I guess technically I was in the meadows this time

[pure condor]

I think he is referring to troll

[livid widget]

No I kill those now

This was a little green goblin guy. One shot me.

I guess there is another biome there. Looks tan on map

[merry sun]

certainly is a Fulling

[livid widget]

guess they can wander into meadows?

[merry sun]

they only spawn at plains

[pliant hatch]

If it's bordering the Plains, yes, they can.

[livid widget]

I see buildings with a big fire not too far away

guess I'll stay away from that area

[merry sun]

its Fulling villages

[livid widget]

I cn't kill them?

I see several on the beach

[lilac girder]

can you still find silver with the stagbreaker still

[pliant hatch]

It should still be possible, yes.

[pliant hatch]

They're 3 tiers above yours.
You might give it a try when there's one, but for a group it's not advised.
The Bronze Armor you wear offer better protection as troll or leather, but it also makes you a lot more slow.
And Fullings in groups like to attack you from different directions, which means being nimble is a better option.

[upper dock]

how do you join public server?

[pliant hatch]

By asking if anyone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 has an opening?

[upper dock]

oh thanks

[pliant hatch]

Right.
I think I've done enough Vegvisir work for today.
Time to check if my sleep is a river and my dreams are fishes.
Or to find out my net's empty. 😦
Cya!

[west pulsar]

How do i deal with the new ashlands raid?

Its so fucking annoying

[livid widget]

will rain eventually permanently destroy wood floors

Seems like my patio takes damage from it

[lilac girder]

they weather but it won't destroy them

[livid widget]

thanks

[pure condor]

this is absolute bullshit

[cedar copper]

Guys I haven't played since ea launch pretty much is the game released like 1.0 release?

[azure yacht]

#news

#valheim-patchnotes

[cedar copper]

0.218 so still in "beta"?

[strange arrow]

1 major biome left to develop

[azure yacht]

In ea

Beta ended over three years ago

[cedar copper]

Tyvm

[pure condor]

in debug mode, anyone knows what is range for killing creatures when you press k?

[worthy turtle]

any tips for beating the third boss?

[shy marlin]

Iron mace and poison mead are the biggest ones

[strange arrow]

pretty much up to your vision limit

[strange arrow]

take a minute at the start of the fight to watch how he moves and attacks, and then get in and out in the openings using the dodge roll, after a while you can get so good at this he won't even be able to hit you anymore

[strange arrow]

+if you want to limit the kill area down using commands use killall 10(m) for just a small radius, or whatever measurement after killall you need

[unreal basalt]

It only has three attacks, and it has around a 5 second delay between each attack so the best plan is to stay close with a mace and always keep enough stamina to dodge roll/sprint away, and when he spawns minions run away from the boss and deal with them quick

[surreal furnace]

Just got the Drynwyn, looks sick (tho I dont think they put any effort into its handle lol), but in the Ashlands it seems like it'd be worse than the Nidhogg lightning?

[tight yacht]

does the swim skill ever really amount to anything

[languid vessel]

is there any intent to ever let us lower the masts of the Karve, Longship and any other yet-to-be ships?
IIRC that was a key feature of Norman shipwork that was one of the things that made the longship so good

[shy marlin]

not really no

[tight yacht]

figured

[tepid prawn]

decreases stamina cost so you can swim much farther

[shy marlin]

and when has that ever been useful

If you have to be swimming, you've already failed somewhere else

[tepid prawn]

disagree, current playthrough I am on a meadows island, I built there before I unlocked portals, had to swim

[shy marlin]

Build a bridge

[tight yacht]

yeah swim seems only tangentially useful

[shy marlin]

Swimming just doesn't amount to anything ever gameplay wise

[tepid prawn]

planning to but until that is done I'll swim

[tight yacht]

like sure if you find a gap its nice to do it, but in reality if its something you traverse often youll either just get a boat or build a bridge

[shy marlin]

Pretty sure the only time you have to swim in the game is if there's a swamp crypt that leads to another room but if you have to swim under the passage

[tepid prawn]

thats fair, I only ever built 2 real bridges so far in my 1700h haha so haven't done this one yet

and its too close for a boat

[tight yacht]

i built a small one to go out to an island that serves as my dock

[strange arrow]

making it back to the boat from the leviathan is all that matters

[tight yacht]

that too

in reality, a tasty mead will cover 99% of hardcore swimming requirements

[fair charm]

I love sailing in valheim
Storm > Fog > Storm and fog > Fog

[civic stirrup]

Any tips on how to use the catapult? It seems a bit random with no kind of sight apature or such

[fair charm]

Honestly being able to see anything is for losers

[fair charm]

point it in the right direction and pray

[civic stirrup]

Kekles

[strange arrow]

tie yr shoes and light the fuse

[fair charm]

20 minutes of sailing
0 minutes of visibility
5 minutes of okayish winds

[tight yacht]

is tacking useful in this game?

[fair charm]

No

[strange arrow]

nah

[tight yacht]

boo

[fair charm]

Just paddle straight into the wind it's faster

Tacking is a lot of effort to go slower

[strange arrow]

exactly, it changes often enough that you'll have tailwind soon after

[tight yacht]

well even without the tailwind, is going straight into the wind faster?

[onyx birch]

Yes, it is useful. If you know what you're doing. Ignore the plebs.

[tight yacht]

what does "know what you are doing" mean exactly

is there a strategy beyond changing direction once at the midpoint

[onyx birch]

The sailing mechanics are done quite well. So yes, if you have a good beam run you'll go faster. If you're on a reach then it'll be slower. Overall, a tack will always be faster than a paddle.

[finite lodge]

are these sailor terms

[strange arrow]

as much as saying "the wind pretty much dictates what you do anyway"

[fair charm]

I'm pretty sure I tested it in a game with my mates and paddling was faster and easier

[tight yacht]

gonna look this up

[finite lodge]

paddling is when you have just 1 yellow bar going forward or backward right?

[onyx birch]

Fair winds to you.

[fair charm]

Oh here's the data from someone slse
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/15cdxju/tacking_vs_paddling_the_ultimate_test/

[onyx birch]

The link is not good data. The individual has no clue how to actually sail. Do a little research on what a good tack is and how to use wind correctly.

[tight yacht]

what issue do you have with their methodology

[onyx birch]

Give the developers some credit. They did a great job with the mechanics.

[tight yacht]

where do they go wrong on the test that makes it inaccurate

nobody is saying the developers didnt do a good job, but i just want to know the answer of if/when it is appropriate to tack

based on the results of these tests it seems the answer is "only when the winds are very high"

[strange arrow]

good weather: paddle, extreme high winds weather: tack, from what i gather

[tight yacht]

yeah thats what im seeing here

[strange arrow]

but what would us "plebs" know

[fair charm]

I feel like you can't really just say "No this is wrong do your research" and then not back it up with any reason beyond "No it's wrong because I say it's wrong" and expect to be taken seriously

[civic stirrup]

I tack unless its mega calm or or I'm in a narrow straight

[onyx birch]

The link you sent has data from exactly one, maybe, test. The numbers could be pulled out of the testers arse for all we know. Having said that. The Notes of the full beam is correct. 45deg is not faster than a lower angle. This has to be combined with the correct wind angle to reduce the ship drag. There is no mention of that at all. Keel direction as well as windage and sail angle are all important.

[tight yacht]

you realize the context is in the game right?

[onyx birch]

List and push are actually in the game and make a difference.

[tight yacht]

the game has 2 controllable variables for sailing: direction and sail strength

[onyx birch]

I do. yes

[tight yacht]

this accounts for both of those

the testing was done straight into a headwind which is worst case scenario

[civic stirrup]

What's fun is when you are trying to sail between islands and the wind keeps changing to stay ahead of you just as you could turn into a good tail wind 🤣

[tight yacht]

to find the greatest difference between the two methods

and of couse we werent there for the test so of course they could be lying on the internet but the question is...why would they lol

why go through the trouble of doing that extensive test if you are just going to lie about it lol

[onyx birch]

It doesn't. Specifically. Direction was changed once. No mention of making sure to combine wind direction, sail and wind push, and keel pathing.

[tight yacht]

yes, direction was changed once and the wind direction was set via a console command

[fair charm]

Straight headwind with no change is the best case scenario

[tight yacht]

to ensure it was always worst case scenario

so how else would they have done that test to be better than that

[onyx birch]

If you want to paddle, go for it. Its an option so use it if you want. Some of us will use a tack and enjoy the game.

[fair charm]

Worst case is you tack and then the wind turns to a headwind when you go to turn back

[tight yacht]

changing direction once is best possible tack since any more than once has you wasting energy on a turn

[tight yacht]

i enjoy the game plenty, tacking or not. i was just asking if it was best to always do it or if there were times when it was better to paddle. you are being weirdly personal about this lol

[onyx birch]

As long as you keep a good trim, you are correct.

[onyx birch]

Not really. 🙂 My answer was simple. Tack is better than paddle.

[tight yacht]

based on this data that isnt always the case

[tardy belfry]

Is there a good way to break the fortress stone pieces? I broke down the tower that sits in the middle to clear it but it floats. Is there a way besides a catapult?

[onyx birch]

obviously up a river, no. Bringing in to moor, no. Full travel, yes.

[tight yacht]

well sure those limit your ability to turn at all

but i feel like you are intentionally trying not to understand this so i wont bother continuing

[onyx birch]

Not at all. Enjoy the game.

[strange arrow]

some people evidently just wake up, see a storm surging and Ocean swells as high as houses and think "nice day for tacking"

[tight yacht]

thats the best time to do it apparently

[strange arrow]

i'd be thinking "what can i do other than go out in this"

[tight yacht]

i dont have a good enough base yet to afford to sit around

im just entering the mountain biome and im not making my next expansion from the meadows until the plains

[strange arrow]

the serpent hunt is a compelling enough reason ig, but i did around the world in 80 frost caves by raft lol, i know all about serpents

[tight yacht]

jesus, in a raft?

[surreal furnace]

Okay so, the catapult is the best thing ever made, no way I jsut got from my mountain base on the east side of the map to my friends meadows bade mid west side..

[tight yacht]

whats wrong with you lol

[strange arrow]

sometimes with a dozen or leeches and a couple wraiths in tow xD

it was back when i had bad lag issues and kept losing longboat mats by the truck load xD

everytime i'd log in the latest boat i'd invested in would be vanished

[tight yacht]

ah that sucks

[strange arrow]

i only lost a few of the rafts in the end, and i made the crazy trip xD

[rocky oasis]

Nearly got killed by a tornado

[tight yacht]

im hunting for a good mountain to start at

[rocky oasis]

It got so close to my house, and iowa got trampled by tornados

[strange arrow]

oof

[rocky oasis]

Sorry for the off topic comment, I'm just a lil scared

[tight yacht]

thats pretty wild tho

[rocky oasis]

We had 9 tornado warnings

[strange arrow]

yeh good luck out there

[paper marsh]

Bruh everywhere I know people (and where I live) there’s been tornadoes and floods, shit is crazy

Florida, Iowa, Brazil, Poland

[rocky oasis]

Thanks, my mum bought one of those radios that aren't human but a robot talking

So when I heard my county in the tornado warning advisory or what ever

It's like that scary voice you hear in horror games that have severe weather yk

On the radios

And every time we got a warning, the stupid alarm on the radio would go off

[tight yacht]

sounds like they picked a good sound for it lol

[rocky oasis]

Lol

[tight yacht]

scary voice = something dangerous happening

[rocky oasis]

Fr, it was like that nuke alert sound

Terrifying.

[strange arrow]

i'm sure yr following the local advice for such occurrences?

[rocky oasis]

Ye, my dad was following weather channels while my mum was outside recording and laughing at the clouds...

But yes, PTSD forever. That was my first occurrence with a tornado warning.

[strange coyote]

Like a true midwesterner😆 That's what we do around here too. Tornado siren goes off we all go outside to look for it

[tight yacht]

how else are you supposed to know if you should shelter lol

[strange arrow]

nature has it's magnificence and beauty even amongst the danger

[rocky oasis]

Lol, I live on the border of Iowa and Wisconsin

[tight yacht]

i feel the same way about earthquakes here in california

[rocky oasis]

California lovveeee

Welcome to the wild wild west

[tight yacht]

they have never been bad where i am but i always feel amazement at how much force it must take to just shake the whole ground for miles like that

[rocky oasis]

Fr

Earth is a wild planet

Anyway.

Sorry to dampin the mood.

Or be a Debbie downer

[digital nexus]

guys, who had a map before the ashlands update will need to create a new one? or the new area just pops on the bottom of the old map?

[rocky oasis]

There we go, I'm gone now boisss. Peace out

[strange arrow]

stay safe (if poss)

[strange arrow]

yes it should generate at the very South of the map as normal when you get there even on an old world, you may notice some of the area before you reach it having some weird stuff like floating trees and rocks where land has been withdrawn and now is water but it doesn't affect progression towards/into the biome

[tight yacht]

how much iron is enough

[strange arrow]

2

[tight yacht]

i have had the absolute worst luck with bees this run

[strange arrow]

dry meadows are the worst

[tight yacht]

so many structures, im entering the mountains now, and only 2 bees

apparently climate change hit valheim hard

[strange arrow]

rough tho, i think i was at like 8+ bees by that point usually

[ocean girder]

Is there a way to make my tamed boar stop running at the walls of the pen?

[digital nexus]

Ok :3 thx ♥

[ocean girder]

It's plenty big and it's just obnoxious that it wont stop

[strange arrow]

sounds like return to spawn behaviour, you can breed in out in the next gen

[ocean girder]

Oh excellent thanks

[tight yacht]

waait you can breed behavior?

[strange arrow]

it might not eat at all if it's trying to return all the time tho, you may have to let it go back and breed it where it was at

1st gens especially from runestone spawns have this annoying trait they want to return to the spawn point all the time, but if you breed them, the babies and subsesquent litters don't have this homing trait

[tight yacht]

ah ok

some lady trader is talking about getting ambushed, is there supposed to be a map marker showing where that is or something?

[strange arrow]

yeh touch her table

[tight yacht]

oh damn

looks like ive got some sailing to do

is there any way to farm the thistle or mushrooms?

[strange arrow]

mods

[tight yacht]

ehh

i want to beat this game vanilla at least once before going that route

[strange arrow]

some go to the effort of marking spawns and re-visiting on the re-spawn but it's far less effort to take a portal and just run a fresh meadows or forest and you'll fill up on all those in no time

back before free building i used to tie my forest runs in with getting corewood and just generally bundling tasks together to make them more fun and less of a time drag

[tight yacht]

i mark each of the spawnpoints for the non-farmable plants and make outposts near good loops of them

[strange arrow]

i used to mark absolutely everything, until i learned the effects

[tight yacht]

what do you mean the effects

[strange arrow]

they drain fps

[livid gazelle]

map marks?

[strange arrow]

yes

[tight yacht]

all the time? or just while the map is open

[strange arrow]

each one

[fair charm]

anywhere I can go to learn more about this?

[strange arrow]

Smiffe is the one who knows the most about it afaik

and i think there has been work done to avoid it impacting too much, but a lot of markers=lag/slowdown

[cerulean dust]

is it possible to ram down the fortress tower gate? been slammin it for a few minutes and nothin haha

[fair charm]

Ram with what? a cart?

[cerulean dust]

battering ram

[fair charm]

Yes, are you getting big damage numbers? If not, move closer

Also did you put wood in the battering ram to fuel it

[cerulean dust]

oops it was backwards xD

[fair charm]

yeah the battering ram orientation doesn't make sense lmao

[honest prairie]

I keep getting random worn wood floors inside my fully enclosed house...

[fair charm]

well, doesn't make sense from the perspective of gameplayh, makes sense from the perspective of the battering ram just being a reskinned cart

[strange arrow]

maybe server desync?

[honest prairie]

Idk maybe? Their health bars are completely gone and they look like they are missing a couple slabs of wood.

[strange arrow]

sounds like it yeh

some pieces can get out of sync with the active world

[honest prairie]

Umm... my thatch roofs are also occasionally getting "weather damaged"

[strange arrow]

restart server should clear it up

[honest prairie]

Hmm... maybe.. I have a cron to restart the server every 6 hours. Is that not enough?

[strange arrow]

ofc you don't have to... but in my experience it only gets worse when that starts to happen, losing boats, losing terrain modifications, mobs being invis and impossible to hit, mobs flying, etc xD

[honest prairie]

Hmm. How often do you restart your server? (If it's dedicated that is)

[strange arrow]

whenever it starts to get laggy like you describe

[radiant umbra]

Hey i cant seem to open F5 on my sp world

[strange arrow]

need to have typed in "-console" in steam options

[tight yacht]

do you have -console enabled

[cerulean dust]

was trying to see how viable destroying the whole fortress for resources would be

[radiant umbra]

in launcher options?

[cerulean dust]

but looks like stuff just floats when you ram down the bottom

[radiant umbra]

I'm trying to see the differences between the Very Hard world modifier vs the Normal world modifier

since they kinda feel the sameish

[tight yacht]

what are the best modifiers to try out?

i forgot they added those

[strange arrow]

#valheim-help message

[strange arrow]

best for? you can portal metal, turn down but not off the death penalty, free build, all on the world modifiers page

[tight yacht]

i like not being able to portal metal, it makes sailing way more important

[strange arrow]

well they aren't the default/vanilla settings

[tight yacht]

deathpenalty maybe, stuff seems pretty easy so far

[strange arrow]

first few hundred hours for me was all vanilla, it's a decent balance all round, folk just want QoL after a long time playing

[tight yacht]

understandable

id make portaling metal something you unlock after beating a boss or somthing

[strange arrow]

you only just get access to it || in Ashlands, vanilla, comes with a fancy new portal||

[tight yacht]

bro where are the bees

[fair charm]

Hiding

[tight yacht]

thats the only explanation lol

[strange arrow]

misbeehiving

also using any of the world modifiers watermarks that world as having done so

[tight yacht]

anyone tried hardcore?

[pure condor]

A lot of people did no death runs completely

Keep in mind that enemies will get more hp, but behavior will be the same, which means more tedious battles, not necessarly harder

Similar to new biome did with numbers I must say

[drowsy sorrel]

does the game get harder if i leave a server running? i.e. does the game get harder more days in

[pure condor]

No

If server is live game stops as soon as you leave it

[strange arrow]

you get periodic raids/night spawns but they won't get harder until more bosses are downed

[pure condor]

If you afk you might get some raids in meantime, but environment does not scale without you progressing

So whats the general opinion of experienced players about Ashlands and number of enemies spawned?

[strange arrow]

it's tough going, but it's supposed to be tough going, and i think the consensus is that it's about right

Smiffe even mentioned maybe buffing Mistlands to make it harder 😓

[pure condor]

I felt like if the enemies were same or stronger but with less spawns it would make it much better experience

Ive been reading reddit and as someone who did run to corpses countless times and did game without dying I feel like its not hard, just annoying

[fair charm]

Ashlands enemies are okay but should have a load less knockback
Ashlands environment is annoying but fine
Ashlands multiplayer performance is completely unacceptable
Ashlands flametal pillar floating bug is game breaking
Ashlands fortresses are boring

[drowsy sorrel]

thank you

[pure condor]

At some occasions it is impossible to retrieve grave which has never happened in earlier biomes to me even in first playthrough

[fair charm]

Either have an environmental hazard that instantly kills you to make positioning more important or have mobs that will knock you back into narnia, having both is a joke

[pure condor]

Oh yeah, knockback is another thing, its fine, unless the floor is lava, which in 50% of cases jt is

While I like the positioning being more important, its just absurd that even once you have cleared location, 5 mins later there is 50 spawns

This is why I asked earlier what is range of kill enemies with console command

Even with setting campfires which I consider a bit cheating

[strange arrow]

most of those points are being addressed, i wouldn't hold my breath for major improvements to fortresses tho

[fair charm]

Just kinda wild that they went live like 1.5 months earlier than their time limit with two game breaking bugs in

[strange arrow]

sometimes they just love us being tortured souls by the annoyances they give us

[pure condor]

I really wish they tone it down with spawns. Hard I dont mind, but like I said in some of the cases its same thing all over again which makes it just annoying instead of hard. Not to mention again, this is first biome where I could not retrieve grave on first playthrough due to endless enemies

[fair charm]

I mean, at this point you just have to assume that campfires and spawn blocking is an intended mechanic, just like in minecraft

as some build pieces block spawning and others don't I would assume it's the toggle of a single flag against the campfire entity

[pure condor]

It was impossible to play without campfires, and yet still spawns where everywhere. After certain amount of campfires fun stops

[fair charm]

I popped down some campfires, not heaps, and it helped me out loads in managing enemy spawns, at least near my base

When venturing out it's just being slow and methodical and taking eikthyr so I can leg it if things go pear shaped

[strange arrow]

as long as the portal is protected, and the boat, you can't really lose

[pure condor]

Not to mention, what I hate the most is seeing people saying, why don't you just lower difficulty on reddit. If the new biome is getting feedback that it's harder than earlier ones, and if the people who did game multiple times on same difficulty, solution is not to change difficulty but balance the new content.

[fossil salmon]

does putting down workbenches still work?

[fair charm]

Yes but at the same time they catch fire

[pure condor]

This is why I hate as well. It's supposed to be war and yet I find myself just running around avoiding everyone

[shy marlin]

Hard disagree, people just haven't adjusted to the new biome yet. People are still learning their strategies and figuring out the enemies.

[rain flare]

Biome is more balanced around multiplayer

More people = better results

[fair charm]

Hard disagree

[strange arrow]

you have to be more surgical as a solo operator and pick yr route carefully

[rain flare]

Single players struggle with the number of mobs

[pure condor]

I have played this game first time on normal difficulty

[fair charm]

Not because of the mechanics, but because the biome is unplayable with multiple players because of the network issues

installing BetterNetworking fixed most of those but installing a mod shouldn't be a requirement to play

[rain flare]

12-14 mobs targeting a player versus 12-14 mobs splitting their attention between 2-3 players

[shy marlin]

okay?

[rain flare]

Network issues isn’t necessarily the games fault.

I play with my friends who also live in my country and we don’t have network issues

[fair charm]

I have a group of 5 who play together, we have completed all biomes just fine with minimal to no lag/issues even in boss fights and busy situations

Ashlands is a janky mess of teleporting mobs and bufffered hits instantly killing people

[pure condor]

I will copy paste what I said above

If the new biome is getting feedback that it's harder than earlier ones, and if the people who did game multiple times on same difficulty, solution is not to change difficulty but balance the new content.

I really wish they tone it down with spawns. Hard I dont mind, but like I said in some of the cases its same thing all over again which makes it just annoying instead of hard. Not to mention again, this is first biome where I could not retrieve grave on first playthrough due to endless enemies

[strange arrow]

bro never lost his grave in a crypt guarded by 2 star archers lol

[shy marlin]

Idk what to say, I went deathless blind on very hard, all of the issues you described are just a lack of knowledge, strategy, and preparation. Those things come with time. Give it time and you'll be waltzing through the Ashlands no problem.

[rain flare]

Janky Ashlands I can agree with

[fair charm]

It got to the point where most of the group just stopped playing

[pure condor]

I did

[trim steppe]

They somehow made this more frustrating than mistlands. Bravo.

[fair charm]

I disagree

[strange arrow]

inching gear back is just another repeat of that, annoying yes, but not insurmountable

[fair charm]

But yeah ashlands seems to promote a slower more strategic playstyle

[shy marlin]

If it helps, try to think about the Ashlands as if you're exploring the swamps for the first time. Everyone remembers the difficulty ramp up from black forest to swamp

[fair charm]

With that said you can just take eikthyr, pop that, and sprint until you find a set of dverger that will distract the enemies and you lose the giant mob following you

The terrain is also pretty good for getting AI pathfinding stuck so you can frequently lose a mob by running through a group of those spawned buildings and having them stuck pathfinding while you disappear into the distance

[pure condor]

I have played Swamp as first time player, and in deathless run, and as experienced player. Experience is different by quite a margin.

Less spawns, it's water, not lava. While I agree it should be harder, I will repeat again, it's just more tedious and annoying.

Simple balance tweeks would make it much better

I am not saying it should be made as second meadows

[strange arrow]

meadowslands

[fair charm]

There are two main tweaks that I'd make to ashlands, apart from the bugfixes

1. lower enemy knockback, especially the asksvin and the big birds

2. Lower enemy stagger thresholds, I shouldn't be one comboing an enemy for 90% health only for them to not be staggered

[strange arrow]

not really too fussed about the first, but the second is concerning

[fair charm]

Have you beeen to ashlands?

[strange arrow]

they like to troll us, remember xD

[fair charm]

Because an asksvin can knock you back like 10m even if you parry the attack

[pure condor]

I love the fake ones warriors throw, certainly most interesting enemy added

[fair charm]

Which is terrible in the land of instant kill terrain

[pure condor]

I might say it's my second favorite mob in game

[strange arrow]

if there's gonna be lava you can be assured the devs want plenty of us getting knocked into it somehow

[fair charm]

I mean, the lava already presents a load of challenges

[pure condor]

Instead, adjust the terrain not to be instant kill since you are already having fire resist at all time

[fair charm]

Lava resist mead thanks

[strange arrow]

i'm glad they fixed the mounts so you don't die

[fair charm]

Yeah but the mounts are a big meme because you ride a mount to your destination and then the instant you hop off the mount it instantly runs off to die

[strange arrow]

but more pronounced danger areas should be a thing

[strange arrow]

smh at this xD they should stay like lox when dismounted?

[fair charm]

no lox also run off to die

[strange arrow]

xD

[fair charm]

But lox also aren't a vital part of the traversing of the game

[strange arrow]

even on follow if a wolf aggroes it's gonna be the same story

[fair charm]

Again, the wolves aren't an essential traversal tool

It's like if your boat decided to run off and fight enemies when you hopped out

[strange arrow]

gotta take that home made stone box kit with you to protect yr mount xD

[shy marlin]

yea idk, i admit my biase and how disconnected I am from the general community. I strictly play on very hard and have no problem doing so and it's honestly really easy for me. So my perspective is warped so much I guess I really shouldn't be giving feedback because it's not relevant to anyone. It's entirely possible your criticism/complaints are more general for the masses and irongate should possibly consider that.

[fair charm]

Admittedly the bigger overall problem with the ashlands is that all of the stuff in it is just

Not really that worth the investment you put into it?

[strange arrow]

it's unfortunate

[fair charm]

Like I can make the new swords etc but I'm not sure I'm going to because of how good the mistwalker and frostner are

[strange arrow]

ready the fire weapons for DN and gg

[fair charm]

No the deep north is going to give us frost weapons that enemies there are resistant too

[strange arrow]

if i can build my igloo idc

[pure condor]

just increase spawn rate again

[tepid prawn]

Dyrnwyn will be FIRE for DN!

also Ashlands weapons and armours are super powerful in Mistlands etc, can steamroll a bit there now

[tight yacht]

I FOUND BEES

[strange arrow]

*Mistlands buff in difficulty inc for sure 😩 *

[fair charm]

If the mistlands difficulty buff comes with a bigger wisplight I'll take it

[pure condor]

starred seeker is the worst mob in game

I do hate 2 starred archers in swamp, but those are a bit rare. Seeing that purple flying thing gives me nightmares

But I did like Mistlands, and have to say the only negative about it is that they did not add an item for mass clearing of fog

[strange arrow]

would have been neat to have some mechanism for removing it, especially the unremovable bits

[fair charm]

Shield generator should remove fog within it's AOE

[pure condor]

That's a good example, once you have passed mistlands, next biome could provide permanent help with the mist 😄

[strange arrow]

indeed

[pure condor]

It's beautiful and you can't see it.

[fair charm]

Damnit, just died to a starred seeker soldier

[pure condor]

I wish we could tame them

[fair charm]

Okay, got my gear back

[strange arrow]

nope you get suicidal Askvins instead

[fair charm]

#screenshots message

behold, sanest starting base

[pure condor]

If that was ashlands you would be saying this in 3 hours

[fair charm]

I've been in the ashlands a lot

Usually takes me about 2-3 minutes to get my gear back if I'm unlucky

[pure condor]

I honestly doubt that 🤣🤣🤣

[strange arrow]

i believe it

[pure condor]

Have you guys ever met gravekeeper valkyry sisters with their pet morgen?

[fair charm]

Yes

[strange arrow]

ofc

[fair charm]

The valkyries are really easy once you learn a simple truth

[strange arrow]

even smashed Morgens close quarters in the caves

[pure condor]

The best part about it is that in one of my like 9 attempts to retrieve that grave was that a twitcher one shotted me witha rock

[fair charm]

Wait

Do you not eat a full set of food and regen to full health before going to get your grave?

[pure condor]

Sometimes I do

[strange arrow]

.....

[fair charm]

Why would you ever not do that?

[pure condor]

But without armor even 200 hp cannot tank much

[fair charm]

Stamina my guy

the difference between a corpse run with 150 stamina and a corpse run with 50 stamina is about 3x as long sprinting

[pure condor]

You can get 150 stamina with carrot, honey and mushroom. You still have 30 hp with zero armor

[fair charm]

Yes

You can tank the arrows and charred rocks with 2 health 1 stam food though

And when you get to your gear and equip it you're back to fighting form

[strange arrow]

run like the wind, recover the gear

[fair charm]

Also make some asksvin armor

It's cheap as and about as good as carapace once it's got a couple of the cheap as free upgrades in it

[pure condor]

If you can find time to equip your gear while valkyr is camping it then we are playing different game

[fair charm]

perfect for body recovery

The only attack the valkyrie has that can attack you if you're walking away from it while equipping armour is the peck attack

If you just walk away from it even while in the equipping gear or loading arbalest slow walk it'll just whiff it's spin and almost always whiff it's fireballs

[strange arrow]

why would you start equipping armor with mobs on yr back? get to a safe distance etc

[fair charm]

I just equip and dodge as necessary

Depends on how many mobs though, if it's like 2 mobs I'll be fine, a big group I'm out

If it's a morgen and a valk though just wait until they animation lockk themselves and then go for it

[strange arrow]

well yeh i manage it most of the time, but it can trip you up if you let them get too friendly

[fair charm]

Yeah but that's what the no death penalty buff is for

Also if you take eikthyr and pop that, while you have the corpse run buff you have infinite stamina for 60 seconds which should be enough to get you anywhere you need to go

[pure condor]

I can revert the save and you can try it if you want 🙂

[fair charm]

Do it

I can take the pain

[ashen elk]

Alright, Ashlands is difficult, I have learned this the hard way

[normal vine]

i freaking love this game dude!

[tight yacht]

pretty great isnt it

[normal vine]

last time i had this much fun was with modded skyrim

ill hit 400 hours on both of these games

[rain furnace]

I haven't started the ashlands expansion yet. have my saved game parked and waiting.. sounds like its worth it?

[normal vine]

just load in that save it'll take some time

[stuck wave]

Oh it's very good. Just challenging if you're not ready

I found after my six or so months waiting for it I had lost a lot of practice

[rain furnace]

I haven't really played since shortly after mistlands came out. took me a hot minute to conquer that biome

[plush umbra]

all the fortress enemies came out to my base, i think its time to abandon this base and call it a failure

[normal vine]

im trying to circumnavigate this continent i just hope i dont accidentally go too far and get killed by those super sea serpents you find near the ashlands

[rain furnace]

in my old save, I had sailed to ashlands and dropped a portal to it. will that still exist? or nah

[plush umbra]

likely will now be in the water

[rain furnace]

gotchya, well, I might log in and take a peek, can't really get serious though for a few more weeks

[plush umbra]

ashlands was made smaller so anything near the edges is now ocean

[rain furnace]

teleporting into the ocean sounds... bad

[austere sedge]

Why is that there's always a storm before going into the ashlands' mainland

[fair wedge]

If you guys started a fresh world and just got your first 140 pieces of iron, what would y’all spend it on?

[fair charm]

Well, I just used my first iron in my current world on Krom

[fair wedge]

I’m thinking I’ll spend 10 pieces on a longboat. That leaves me with 130

[fair charm]

Yeah, longboat is huge

[fair wedge]

I could probably craft a new set of armor and a pickaxe

And maybe 1 weapon

[rain furnace]

ugh, what the heck, just loaded in my saved game and my character is naked, at the circle of boss heads, with just first boss killed? yet, I have all the magical staff weapons and my mistlands food buffs are all active from when I last logged out. seems like a lot got reset. this kinda sucks

[tranquil sigil]

Hey guys, just a quick question (at least I hope): We played with friends back in 2021 and had a blast, except for a pretty big annoyance that showed itself on bosses, with huge lags and desyncs.
It was a dedicated server and everything, I could blame them a bit as this was a new game and a lot of people wanted to play it.

I'd just like to know, is the game still buggy/laggy in multiplayer? To the point it's not even playable? Ty, and enjoy!

[rain furnace]

oh wait, I'm a noob, logged into wrong world... my base is still here.. whew!

that was like 100s of hours of work lol

wow, its laggy as hell though.. and I'm in singleplayer mode. to be fair, I have like 150 2-star wolves roaming about and a big base... but it was never like this before

[fair wedge]

Depends, I used to have problems when playing with certain players on a server. I think there’s a p2p connection going on that causes lag.

[rain furnace]

hmm, my ashlands portal definitely leads into the middle of the ocean, according to my map. guess I couldn't hope for an easy path to start this expansion ha!

kinda forgot how to play this game, been many months since I played

[plush umbra]

get ready for an ass whoopin

[tranquil sigil]

I heard the new biome is pretty hardcore

[rain furnace]

the harder the better, if its too easy, I get bored.

[plush umbra]

yeah

[tranquil sigil]

We never did Mistlands, my friends and I, so even that is going to be difficult I reckon

[rain furnace]

I thought mistlands was hard, until you get floaty cloak and some upgraded gear, it was a pain

[plush umbra]

mistlands is cool imo

[fair wedge]

Why Valheim devs hate being able to see clearly in front of you?

[rain furnace]

the mistlands boss, the queen, was too easy though. fire magic ftw

[plush umbra]

i thought it was fine, low enemy density and mostly melee enemies dont make the mist much of a problem

ashlands on the other hand..

I'm going back in, wish me luck

[rain furnace]

excited to get into it, unfortunately I must close the game and wait a bit. don't have time for a deep dive just yet lol

[rain furnace]

good luck!

[odd fox]

the queen was NOT easy bro lol

[dapper token]

yeah exactly, for me if its really hard then ive gotta spend time preparing, coming up with a good plan and then doing whatever thing it is, but if its too easy you just stroll right though it

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[normal vine]

why is it so hard to get eggs like oh my god

you get like one omelette with 3 eggs thats just annoying

[opal prairie]

I'm loving the knife playstyle.
So effective against trolls.
Sneak, backstab for loads of damage.
Stagger with blocking, attack quickly for a possible next stagger and finish off.
It combines really well with bows as well, if they get too close and you don't want to run, switch to buckler and knife do the leap attack to get right up in their faces and blam.

[normal vine]

im loving the skibidi playstyle

good against fader

[fair charm]

omlette not worth, just make salad

Two farmable plants and a cloudberry per salad

If you desperately want eggs you can make a chicken farming tower

[normal vine]

i know its just that i just came back from my voyage they ate half of my seed supply and only gave me like 3 eggs

[opal prairie]

It's not hard at all.
Put some eggs in a barn near a closed of fire, wait till they become chickens, feed them some dandelions or seeds and watch them multiply.
Let the fire go out but keep feeding the chickens, they will lay eggs a plenty.

You can even make an auto egg farm, the only thing you need to do is collect the eggs.

[normal vine]

i know how the game works its just the waiting for them to lay some eggs only to get a single omelette

[opal prairie]

That could mean that the place you have the chickens is almost full.
There can only be x chickens and eggs in a certain space.

[normal vine]

i can get up to 12 chickens in this little pen i made for them and i only got like 6 up

i dont have a campfire nearby so that they dont hatch

[fair cairn]

i dont think that enough chickens?

[fair charm]

There's a cap of chickens and eggs in an area for laying

[normal vine]

p sure u can get like 14 chickens within 12 meters

i think thats how big my pen is

dawg i dont have that many chickens im just idle farming for eggs

[opal prairie]

That is quite tiny and depending on where the chickens and eggs are it might overlap and cap at a lower value.
Could also be that the chickens have too much room and are rarely close together to procreate.

[normal vine]

it worked fine before

[fair charm]

Not for hatching though which is good, however they stack up on the edge of a pen so it's got to be enclosed completely

[normal vine]

i could get like 8 in the span of 10 minutes

its like very random idk i just keep them in a hole in the ground

wish u could harpoon the chickens at least it would be easier to move them

maybe its just the hen AI that is fucked and doesnt know whether to breed or not

[fair charm]

Turn on PVP and you can harpoon them, I think it might instantly kill them though

[normal vine]

only with the butcher's knife

[fair charm]

They've got like 2 health

[normal vine]

unless turning pvp on negates the effect of the butcher's knife

[fair charm]

I thought that turning on PVP just let you hit friendlies, which chickens count as as tamed mobs

[normal vine]

i might just move over to the chicken farming tower to make it less annoying

[fair charm]

Just move on from chickens entirely to be honest

They were barely worth the effort over lox meat pie when they were a top tier food and now they're surpassed

[normal vine]

yea tamed mobs are in the players faction

i might just kill the ones i have and hatch the 2 stacks of eggs that are in my stockpile

[normal vine]

probably

unless i fw glazed chicken

if that food is any good

[fair charm]

Glazed chicken is good

but ashlands is out now and it's such a pain to get, and the ashlands foods are just straight upgrades

Also misthare supreme is less annoying to get if you have the ember staff to clink chickens

[normal vine]

hold on imma get

they need to update the foods ranking on the wiki page because omelette supposedly the best mistlands food

[fair charm]

It's not even the best mistlands stamina food

But it's easier to get than fish n bread

But again, you're gaining 5 or 10 stamina over salad, which is so incredibly easy to get for the effort

[plush umbra]

Hi

[steel sandal]

hiya ^_^

[plush umbra]

Hi hi what are the big dudes in the water that u can mine stuff off called?

[fair charm]

Leviathans

[steel sandal]

^ for the razor and harpoon

[plush umbra]

Is it rare to find 3 right next to eachother?

[steel sandal]

my world had a cluster of them but yeah kinda rare

[plush umbra]

I thought it was only 2 and then i got on the second one and saw a third

[plush umbra]

Okay ive only ever seen one before so i was like extremely confused

[steel sandal]

its always a nice suprise 😄

[fair charm]

There's no point going to ashlands before moder is there?

Actually nevermind yes there is

[steel sandal]

i have yet to visit the ashlands im currently in the plains after deafeating moder

[fair charm]

Don't go there before finishing mistlands

[steel sandal]

yikes lol is it bad

[fair charm]

It's the current endgame biome, to get there organically requires beating the mistlands to get the stuff to even get there without dying or cheesing

I've already gone there on a main save and I'm experimenting with sequence breaking at the moment to see what you can get

[steel sandal]

oooo fun!! here i am taking over fuling camps and breeding lox

[fair charm]

Essentially making my run much much harder for literally zero gain

[steel sandal]

anybody have a good way to drain these tar pits the last one i did took like 3 game days

[rain furnace]

really? I thought mistlands was challenging but I thot the queen fight was pretty tame. I think I died once maybe twice learning the fight. I’m used to souls type fights where I die 100x learning the fight. Think Melania from Elden Ring. That fight was dope. Queen? meh

[idle storm]

The learning curve is pretty steep, yeah. Chances are you'll die quite a bit in the beginning even with full Mistland gear.

though tbh most of my Ashlands deaths were from falling in lava

[steel sandal]

lol iv died over and over everytime ive entered a new biom

[rain furnace]

same, mistlands kicked my butt until I established a foothold. Part of learning curve, and the fun!

[steel sandal]

the swamp kinda grew on me though with the root armor and stabbing everything with the silver sword i love watching them all fizzle out 😆

[rain furnace]

I once built a paved road thru a swamp. Built a sweet base overlooking it from bluff. I like the swamp

[steel sandal]

saddly i dont have a swamp base yet im scared to build now cause of the "you're being hunted" wolfies always find a way to make that event tragic for me

[rain furnace]

died to that in the mountains a few times, not sure I’ve faced it in swamp. I remember having wyvern event in swamp tho, they chased around the skellies for days lol

[idle storm]

hunted event only triggers in ||plains or mountains||

[opal prairie]

Take a few steps away from the tar, dig down as low as you can and make sure you have a way back out, then work towards the tarpit till it starts draining in the pit.
Bring a stonecutter and raise the ground in the tarpit, it should flow into the hole and the tar you want should pop out.

[steel sandal]

thats awesome !! i didnt know that i might get started on the swamp base then =0

[hollow crag]

Anyone know why my wind mill stops working i put them up on my roof top and teleported to somewhere else came back and found out it only processed one barley flour

[fair charm]

Bonemass doesn't want you to know this but the trees with green nodes on them in the swamp are indestructible

[steel sandal]

so just straight down as low as i can get it ? i did it the hard way it seems by digging out a little lower than the pit every few steps now there is a tar river lmao

[idle storm]

They keep the wind speed of when the zone was last active (as in you were there). So if you leave when there's no wind it won't process anything until you get back.

[hollow crag]

When i left they were spinning really quickly

And now they just kinda stopped

[opal prairie]

Yes, then make a way out, start digging towards that pit you made from the tar and watch it drain.
Then place down a stonecutter and start raising and flattening the ground to raise the ground in the tar and the tar should keep on draining into the pit and the stuff you want should start popping out of the tar.

[hollow crag]

wait it tells me that wont work wtf?

[hollow crag]

#screenshots someone pls help

[vast dew]

Hi all - does anyone have any recommendations on a dedicated hosting company? We've tried gportal / dathost and the game lags heavily with 8 people and around 20 mods. Especially when fighting mobs

[opal prairie]

#dedicated-server might be more helpful to your query.

[vast dew]

thank you - copied it over 🙂

[errant gulch]

so what have been y'alls favorite things to use from the new stuff?

[high raven]

are there any open community servers to join? Ones in game never let me join

[hazy seal]

tbh

wish wishbone had more uses outside of mountains, like bro, its like they forgot about this item in development

[azure yacht]

No

#1024264966712340510

[peak island]

does a two star deer despawn?

i trapped one

[calm vine]

Yo anybody got a bunch of stone they dont need I need a couple chest full worth

[azure yacht]

devcommands

[calm vine]

without cheating ...

[candid basalt]

How is teleporting from another world not cheating??

[steel sandal]

could make a 2nd world and buff the harvest rates

[calm vine]

you don't spawn it in that how

[azure yacht]

Asking someone else outside of your server for resources is cheating so this is kinda contradictory

[calm vine]

Didn't think of that should try it thanks

[candid basalt]

Or just buff your world before you start it up again

[dapper token]

i mean to be fair i dont think a lot of people are gonna give you that much stone that theyve grinded for for free, so if someone does give you it they most likely cheated to get it

[steel sandal]

^ that one works to less logging

[calm vine]

Games been out for years so they should if they are playing on older worlds to pick right back up but ya..,.

[dapper token]

ok kind of fair enough ig

[opal prairie]

It does have more uses outside of mountains, you can find buried iron in the swamp with it, buried treasure in the meadows and the black forest.
haven't tried it out in the plains nor in the mistlands.

[opal prairie]

How are you going to know the person that gives it to you hasn't spawned the stones in?

[dapper token]

ya exactly

[calm vine]

Most people tend not to cheat thats how

[opal prairie]

How do you figure that?
Got any statistics that shows this?

[gusty blade]

why tf does corpse run give increased carry capacity but it wont autopickup corpse and basically bricks you with the dumbass take all button? this bug is so ass and not respawning with rested is so ass too it's so tiring

[calm vine]

Yes most gamers dont like cheating in a indie game

[steel sandal]

lol i wondered the same thing

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/hahahahaha-funny-as-hell-hilarious-laugh-let-me-laugh-even-harder-gif-17352083

[calm vine]

I legit don't really care you guys don't have to justify you guys cheating to me lol

[azure yacht]

You get the buff after the tombstone disappears. Not before.

That's not a bug

[gusty blade]

It may aswell be, because there is no point for 150 carry cap if it doesn't auto pick the corpse

you're dead either way because of menu encumberment instead of over encumberment, cause cursor doesn't teleport to the take all button (the only place you WANT it to go)

[azure yacht]

The only reason it doesn't is because the weight in the tombstone excedes your current one. Nothing else

[gusty blade]

bug or dev bad, which will it be

Like, if I interact with corpse, I dont expect to see the inventory, it just turns into a cycle of death cause you have to wrestle your mouse to the take all button instead of just pressing E

[steel sandal]

ooo if you have the belt and you take all origonal weight is like 350 or something so it boosts just incase

[gusty blade]

like they could also just make corpserun come when you press take all or have received your items, rather than after it gets destroyed and remove that anti-encumber thing

[azure yacht]

Again, that only happens because the weight in the tombstone is heavier than your current weight limit.

[gusty blade]

okay but who gaf, it's a bad mechanic

I know why it happens and that reason is dumb and if intentional, is exceedingly stupid design

[azure yacht]

Which only happens after pressing take all and have received your items as that is the only way a tombstone would vanish

You ask for what's already there

[gusty blade]

It does't add difficulty or make things engaging, it just makes things overly frustrating for no reason

[gusty blade]

which is useless man get rid of your keanu pfp you have the brain of a valheim corpse only active after you've already said your piece

[azure yacht]

So you prefer it to pick up everything and make you encumbered?

I'm sure that would be even more useful

[gusty blade]

Like, corpse run activating only after you click take all is stupid design
it should just pick up like normal and give you corpse run immediately

[gusty blade]

Why do you live in a world of "If blank, then cant blank"
You can just NOT do the encumberment by making corpse run activate immediately rather than after corpse pop

[dapper token]

drama 🍿

[hazy seal]

yea but treasure in meadows and black forest is usually mediocre and you can already find iron in crypts

[azure yacht]

Not like it's uncommon for old things to become obsolete overtime. Wishbone isn't the only case

[gusty blade]

It's bad and inconsistent functionality for when you do have meginjord, I can understand if it does this when you DONT have meginjord, like you died while encumbered
But when you die with meginjord, it could auto-equip meginjord, or you could just have corpse run activate immediately

Corpse run is worthless if it ultimately results in you dying over and over because of the take all gimmick

[hazy seal]

yea, when they're done with deep north, they should come back and tweak some earlier content

[gusty blade]

tbh they should touch up existing stuff before deep north, like oceans

[hazy seal]

doubtful, they have last biome on their hands so its pretty much crunch time to get it done and then you can look back

[gusty blade]

Originally they weren't gonna do that though, i dont see why they couldn't sneak out an intermediate update the fleshes out the content you'll be seeing a bit of travelling to deep north (and for any newbies coming for the 'full release')

Clearly they did have plans for an ocean touch up prior to switching up

[hazy seal]

what part of last biome do you not understand, they'd prefer to get it done so the game technically is complete

[azure yacht]

I used to want them to move on from the game after v1.0 but I'm not so sure now...

The quality and quantity of meadows to plains is drastically different from mistlands and ashlands

[gusty blade]

What part of touch up existing content before the big 1.0 do YOU not understand?

[azure yacht]

Ashlands alone has like double the content and quality than all first five biomes

[hazy seal]

true

[gusty blade]

People will likely lose interest in the game after fighting final boss, so doing a major ocean touch up after would be a waste of time, really

[dapper token]

ooh shit fr?? that makes me excited

[gusty blade]

That was their original plan from before mistlands iirc, dunno what they had in mind for an ocean revisit outside of like more customisable ships

[hazy seal]

it's more likely that they make deep north first and then touchup the meadows to plains later

[azure yacht]

It's slightly exaggerated.

But it does feel a lot more complete than all those five biomes together

[hazy seal]

they dont have time to balance ealier biomes if they're THAT close to the finish line

[azure yacht]

Only thing I ask is ocean BEFORE Deep North

[gusty blade]

They kinda have all the time in the world really

[dapper token]

ah i see

[gusty blade]

Unless they have like a publisher who is gonna tear their head off, which I dont think they do

[hazy seal]

ocean needs more obstacles tbh

[azure yacht]

I'd be very greatly disappointed if they decided to work on DN before ocean.

Unless that implies ocean willl be much bigger than most other biomes

[hazy seal]

the reason it feels boring is it's basically a car ride on an empty street

[gusty blade]

I been saying this, cause it'd just kinda make sense to update the transition biome people will see a lot of when they're coming in for the big 1.0 drop

[azure yacht]

Precisely, the sooner the better

[gusty blade]

After DN hype will almost definitely fall off, cause a lot of people dont replay games like this where it's 'fight boss, then what?'

[azure yacht]

Because it's technically the biome you explore the most.

So the longer they wait, the more worlds will be affected

[high raven]

You can dupe your entire inventory simply by saving, logging out, and restoring (savename).old

Save
Deposit deisred items into box
Log out
Restore .old save
Repeat as desired

[merry pebble]

at that point why not just use commands?

[high raven]

idk lol

[hazy seal]

tbh i just want them to make early game more exciting

because 80% of early biomes is mostly grinding

and grinding is tedious and boring

[high raven]

or make traders easier to find, Ive only found 1 in over 350 in game days

[merry pebble]

thats really rng dependant, and if you know what you are doing you can find them pretty soon 🙂

[azure yacht]

And that's 50% of them so not that bad

[pliant hatch]

You mean you find it grinding.

and if you do, you're basically playing the game wrong and should divert what you're doing more.
Meaning, instead of spending 3-4 days at your base to farm crops, go out and explore.
Meaning, instead of mining that copper node in one go, return to base, smelt the stuff, do some farming and do other things.
The more you focus at doing one task, the more "grinding" this game is going to feel.

However, if you consider collecting resources "a grind", you may ask yourself if this is the right game for you, or if using the multiplier modifier set at 3x wouldn't be a better idea.

[hazy seal]

personally its because meadows is not interesting to explore

the only real reason you go is to find bees

but the structures themselves arent interesting

[merry sun]

say this to old me exploring the meadows in the First time playing

(i died to 2 star boar 3 times)

[forest willow]

meadow is basicly a intro so you get to know the game before it gets harder wich is nice tbh

[merry sun]

Ocean is also a good experience everytime i need to sail

[hazy seal]

it is an intro but man i wish there was more interesting stuff in there so its always cool to explore

[forest willow]

run to blackforrest and hook up with a troll 😛 that gets ur blood pumping

[hazy seal]

perhaps more advanced structures with more lategame materials but you're not permitted to break them with a hammer until you have at least collected the thing once

[forest willow]

oh u mean like structure wise in meadows cooler buildings

yea they mostly all same

[hazy seal]

exploration in this game is like nr1 thing you do, it'd be nice if we had more structures or subbiomes

[forest willow]

yea could have like few small island placed out in the water that only comes up during night and you get some good loot from it

[onyx veldt]

probbably a stupid question but if i take my character to a new server do i forget all recipies and lose items ?

[merry sun]

Sea serpent

[merry sun]

nope

you can bring your character to any world

[onyx veldt]

ahh thats awsome thanks

[shrewd minnow]

is the frostner hammer any good?

[opal prairie]

Yes! Though remember it does frost, spirit and blunt so it isn't good against some enemies that are immune or resistant to those damage types.
||I wouldn't use it against moder, the frost and spirit won't damage her.||

[fair cairn]

also, its a terrible mace, it does great damage with frost and spirit but its terrible as a mace

[opal prairie]

You also won't stagger much since only the blunt damage is taken into account for that.
The damage it does and the slow it applies are nothing to sneeze at though.

[fair cairn]

terrible at golems though, generall its good after mountains or before not during though its not bad against wolfs and such

[gusty blade]

Aren't maces just mid in general, only weaknesses are in swamps basically unlike pierce and slash weapons

They seem mid to me anyway

[opal prairie]

True, it is better in plains and mistlands than it is in the mountains.

[fair cairn]

they are good at most things but a frostner is pretty terrible at being a mace

[gusty blade]

It's kinda sad that there's some weapons just missing, like a plains two hand mace, and one handed mistlands mace

[fair cairn]

maybe i shouldve said they arefine against most mobs
but the frostner is terrible at being a mace

[plush umbra]

depends on the type of enemy

some its really good for

[opal prairie]

Maces in general maybe but Frostner is a special mace that isn't actually really a mace.
It brings slow, frost, spirit and blunt damage to the table and the damage it does is pretty decent.

[plush umbra]

day 3, finally took the fortress after a long and drawn-out battle

[opal prairie]

It is a deliberate choice from the developers though and I for one would also like a knife in every biome but I do get why they choose to do what they did.

[gusty blade]

is it just to ruin the players that like, 'I'm running maces, you run swords, you run a bow' with friends...

Im guessing it's a goofy balance decision even though maces are kinda just like, nothing is really weak to them?

cause they function the same as a sword or axe, they just do different damage

ignoring hammers ofc, they're different

[opal prairie]

Bonemass, blobs and skeletons are weak to maces.

[plush umbra]

a lot of weapons are still fine in the next biome, but its probably a good idea to have at least 2

[gusty blade]

Yeah outside of swamps though, it's like only growths

[opal prairie]

For now I'm running with 3, bow and knife as main and mace as backup for burial chamber diving, still only in black forest.
I'll probably drop the mace when we are in the plains, unless we make a second frostner, my buddy who is our tank will get the first frostner.

[paper marsh]

I always forget bronze mace exists

dont think ive ever made one

[fading fox]

It is the best weapon for entering swamp. That is my only use for it

[paper marsh]

yea i don't see it as much better than the alternatives tho. just a tiny bit better

I always just use axe. much cheaper

[smoky quarry]

clobbering is usually the cheapest

[opal prairie]

You need an axe anyway so I do get why you would go for that, a tool and a weapon in one.
I also carry an axe but I keep forgetting it is also a weapon instead of just a to to cut trees with.

[paper marsh]

If I plan on taking down bonemass (which I usually don't) I'll definitely make an iron mace, but skellies and blobs don't scare me much. Starred draugr archers on the other hand 💀 💀

[steep girder]

I think the ||Fallen Valkyries|| are somehow a bit broken or something... Just last night I had one dash directly to my location from very far away even though I was behind a huge cliff and stealthed with the "eye" fully closed... It flied to my location with it's head pointing directly towards my character and kept circling around the big cliff with an intent until it finally "officially" found me and the "eye" opened so it could attack

[vocal vale]

Cries in unarmed

[steep girder]

Basically it clearly saw me and came at me with the stealth indicator telling me I am stealthed indeed and standing still behind LOS cover

[paper marsh]

oof

[azure yacht]

To encourage using other weapons instead of sticking to the same ones. Which is a bad idea anyway

Has anyone tried the effectiveness of crystal battle axe in ashlands?

Wide attack range, spirit dmg and lots of stagger must do a lot if silver sword alone works miracles

[paper marsh]

I imagine it's okay, but iirc it doesn't have a ton of spirit damage which is a bit eh

[smoky quarry]

i`d like to see Tyr challenge with Ashlands 😄

[paper marsh]

shouldn't be too bad

[plush umbra]

ive actually found the new fallen valkyrie weapon to be very effective against large crowds

[rain flare]

YES!
Finally someone acknowledges one my favourite weapons in the game 🥰

[rain flare]

It’s the stagger and big swings my guy

[paper marsh]

the big swings are nice but I find it still fails to stagger some things and having -20% movespeed in Ashlands is just brutal

[rain flare]

Fast paced stabbing thrusts with the head of the axe to keep your enemies at bay (I’m looking at YOU Askvins)
With a nice big setting area of effect to push things away

[paper marsh]

I really want to like Battleaxes but at least until they get less of a movespeed penalty they feel ugh to me

[rain flare]

Put axe away = movement speed penalty begone 😂

They are kinda designed to be a big stick swinger - so you have to play around it - same as spears and their ridiculous attack spacing

[paper marsh]

But I like to have movement speed at all times, not lose it shortly before attacking and getting extra reduction from equipping/unequipping my weapon

I do find it very weird how atgeir and krom are -5% and battleaxe -20%

[rain flare]

I’m assuming the dev’s thought that the big metal bit on the one end was justified slow spood

Same on big hammer’s like demolisher

🔨

[vocal vale]

Axes are heavier than spears

[azure yacht]

Should be like -10% yes. Heavier than greatswords but still slower attack speed

[paper marsh]

10% could be good. Does a battleaxe made of a bit of wood and a fairly heavy metal/crystal head weigh more/much more than a sword that has a lot of metal distributed throughout it though?

[gusty blade]

true where is all the claw weapons, surely Chitin could be used for an earlier or later game one like the razor

[paper marsh]

I feel like three fist weapons (plus fists) would be enough for me to dedicate my life to them

I'd be okay with just like Mountains Mistlands Deep North

[graceful rose]

Sooo... with Ashlands out... do we know how many more major updates we expect ? Deep North is one for sure... maybe ocean will get its own life and boss ? is there any updated road map or something ?

[lunar sapphire]

Roadmaps haven't been a thing since the original one. Mind you though, could still have a roadmap without specific dates (like the first one did)

Essentially, roadmaps are tricky things with Early Access games

[graceful rose]

yes yes, i know. doesnt need to have dates. just curious how much more content they plan untill it wont be considered EA anymore.

[opal prairie]

A quick google shows that a typical longsword tends to be a bit lighter than a double bladed battleaxe but like max 1/3th of the weight less.
So there is a difference but not that big, so 20% slow compared to 5% is excessive.

[azure yacht]

Slayer looks heavy af and is still 5% after all

[vague field]

pretty sure deep north will be release

[paper marsh]

Since the battleaxes in game aren't really double bladed I'd imagine them to be about the same weight

[opal prairie]

Very close to each other yeah if we are talking one handed ones.

[paper marsh]

All that's guaranteed is Deep North yea although Ocean is possible before then. From my understanding of things they won't do any more significant content updates after the game launches (when deep north launches)

[graceful rose]

as i mentioned, i still hope they will do ocean its own biom with boss and fights on boats. that will be sick 😄

[paper marsh]

I think it'll be pretty unlikely ocean gets a boss. Probably just some smaller things

[azure yacht]

It's curious that most if not all one-handed weapons give a 5% move penalty... Which atgeirs and greatswords do as well.

Battle axes are the only ones with four times higher penalty despite being two-handed

||Another way would be to make atgeirs and greatswords have 10% penalty instead but I don't want them to get this idea lol||

[opal prairie]

Why talk about it then?

[steep girder]

Guess they could give more depth to the seafaring experience aswell, it's not bad but it's a bit boring sometimes sailing extreme distances (took me 28 minutes with ||Drakkar|| from Ashlands to center of the map with Moder power).. Alot of alt-tabbing was necessary

[azure yacht]

Maybe one-handed could not have movement penalty and even knives have a small buff to speed instead?

[azure yacht]

True, let me fix that

Done

[opal prairie]

I can still see it.

[azure yacht]

||spoiler tag||

[opal prairie]

Knives and bows no penalty to speed, one handed 5%, one handed and shield 10% and 2 handed 10%?

[vague field]

the relief of bonemass being in or near the swamp i set up my base at

[paper marsh]

That's what I'd like except keep movement penalty on Bow

[opal prairie]

Bows are light weight weapons most of the times as are knives so I would find it logical that you don't get a penalty for that.
The more weight or length a weapon gets the more unwieldy it becomes and the slower you go.

[flat zealot]

5 day(in game) of pure sailing

3 of them are all fog days

[flat zealot]

Can't even see the end of the boat

[vague field]

sailing in the fog is chil

but also frustrating cos you have no clue where you are

[gusty blade]

I hate fog so much, it ALWAYS appears when i'm looking for something

And it's not a rare, neat atmospheric thing, it's like every couple days

[paper marsh]

Maybe. I think I'm comparing them to knives when I should be comparing them to something like a mace or sword. No movement penalty could make sense (especially since you're slowed when firing)

I'd just want them to half bow skill perks or something first bc bow does not need a buff rn

Fog is so annoying on no map

[flat zealot]

at least I think I found the perfect plains for my new big base

[gusty blade]

Bow movement speed is fine, you can snipe things from any range why do you really need speed

[paper marsh]

Don't think it's as much need as it making sense, but in the end I don't think it changes much

[gusty blade]

like bows are so easy to cheese with I think the movement speed is fiiine

[vocal vale]

I think rolling around shooting things point blank in the face is the most fun way to use the bow

You don’t even need to cheese just roll

[flat zealot]

just also found odin by accident, man he's so big

[vocal vale]

Big?

[gusty blade]

I dont think the tower shield speed is though, or normal shield speed, like when you hold a melee with that it feels so awful
especially since on very hard shields become nearly useless

[regal spoke]

I don't always cheese but when I do I Atgeir

[paper marsh]

Hi NeQ

[wind prism]

anyone live in aisa and tryina join a new server

[flat zealot]

Huge compared to us

[paper marsh]

Bow does pretty insane up close once you have enough bow skill to just insta draw

[vocal vale]

Is there a new Odin ?

[flat zealot]

I don't think so but looking at him standing on the shore he was looking pretty big

[regal spoke]

Heya Snail. You well mate!?

[vocal vale]

the rapid firing while they’re staggered is good even before you’ve built decent charge speed tbh

[paper marsh]

I am indeed. You?

I gotta say tho parrying an archer then chucking your spear at them feels so good

[regal spoke]

I'm good thanks. You know I still need a spear montage in my life. I've asked Thread once or twice to make a short of it. Having watched a ton of his runs. He's got some sick shots

[opal prairie]

Staggering a troll with a bronze buckler then ripping it to shreds with the abyssal razor is also up there.
It just keeps getting staggered on the third hit and is therefor in a stunlock.

[vocal vale]

I haven’t seen anyone do the same spear throw knife lunge that snail does though

[paper marsh]

I miss parrying enemies on vhard though so I'm happy to be playing on hard now. You can get real creative with knife lunges though

[regal spoke]

Now that's tech. Throw spear for stagger. Swap to knife and lunge to close the gap. Ultimate warrior status

[paper marsh]

My favorite is still jumping at an enemy and parrying their projectile midiair then transitioning into a knife lunge as you land on them

[gusty blade]

bro im discovering some nutty tech right here what

[vocal vale]

Its hard to do it instantly like snail does it

You have to see it honestly

Because the knife comes out like as the spear leaves his hand

[shy marlin]

Wouldn't really matter that much tbh

[paper marsh]

I don't think it was that special I just threw a spear then jumped at the troll with a knife 😭

[vocal vale]

Ye but it was quick and I’ve seen you do it with more than that troll

Like combo quick

[regal spoke]

When you've gotten good enough to subconsciously perfect combat mechanics butt it's no big deal. -Snail

Lol

[flat zealot]

Almost died quarter of the map from my base

[vocal vale]

Oof

[paper marsh]

tbh I'm still learning to dodgeroll a lot of enemies

[flat zealot]

Never mind I think I'll be having an existential crisis

[regal spoke]

It's still the slow swingers that get me. Awkward timing

[flat zealot]

any way to back up a file..?

[vocal vale]

Shouldn’t have stopped to type??

[flat zealot]

I use the option called pause

[vocal vale]

This was a beautiful short story though

[paper marsh]

There should be some backups you can load up but tbh I'm not too sure how to do it all

Another option is enabling devcommands which allow you to quickly fly over to where you died and grab your gear

Or, be a viking and venture forth to reclaim what is rightfully yours!

[vocal vale]

I thought we only really had map back ups?

[flat zealot]

so, I lived but my long boat did not

[regal spoke]

You can teleport to specific coordinates too with cmd

[flat zealot]

no I think I will think of something, maybe just die to come back to home and make a new boat

[paper marsh]

Maybe you can scrounge up the resources for a portal (if you play with portals)

although I suppose that would require an open portal at home too

[regal spoke]

Snail fog on no map is brutal. It's the weird positioning while sailing that hurts for me. Can be locked in on a direction and constantly thrown off course while seemingly going straight. I noticed these course changes when going over the "zone lines"

[paper marsh]

Yea, I got lost a lot on no map lol

[opal prairie]

Something I always have, there needs to be an open portal at home so I can quickly put one down if needed.

[paper marsh]

Same

[clear comet]

S tier weapon

[flat zealot]

I have an open portal made just for this journey but I lost cores when my ship got sniped by growth unfortunetly

[paper marsh]

Frostner is meh for Mountain but very good for the next 2-3 biomes after mountains, surprisingly'

[opal prairie]

Ouch.

[paper marsh]

How did you lose them? Too dangerous to swim out and grab the boxes from the ship?

[regal spoke]

I get lost a bit myself. Tree and build piece are heavily relied on. I also don't hesitate to wait for clear weather/day time.

You and Germ still doing no-map?* Playing with map now feels to.. easy?

[flat zealot]

Yeah got the the shore with only 2 hp left, but not to worry Im just gonna grab stuff for new boat use a closer portal and get my stuff back so I can make a proper portal spot

[paper marsh]

No map no portals was an interesting portal that I definitely enjoyed because it made me switch things up, having to consider getting shelter for the night, not running out of durability and food, etc.

But it was also kinda frustrating/boring to me at times, so I'm fine with having map back. Current server I at least am trying to do limited portals, in that I can only place portals inside bases. So I have to build a decent base or outpost to put a portal somewhere, which I find pretty fun. No pocket portals

[regal spoke]

I get what you're saying. No portals was so much work. Carrying progress biome to biome. Fast and easy with a crew. But laborious solo.

Playing it safe on no map and knowledge of the tree makes no map almost trivial. But I see where your at

[azure yacht]

Could be. Although I forgot shields gave you penalty as well.

Maybe shields give 5%

Towers 10-20%

Bucklers 0%

I actually don't know why bucklers give speed penalty tbh

[plush umbra]

just found out something useful ||dying on a sinking lavaiathan stops the sinking||

[vague field]

how often do surtlings respawn at a geyser

[idle storm]

every 5 minutes iirc

[vague field]

oh my lawd

[idle storm]

you'll probably want more than one for an efficient coal farm

[vague field]

i thought it was supposed to be like really good TwT

[idle storm]

it is if you have 3-4 of them linked with portals.

[opal prairie]

Same with logging out if I'm not mistaken.

[rain flare]

Everyone, if you could use one weapon, and ONLY one weapon, (using axes to chop wood doesn’t count), which of the following would you choose?
I’m breaking things up by weapon skill tree, so weapons like axes/clubs/swords get dual-wielding or 2 handed variants.

Hands
Axes/Axes-2 handed
Swords/Swords-2 handed
Knives
Clubs/Clubs-2 handed
Spears
Polearms
Bows
Crossbows
Magic elemental
Magic blood
Traps/structures/bombs

[opal prairie]

Bows till I could get into magic elemental.

[turbid pollen]

Cheat Sword.

[idle storm]

spears until magic elemental for me

[rain flare]

🏹 = crossbow
= polearm
🦯= spear
🔥 = Magic Elemental

[paper marsh]

For an entire playthrough? Knives. Knives are fun and don't have many biome gaps

[high moat]

I've always been partial to clubs.

[plush umbra]

just tried and got dunked in lava

[tiny tiger]

Probably frostner since it hits so many enemy types

I don’t think there’s an enemy out there who is resistant to all 3 or even just frost and blunt

only problem might be drakes but a lil fjojnir mod could fix that

[paper marsh]

Drakes/Moder and golems are pretty tough with frostner yea

[tiny tiger]

I would love a spear rework so that it had a attack special attack and throw

but maybe that would be too multifunctional

[half dragon]

Just keep rolling and hope for the best

• Dark Souls/Elden Ring

[tiny tiger]

Troll with club attack where he slams the club down is my worst dodge timing

[half dragon]

I'd turn the spear into a proper ranged weapon instead, make it stackable weapon up to 5 and give it a proper melee move set

[paper marsh]

I kinda like the lack of combos on it. Less overall damage from a combo but more first hit damage makes it easier to stagger enemies on the first 1 or 2 hits, especially if you throw your spear at them before going in

[smoky quarry]

not very viking kek

throwing axes would an otption

[half dragon]

It's crazy how they aren't a thing, but puny poking stick is

[runic wind]

Does anyone know if in the new patch they added anything to fists

[vocal rivet]

#valheim-patchnotes

[paper marsh]

They did not :(

[runic wind]

thats so sad i was so excited

[paper marsh]

Same, although I expected there wouldn't be

[tepid fossil]

the vines from staff of the wild thlam hard

[flat zealot]

Just to make sure, tombstones either don't disapear or they take a long time to do it right?

[paper marsh]

I'm hoping we might get a deep north fist weapon but I'm not sure if that'll happen

[smoky quarry]

they don`t i believe

[paper marsh]

they don't

[flat zealot]

Lovely

Let's hope odin is merciful because it's to to get all my stuff back

[tiny tiger]

There used to be a bug where they disappeared but they fixed that years ago

[flat zealot]

Got me in the first half not gonna lie

[paper marsh]

There still is a bug where the tombstone disappears if you ragequit the game right when you die I think

[native garnet]

That's more user error tbh

[half dragon]

Skill issue

[flat zealot]

WE GOT IT

[worthy slate]

Hey, i was looking how to enable console on GFN and in one video there was a comment from "smiffy" saying "lol there is a much easier way we added console in chat window a while back specifically for GFN users". Any idea how to use that? To my surprise typing /devcommands in regular chat prompts a "devcommands: true" actually right now, but no clue how to use commands after that.

[frigid gust]

Bug = force closing a game before it writes data? 😛

[wraith sun]

have i been hunting serpents too much when i 9/10 times spot them before they render (can only see splashes in the water) and 9/10 times start the fight with a sneak attack? 😅

[frigid gust]

Please don't post the same thing to multiple channels, it makes things confusing

[icy sail]

there is higher Atgeir than mistland one? I feel kinda powerless on ashlands with atgeir 😦

[quiet locust]

Hi guys quick question can anyone confirm that once you kill the ashlands miniboss you have a chance of it invading your house?

[wraith sun]

is it that bad??? (even the fang spear, Mountain tier was good in plains before mistlands)

[plush umbra]

chickens have no stars

[icy sail]

there are somekind of skeleton warriors and resistant to pierce and there's tons of them

[plush umbra]

just a heat source, camp fire, hearth, brazier, anything really

you can put them on poles or hang them up to avoid burning your chickens

[frigid gust]

Don't believe so, no

[turbid pollen]

Does anyone else craft Bronze Pickaxe or should I skip it since I can just go to the Swamp and get the iron one?

[nocturne wolf]

I think antler is better than bronze because it can be easily repaired away from your base

[idle storm]

You'll be running back and forth constantly to repair in sunken crypts. Just making and using the bronze pickaxe over the antlers saves you more time than it takes to get the extra ores.

[frigid gust]

I will sometimes craft the bronze pickaxe if I'm bored, but I almost always have much better uses for the bronze.

[half dragon]

Bronze mines nearly twice as fast when it's upgraded, need to repair far less often and barely inconvenient to just quickly hop through a portal rather than building a small hut for a crafting bench... idk about you but for me it takes less time to hop twice through a portal

spending less time mining both bronze and iron would be pretty good use tho

doesn't matter much if you only make like 1 bronze axe and a few nails and tools... but if you make significant amount of bronze items, 100% pickaxe is worth it

[turbid pollen]

Now that I am in my second playthrough (stopped at Plains) I think it would be better to just skip straight to the iron pickaxe.

It saves you quite a lot of bronze which you can instead use to upgrade other stuff, I mean you can literally just craft three antler pickaxes and all of them combined have 300 durability which is far better than the bronze pickaxe.

I think in the early game, you only really need to mine one or two copper veins.

[ember panther]

Plus you can repair them at a workbench instead of a forge

[half dragon]

or you could save time and mine more...

[idle storm]

bronze pickaxe at level 4 has 270 durability while only taking 1 slot instead of 3. And still mines twice as fast.

[vocal vale]

The question is will the bronze pickaxe cross the hp threshold needed to be less swings per node

Copper node is only 50hp idk about muddy scrap

[half dragon]

don't mine just 1 node at the time...

that's thew noob strat. aim for 2 or 3 nodes

[turbid pollen]

Muddy scrap piles only have 5 hp, they can literally be one hit using any pickaxe.

[ember panther]

More whacks = more skill XP

[half dragon]

also more time wasted...

[ember panther]

And less stamina used per swing

[half dragon]

if you want to grind mininig xp I could recommend better ways

[idle storm]

especially when you only have 100 swings before needing to repair

[vocal vale]

Muddy scrap has 5 hp so all pickaxes are equal in mining them

[turbid pollen]

devcommands, cough cough

[half dragon]

except you can hit multiple nodes, again...

[vocal vale]

Oh I msged before I read the reply

[ember panther]

But you build a workbench lv1 anywhere with a shelter and bam. Ez repair

[half dragon]

you can put down a portal anywhere, even easier

[vocal vale]

Makes it seem like bronze pickaxe is only worth for mining bronze so ew

[turbid pollen]

Yeah, plus portal takes a few seconds to take you to your destination.

[half dragon]

you're still mining a good amount of iron with it

[ember panther]

16 wood vs 20 fine wood,cores and eyes.idk sounds like a waste of time

[vocal vale]

I guess base bronze pick does lower it from 3 to 2 hits per copper node assuming you have 100 mining

[half dragon]

do you seriously not bring a portal with you? and mine at night wasting time fighting more than half the time?

[ember panther]

I don't Portal metals so no

[dusty girder]

#mods-screenshots message Any idea why this does not work

[turbid pollen]

I can literally just mine one or two crypts worth of iron, craft the iron pickaxe as soon as possible and skip all that crap with the bronze pickaxe. Not only is it resource efficient but also time efficient.

[half dragon]

very doubtful about being time efficient unless you craft jack all bronze or iron...

[vocal vale]

You only need bronze for an axe cultivator and a fermenter anyway

[half dragon]

trust me, you wouldn't hate mining bronze nearly as much if you mined it nearly twice as fast like me

[frigid gust]

The bronze pickaxe makes sense after you get it to level 2 or higher, but that's still 30 copper and 15 tin to get it to that point. It's a lot of resources that I'd personally rather spend on my cultivator, bronze axe, atgeir, nails, etc. But if I'm in a group and someone wants bronze armor, it's probably worth the upfront cost.

[idle storm]

if you're building any amount of bronze tools and weapons getting the pickaxe first is almost guaranteed to be faster just from the time you save mining more bronze.

[turbid pollen]

It is efficient since you don't always have to portal back home to repair your bronze pickaxe everytime it breaks. You want to upgrade it? Well, you can waste 3-4 days mining copper veins when you run out of bronze. 3-4 days mining copper veins, portal which takes a few seconds to load- twice since you go back to your base, repair, then return to the crypt, etc.

[half dragon]

I've maxed out every piece of bronze gear once, thank god I didn't listen to the "just stick to the toothpick!" advice (first run)

[idle storm]

especially if you're building for multiple people

[frigid gust]

I see you haven't ever gotten stuck on a continent with limited tin...

[turbid pollen]

Literally me on my first playthrough, luckily my second save's seed is a godsend. The Black Forest is pretty large near the altar and it even had Haldor.

[half dragon]

bruh. mininig with bronze pickaxe I can usually mine 2 nodes per day, 1 only if the 2nd one isn't close enough or don't find one

[turbid pollen]

Bruh, just mine 1-2 copper veins, skip to the iron age with antler pickaxe, use the iron pickaxe you got from the Swamp to mine copper instead of bronze, which one is quicker?

[half dragon]

just skip the game, why even play

usually people want to actually get some damn weapons

[turbid pollen]

And you're wasting them on a pickaxe which you're going to throw away anyway once you get to the iron age.

[half dragon]

you'll also throw that iron pick away when you get black metal pick, just skip iron!

[vocal vale]

See ones required but the other isn’t

[dusty girder]

@pastel terrace i saw what you said and i did lil search in dev commands it still doesnt work even tho im admin on my own server

Just removedorps is Not a Valid in the current context

[wraith sun]

just skip all the bosses and go straight to mistlands for iron...

[idle storm]

You only need the iron pickaxe to mine obsidian and silver, neither of which is required for progression

[vocal rivet]

Devcommands don't work on dedicated servers, unless you use mods.

[dusty girder]

ooh

so i suppose drop it all on a server and then "delete" said server

[ember panther]

I like using lower level picks for digging holes cause the stamina usage scales pretty high with the higher tiers

Wolf trophy?

[tight yacht]

ahhh

[vocal vale]

That’s usually the hard one anyway

[tight yacht]

yep thats it, thanks

[plush umbra]

they should make golem trophy mandatory for progression

[vocal rivet]

Why?

is fall damage blockable with bonemass power?

[rain flare]

No

[frigid gust]

I have killed so many of those bastards in this last playthrough and they still haven't dropped one

[frigid gust]

Fall damage is capped at 100 health from a single fall, if that helps

Is it possible that my friend's grave disappeared when we updated the game

[cunning finch]

which set of armor do u guys like to use in ashlands so far

[rain flare]

Embla robes

Or new heavy set

[smoky quarry]

heavy everything

[charred gale]

anyone?

[tired mauve]

hello everyone

[frigid gust]

Not likely, unless the game crashed. Was his grave in or near the Ashlands or Deep North?

[smoky quarry]

not rly, one of my brothers graves is still up since fields. I made a shrine there

[charred gale]

In Ashlands but no crash

[cunning finch]

I've been using fenris set in previous biomes, but for ashlands feels like heavy armor is the better than light armor for once

[charred gale]

my grave was there but we can't find his

[tired mauve]

would be easy to find buddy here to play Valheim together?

[smoky quarry]

i always Only use Heavy

[tiny tiger]

How do you travel? I find it very tedious running around in heavy armor

[frigid gust]

Yeah... land was completely redone in the Ashlands, so it could possibly be buried or have fallen below the edge of the world. Your best bet would probably be to spawn in his appropriate gear.

[charred gale]

from pbt?

[frigid gust]

Oh... it was in the PTB? Then no, it shouldn't have disappeared

[smoky quarry]

swallowed by the world wyrm

[charred gale]

yes sure was

[tiny tiger]

My armor progression so far has been rag -> troll -> fenrir and then I’ve not yet made any mistlands tier armor but I’ll probably go with mage just to avoid the heavy speed penalty

[smoky quarry]

nothing passes my heavy behemoth

[tiny tiger]

Is the damage reduction worth it?

[smoky quarry]

i am a wall. And nothing passes

[frigid gust]

If you have the spare materials it's not a bad set of "rescue" gear for when you get overconfident with the Eitr set 😉 It's also likely going to be available much sooner based on resources.

[tight yacht]

so once you have wolfskin armor is there a reason to use frost resist mead?

[tiny tiger]

No

[charred gale]

We can't find it anywhere lol

[smoky quarry]

unless you need to recover your stuff and must pass mountain area

[tiny tiger]

It makes sense to still keep frost resistance mead as backup

[strange coyote]

save your mead for mountain side corpse runs

[tight yacht]

ah ok

[dusty girder]

would a dedicated even be something i host with a company ? or is everything thats not game offically related a dedicated server?

[smoky quarry]

if theres ever a fire resist cloak, then more useful
