestly doesnt seem to matter theres so much stuff. like im not kidding i step out of my base and there are 2 lava blobs, a morgen, 2 star warrior, 2 marksmen, volture, and 1 star and normal twitcher

like, thats just an insane amount of mobs that will all 1-2 hit you

[shy marlin]

🤷‍♂️ I dunno what to say, I went deathless blind on very hard. The only thing I can really say is go on normal, get to a point where you can absolutely curb stomp normal, and then give hard another shot.

[native plover]

yeah normal is pretty easy but maybe itll be better for ashlands

[shy marlin]

Your strategies and theory are good, it just seems the execution/awareness isn't quite there yet (and I say that with all of the love in the world, no flame)

[native plover]

im baiting the lava blobs to detonate on the other mobs but theres like not much in the way of dropping that much hp before i run out of something

[shy marlin]

Ashlands is certainly a different Valheim experience, so while normal meadows-mistlands may be easier for you, ashlands can be completely different.

Ye lava blob exploding is very good too

[native plover]

yeah that much is obvious

alright, well ill turn it down to normal for a little so i dont die as soon as i step out of my portal

will give bubble gliding a shot

[shy marlin]

If you want to be really cozy with bubble gliding run feather cape. Once you get more familiar with the process and the awareness part of ashlands i'd swap over to asksvin cape

[native plover]

think i nailed it, not too bad

oh yeah, so much easier on normal 😭

[sharp raptor]

I do not believe there are 2 star morgens or askvins yet. I want there to be a 2 star askvin so I can tame it.

[forest willow]

there are 2 stars i fought them few times

[sharp raptor]

Of both?

[forest willow]

indeed

[sharp raptor]

I have an army of star askvins but now I need to make that army 2 stars

[forest willow]

yea they are some what rare to find but should go pretty fast to find one, go at night 😛

[tepid prawn]

2 star askvin only at night

like wolves

[sharp raptor]

I caught my 1 star at night. Probably need to go to a hotter ashlands

[tepid prawn]

I found a million 1 star ones ^^ quite common

[fringe coyote]

Ashlands out?

[stray lily]

Having trouble finding a Howling Cavern. I've visited two markers and found nothing. I'm getting very frustrated. Plz help

[native plover]

find hildir and read her map

[surreal furnace]

What do you think the best Ashlands gem and weapon combos are?

[shy marlin]

Lighting infusions seem to be the best, nature has a niche, blood is just useless lol

[stray lily]

We have our main base built around Hildir. I'm at the marked ? location and can't find anything. The other marker had normal frost caves

[forest willow]

"trolstav" and "staff of wild" hands down easy

[stray lily]

Is the marker directly at the entrance, or...?

[surreal furnace]

Dang blood is useless? That's disappointing I thought it looked the coolest

[shy marlin]

It's a cool idea but lightning just kinda outclasses it, and you have to do pretty obscure scenarios/setup for blood to be better than lightning

And while running 3x hp food (set up for blood to be more effective than lightning) you have to lose so much stamina it's hardly worth it, especially on the harder difficulties. Currently theorycrafting a blood infusion/mage build but it's still not lookin too hot.

[stray lily]

I've spent hours just trying to find this thing.

[dusk comet]

Could anyone provide a picture in the screenshot channel of a 2star Morgen?

[surreal furnace]

Do you think like Nidhogg with Lightning is better than Mistwalker?

[shy marlin]

Idk i don't really engage with swords that much anymore, someone else would be better fit to answer that question, i'm more of an atgeir/bow/2h axes guy

I'd imagine they're actually pretty similar because of the slow effect of frost on mistwalker though

Would also depend on the enemy too, say like fighting a morgen you'd obv want the lightning nidhogg because morgens are weak to lightning.

[surreal furnace]

dang wait the lightning nidhogg loses its crossguard.. i think that looks terrible D; the blood one is so cool looking

[idle storm]

Lightning nidhogg does more damage and the lightning proc chains for some AoE dps, but Mistwalkers frost damage makes killing a little safer. Which one you go for is mostly a matter of taste.

Also l4 Mistwalker has MUCH higher durability

[rancid badger]

Question for everyone, we have a server but we started it with effectively double mod health,increased damage and spawn and double the loot. It’s fine we’ve all been managing but for anyone that’s played hard mode is there something I can focus on to not be worked by everything?

[native plover]

how far are you? i managed until i got to ashlands and was overwhelmed. you really just have to make sure you're prepared and manage your stamina/resources well. id also recommend taking time to grind skill levels up a bit. helps more than youd think

[rancid badger]

Currently chugging through the swamp

[shy marlin]

One thing I could say is learn how powerful WASD is, and how effective it is at avoiding damage. A simple s key can save you from 60 damage. Also learn how effective short bursts of stamina can be in situations. Learning how to use stamina as a defensive resource is a great tool to have in your arsenal.

[rancid badger]

Thanks man, yeah i never played Valheim like dark souls but i suppose i can try 😂

[shy marlin]

[drowsy sorrel]

if i break the cartography table, will it lose the data from other people? Or is it saved

break and replace somewhere else*

[native plover]

yeah, my strat is walking then rolling or sprinting as they enemy procs their attack

i got pretty good at dodges, very useful

[tepid prawn]

dodge roll is super useful especially on harder difficulties and light armour and lower hp (to block or parry you need to be above certain values) , dodging always works if done correctly

[native plover]

yeah i find not getting touched by any attack is the best strat for hard. one stagger and you're usually done

[hasty mulch]

I've had a lot of difficulty with lava. The way it just instantly kills you if you step on a patch of slightly-redder ground, it feels really unfair and unrewarding from a gameplay standpoint.

You're just dead. And if you lose your body in the lava it's very difficult to get back, especially if there's respawns.

Can't react to it, can't mitigate it, you're just gone

I don't like the idea of using askvin to cross them either - if you die on the other side, you're just kinda boned. If you have no way to make another saddle, and no way to get flametal, your game is kinda just over

It's a little frustrating, and not rewarding. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the expansion so far, but it has some frustrating elements that feel deeply unfair.

[surreal furnace]

Yeah I get that. I really like using the basalt bombs to cross it. I think it's unique and fun. I do however think having the lava shoot up and target you mid air, is a bit excessive as if it's not difficult enough.

[hasty mulch]

The basalt platforms are frustrating, too. I expected it would just freeze the lava surface, but these bobbing-up-and-down platforms are super slippy and difficult to jump onto.

[teal tiger]

I'm trying to build my first little stone house & I can't decide if a stone cube would look worse or if having a wood roof would.

[hasty mulch]

The jump aspect of it, especially on servers with the slightest bit of lag - pow, death.

I lvoe the lavaithan idea, but the platforms are SUPER janky

[fair charm]

Man I just tacked into the wind twice and had it swing to be directly in my face

[white cape]

Wow, I haven't even managed to move more than a few metres since landing here and mobs just come wave after wave after wave..

[fair charm]

Ashlands?

[potent adder]

what r u aware of the differences between the current release version of the Fader and the original PTB version?

[white cape]

Yeah Ashlands

[potent adder]

me too

[fair charm]

There's these glowing red runestone looking things with balls around them, they're enemy spawners, you can take them out from long range

[rain flare]

None - he hasn’t been changed much

[white cape]

Yeah I've taken out 2, and there's no more around but the number of mobs is crazy lol

[potent adder]

The first time we entered the Ashlands, the portal was destroyed, and we had to make a new ship to get there.

endless mobs, and too many of them

[fair charm]

Once you've established a beachhead and gotten used to the attack patterns of the mobs it gets a lot more manageable

Still dangerous though if only because of the insane damage numbers some of those mobs have

[potent adder]

the shape of the fire ring was changed, but I'm not sure what else has changed

[shy marlin]

I haven’t noticed any ring of fire changes

Shape of the fire is determined by your movement

[potent adder]

nop

[shy marlin]

You sure? Gonna have to test that out tomorrow then..

[potent adder]

the first PTB version is "の". the current version is "C"

[shy marlin]

Nah I’ve never observed either of those shapes

Well the c yes but no to the first one (c was in ptb btw too)

Think your testing has multiple variables in it ngl

[potent adder]

there r 2 shape in btw

[rain flare]

Ashlands mob count is high - just don’t go out at night
The mobs spawns are relatively more manageable if you keep things to daytime spawns only.

Even then you have to be careful cause the mobs like to spawn in droves when you first visit an area

[potent adder]

but only "C" left in release version

[rain flare]

What is this attack of which we speak?

[shy marlin]

Nah man I don’t think that’s correct at all

I think you just have multiple variables in your testing, because before I killed 5 simultaneous faders on very hard I tested each individual mechanic and learned how they worked exactly and never once did I see the shape you described.

But I’ll test some more tomorrow.

[potent adder]

When did you play PTB? According to the patch logs, the Fader was only changed in the second PTB update.

[rain flare]

I know he has a meteor attack, spikes, fire breath, tail swipe, paw swipe, and that circle thing he uses to try and entrap you.

But from what I’ve seen in my test fight it was just that - a ⭕️

And obviously that summon attack but I’m not counting that 😂

[shy marlin]

If you move while he does the enclosing flame he’ll adjust the flame to try and still enclose you, but if you move enough the flame won’t have enough duration to enclose you. It’s actually smarter to just lay still and cover as little area in flame while he’s doing that attack and then just jump over the circle.

But yea imma test tomorrow you got me curious lol

[potent adder]

if you look closely, the ring has a gap in it.

[drowsy sorrel]

is there a structure that lets out smoke but doesnt let in rain?

[rain flare]

I never stayed in that ring long enough to find a hole in it 😂
Just jumped over the edge

I’ll take a look for it next time I give him a spanking 😉

[potent adder]

r u aware of any other change?

[shy marlin]

Well he still doesn’t attack summoned trolls 😬

[tepid prawn]

I do roof tiles and poles at the corner to hold them up so there is more of a gap between the roof and the structure. need lots of venting space especially if you're venting a hot tub and a hearth from the same chimney (there is no 2x2 or 1x1 tile that lets smoke through but not rain except for roofs, and just roof tiles without additiona chimney gap underneath might not be enough in a lot of cases)

also if you enclose the side of the roof it will not led smoke out, needs a gap somewhere

[drowsy sorrel]

thats what i had for a while, i took off the roof so the smoke would flow out nicer but totaly forgot that rain could put out the fire i had directly bellow

ig ill just setlle for functionality over looks

[tepid prawn]

you can get quite creative with chimneys though, I did a great one for my hearth and hot tub combo vent

[potent adder]

I tested it. if the player stands still, the fire forms a "O". The trace is based on your movement, so the final shape turns out differently.

[tepid prawn]

also if your space is big enough and high enough it will disperse smoke without a chimney fully closed, but has to be quite big for that

[drowsy sorrel]

alr good to know when i make the hearth

[tepid prawn]

chimneys are also good to break up the boxy look some people accidentally build ^^

[drowsy sorrel]

always

[shy marlin]

Ah so exactly what I was saying 💀

[potent adder]

It draws a 360 degree arc centered around the player. If you move, the shape of the arc won't be a circle.

[white cape]

Is the new Grausten stuff more durable to attacks from Ashlands mobs than Black Marble?

[hollow crag]

I wonder if its possible to use the harpoon launch to fly over to ashlands

[shy marlin]

Yes exactly 💀

[finite lodge]

do draugr just respawn infinitely inside the dungeons?

[grizzled holly]

will some valheim mods work even if not updated to ashlands? I am on the thunder mod store in the ashland updated mod section, and there are mods there that got last updated a couple months ago...

[shy marlin]

Better to ask in #mods-discussion

[near furnace]

yes. until you kill the pile on the floor

[flat zealot]

is it safe enough to start building base at the border of plains while in mountain gear? I want to start building it earlier than after killing Moder so I can just add stuff later

[maiden haven]

Someone sponsor me a valheim game .I like to play it but I don't have cash.😔

[opal prairie]

Those spawners (body pile) can be found in the sunken crypts and in the swamps.
Good for some sausage farming and weapons training.
There are also greydwarf spawners in the black forest and skeleton spawners in the burial chambers.

[maiden haven]

Anyone is willing to play valheim with me

[rain flare]

Interesting 🤩

[rain flare]

[plush umbra]

can you dual wield axes?

[near furnace]

in ashlands. there is a dual axe weapon

[plush umbra]

i see

[near furnace]

your not dual wielding 2 one handed axes

if that makes sence 😄

[plush umbra]

yeah thanks

[west pulsar]

This is like an evolved rickroll

[hollow peak]

my gear is in the middle of a lava river. How can i get my stuff back??
#valheim-help message

[fair charm]

Progression thoughts

1. Eikthyr
2. Copper pickaxe
3. Iron (chair)
4. Lox cape (Via growths)
5. Silver

[opal prairie]

is that good?

[silk flower]

does the greydwarf shaman turns now while it shoots its poison attack and is almost impossible to dodge?

if i remember correctly, it wasn't like that, was it?

[restive silo]

my playthrough is currently in this state - the next step I'm trying is to get black marble, yggdrasil wood, cores, but that feels like a bit of a step up in difficulty

also I skipped the bronze pickaxe and went straight to iron

and did wolf cape instead of lox

[dapper token]

yggdrasil wood???? damn i did not know you could get wood from the great tree itself

[restive silo]

it's in ||Mistlands||

[dapper token]

oh ya i thought so

[restive silo]

you need a ||blackmetal axe|| to harvest it ordinarily, but supposedly you can use enemies that will one shot you as a creative/advanced harvest technique

[dapper token]

ah i see, im really excited to get into ||mistlands||, hopefully its not too bad there as a lot of people say

[opal prairie]

You can indeed use an enemy to break the trees, just like you can use trolls to mine copper, tin and finewood for you before you are able to.
You can also cut down a tree nearby and bump it into the one you want to cut down, might need multiple trees and lots of time but it is doable.

[restive silo]

yes, but problem is staying alive...

this is the equipment I have -> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1202267437647527977/1242369622657863731/20240521014338_1.jpg?ex=664d9660&is=664c44e0&hm=f038fa1429bc5c8b9e99e660631e40badff442874cf6f7755f32e502f10c59c4&=&format=webp&width=2413&height=1357

so.. no room for error

[opal prairie]

Dodge rolling for the win and having a bed or portal nearby.

[restive silo]

I have to admit that I never learned to roll, maybe I should

[opal prairie]

Dodge rolling and parrying are lifesavers.

[mystic gale]

We've been playing on a 24/7 server with 10 vikings since friday and its been a blast with that many ppl even though ive played through this game a few times before

[fair charm]

I'm considering skipping silver to be honest

[west pulsar]

Silver is weird feels like a filler

like dlc iron

[fair charm]

And lox cape is great because it's just as good as a wolf cape but you get it for free when a lox walks into some growths assuming you can dodge them and get them fighting

[restive silo]

I mean, how would you get the cape without the silver?

[mystic gale]

Mountain is best tier/biome imo but its the plains that kinda breaks it because you can just go to plains

[fair charm]

It's like 2 lox hide for a frost resist cape at workbench level 2

[restive silo]

6 lox hide

[fair charm]

Oh

Oh I was looking at the upgrade cost, and it does need silver damn

[restive silo]

also Draugr fang

[fair charm]

Considering skipping and going straight to arbalest

[tiny tiger]

See I disagree completely because for me iron was the filler. I did not acquire anywhere near as much iron and frankly I skipped the iron tier of armor and just used troll armor and iron mace against bonemass

[fair charm]

So it's
Eikthyr (Done)
Copper Pickaxe (Done)
Iron (Done)
Black Forge?

[tiny tiger]

But every playthrough will be unique

[tiny tiger]

Black forge is mistlands you will need a black metal pickaxe

[fair charm]

What for though?

[tiny tiger]

Black marble

[restive silo]

technically no, but would be easier with

[fair charm]

Seeker soldier to break the heads

[tiny tiger]

You can get black marble before black metal??

[fair charm]

Seeker soldiers break black marble structures

[restive silo]

yes, using seekers to mine

[fair charm]

Yggdrasil wood I think the same?

[tiny tiger]

Damn

[restive silo]

so I'm about to try this, but I think if you get hit once, you'll get one shotted

[fair charm]

Yes

But that's okay because I won't have any stats because it'll be so early, the idea here is to minimise time investment to maxing

[tiny tiger]

Black metal tier is so funky lol with how the axe and pickaxe are split across two biomes

[fair charm]

I think I want the plains for needles

[restive silo]

I am wondering if I should get the Fenris leggings before having a go

[tiny tiger]

All the mobility will help

[fair charm]

Fenris armour big farming

[restive silo]

yeah, I'm not going to get the whole set, just like, 1 piece

[fair charm]

Still need to go to the mountains

[west pulsar]

Ah well im kinda bad at the game so jsjsjjsjs

[restive silo]

I got some silver already, but I probably need to go back to the mountains for onion

[fair charm]

Ohj damn yeah need the onions

[restive silo]

the biggest annoyance is that without Moder, I don't think I do salad even though I can get all the components for it

[fair charm]

I forgot to bring any arrows so I'm currently hunting deathsquitos with trollhide armour and a flint spear

[merry sun]

Silver sword is the best weapon to use against yagluth at plains tier, Frostner is Very Fun, and we need silver for Himmin Afl

[fair charm]

Well, I can confirm that I will instantly die to the skeeters

[restive silo]

root chest piece will fix that

[fair charm]

Haven't seen an abomination yet

[restive silo]

I found a fuling berserker to be a great way to fight an abomination

[fair charm]

That would require an abomination to spawn

[restive silo]

just hang around in swamp a lot at night and collect the chains too

[tiny tiger]

With his troll armor and flint spear??

although he’s in plains with that so I’m sure he’ll handle it just fine but man that’s impressive

[fair charm]

Well, I died in the plains so it's not that impressive

[west pulsar]

The balls is impressive

[tiny tiger]

Most people wouldn’t even try it yet alone fail or succeed, the more you try it the better you’ll get at it

[restive silo]

why not?

see my screenshot from earlier with a flint spear

[tiny tiger]

In #screenshots ?

[restive silo]

that's level 1 troll hood, troll leggings, level 1 root chest piece, level 1 wolf cape, level 1 flint spear and level 4 finewood bow

[tiny tiger]

You absolute masochist

Can the seeker soldiers destroy the armor and swords for iron and copper scraps?

[fair charm]

Yes

[merry sun]

i think the armor and swords pieces do not fall when floating

[restive silo]

I think it'd be a massive pain to sail back with iron and copper scrap though

[restive silo]

no, they don't

[tiny tiger]

Prioritise iron and getting a longship if you haven’t already

[pliant hatch]

They do.
Works similar as the copper and silver veins.

[tiny tiger]

it’s only what 10 iron for longship ?

[restive silo]

really? have I gotten really unlucky?

[pliant hatch]

Could be.
I've been <poof>ing them quite often.

[restive silo]

I don't know whether I'm going to manage, but I really want to bring an arbalest to the fight when my group is ready to fight the elder.

[tiny tiger]

Lowkey flex

[restive silo]

I think I will die a lot trying to do it though

[merry sun]

i mined some for Building like 3 or 4 and they dont poofed

[tiny tiger]

Something must have been attached still

I had that happen but did manage to poof a sword but not the armor piece

[fair charm]

They've got janky as hell hitboxes

[pliant hatch]

Armor can be more complicated because it's larger.
But it's still possible if you're able to do a jump-hit.

[tiny tiger]

Okay so the console doesn’t want to appear

Is it because I’m in full screen?

I’m trying to get creative mode to test out build pieces but f5 does nothing pop up the console

I’ve been pressing f6 this entire time 🤦‍♂️

[flat zealot]

traveled quarter of the map just to ALMOST meet my demise, lovely

[tiny tiger]

Oh man I see what people mean about grausten

Nothing is lining up

[plush umbra]

grausten is good for when you need a secret research bunker in the mountains

[last vale]

man, the magic weps for ashlands are so underpowered

[hot flint]

I had a thought earlier

If i place house items in the structures within the black forest biome will it prevent the masses of greydwarfs from spawning?

A bunch tend to spawn in abandoned outposts and such

I would assume so. Guess i have nothing to lose trying

[opal prairie]

Certain items prevent spawns for a certain radius.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[paper marsh]

other than thunder axes and blood crossbow and some staves, yea

[rain flare]

I’m not so sure about the staves

Most of the en are good now - if a lota bugged

[merry sun]

I just noticed Haldor is a redbeard dvergr so he is probably from ashlands, and Hildir is a white-haired dvergr so she is probably from mistlands

[rain flare]

Uuuuuuhm, they are brother and sister

[merry sun]

seriously?

[rain flare]

And isn’t haldor’s hair white?

[merry sun]

No, he is a redbeard

[rain flare]

Yeah.

Fun fact, if you hang around the dverger in the mistlands long enough, they might even ask about Haldor

[rain flare]

That is new 👀👀👀

Dev’s be deving again

Anyone remember when Haldor was an omega grumpy midget???

Glad he’s nicer now

[merry sun]

Haldor is a Merchant he probably travelled a lot trough the world, isnt impressive that he is known by others dvergrs

[rain flare]

It is for world building

[merry sun]

I missed switching "is" to "got"

he always was red haired

[last vale]

i just wish the funny boom boom shotgun staff was atleast a little tighter spread or just more damage overall

[rain flare]

Cause the dialogue kinda implies they haven’t seen him in a while

[merry sun]

Idk what are you talking about

[smoky quarry]

ashland mobs have lots of HP so people keep saying the weaps are meh

[merry sun]

How many Elemental Magic do you got my boy?

[last vale]

my ele is 79 rn

[merry sun]

I got like 20 and they almost one shot Twitchers

[last vale]

idk maybe im just not close enough ig

i was using it for fader and the first time I croaked lol

[merry sun]

Dundr is almost a melee weapon

[last vale]

pretty much ive noticed lol

i just stuck with the green cube and lightning axes and it got the job done

[merry sun]

you can only stay like 1 meter away from enemies to get the Full damage

[rain flare]

What version of the game are you even playing on dude? 😂
He is so much nicer now

He used to be so pessimistic basically saying we should go die nearby so he can get our stuff

He hasn’t acted like that since the mistlands update

[merry sun]

He is red haired since 3 years ago

i wasnt talking about his humor tho

But you said a nice thing, i should visit Haldor now, the last thing i Heard from him was a pessimistic thing like your example

[paper marsh]

Depends on the enemy. I find it gets okay range against big enemies, but it's tough against small enemies like charred

[merry sun]

lol

[west pulsar]

Does still apply but not the valheim chat

[rain flare]

And would you know if he has a red beard 👀 (I just checked on the wiki)
How have I not noticed this???

I know I’m colourblind but what the heck???

[modern moon]

does armor and resistances mitigate damage your blood shield takes?

[merry sun]

Idk why but some footages got White hair Haldor

[trim flame]

yeah I hate dundr, hate how slow blood magic is to level as well. I like the new fire staff and the staff of the wild but that's about it for the ashlands

[merry sun]

Really good question that i wish i knew the answer

[trim flame]

I feel like the armor needed more regen or cost reduction on weapon enhancement or something

[idle storm]

staff of protection bubble is unaffected by defense, resistances or weaknesses.

it's just a raw hp buffer with an overflow gate

[merry sun]

@modern moon your answer

[paper marsh]

No. And just as importantly, it does take chop and pick damage (damage used for cutting trees and rocks). Meaning if a big brute hits you, the shield will take regular damage + chop damage + pick damage meaning your shield will quickly get destroyed

[idle storm]

Unlike non-mages you can always take (and parry) at least one hit from anything though

less of a tank buff and more life insurance for glass cannon builds that dodge and avoid attacks anyway

[vernal mauve]

||is Dyrnwyn worth the struggles? the numbers seem very underwelming||

[paper marsh]

I dunno if a guaranteed parry is really life insurance. I see it more as an offensive strategy

You parry a big attack, your shield prob goes down. You don't parry the big attack, your shield prob goes down.

But using your shield to guaranteed parry like a 2 star morg or something and then lighting it up with dundr or thundr axes, that's good stuff

[paper marsh]

For combat no. For a cool decoration in your house, sure!

[vernal mauve]

let's hope it'll be a best weapon of choice for the hyperborea update then haha

[fair charm]

Okay, got a bow, got some arrows, surely I'm ready for mistlands now

[paper marsh]

pfft, a bow

[fair charm]

I mean I HAVE got other weapons

flint spear, stone axe, level 2 club

[vernal mauve]

this club is gonna do numbers

[fair charm]

Based on experience with the club in the meadows about 6-8

[vernal mauve]

but make sure to max upgrade it before you head to mistlands
