valheim-chat

[fair charm]

No

[vernal mauve]

oh

[fair charm]

I'm already sailing there in a karve

(I was going to do it in a raft but no I wasn't)

[paper marsh]

swim there with stamina and health potions

[fair charm]

Is that even possible?

[paper marsh]

ya

[fair charm]

It sounds painfully slow

[paper marsh]

You can drink potions while swimming, and you don't lose stamina or health when just idling in the water so you can wait for the cooldown to run out

[fair charm]

Well, that's certainly sounding slower than a raft

[paper marsh]

Likely so. Develop some good swim skill though!

[fair charm]

Is swim skil even good at 100 skill?

[smoky quarry]

you become a fish at 100

[paper marsh]

Not rly. I think it's -50% stamina use and that's it.

Which isn't terrible, but it doesn't really change swimming to be more useful

[fair charm]

Found a mistlands biome

one million deaths incoming

[turbid pollen]

Is the default difficulty "Normal" or something? Or is it not? I've never encountered so many starred enemies on my first playthrough.

[pure vine]

This discussion has not been sarcastic at all, I can confirm it.

[paper marsh]

Default difficulty is Normal

[pure vine]

Am I lazy if I have the teleport all items modifier on?

[opal prairie]

Not really, I for one would love to turn that on sometimes but my buddy refuses.
I don't have that much time to play the game so "wasting" it on transporting metal by boat sometimes feels wasted time because we could just teleport it.

[pure vine]

The amount of ore needed for fully upgraded gear is stupid

If the armor upgrade costs were cheaper I would do the grind the old way

[turbid pollen]

I even found my first two-starred deer today... What is happening on my second playthrough 😭

[opal prairie]

Depending on the gear, like chitin that is only 80 for the abyssal razor and 30 for the harpoon, so you need 110 chitin which is like 3 maybe 4 leviathans but then we get to iron and damn!

[pure vine]

I'm currently at silver tier but decided to use fenris armor because it lasts way longer than wolf armor

[turbid pollen]

I'm still bronze age too, on my previous playthrough I got to the plains while only encountering very few starred enemies, never encountered any two-starred ones. That save was 300+ days old with 140+ hours sinked in I think.

My current save is not even 30 days old yet 😭

[opal prairie]

In my opinion it is one of the best armors but it takes so long to gather all the materials.

[turbid pollen]

#screenshots message
I even found Haldor randomly while searching for chambers.

[opal prairie]

Found Haldor day 2 maybe 3, he is on an island next to out starting island we can easily get to by swimming over a tiny stream.

[paper marsh]

I got lucky on my current world finding Haldor on the first island I sailed to (and I sailed early) and then Hildr right next to him across a river

[rapid bison]

I remember a server that has Haldor base the edge of the world.

[pure vine]

What are the best silver tier weapons if the frostner is best

[turbid pollen]

lmao

[paper marsh]

Depends on the situation. But generally people really like Frostner yea, holds up well in later biomes. Pretty meh in Mountains though

[turbid pollen]

I don't know, I used Iron Mace all the way to the Plains until I got Blackmetal.

[paper marsh]

In mountains the best weapon is likely gonna be a fang spear or flesh rippers

[pure vine]

I like the spear cuz its cheap

[paper marsh]

Me too. Also great for the boss

[turbid pollen]

I hate the spear combat in this game.

[opal prairie]

Silver sword is also high up there.

[pure vine]

And draugr fang is nice

Can max level silver shield parry most of the things in plains

[fair charm]

Black marble acquired

[pure vine]

And which black metal weapon is the best

[turbid pollen]

Atgeir or Sword, even though I'm a mace player, I don't like the split damage type from the Porccupine.

[pure vine]

I dont like atgeir cuz the inability to wear a shield

[turbid pollen]

Plus, I think it's good to level up your mace early on to level 50 until Swamp or even Plains but when I get to Plains, I'd start levelling up my sword skill because of Mistlands and Ashlands.

[full apex]

i wonder why the wind always is going the wrong way in valhiem

[pure vine]

Its coded against players

[turbid pollen]

I think the direction of the wind depends on the current time in the world? Like in the morning the wind would be going South and North at dusk.

[pure vine]

What weapons for moder?

[turbid pollen]

I'm not sure though, feel free to quote me.

[opal prairie]

Best bow you can get and fire or obsidian arrows plus any weapon that hasn't got frost or spirit damage.

[pure vine]

So the spear works fine

[fair charm]

Uhhhhh

It should

[merry pebble]

but if you throw it you risk it getting lost 😉

[paper marsh]

Spear, Flesh rippers, and Draugr Fang will be the best damage (not considering whatever weapons you might have skill in)

[fair charm]

Is this your first run through?

[pure vine]

I have around level 20 in clubs, spears and swords, and 30 level bow

[pure vine]

Yes

[fair charm]

Have fun!

[pure vine]

I've watched a lot of old videos about the game

[fair charm]

Oh man I just got a pufferfish, I wonder if I can clear dungeons with this

[pure vine]

So i know whats coming in plains

[fair charm]

the skeeters

[pure vine]

Also i play on 1.5 resource rate

Cuz i dont have much time to play

[fair charm]

yeah that's fair

It's your game play it how you want to

[fair cairn]

1.5x is a great middle ground for making the grind less but still have plenty of exploring for resources left

[pure vine]

For some reason it feels like 2x rate

[fair cairn]

all of the items that you harvest like crops and items that you pick up will be x2 cause of rounding

[fair charm]

is anyone who is playing on increased resource rate in the ashlands right now?

If so I just wanna ask how are you enjoying the grausten

[solid crown]

1.5x feels great for some resources and overkill for others.

[fair charm]

whoops got greedy and died to a seeker

[flat zealot]

how strong are wolves? I was exploring plains close to the mountains and deathsquito did almost nothing to me while one wolf did twice as much dmg(I was being hunted but Im sure at this moment only one wolf attacked me)

[fair charm]

do you have the root harnesk?

Because that gives you resist pierce which cuts deathsquito damage in half but wolves do slash

however if it's a starred wolf yeah they hit like trucks kidna

[flat zealot]

no I actually forgot to take it so I was in wolf armor lvl 2

weird but oh well, now I have to run back and pray to not get killed the instant im in plains

[ruby ember]

can you get two regular wolves tamed and eventually breed a star wolf

[fair charm]

No

[merry pebble]

no, one has to be star

[ruby ember]

awwwww

awwww damnnnn

[fair charm]

Children inherit stars from parents at a 50% chance, a 2 star wolf and a no star wolf is 50% chance of no star pup 50% chance of 2 star pup

[ruby ember]

oh well, all i want is their pelts anyways

[fair charm]

Fish fall through the floors of dungeons

Right

Oh no they don't it just went in a weird spot

Pufferfish stronk

[plush umbra]

getting spawn camped by the valkyrie morgen combo

[slender rover]

I thought I hated gjalls the most of any mob, and then I met Valkyries. Which, to be fair, are mostly awful because of everything else that turns up while you fight them

[nocturne wolf]

All of their attacks have friendly fire, they're one of the best new weapons

[slender rover]

Assuming you don't run out of stamina trying to dodge the cluster of enemies, yeah. Otherwise 💀

[half dragon]

The only reason I do not like gjalls is that they're the sole reason gate keeping making large base in Mistlands, just not worth the risk... would have to have ballistas and maybe shields to block ranged attacks.

They're relatively easy to kill, but they can sneak around in mist even more easily...

[lyric tinsel]

first 5 hours in the ashlands and Im calling it quits there full stop.

[paper marsh]

Sadge

[frigid gust]

World modifiers exist. If it's not fun any more, tune it until it is?

[thin sonnet]

I feel you. It is a brutal biome

But i think it is intended hahaha

[lyric tinsel]

at least with the mistlands the building peices were strong enough is to protect form enemies but these new build peices dont even last 30 seconds with the enemies

[formal dirge]

Wondering if this is a bug or a feature. The ||trollstav|| won't let you ||summon more than two at once||, which makes sense. However, if anyone else tries to use a ||trollstav|| and there are two ||trolls|| nearby that ||someone else has summoned||, then it doesn't work. Does this seem intentional or not? The ||dead raiser|| doesn't work this way. I can still ||summon my own skeletons even if another player has some nearby||

[smoky quarry]

i just make outposts in mistlands. Base would be possible but it requires extra micro management

[frigid gust]

Marble goes through portals, you can build with it there 😉

[thin sonnet]

I would ofc say the raids are unbearable. 20+ charred and a morgen. I had that happen to me before obtaining any flametal

So i have an idea i could just build a major house close but outside of ashlands for safety haha

[woeful yacht]

I found an archipelago nearby that I'm planning to build out

[frigid gust]

Some people have had success taking over the fortresses since so much of them is indestructible

[half dragon]

building small isn't something I do. All I do is drop portals and that's it, with exception of mistland farm

[frigid gust]

That's a good question. I wish I had an answer 😉 But it does seem to be intentional at some level.

[thin sonnet]

I could use the crusher hammer from mistlands to reduce the population?

Like outside the gate

[frigid gust]

The Demolisher is quite useful in general. Other people have cheesed it by building up outside the walls, too, or casting a troll in the fortress.

[thin sonnet]

Yeah i forgot its name

[smoky quarry]

i make a stone tower with some support stuff around, gate protected. Usually place 2 balistae also

i prefer the clear areas of mistland and follow them, take each mist bubble at a time.

[dusty girder]

anyone got any experience with Scalacube and setting up a server`?

[frigid gust]

That'd probably get better discussion in #dedicated-server

[slender rover]

Find a steep-sided valley and spawn proof it.

I got lucky fairly early on with a mist-free Valley with high cliffs on three sides. Was able to spawn proof and gjalls won't fly over the high cliffs

[thin sonnet]

You feel like taking time before getting back into the biome? Like for me what im doing is starting fresh in a new world and try to get better prepared

[frigid gust]

I have a big open mist-free valley with a base built way up on top of a spire, and I love when Gjall come and visit me 😛

[smoky quarry]

nothing wrong with being over prepared for it

[slender rover]

I do feel like my combat skills are sorely under leveled going into ashlands, and the deaths there are making it worse. My ranged options are only around level 30.

[thin sonnet]

Also dont you technically have to raid one already to get materials for the trollstav? I forgot the recipe

[paper marsh]

yup

[half dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/ready-perfectly-overly-cautious-cautious-hero-ryuguin-seiya-seiya-gif-16080387

[frigid gust]

Good news is that most mobs in the Ashlands resist pierce, which is most ranged damage 😛

[thin sonnet]

Oh but you can at least take out the valk with it

[half dragon]

bows and xbows are no longer the majority of ranged options tho

[frigid gust]

The ice staff is not ranged. It is close quarters only 😛

[slender rover]

Sadly they are also only really vulnerable to spirit, which either means snuggling up close and personal or pelting them with arrows from spinesnap

And those thrice-damned Valkyries are obnoxious to hit in melee

[frigid gust]

Frost arrows from Spinesnap is a fair bit of unresisted damage, true

[thin sonnet]

The silver sword might then be solid for ashlands?

If you make it lvl 4

[slender rover]

Mistwalker is substantially better

[frigid gust]

I think the Mistwalker is strictly better, but the silver sword isn't terrible

[thin sonnet]

Yea i agree. It's a killer

I could perhaps test it

[plush umbra]

youre not supposed to build up from the sides?

[hallow canyon]

I didn't find the Demolisher very good in Ashlands. The Himminafl and the Mistwalker work much better for me

[frigid gust]

"supposed" is a very loose term. The general concept is that you send things over the wall with the catapult or bash down the gates with the battering ram.

But building is viable 😛

[plush umbra]

oh, thats what theyre for

[sleek slate]

any brutal slayer buffs coming?

[paper marsh]

Nothing they’ve mentioned. I wouldn’t expect specifically the brutal slayer to get buffed, but I could imagine blood weapons in general getting a lil buff

[vague halo]

Anyone have tips for windmill placement? Like do I need to make a really high platform or something

[frigid gust]

Just a bit away from any large structures/rocks/trees. I needs to catch wind to work.

[bleak flax]

You need open space and height. I put mine at the top of Mountains

[west pulsar]

The new weapons are SICK

[west pulsar]

Just open roof

[bleak flax]

I found some arches near a fort and justified launching myself from it into the fort all paratrooper like. Feather cape was good and bad cause fire DMG was a real hard hitter

[ember panther]

I love the axes

[warm sandal]

I usually have a base at the coastline, so i put it up a little like 4 - 6m and have it not being blocked by the house... works nicely for me... putting it up a mountain is tedious if you do not live there 😄

[bleak flax]

The faster the wind the faster the milling and the highest winds are in blizzard weather ...in the mountains

[warm sandal]

But then i am pretty patient i can wait for it to mill... after a while i got so much flour that I do not know what to do with it anyways, so no matter if it takes 2 days to mill 😄

[frigid gust]

While that's true, the winds in the Plains are more consistently high speed I believe. You get better burst processing in the Mountains, but the Plains are more consistent.

[plush umbra]

made a battering ram in the end but died inside, i dont think i'm getting back my stuff any time soon

[mossy lance]

why is the jump from Normal to Hard enemy difficulty so big? 50% multiplier means that Normal is too easy and Hard is extremely punishing and there's no in between...

[bleak flax]

It should be that way and makes sense for it to be that way but I advocate for mts because I'm not ALWAYS milling, I do in batches. Others might differ

[vague halo]

Okay cool I’ll build them there

[fossil salmon]

It's over, Anakin, I've got the high ground. Wait, this is Valheim where I can't hit you if you're just 8 inches above or below me. Nevermind.

[strange arrow]

claims high ground when they can both jump like 30 feet in the air

[vague halo]

Oh maybe I’ll do this? Is it really a huge deal?

[frigid gust]

Not at all. It's just where it's most convenient for you to access them. I like having them on my farm where I grow the barley, so I just place them away from any buildings or trees. If you want to portal the barley to the mountains it works perfectly fine as well.

[unique onyx]

hey guys i just started getting into ashlands and i noticed they're surrounded by like 500 feet of pillars in water. is that pretty normal for the approach or did my seed generate weird? it's an older playthrough but the land wasn't explored

[frigid gust]

The big spikes in the water around the Ashlands? Yeah, that's intended.

[strange arrow]

normal

[unique onyx]

oh weird there's ruins and stuff in the water too it looks really weird lol, alright

[manic crypt]

/*-

[hushed wharf]

is the big green light shooting up to the sky coming from a fortress? (in the Ashlands)

[manic crypt]

/8+6

[tardy belfry]

Yes

[void fulcrum]

Yep

[tardy belfry]

Anyone got tips on where to build a semi safe outpost for ashlands?

My servers current location is some cathedral(?) ruins we fortified. But that lasts as long as you don't get seen by a valkyrie.

Is it some variation of out by the water since that seems safest.

[tiny tiger]

From what I heard campfires are great as they have a 20m radius around them where mobs can’t spawn and mobs also don’t target them

So having a bunch of campfires around your base in a big radius gives you a nice safe zone

[lusty kettle]

do they have to burn, or can they have no fuel in em and still have that effect?

[tiny tiger]

Pretty sure they don’t need to burn

[lusty kettle]

alright

[slender rover]

Nowhere is safe, lol.

I have had some success by finding rock spires literally a jump away from shore to quickly get a portal up, but I have found making it permanent requires raised ground at least 8 m high or Morgen will ruin your day.

Just do not, under any circumstances, kill lava blobs next to the raised earth

[winter coyote]

whats yall fav weapon for clearing crypts

[slender rover]

Stagbreaker is great for swamp crypts, as is the iron sledgehammer

[vivid cedar]

Bronze Mace if you are heading into swamp first time

[winter coyote]

i am full silver, doing em for more iron

[frigid gust]

Sunken Crypts? Stagbreaker/Sledge is super powerful because it can hit through walls and such, but maces and shield is super useful.

[slender rover]

Frostner.

[frigid gust]

At full silver, Frostner would be my choice

[winter coyote]

alrighty

[vivid cedar]

you can take a silver loadout with frostner and toy with bonemass for fun 😉

[winter coyote]

just wanna run through em

[frigid gust]

Frostner, or the iron sledge/stagbreaker. Honestly, the root harnesk is a good safety as well since it resists piercing damage from the annoying archers.

[slender rover]

Basically the Valheim weapon matrix is thus:

If you have not yet refined eitr in your biome progression: use frostner.

If you have refined eitr: you can hang frostner on the wall and use other options.

Frostner is the hammer for which essentially everything pre-Mistlands is a nail. And even a number of Mistlands enemies

[normal vine]

fuck why doesnt it let me load in my previous save ive had before the update dropped

[winter coyote]

wrth upgrading?

[normal vine]

makes my game crash

[slender rover]

All the way to max

[frigid gust]

Wait for it. It takes a long time for the game update the old info, and it looks like it's not responding, but it's still working. Leave it for up to 5-10 minutes without touching the mouse or keyboard or anything after starting loading an existing world

[plush umbra]

i get it now, why there are complaints about too many enemies

[half dragon]

free xp

[fossil salmon]

if you don't die

[tardy belfry]

Have you tried the ruins in the waters? I had a ruin spawn in the water near shore that seemed good. But problem is that it sucks to build in there since you can't really slap floors down.

I was wondering if that actually might be better since only threat would be vultures and rouge bone serpent

[vapid patio]

hahah yeah. like... so many... i thought i was just unlucky

in mistlands i feel like you sometime have to search for enemies

[half dragon]

well you do have to, mist doesn't make it too easy to find stuff to kill

[sleek slate]

Where do the askvinds spawn?

[plush umbra]

get out of my ashlands spawn, building gets blown up by magma blob and i get overrun by 20 skeletons

[slender rover]

I did

Morgen will travel underwater

[sleek slate]

hahahahhahaha

[rain flare]

Don’t kite the morgen to your base 😂
Unless you have a charred fort base

Then lure everything to it 🤣

[slender rover]

No kiting involved, lol. Have you not experienced the "joy" of a random Morgen spawning outside your walls?

[rain flare]

I have. But my walls are spawn proofed so not often 🤣

[tardy belfry]

I rather fight the morgen over the askvin. Morgen is easy to parry but those damm lizard dogs

[plush umbra]

morgen valyrie attack while i was trying to tame an asksvin

[rain flare]

Morgen travel alone
Askvin travel in packs 😭

[slender rover]

I was still in setup phase and portalled back to my ashlands outpost one morning after a rest to find a Morgen climbing up the front of my spire to come visit my outpost.

It then destroyed half the spire.

It was after that that I ringed the entire area with a raised earth wall and spawn proofed it

Talk about unwelcome door to door salespeople

[tardy belfry]

Fr. Fighting 3 askvin. One is one star and surrounded by lava. Yeah just get out of there. You ain't killing them

[civic stirrup]

So I've got an ashlands question ||Can you grow fiddle heads or do you just have to find them?||

[slender rover]

Find them.

Dverger bases are great for this

[sleek slate]

I havent even found an askvin

[rain flare]

Only Ashland’s thing you can grow is the berries….

WHICH JUST MADE ME REALISE! 😡

People have been asking the dev’s for plantable berries since launch 🤣🤣🤣

[slender rover]

Ashlands so far has taught me two things new about Valheim

1. The high ground is not necessarily safer anymore.

2. Running the f*** away is a very important strategy

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/kyoshi-gif-25351466

[civic stirrup]

aww, good to know though

[slender rover]

After nearly 900 hours in this game I thought I had a good grasp on the gameplay loop but the Ashlands seems explicitly designed to humble us veterans

[tardy belfry]

Head inland towards the lava. Just watch out, they push you and they push far. The askvin ain't dangerous, it's the lava they push you into.

[smoky quarry]

sweet lava juice to boil in

[burnt rune]

I started on a new map and haven't even gotten past Eikthyr yet. I found out none of my friends really play anymore so taking my time to finish a single player game before I go into it. But I'll keep in mind running away is a good strategy 😆

[slender rover]

Honestly my advice for anyone just arriving in ashlands is to prioritize finding putrid holes and getting at least 2 molten cores.

Because once you can build a stone portal in your home base, you can one-way teleport metals from it to any other portal (but not in reverse).

Outposts become so much easier

[civic stirrup]

So another question, I just took my first castle, is there a good way to seal up the door? I wanna take it as my new base

[civic stirrup]

Wait they can connect to regular portals?

[slender rover]

YES

[civic stirrup]

Never thought to try

[slender rover]

Which I discovered entirely by accident

And the metal teleporting property is determined by the entry portal, not exit

[civic stirrup]

definitly good to know

[slender rover]

No more trekking across the world to realize you forgot to bring 2 iron for a stonecutter

[civic stirrup]

Eh my no portal run broke that out of me lol

[slender rover]

I tend to be an explorer/builder more than focusing on boss progression so a no portal run sounds like pure torture.

Like, I have mined down half a mountain range for stone at this point

[smoky quarry]

i got a mountain bald as well, stone:gone

[rain flare]

I died once - tried taking on a charred fortress without clearing all the mobs out first 🤣
The walk back was pretty humbling 😭

[smoky quarry]

shame

[hot flint]

Wish this update came with more map stuff

Drawing lines, more symbols perhaps

[smoky quarry]

i`d like to be able to draw, like in paint. Simple

[austere marten]

does someone already encounter a 2-star asksvin ? i need to tame one 🙂 saw a lot of 1-star but no 2-star even at night

[civic stirrup]

At this point I just cheat stone in, same with black marble
I turn all that off when progressing but if I'm just building just to build

[slender rover]

1. 1* charred warrior
2. 1* charred warrior
3. Morgen
4. Morgen and charred warrior
5. Morgen
6. Valkyrie

[void fulcrum]

I met a 4-star one and let me tell you, that thing could run!

[civic stirrup]

The no portal run was actually rather nice though, alot more laid back especially since it was no map too

[austere marten]

4-star monsters doesnt exists outside of mods 🙂

[rain flare]

Ai ai ai ai ai! 🤣

[slender rover]

My nod to masochism is this is a pure world/playthrough. No devcommands, fully vanilla original world settings.

[void fulcrum]

and? That thing could run all the same

[hot flint]

The problem with immersive is finding the bosses. They need to make a better system

[slender rover]

As you can see from the death count, the skill points have taken a bit of a beating.

[hot flint]

Maybe show a ping to the boss from the position you've activated the rune

[austere marten]

i'm wondering if 2-stars asksvin exists to tame it, i dont care of mods creating 10-stars monsters 🙂 i want to legit tame one

[rain flare]

My levels! My PRECIOUS levels!!! 😭😭😭

[tiny tiger]

The boss runes in frost caves suck the most in immersive

[rain flare]

RIP 400 hours of skill grinding 😅

[rain flare]

If you’re brave enough to be out at night

[slender rover]

Normally I haven't cared much but the hit to combat effectiveness of bows in particular is quite infuriating

[civic stirrup]

I ussually like to turn the raid rate and difficulty up

[austere marten]

yeah ... my main world is 1880+ days and my main char has a lot of skill up to 100 🙂 ashlands ruined it 🤣

[rain flare]

My problem is the jump height and run speed boost

[smoky quarry]

Only running is going up, the rest down

[rain flare]

Suddenly I can’t quite make that gap.
The Askvin catch-up to me

And I died.
Again 😭

[frigid gust]

Feather cape gives you a jump boost at least...

[slender rover]

I have started wearing Fenris armor again, with feather cape and a single eitr food so I can bubble

And then I just run

[smoky quarry]

Skol

[austere marten]

ok i guess im just unlucky, even at night, i only saw 1-star asksvin, no 2-star for now 😦

[rain flare]

I haven’t seen one either

They seem quite rare.

[half dragon]

is it a fast mount, btw?

[rain flare]

That depends entirely upon your riding skills

[frigid gust]

Only thing I have heard is you can ride it on the lava

[rain flare]

But if you’ve levelled them up decently they are SUPER quick! 🤩
It’s like riding on a slightly slower wolf

[austere marten]

i want one so badly, 2-stars asksvin are blue !!! they looks so cool 🙂

[half dragon]

skill which for vast majority of players is almost certainly 0 or close to it

[rain flare]

I will find one, tame it, then name it “Bubbles” 🤩🥰🥳

[slender rover]

Mine is probably zero now. I was up to 10 before

[rain flare]

You’ve seen how fast those things are when they are galloping after you no? 😂😅

[austere marten]

i looked at the valheim wiki to be sure they exists, and it seems that yes, but havent found one ... 😦 i'll continue my hunt

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/looney-tunes-yeti-love-hug-smother-gif-21930098

[rain flare]

Now imagine RIDING it! 🤩

[rain flare]

Good luck!

[half dragon]

what? running away? No way I'd do that no... how do you think I earn level 80 running, by running away? No sir!

[compact summit]

frens i am distressed: the music changed 😬 ☠️ now it instantly pops from one tune to the next, constantly restarting if you move in and out of comfort areas or those with themes... starting over and over at the beginning instead of fading out and now it almost constantly plays unless/until you complete a song then there's a gap but wow.... can i get the old way back??

[rain flare]

I haven’t noticed that actually 👀

That sounds horrible!
No pun intended 🙈

[compact summit]

i noticed instantly, but was hoping it would get better 😦

[vapid patio]

what is the best gear/get up for going into ashlands? i feel like i might do it wrong haha

[half dragon]

level 3 mistland gear. it should be doable with your preferred weapon, but some are going to be much harder than others...

[wraith sun]

is it just me or does the swamp get way more calm and friendly once you make a road through it? it's almost like a 80 or 90% reduction in hostile enemy spawning

[ivory ore]

So what we got after ashlands

[fossil salmon]

Deep North?

[ivory ore]

Good to know

[ivory ore]

Ngl, today is the first day I heard about deep north. Only other biome I knew was supposed to get an update was the ocean

[smoky quarry]

i have a whole system of roads & outposts in a large swamp. Its very safe

[half dragon]

imo, it's more of a "I've been in this location for a little while" rather than the road itself

[fossil salmon]

I was sailing far far away and suddenly got the prompt for Deep North.

[mint shadow]

i hope the ocean gets updated before the deep north

[half dragon]

to me it seems like swamp starts with a lot of enemies, but repopulates rather slowly

[wraith sun]

it just feels like you are constantly swarmed by enemies in the swamp if you are trying to traverse it normally

[ivory ore]

Idk cuz I repaired one of those draugr villages at the swamp before and still was constantly under attack

[wraith sun]

but if you have a road then the enemies suddently seem to be very absent

[smoky quarry]

jumping in the water makes lots of noise

[flat zealot]

I docked near plains just to be greeted by five fullings, I sometimes feel that this game gives me more stress than relax

[smoky quarry]

you relax in the base, stress outside

[ivory ore]

May have to try to find it myself. It’s kinda cool how they’ll have an early version of biomes so you know it’s there

[half dragon]

Relaxing in the base:
You invited?

[slender rover]

I carry 150 stone and a workbench wherever I go because at least that usually gives me a little space from the hordes of awful

[smoky quarry]

Balistae: challenge accepted!

[half dragon]

ashland kinda gives the dying light or one of those zombie game vibes, enemies everywhere and very little space for relaxing

[smoky quarry]

onje gets to relax a lot in Ashland when dead, which is a frequent event

[wraith sun]

xD

time to go there in fenris armor then - should amplify the effect 😄

[slender rover]

Honestly I am dying less in fenris because I know to just RUN

[merry sun]

Fenris + Ask Cape is just other game

[idle storm]

This. Ashlands enemies hit hard but they're much easier to just dodge

[slender rover]

Also the Mistwalker wielded by a player in fenris armor with a bubble shield looks badass

[smoky quarry]

a tank with a machine gun would be great in ashlands

[wraith sun]

sailing during the day = takes forever - sailing at night = is it already day again???

[slender rover]

Hear me out: level 2 cart upgrade includes a ballista

[ornate sigil]

One better, mounting method and a "follow" command for any rideable mounts that have their saddle.

Hooks up cart to lox and it follows you home.

*can still attack but cart is immune to damage from mount.

[smoky quarry]

with a armored Lox pulling i hope

[rain flare]

Ashlands and relaxing do not go together in the same sentence 😂

[tiny tiger]

There are 4 principle crafting types : woodworking, smithing, cooking and masonry

[half dragon]

also kind of sewing for robe type armor and cosmetics

[plush umbra]

nope, masonry

[half dragon]

oh yea that too

[plush umbra]

for the wheel

[burnt glen]

Artisan?

[rain flare]

Artisan.
Includes making windmills, sewing machines etc

[civic stirrup]

So I guess the towers in the middle of castles don't obey gravity lol

[tiny tiger]

Would it be artisanry?

[burnt glen]

Yes, though it's not commonly used I guess.

[tiny tiger]

Yeah Wikipedia says it’s a word by my phone doesn’t

[burnt glen]

It is a word.

[ornate sigil]

So is bird...🐦

[half dragon]

So is... word!

[mossy fiber]

Quick question. Do ALL enemies have a weakness to a certain damage type? (Pierce, blunt, slash)

[burnt glen]

No

[civic stirrup]

My mine does to a different word

[mossy fiber]

Oh hey Carnafex :D

[civic stirrup]

I was gonna say fance seeing you here, also yes

[fallen zephyr]

Appropriately, "Surfin' Bird", by The Trashmen, is a definite display of artisanry.

[mossy fiber]

Lol what timing we both happen to comment

[civic stirrup]

I know right

Didn't know you played Valheim

you should pop by some time

[mossy fiber]

Isn't that what we started playing together?

[civic stirrup]

Is it? not sure tbh XD

[mossy fiber]

I'd love to. Been looking for a partner to roam the new lands with

[half dragon]

I would argue that if enemy has no weaknesses, but takes normal damage to some sources while strong against other sources... then there's no longer a neutral damage source but just strength and weakness.

[mossy fiber]

That's a good point

[civic stirrup]

I mean you can kill anything with enough determination XD

[half dragon]

it's supposed to be the middle ground, but to me it looks like weaknesses are rarer and rarer in later biomes, making it somewhat pointless

[mossy fiber]

Not when there are 20 of them

[azure yacht]

There is a explicit difference between weakness and resistance.

Saying a seeker is weak to fire would be wrong

Saying that fire is more effective against it is better

[civic stirrup]

Ashlands?

[azure yacht]

Otherwise people would just believe seekers are weak to fire

[mossy fiber]

I didn't get more than 20 steps away from my little FOB when I was completely surrounded lol

[half dragon]

if there's no weakness then the normal is the weakness

[tiny tiger]

meda most effective damage available

[civic stirrup]

Yeah the spawns are wild in the ashlands

[half dragon]

whatever is the most effective is the weakness

[mossy fiber]

No, by definition, that's wrong

[half dragon]

that's not even the definition... whatever works the best is the weakness

[mossy fiber]

No lol that is not correct

[half dragon]

It is. Dev saying that "this is not a weakness" while it is, doesn't make it not a weakness

[azure yacht]

You can say they're more vulnerable to the damage.

But there is a clear definition in this game when it comes to an enemy being weak to a certain damage type

[daring crescent]

Is there a builds channel?

[mossy fiber]

What he said

[civic stirrup]

yee #building-screenshots

[azure yacht]

Seekers don't take increased damage from fire.

They take full damage from it

[half dragon]

compared to how strong they are against most other damage types, that becomes a weakness

[mossy fiber]

You can keep saying it, that doesn't make it true

[half dragon]

something to exploit, that is point of having a weakness

[mossy fiber]

Not resistant does not = weakness

[half dragon]

so if the game says a door is open, but it's clearly closed, you can't go through it... but the game says it's open. Is it open? The game isn't objectively correct if it does something illogical

[tiny tiger]

He’s right tho in a sense

The form of damage that deals the most damage can be considered the enemies weakness

If an enemy was resistant to all forms of damage but took 1x to spirit

Then spirit could be considered the enemies weakness

[paper marsh]

The game just has labels for how much damage you do to them, and straying from the labels can cause confusion

[half dragon]

the system itself is already a mess...

[merry sun]

Weakness in game code is different from gameplay weakness

[paper marsh]

If someone says seekers are weak to fire I expect fire to do 3x the damage that slash would do to them

[half dragon]

in game code it's merely a multiplier to number

2x isn't all that far from 3x...

[merry sun]

seekers only are resistant to Common types of Damage bc devs dont want any creatures to get 500+ hp

[half dragon]

but being afraid to add official weaknesses is already itself a problem with the scaling system, they made them too high and too low

[merry sun]

they got 200hp actually, but with pure Blunt/Pierce/Slash Damage they have pratically 400hp bc you only do hald Damage with this sources

and we only got frostner, some arrows, and Draugr Fang with elemental Damage untill mist gear

[finite lodge]

does every world have only 1 place that each boss can be spawned?

[half dragon]

think it would be far better to have lower penalty for strengths and smaller bonus for weaknseses, and then go further for some rare instances. Then they could pretty safely use the full range of weak/strong damage types

[merry sun]

XD eh thats funny

but mist gear got many Elemental Damage and many Damage overall

[merry sun]

No, we got many Boss spawns Over the world

The vegvisir will show the nearest boss

but If you found a vegvisir in other location it can probably show other Boss spawn location

[azure yacht]

If the game says it's open then it's to be expected that you would go through it...

How could it consider the door to be opened even if it looks closed visually and you can't go through it?

And even still, in that case it's a glitch, and we're talking about the correct way things work

[half dragon]

you're dismissing it as a glitch so you don't have to adress it

[azure yacht]

My point is that there is a clear definition in the game about a mob being weak to something or not.

A seeker being neutral to fire makes fire being more effective against it, doesn't mean is correct to say is WEAK to it because that's not true. You just have better chances at killing it with fire

[half dragon]

if it makes no difference if it's called a strenght, weakness or normal damage type because one of the extremes is being not used, what the hell is even the point?

[half dragon]

or in other words, weak to fire... an effective damage type for killing it compared to other options. Game can define whatever it wants however it wants but it doesn't become the reality

[wraith sun]

ohh god - i have played this game for so long and first now i realise i can just hold E to auto stack items from inventory to storage 😫

[merry sun]

Weakness is a game code and it is a gameplay fact

[ornate sigil]

The "hold E" is a newer feature

[half dragon]

and words have meaning outside of this specific game..

[uneven forge]

anyone have a list of eberything i need for max comfort

[merry sun]

You are both correct, but english got poor variety of words

[ornate sigil]

I believe the wiki does.

[uneven forge]

ty

[merry sun]

exactly!

[wraith sun]

i am aware of that, but the fact that i am well into the iron age before realizing (since the ashland update) i should be faster to spot changes after 1,4k hours in this game

[tiny tiger]

Wait you can hold E???

[half dragon]

Either way, all I'm saying is that they should reduce how much more damage the extremes of different damage types do. There is a problem if it exists but it's not utilized properly. The fact just is, that the damage bonus is too high and that is why so many bosses have no weakness and later biome enemies have no weaknsesses either

[wraith sun]

yea, it will open the chest you are looking at it, stack any matching items from inventory into it and then close the inventory again

[ornate sigil]

There is also a "stack like items" button on the chest

[paper marsh]

I've been using it constantly since it was introduced. So nice to just dump all my inventory into chests without having to click

[wraith sun]

i used the "stack like items" button until now 😅

[ornate sigil]

Especially true with large quantity stacks that are broken. IE: 15 stacks of wood in various quantities.

[merry sun]

The easiest Boss fights are the one who got a weakness (Bonemass and Elder)

[finite lodge]

what is bonemass weakness

[merry sun]

Blunt

[finite lodge]

my bonemass summoning place is right next to a camp in the plains that has a ton of enemies

[merry sun]

Frost too

and it isnt immune to spirit

[steel copper]

Man berserker axe are so OP. I love it

[paper marsh]

If only enemies would attack bosses. Stick fuling would wreck boneymass

[merry sun]

Frostner and Iron mace just Destroy bonemass

[paper marsh]

I think bonemass is my least favorite boss

[near saddle]

bonemass is easier than elder

[half dragon]

I'm afraid to pick up those axes because I suspect we will not see another set of dual axes like we might not see another set of dual "knives" either

[near saddle]

moder and elder are like on par

[paper marsh]

Moder is harder than Elder imo. She has pretty good damage

Moder is my favorite fight

[merry sun]

Why Enemies are "immune" to spirit? I think Spirit its a type of Damage which mainly affect Undead enemies. (Volture case is weird)

[near saddle]

while that's true, she can be cheesed too easily

[half dragon]

and now here's the crazy thing... they're not even "weak" to it, but many people believe they are since almost nobody takes spirit damage

[near saddle]

once she lands, you can just bash and bash and barely receive any damage

[craggy mason]

Is it normal that mining for ||Flametal|| is so damn painful

[paper marsh]

tbh the whole game can be cheesed too easily. That's why when I play I ban certain weapons and strats

[near saddle]

I wouldn't say that about the whole game, at least in Mistlands, "cheesing" means just playing carefully and being mindful of the terrain

[merry sun]

go raid some fortress and you should be fine with resources

[merry sun]

I think we only need to cheese in the Queen and in infested mines

the other part of the game can be done fine without cheesing

[paper marsh]

nah you can totally cheese mistlands. Just coming in with a bunch of bowskill and frost arrows to stop seekers from ever getting near you, using atgeir secondary to never let seekers get near you, hitting enemies through walls in crypts with a sledgehammer, blocking off enemy pathfinding by building stuff in crypts, or just sitting at crypt entrance and shooting enemies that can't get up to you or soldiers on the other side of doors. There's always cheese potential everywhere imo

[steep girder]

I didn't cheese queen but then again killing her took me like literally 3 hours or something.. 90% time running around fighting seekers or trying to get a hit in after knockback from blocking lol

[paper marsh]

tbh I think magic is too good and melee too bad for Queen and Fader. Feels bad

[near saddle]

I feel like that's just having a strategy mostly

like, the lack of strategy is what makes the biome difficult

[merry sun]

Isnt Fader that only got 1 ranged attack?

[finite lodge]

do enemies despawn when i teleport a long way away

[paper marsh]

I'd say he has 4 ranged attacks

Arguably 5

[merry sun]

They stop to hit you and your structures, but doesnt despawn

[finite lodge]

what about my portal, do they destroy it?

[merry pebble]

they stop hitting your structures 🙂

[merry sun]

they stop to hit you and your structures 🔥

you still will need to worry about what to do when come back

[finite lodge]

im actually worried i wont go back because my portal will be broken

[tiny tiger]

If the swirls still appear you can head back

but you may get killed as soon as you teleport through I’ve had that happen to me

[burnt glen]

What should I do? I have killed the boss and everything.

[merry sun]

thats the point in making a safe place to your portal

[merry sun]

The last boss?

[burnt glen]

Yes, many times

[near saddle]

start over

without a map maybe? could be interesting

[rain flare]

I can totally see that.
The only way melee competes is with Ashlands enchanted weapons

[merry sun]

Upgrade all your Ash gear, make ALL enchanted variants, build cool structures, make food, tame 2 stars

[rain flare]

Specifically the Jade weapons that immobilise bosses

[merry sun]

restart in hard or immersive mode

[rain flare]

Ring of fire, fire breath, meteors, lava spikes, spawning charred

[ember panther]

Lightning feels so good on the weapons. Wish I could have a lightning knife.

[rain flare]

Dual axes are actually the new knives

[merry sun]

i wish i could have a Lightning staff

[ember panther]

Also why does the magic lightning weapon use blood stone instead of iolite??

[rain flare]

Leap attack, fast attack speed

[ember panther]

Yeah I've been using the axes. They're awesome

[rain flare]

No idea - makes no sense to any of us

[half dragon]

what is the most bizzare about magic in this update is that the lightning magic weapon doesn't really function like magic at all... just glorified shotgun with reloading...

[rain flare]

You need bloodstone with the fire sword, trollstav, gemstation, blood enchanted weapons (sword, big sword, spear, dual axes, bow/crossbow) AND need it for lightning stick???

[silent ocean]

I havnt played the mistlands update or Ashland, currently moving through my second playthrough to play both updates but have they introduced a good way to discard of items thrown from your inventory? My friends and I typically just end up digging a massive hole with an outhouse around it to keep stuff we don't want off the ground

[merry sun]

a

[tiny tiger]

Obliterator, thunder stone from haldor

[half dragon]

I was looking forward to lightning magic the most but... oh god

[tiny tiger]

It converts unwanted items into coal which is always useful

[rain flare]

Channel your inner Grian 😂

OBLITERATE!!! 🌩

[silent ocean]

Thats perfect thanks 😂

[near saddle]

besides the obliterator, items just despawn outside of player bases and deep underwater

[rain flare]

But obliterator is so much better

[near saddle]

exactly

[ember panther]

A lightning staff mightve been difficult to implement. I'd like one that just calls down a bolt on something and never misses

[near saddle]

Himminafl is the closest thing to that

lightning staff
pro: good when it rains
con: non-functional inside dungeons
lol

[frigid gust]

Thor's polearm

[rain flare]

Well doing the typical chain lightning ain’t gonna work so good in Valheim I think

Technically the broomstick is just harnessing eikthyr’s heavy attack

Would have loved to harness the lightning bubble instead 🤩🤩🤩

[tiny tiger]

Lightning Atgeir, Frost Hammer, Fire Sword, Poison Axe + Bow

What’s next?

[hot wyvern]

fire greathammer

acc they need a buff icl

[merry sun]

all elemental types we get ingame rn

[burnt glen]

Just unlocked rotten meat lmao

[merry sun]

How do i get it?

[burnt glen]

Putrid hole

[merry sun]

try to unlock Asksvin Skeleton

[burnt glen]

got that already

[merry sun]

I never got any Asksvin Skeleton part

Iron mace for bonemass and the rest of the biome

[ember panther]

An ice-sickle

[merry sun]

Iron mace

[hot wyvern]

iron mace goes really hard icl

but of those two id go for sword

[merry sun]

If you already got make Iron sword

[hot wyvern]

iron battle axe isnt particularly good

and honestly the next battleaxe wont set you back much and is a bit more worth it

[burnt glen]

Battle axes are uhh..

[hot wyvern]

we'll get one next update guys 🙏

[merry sun]

i Hope we dont

[hot wyvern]

mace is best, but also make what you want

[merry sun]

1- Iron mace
2- Iron sword

[burnt glen]

I think Iron Mace

[lusty kettle]

ty both

[hot wyvern]

no need

[merry sun]

I Hope we get all weapons types except by one battle axe

[hot wyvern]

someones not a fan

[merry sun]

since Berserkir Axes exist now

[hot wyvern]

good point acc

battleaxes have NOT got a chance

[merry sun]

I mean, heavy Hammers Works in Valheim, but War axes doesnt work very well

they could be the most badass weapons ingame

[hot wyvern]

why i think iron gate needs to do a second pass on each biome

new stuff is more content rich but feels less connected than the originals

imo

[tiny tiger]

I mean Ashland’s is meant to be seperate from the rest of the world

[hot wyvern]

fair

[tiny tiger]

Just look at the world design

I do think plains should get a second armor set tho

[hot wyvern]

absolutely

[warm sandal]

Hussah... in my streaming world i killed Elder today ... 😄 took 3 min to roast him, then axe him, then shoot him dead 😄 Happy!!! 😄

[tiny tiger]

My friend just found an op way to level up

If one of you has pvp on and the other has it off and the pvp guy attacks the other they level up their skill

[ember panther]

Interesting.. I may try that out

[finite lodge]

what do i use to mine the glowing white rocks on the mountain

[tiny tiger]

Glowing white rocks???

[ember panther]

Glowing rocks? Those sound like a part of the drake nests. They aren't minable

[finite lodge]

yeah theyre illuminated

ah okay yeah i killed a few of those

what am i supposed to be doing with the stagbreaker again?

[ember panther]

If you're looking for silver I think they patched that out. Used to be you slam it on the ground and if you see "too hard" it means there's silver underneath

[finite lodge]

ah damn

[ember panther]

I've been lucky enough to just see parts of silver poking out of the sides of cliffs on a few mountains

[finite lodge]

wait no it works still i just found silver with it

ah sheeyit i aggrod some robot

[sharp ravine]

Is it normal that the Drakkar just randomly catches fire and burns down within seconds?

[tiny tiger]

I thought it was fireproof

[sharp ravine]

i did aswell but i just saw mine burn down

[tiny tiger]

Was a Gjarll attacking it?

[sharp ravine]

im in the Ashlands
(jumped onto one of those Graustein Towers to explore it and when i turned around it looked like an embers with damage numbers popping up rapidly)

[hazy seal]

tbh, if you think about this, we are the actual baddies in valheim

[near saddle]

you are the baddie in most survival/exploration games

[hot wyvern]

nah odin is with me

[shy marlin]

how so

[ember panther]

Most enemies attack me first. I'm just defending myself

[hot wyvern]

"its coming right for us!"

[ember panther]

shoot my 56th deer

[sharp ravine]

there was (or is it just happened again) some kind of flame in the air i dont know where it came from tho

[neon quest]

do flametal ore veins respawn in the same spot like leviathans?

[hazy seal]

eikthyr is a part of nature that dont want to be civilized, that's not a thing worth killing for, he just wants to roam free

we know that greydwarves used to be friendly but then turned on humans when deforestations happened and elder is basically the oldest of the greydwarves

bonemass is basically a slime made out of bodies of people who were prideful enough to battle the gods, , but not all people were into battling them and yet odin swatted their cities like flies with no remorse

to summon moder you need to use the eggs, and when she comes to protect them, you kill her and she cries because she failed to protect her children

fulings while prideful and fearful used to have armies that matched if not one upped that of man and odin just sent them to valheim

queen doesnt really count, she is a bug so its mostly primal instincts

not sure about last boss, haven encountered him yet

[ember panther]

Leviathans don't respawn IIRC. Neither does flametal

[hazy seal]

but basically, you kill bosses that just weren't willing to obey odin, and odin calls them prideful for not being on his side

[hot wyvern]

odin told me to kill them

[shy marlin]

Also aren't greydwarves sinful vikings reincarnated or something, like murderes/thieves etc

[ember panther]

If God told you to jump off a bridge wwjd?

[ornate sigil]

Fallen valkeries have a 3 burst of small fireballs...otherwise I don't know anything that throws fire other than surtlings. I do know the ashrain (storms) tend to light anything wood on fire, but I didn't think it effects the boat.

[hazy seal]

could be a superstition

[hot wyvern]

wwjd? idk hes the one telling me to jump

[ember panther]

Yeah there are lore stones about them. They were vile beings

[hazy seal]

like fearmongering

[shy marlin]

When the soul of a murderer or a great sinner rots under the ground, it makes a hollow cyst which draws rock and wood and moss to it. It gathers up the peat into flesh, braids reeds into bone and takes rags for skin. It should not walk but when the night comes it walks. Should you who read this see one with a sword to your hand, lance it and let it out. Or put it to the torch, for it fears the flame."

So it's safe to assume the elder is also objectively evil and the morals of killing the elder are more obvious to me...

[hazy seal]

and this is false, how do greydwarves really spawn tell me

[errant gulch]

can i see what changed from last ptb to main?

[shy marlin]

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

[hazy seal]

they spawn in the greydwarf nests

[neon quest]

leviathans definitely respawn, what are you even talking about

[hazy seal]

something doesnt add up

[sharp ravine]

i was out on the ocean (inbetween the spikes) so i dont think there was a valkyrie anywhre nearby

[ember panther]

Pretty sure they don't

[ornate sigil]

Only other thing I can think of is the lava blob...

[vocal vale]

They don’t

[neon quest]

Did they used to in the past?

[sterile summit]

They don't respawn: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Leviathan?so=search

[neon quest]

so is there a limited amount of flametal that can be got?

[hallow canyon]

The fiery meteors will turn anything made from wood into coal

[vocal vale]

Nope I thought so too but they just always sink permanently iirc

[ember panther]

Yes it's limited. But I mean, so is silver, copper, etc

[ornate sigil]

From the vein, yes. There are aparently other sources though.

[glass parrot]

You can get some from the fortresses too

[sharp ravine]

probably that then

[glass parrot]

Is the staff of fracturing good?

[shy marlin]

Everywhere but the ashlands yes

[ember panther]

It's ok. Does blunt damage which is kinda neat

[glass parrot]

Okay thanks

[dusty fog]

hi fellas, question... is there any chance to stop high lvl mobs (from mistlands or ashlands) to travel world? had some tryhard players and some casual players on server and while server setting for raid depend on PLAYER progress is awesome, that there still roaming enemies that kills casual friends easily. What should i do?

[hazy seal]

@shy marlin like really, do you believe vampires exist only because it was written somewhere?

[hallow canyon]

Tell them to stay inside at night?

[ember panther]

Unfortunately, once a certain biome boss is defeated, enemies from that biome will spawn at night

[hazy seal]

these stones are written by humans sent to valheim, yknow, the same people with their memory being foggy

[hallow canyon]

When lower level players hop on our server I just tell them to stay inside at night, and if they don't listen, it's their own fault if they get one-shotted by a seeker in the Meadows

[shy marlin]

bro what

ngl that's the wildest ping i've recieved in a long time 💀

Do you really believe that the lord of the rings happened because it was written somewhere? No of course not it's a book based on fiction

Wild

[ember panther]

Do you really believe vikings exist because it was written in a book?

[tiny tiger]

Do portals set on fire with fire spread on?

[ember panther]

Yep. Don't use firespread Imo. Makes having a cooking area hell

I mean if you wanna torture yourself sure, but anything wooden, and even hide carpets will burn

[tiny tiger]

Eh it’s only until hearths that the fire spreads from regular campfire

And the ability to make 50 coal out of a stack of wood is a god send

all you need is a torch

[azure yacht]

Remind me how greydwarf nest look like

[tiny tiger]

Purpley mist emanating from a pile of twigs in the Black Forest

it spawns variants of gray dwarves

[azure yacht]

"When the soul of a murderer or a great sinner rots under the ground, it makes a hollow cyst which draws ROCKS AND WOOD AND MOSS TO IT..."

[merry sun]

Is something wrong with valheim map?

[tiny tiger]

30% more health per player

[hazy seal]

doubt one body can spawn infinite amount of greydwarves tho

[merry sun]

my map seems different than what valheim map site shows

[tiny tiger]

Its case sensitive I think

[merry pebble]

¨like large changes?

[merry sun]

yes!

many things are unexplored areas (old seed)

[ember panther]

Got any L's, 1s or I on the seed? They can look pretty similar

[merry pebble]

maybe double and triple check the seed spelling? i have seen quite often lowercase "L" mistaken for upper case "i", or i think it should be possible to generate the map with world files somehow, i didnt use it myself so dont know much about that method

[hazy seal]

guys will dvergr be hostile to me if i break stone below their base so it breaks itself?

[snow goblet]

is it just me, or eggs that are 'hidden' under the hay, meaning i cant hover my mouse over it and see the (warm), not hatching? I dont want to remove my hay floor of my coop, but if it is hindering my egg production i have to remove it

[merry pebble]

you can try 😄

[merry sun]

DxpBUSrY4y

[tiny tiger]

I’ve never even thought to try that lol

[hazy seal]

please tell, i want to know

[merry sun]

eh, no L's

[ember panther]

I think they will get mad if you destroy their base

[bleak flax]

The map site allows for world file upload and if you didn't make a new world after Ashland's it's basically required to see the right POI

[merry pebble]

i am not sure, thats why i said you can try 😄

[hazy seal]

well, technically i dont break their base, it breaks cuz no foundation

but do they get hostile if i break stone tho

[merry pebble]

well they will agro if you attack anything protected by their ward, not sure if rocks and stuff count too

[hazy seal]

darn

[tiny tiger]

Wait

[hazy seal]

i'd love to know tbh

i dont wanna risk it, i dont have portal near the tower

[tiny tiger]

They don’t actually, the first dvergr harbor me and my friend went to was blocked in by rock formation that we had to mine through, they didn’t aggro until we hit the structure

[merry pebble]

if you want, you can just ram cart into the ward untill it breaks and then destroy everything, they will not agrro

[regal spoke]

Possible your old save is from legacy version? Mistlands brought significant changes to the terra. Been a long while since you loaded this world?

[merry sun]

i loaded that world after mistlands update

[ornate sigil]

Aparently refined eitr also works to damage the ward w/o agro...haven't tried myself but have seen a couple do it on YT.

[viscid sorrel]

Does upgrading trollstav do anything?

[merry pebble]

oh yes, it should, but cart is kinda more reliable way i feel 🙂

[hazy seal]

are you guys sure breaking stone wont trigger the ward and in domino effect the dvergr inside? (the problem mostly is one 2star dvergr rogue and one 2 stare dvergr mage alongside a couple of normal ones)

[vocal vale]

Alternatively you could kill them

[ornate sigil]

This makes me want to load carts into a catapult and try that.

[regal spoke]

I see. Tried toggling versions on the map site?

[hazy seal]

brother i am trash lmao

[merry pebble]

just go break the ward using cart or eitr and you will be safe 🙂

[hazy seal]

i dont have any wands yet, i need materials

[vocal vale]

Make walls and use a bow idk

You can kill a lot of things by building

[merry pebble]

what do you need wands for?

[hazy seal]

and the wall is to steep for cart method, its nearly 90 degree angle

[burnt glen]

I think you're right on some of those. Eikythr just wants to be free in the Meadows, yeah. I heard somewhere that the elder was a part of the world tree that turned evil, but in the runestones it says that it went against the gods (dunno if that is exactly evil). You actually do a favor to Bonemass by killing him so 🤷‍♂️, Moder is pretty sad. Similar to the elder, I think Yagluth and the fulings just went against the gods, not sure if they warranted killing. For the final boss ||He's the one who turned ashlands into.. ashlands, basically just charred up the entire biome after seeing that his people turned on him and burned down his palace along with his adopted child||

[hazy seal]

and queen is just primal instinct really

[merry pebble]

how bout queen? 😄

[vocal vale]

Why is moder sad

[hazy seal]

you kill her children and she cries because she couldnt protect them

[vocal vale]

But is she evil

[merry sun]

He is a fallen king

[regal spoke]

The tears kinda give it away

[hazy seal]

not really ehhhh

[vocal vale]

The Flan King 🍮

[merry sun]

"A father noble and proud, he soured through skies of fire. Then madness lowered its shroud, and warped his heart's desire."

[vocal vale]

Itsssssss nutty

[hazy seal]

shes just not in for odins cause and odin takes great offense if someone doesnt support him

[regal spoke]

How you doin Germ

[vocal vale]

I’m really hot n sweaty in a truck, hby?

[merry sun]

what is odin's cause?

[vocal vale]

To be the very best no matter what the cost

[merry sun]

Valheim lore seems to be pretty good

[vocal vale]

Needs more romance

[merry sun]

Moder is a sencient creature? Or was a human sometime

[burnt glen]

It's my favorite boss 😅

[regal spoke]

Doing good tyvm. You beat Ashland's on masochist difficulty? 😉

[vocal vale]

We’ve got a new run on hard, I lost the last server data whoops

We’re only to swamp so far

[nocturne wolf]

The real hard mode is using pickaxes as your main weapon

[merry sun]

She is literally The Queen, mother of all things we fight in mistlands

[hazy seal]

he sent you to valheim because he couldnt beat up some chumps so he sents a literal fuckin mortal to deal with them

[subtle vessel]

Can you get to Ashlands with a longship?

[regal spoke]

Oh man rip. Sorry to hear that. Glad you ain't backing down

[ember panther]

I've heard you can but... It's risky

[subtle vessel]

Like by cheesing somehow

[vocal vale]

I’ve heard you can get there with lots and lots and lots of wood

[hazy seal]

wont last long

[merry sun]

Ye ik about that, its in game introduction, but i really wanna know about other creatures

[nocturne wolf]

You can jump between some of the rocks with a feather cape but if you die in the water your items could be very hard to retrieve

[vocal vale]

I tried tagging you for the new run if you want to get in on it. We took all of the masochist settings off being there just isn’t time for them

[hazy seal]

literally most of valheim enemies are things that are deemed prideful because they dont obey odin

[merry sun]

Like Greydwarfs are reincarnated assasins (doomed to live in this miserable body)

[vocal vale]

Doesn’t matter what they’re deemed if they attack ME on sight

[ember panther]

What if Odin is the final boss?

[vocal vale]

It’s all self defense in my eyes

[hazy seal]

well, bosses dont attack you on sight

[vocal vale]

Yes they do?

[regal spoke]

Im always down to run with ya. Snail and others in the new server too?

[hazy seal]

you summon them by beating their kind, they have to intervene

[vocal vale]

I guess they’re not available till you knock on the door though

[azure yacht]

Kinda lame

[vocal vale]

Is bringing you to life worth taking my life over?

[nocturne wolf]

I hope he isn’t. Hugin probably wouldn’t be happy with me killing him
Also, he sent us here and we did what he wanted, why would he kill us?

[vocal vale]

What is the summoning? are we giving them power so they can maintain a corporeal form? Are we reincarnating them?

[azure yacht]

It'd be a forced plot twist that would add nothing of value anyway

[vocal vale]

Just snail and some new people from an entomologist server I’m in

[hazy seal]

ngl i hope for 2 final bosses, odin and one other chump, odin if we get all forsaken but then tell them at the power stones we dont work for odin and promise them you will take him down (they are still sentient even as trophies, hanging them on the wall proves that)

[azure yacht]

"You killed the forsaken, congrats warriors. WHOOPS turns out I am the last enemy you will face cringy evil laugh"

Wow what a twist, good thing valheim is such a story-rich game where this would certainly be cool to see...

[ember panther]

A smaller boss that teleorts around and summons lightning would be a good fight tho

[regal spoke]

Very cool. I'll pm ya in a bit. I've been grinding on 76 for a few months

[lilac girder]

is deepnorth going to be lightning related because another snow related biome is gonna be boring

[hazy seal]

he wouldnt be like that, more like he realized he made a warrior capable of taking down gods and he banishes you to valheim as the final forsaken

[merry sun]

Poseidon lol

wrong mitology

[nocturne wolf]

Or Odin and the player could be friends and drink as much tasty mead as they want in valhalla

[azure yacht]

That's slightly better...

But imagine going through all that shit with the promise of going to Valhalla just for "lol no you won't ever reach it and literally everything you did was for exactly nothing"

They should just stick to original plans

[merry sun]

"At this place I killed seven of the draugr and ended their long years or fighting and misery. Now who will end mine?" Bro this is so cool

[hazy seal]

i mean, odin prioritizes his survival above all else, thats why there are forsaken in the first place

[ember panther]

We don't know yet. Haven't seen much lightning yet so would be a cool change

[hazy seal]

thats why he has 2 spy crows

[merry sun]

I think Odin think fighting only one mortal is easier than fighting 7 bosses

[azure yacht]

The forsaken are Jotun

They're the expected enemies of the gods.

[merry sun]

Or we could have like a Cuphead plot XD

[hazy seal]

then why can a mortal beat them

[west pulsar]

They can only beat them but they alone cannot kill them

[azure yacht]

They're weakened.

It's explicitly stated, they couldn't be killed, which is why they're banished

[burnt glen]

I don't think the story of Mistlands has been explicitly stated, but I think the Dvergrs were sent into Valheim long after the Jotuns died and their flesh and skin evaporated into becoming the thick magical mist, where the Dvergrs harvested sap and refined eitr. Then The Queen (and a few seekers?) were sent by Odin, and they bred into a lot and are trying to take over the Mistlands which is why some of the Dvergr encampments are infested. They tried to kill her but couldn't, so they just sealed her away. I don't mind killing her ig 😂

[azure yacht]

And you don't even kill them, they still speak to you if the trophies are mounted, that states that they still live even after defeating them

[merry sun]

Imagine the requirement to kill the final Boss is getting ALL the other Boss Heads in the Forsaken altars

[ember panther]

So there would be two bosses

[azure yacht]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the case

[frigid gust]

Heh... mount the last boss trophy and the endgame boss pops up and destroys that Meadows base you've been using as your main base through the whole playthrough

[ember panther]

Yeah that's my only concern 😅 I've built my main base right around the altar

[half dragon]

plains base supreme

[azure yacht]

That sounds kinda hilarious tbh

[half dragon]

but then plains get literally swarmed by squitos...

[burnt glen]

I believe the original plan was to have 9 bosses. I think it'd be pretty cool to have a "final" boss after the one in deep north.

[azure yacht]

But they could just make the main spawn as the final boss altar so the boss would be in meadows.

Meadows being the first and the "last" biome sounds good in theory

[plucky void]

apparently theres a miniboss in the ashlands?

[ember panther]

What if mounting the final trophy makes you able to enter the center of the altar and face the final boss in a dungeon like queen?

[burnt glen]

Yes

[merry sun]

shhh its a secret

[west pulsar]

Yea yagluth mentions hes been defeated many times before

[merry sun]

Dyrnwyn Quest is a very good concept ngl

[plucky void]

without too much spoil, can i get a hint on how to find it? i think its through the morgen holes right?

[burnt glen]

Yes find the locator stone in the putrid holes.

[ember panther]

Putrid holes may have a vegvisir that points you to a "mysterious location"

[azure yacht]

This sounds fitting as well

[plucky void]

ooooh ohhh oooooh

intriguing enough

[burnt glen]

You'll be fighting ironman, boom! spoiled!

[half dragon]

nobody expects the secret hidden boss!

[ember panther]

I do

[plucky void]

ironman XD??

alr alr

weird enough

[merry sun]

||more like ghost rider lol||

[burnt glen]

bruh chill, they don't want to be spoiled

[merry sun]

its marked as spoiler

[half dragon]

||Nobody expects the spoiler in spoiler tags!||

[merry sun]

im testing him

[merry sun]

should expect

[ember panther]

You mean she hulk

[plucky void]

not clicking on that, nope

[half dragon]

god damn it... monthy python. Nobody expects the spanish inquistion. Tried to make it more obvious even

[merry sun]

Yes yes click on that 😈

[ember panther]

Final boss is the 1572 Spanish army

[frigid gust]

Now bring out... the comfy chair!

[merry sun]

Click here too

[plucky void]

nope! not falling for it even tho it is very tempting to click on things!

its so tempting tho...

[half dragon]

Dew it

[burnt glen]

Did you know that a black forest runestone has a little teaser of Moder.

[hazy seal]

fun fact: did you know that the damage type enemies are least resistant to is blunt?

[merry sun]

which one? what it says?

[burnt glen]

Seven were the creatures banished to this world by mighty Odin in the first days of his kingship. Seven gods and monsters too proud to bear his yoke. I have heard the tread of the Old Ones in the forest and have crouched in the shadow of the Mountain Mother when she flies. Of the others I know little. I will add to this stone when I have seen more.

[hazy seal]

compared to like 11 in piercing and 14 in slashing, blunt has only 9 enemies resistant to it

[merry sun]

Seven?

[plucky void]

please! spare me with those mind controlling!

[burnt glen]

Mountain Mother, this is a runestone in the black forest.

[merry sun]

Did this is updated every New Boss?

"...i will add to this stone when i have seem more" the Stone ends here

[frigid gust]

There might be some old lore that needs updated 😛

[burnt glen]

No it’s a static runestone in Black ForestS

[ornate sigil]

They might. I don't remember the one about the grey dwarfs being sinners prior to mistlands being added.

[merry sun]

Someone Said something about Haldor being grumpy before Mistlands being added

[burnt glen]

Why? It’s correct. it’s just a little hint of Moder in the early biome which I thought was cool.

[merry sun]

His dialogue

[safe flower]

How long till the deep north is out?

[merry sun]

at least 1 year

[ornate sigil]

Forever and a half...is a good estimate

[shy marlin]

n+1 until it actually drops

[safe flower]

Imagine if they released it with Ashlands but told no one

[ember panther]

Has anyone checked? 👀

[ornate sigil]

People would have found out. Lots like to explore what isn't widely known.

[safe flower]

Proberly not lol

[frigid gust]

I mean the seven, since there are as of right now already 7 biome bosses and we've got at least one more, plus the final one

[merry sun]

one more and the final one?

[nocturne wolf]

What do you mean, plus the final one?

[ornate sigil]

looks at all the YT videos of people going off the edge of the world prior to mistlands update

[safe flower]

Just one more boss

[ember panther]

The Ashlands runestone looks so crammed in there

[burnt glen]

Yes some people’s builds got messed up in the deep north with the generation changes, but no content update to the biome obviously.

[nocturne wolf]

That only happens on old worlds. It’s in the right place in new worlds.

[fair wedge]

Has anyone here ever attempted to flatten an entire swamp?

[frigid gust]

There's the Deep North that will be a full biome, likely a final boss, but an Ocean forsaken is up in the air, who knows what will happen. If they keep it at 9 total, the last one might come from the ocean, or whatever

[merry sun]

the Kraken

[ember panther]

Oh, I guess that makes sense. Idk if the queen just had more space to work with but I don't remember mistlands doing this

[safe flower]

I build platforms joining up each bit with wooden floor

[ornate sigil]

Going by Norse myth...it might be yormingander.

[fair wedge]

Using the trees?

[safe flower]

Just the normal starting platforms

Remind me of ghost valley from Mario cart

[frigid gust]

We haven't had anything explicitly from myth, just inspired by it. I would expect them to keep up that kind of pattern.

[vocal rivet]

Going by Norse mythology it definitely couldn't be Jörmungandr.

[fair wedge]

I want to make my swamp spawn proof and easy to traverse so I’m working on flattening it with a hoe and spawn proofing it with campfires.

[safe flower]

We just killed second boss and found a swamp, haven’t found a crypt yet but found bonemass straight away

[fair wedge]

I found a really good swamp with a crypt and those fire things that u can use to farm surtling cores

So I’m just gonna spawn proof the entire swamp so I can freely AFK farm those things

Alternatively, I’m thinking I could save time and just build a tree house

[vocal rivet]

In our new Ashlands world, I walked 10 yards into the first Swamp I found and got turnips. That NEVER happens.

[ornate sigil]

RNG at it finest

[finite lodge]

what are turnips good for

[ornate sigil]

Turnip stew I believe

[nocturne wolf]

Cauldron improvement and a lot of food recipes

[frigid gust]

Quite a few things, and they regain usefulness in a Mistlands level meal as well

[paper eagle]

If i sailed to a different part of the map and my portal got destroyed also my boat do i just have to restart from step on again

One *^

[merry sun]

Make a new boat yes

[paper eagle]

Damn mosquitoes

[merry sun]

happened to me too (more times i liked)

[paper eagle]

Bro literally one tapped me i was like wtf took me like 4 hours to get all the stuff organized and ready to sail off i get there and just instant dead im like yeah im gonna make some cereal and relax now

[steep girder]

As long as you didn't get "stranded" it's just a matter of building another ship and sailing to get your stuff back.. Otherwise it'll be a whole different story, waking up naked on a continent/island with no settlements or possessions, literally starting over with stone axe etc to build a raft at some point 😄

[ornate sigil]

Plains aren't anything to joke about, especially if you are new to the game and have skipped the standard progression. If you aren't going into the plains with silver armor (or mountain equivalent) , you will likely die quickly.

Skeeters are glass cannons. Easy to destroy but also dish out huge damage if they catch you off guard.

[ember panther]

Root chest is like a cheatcode for plains

[frosty cypress]

Ah ...right...fine wood. Thanks much. Was thinking regular wood for some rrason

[ember panther]

Have you got fine wood yet?

[slender rover]

I really wish we could build vertical ladders

would solve so many base construction problems, lol

[ornate sigil]

Not functioning, but you could build something that looks like a ladder. Vertical posts for the side rails and horizontal for the rungs.

[slender rover]

nah I need function 😄

[ornate sigil]

Then you might Wana ask around the modding community. They might have something.

[dusty girder]

any "Easy" mehods to Flatten things BIGGER AREAS at times instead of Pickaxe and use a Hoe to finish the job ?

[ornate sigil]

There are mods for that I believe, but nothing in vanilla.

[dusty girder]

tell me

a nexus mod right ?

[ornate sigil]

I believe so(?) It might have been super hammer.

A server I played on a long time ago had a mod that, if you put down 3 vertical 1m posts and hit it with the build hammer, it would flatten the area.

[dusty girder]

sounds alot like world edit

[ornate sigil]

Might have been. I was just joining for the building. Never got around to asking what mods were loaded. Only one I know for sure was beepin(or something like that) because that was required as a code injector.

[dusty girder]

already spent like 15 Hours last 2 days Just for my worlds to corrupt and spent the last 5 Hours Pickaxing away and still not being done

[ornate sigil]

Ouch.

If you haven't, try asking in mods chat: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[fickle violet]

Any strategies for the Fallen Valkyries? I keep getting goofed on by them

[paper marsh]

shoot 'em dead with bows crossbows or magic

Their fire is easily dodgeable, their spinny attack you can easily walk out of, but when they lunge for you you might have to block/parry/dodge

[sharp raptor]

Bonemass and fire resist can mitigate much of the damage but I usually alternate between crossbow and sword/shield

[fickle violet]

thanks for the tips!

[buoyant lake]

Anyone have some tips on killing asksvin as a full mage?

It seems like ember and frost are the best ones

[paper marsh]

If there's multiple get them to lunge at each other or fireball them. If there's one maybe two ice staff it

[fickle violet]

oh actually I am full mage, I alternate with staff of embers and frost while I backpedal. Dodge left or right when they lunge!

[buoyant lake]

Sounds good. I was sad dundr doesn’t really mess them up

[fickle violet]

funny I have no problem with them but the fallen Valkyries are another story 💀

[buoyant lake]

I guess dodging will help a lot.

[fickle violet]

really, Its just the lunge timing

a well timed sprint will work left/right

[buoyant lake]

Do you run all eitr food?

[peak sequoia]

hi, where is the list of items needed for comfort?

[river forge]

ashlands is literal pure hell

[neat remnant]

Am I going insane, or has the wind become a joke since the Ashlands update? I haven't seen strong winds pretty much ever, and like 75% of the time it is going in the exact opposite direction that I'm trying to sail to

The ocean has never looked more like a flat surface

[river forge]

and there's smoke and stuff everywhere, ash winds

[frosty cypress]

How do I do dev commands? Trying to sort a broken mod ate 2 stacks of copper and a half chest o coal. I need to respawn it but can't remember how

[river forge]

evil bug things

[pliant hatch]

If you have the option enabled, press [F5].
In the screen following after that, type: "Spawn Copper 60" (minus the brackets) and press [enter]
For the coal you can use the same method while console is still open.

[frosty cypress]

Thanks much

[urban ivy]

Hey everyone. Anyone got a hack on how to flip carts that is the wrong i side up lmao?

can't pull it as its upside down, cant push it from the sides or from behind by running into it which would flip it over.

Do I just simply need to accept there is no way to do this and go back to base to make another?

[fickle violet]

can you mine the ground around it?

[pliant hatch]

Why flip it?

Bash it with an axe until it breaks, pick up the resources and build a new one.

[urban ivy]

Nope, all my pickaxes are broke, I'd have to go home

[urban ivy]

Yo true.

[dusky escarp]

hello everyone

[urban ivy]

Thank you!! I wish I'd asked here before I spent 30 minutes trying to flip it

[dusky escarp]

how are you all

[pliant hatch]

NP.

Sometimes the easiest solutions are so obvious, we don't even think about those.

Good luck rebuilding it and transporting your goods. 🙂

[fair charm]

Valheim is a brutal survival viking game, in reality, when a cart flipped due to a physics bug vikings just accepted that the cart was lost forever and had a funeral for it and it's contents then and there

[urban ivy]

I have so many hours in this game, I played for months when it first came out but then had a huge break... have forgotten EVERYTHING 🥲

[livid widget]

Portals are dope!

[urban ivy]

Playing alone is so rough. There used to be 5 of us carting ore back to base with no issue. Taking 2 copper deposits home on my own in a cart is ROOOUGHHHH.

[pliant hatch]

Well, there's always the option to turn portals having the ability to allow everything being teleported.
Makes transporting ores a lot easier.

Although - imho - it also removes a bit of the exploration / sailing experience.

[urban ivy]

Yeah, I thought about that option. I may utilise it later down the line

but like you said, it kind of takes away the experience. It's a survival game for a reason.

[livid widget]

I kind of like needing to create biome bases and using boats to haul things back

I have to kill the elder soon

have all bronze now

Not sure what is next. I froze in mountains. Swamp has nasty ghosts

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually transporting everything that can't be portalled by boat; but used the option to portal everything once because I had forgotten that I had a non-portable Mistland item in my boat instead in a chest at my Mistland base.

But in general I will use boats to transport ores until I get to Ashlands. After that I'll see what I'm going to do.

After The Elder it's the Swamp.

So better get a good bow and start practicing sneak bow shots, because you will need them.
Once you got the hang of that and use it for both monsters on land and in the water, the Swamp ain't that scary.

[livid widget]

How do you sneak bow shot?

Every time I draw I stand up again. Seems like it's not possible.

[pliant hatch]

You will stand up, but it's still considered as a shot done while sneaking.

[livid widget]

ah

[pliant hatch]

The one after that counts as a "normal" one.
Unless you're able to go back into sneaking mode and hide behind something, so whatever you tried to hit doesn't see you.
They will however come over to investigate.

But that way you will be able to deal good damage to every Draugr in the swamp. Even with flint-head arrows (as they're a lot cheaper as bronze-head arrows)

[livid widget]

Mostly been using fire arrows

I got resin everywhere

more eyes than I know what to do with

[pliant hatch]

Fire arrows are nice, but when trying to shoot something in water the DoT and stacking doesn't work.
Flint head arrows don't DoT, but do more damage, which means they're better in that case.

You can use the eyes for portals and a food in the mountains.

[livid widget]

I found this vendor, too. Seems to not have anything very interesting

Sparkler? No idea what that is for.

[blissful stream]

i wish taking over a fort would decrease spawns in the surrounding area

[pliant hatch]

Hildir does offer you a quest when you talk to her.
Check the map near her after she's done and you will know what to do.

Things she sells may be better - opinions vary on that - once you've done (parts of) her quests.

[livid widget]

Oh I didn't even notice that. Sealed Towers and Howling Caverns?

[pliant hatch]

aye

And smoldering tomb.

I advise you to do the tomb once you're finished with the Swamp, the Cavern once you're finished with the plains and the Towers once you're finished with Mistlands; as you will a bit overpowered that way.

[fair charm]

campfire is your friend

campfire prevents spawning in a 20m radius, won't be attacked by mobs, is small and unobtrusive once it goes out (still prevents spawning) and won't be destroyed by fire rain (pretty sure)

[livid widget]

I swear when a troll aggros the greydwarves decide to spawn out of nowhere

[onyx birch]

Valheim animated series when?

[pliant hatch]

They only spawn extra during the night.
Otherwise they're drawn to you fighting the troll. (Like everything not liking you is drawn to you the moment you make lots of noise).

[feral iris]

Anyone know anything about the obscene latency in Ashlands with multiplayer?

[fair charm]

Gjall never despawn do they?

[pliant hatch]

[fair charm]

BetterNetworking Valheim on the server and the clients helps a bit

[pliant hatch]

Help in what way?

In that way you may consider asking that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[blissful stream]

time to plant the entire ashlands with campfires

[fair charm]

Man

If I could make one change to this game right now

I would remove the stupid non stick boots that the devs have saddled us with

Who the hell sat down one day and said "Yeah, vikings coated the bottoms of their boots in oil before going out every morning"

[livid widget]

wtf is a deathskito?!?!

Cannot outrun those %&@$!

[hidden gorge]

they're self explanatory

[pliant hatch]

You can block them and hit them immediately after.

Also, if you still need to kill The Elder, you're way above your league right now.

[fair charm]

If you roll towards them when they get super close they'll pretty much always miss

[vernal mason]

Hey! is it not possible anymore in ashlands update to change name on a portal and then enter it and then change the portal name on the other side too?

[pliant hatch]

Nope, that's patched out.

[vernal mason]

I see. is there a another way to change name on a portal pair?

[fair charm]

An additional portal pair

[vernal mason]

oh tru!

[pliant hatch]

If you got an unnamed one, drop a new unnamed one at the end, change the names of both portals and destroy the unnamed portal at the end where you wanted the pair to have a different name.

[vernal mason]

right, smart

[pliant hatch]

It's in general a good thing to have an unnamed portal anyway, as that will also make it easier to escape a nasty situation.
So dropping a (temporary) 2nd one will always work.

[fair charm]

man I love trolls
