[tiny tiger]

I’d love to host a valheim hardcore dedicated server

[vocal rivet]

I have no idea what you mean by 'game officially related'.

[tiny tiger]

But i need to get better at the game first

[smoky quarry]

..need to prepare better in-game

[tiny tiger]

Would anyone be interested in hardcore?

[dusty girder]

like some games have Offical game servers. and would anything thats not released by those or hosted via the same "offically" used hosting service be considered dedicated

[frigid gust]

There are no dedicated servers run by Irongate, or hosts that are officially recommended by them. The dedicated server application is freely available via Steam, though.

[vocal rivet]

Well, Valheim doesn't have official servers, so they're all privately owned/run.

[dusty girder]

idk im kinda Smoothed brained

[charred gale]

I also had 20 flametal in my grave from PBT before the update but when we updated it and launched it all this was missing

[smoky quarry]

a bucket of water would be a useful weap in ashland

even better, holy water

[flat zealot]

who would bless this water

[quiet locust]

does the mini boss invade event happen when you kill the boss or "hand in or create what it drops" meaning ashlands

[charred gale]

this game is cursed lol

graves be disappearing

[rain flare]

No raids for this

It's a once off miniboss - no repeatable or farmable aspects here

[quiet locust]

so it wont invade like brenna or any off the other miniboss

[rain flare]

Nope

[smoky quarry]

the Bees, of course

[flat zealot]

Fair enough

[icy sail]

any tips how to make 'floor' to flametal pilars overlava? this new stone is crap xd

[half dragon]

crap in what way?

[rain flare]

Bad structural integrity

[rain flare]

You don't - use basalt bombs

[half dragon]

can't build high with them?

[rain flare]

only thing that doesn't burn in lava is flameta

[rain flare]

yeah. and they burn in lava

[half dragon]

with how easy it is now to move around iron and other metal, probably not bad idea to make use of iron beams for structural integrity

[charred gale]

Can I use the explosive payload without anything

[plush umbra]

asksvin or ash cape?

[rain flare]

Nope

[charred gale]

awh

[rain flare]

feather for me

that or ash

[plush umbra]

i think feather cape created some bad habits for me so i want to switch

[vocal rivet]

Time to create a post in #1024264966712340510 That way it won't disappear in chat history.

[sinful hawk]

I bumped myself 🙂 thank you

[rancid nebula]

for the new biome update do you have to start a new seed to see the ashlands, like last biome update?

DND role play?

[vocal rivet]

... Valheim clearly.

[ember panther]

Dungeons and Dereks

[vocal rivet]

Heh. I'd normally be playing tonight too, but one of our party has a family medical emergency.

[tired mauve]

That is too sorry to hear

I hope they fine

[vocal rivet]

Thanks. I hope so too, he's been ill a while.

[livid gazelle]

you guys play DND valheim in here?

[vocal rivet]

No.

[indigo mulch]

I just beat Yagluth for the first time. What now? Do I pack all my stuff up and move to the mistlands, or just enough materials to build a wisp stone or whatever?

Any tips are welcome.

[sharp ravine]

build the wisp stone in your current base and get a whisp light

[rain furnace]

I built a smaller base on edge of mistlands to get a foothold. my main base is no where near mistlands, worked for me

[chilly zodiac]

anyone know if Forsaken power can stack with two different players?

[indigo mulch]

Does that work even if my base is in the meadows?

[frigid gust]

The same powers do not stack, but you can have multiple powers active at the same time from multiple players.

[silver osprey]

Anyone have any good mod recommendations want to be mainly vanilla but any quality of life to make the game better and less Grindy cause I wanna play with a few friends and we don’t wanna grind for too many hours for 1 armor set

[indigo mulch]

Just get a mod for 2x or 3x item drops and double carry weight. Same experience, just a quarter of the grind.

[frigid gust]

You don't need a mod for that, that is settings you can change in the base game

[silver osprey]

Really?

[sharp ravine]

yep (just has to be dark)

[silver osprey]

I’ve never been able to find them

[frigid gust]

Increased resource rate at least. There's still the normal carry limit. But you can build a cart 😉

[silver osprey]

Yeah idc abt weight

Resource limits the annoying bit

[frigid gust]

You need to hit the world modifier button before you load up the world, after you select it but before you start playing.

[sharp ravine]

Valheim+ has some options for that

[silver osprey]

I remember playing three people had to mine 5 swamps for full level 3 iron for 3 of us

[silver osprey]

Yeah Gotchu

Will do

[frigid gust]

If you need to discuss actual mods, that is probably better done in #mods-discussion . But play around with the world modifiers first to see if they are enough 😉

I personally use 1.5 X resources for my solo world, I feel that tends to be about the right amount without being too grindy. Try 2x before hitting 3x, it might be enough.

[silver osprey]

Might do like 4x cause I’m playing with 6 guys

[frigid gust]

I believe 3 is the max. When you have more people gathering, that should be more than enough. You shouldn't be doing all the work for them 😉 remember that it applies at the world level, so every single thing is multiplied. It turns into a lot more than you might think.

[fair cairn]

if you could go 6x yould be very much pissed at how much you get

[silver osprey]

In my full vanilla world with my friend we played a while back I just remember getting barley and iron was so tedious

[fair cairn]

almost think a graydwarf would give you 2 or three stacks of stuff

[silver osprey]

And getting good was a big pain as well

[viscid sorrel]

You probably want to build a “main” base that’s closer to edge of map. Probably near equator. Something that’s equidistant to lots of mistlands (that’s more prevalent in outskirts of map near equator)

Because you’ll be getting lots of black metal and iron, easier to ship to a new base vs travel all the way back to map center

[fair cairn]

1.5 is a great middle ground even for solo, still some work but much less

[azure yacht]

X2 and above is perfect for coop

[viscid sorrel]

Or at least build a forge elsewhere… then use teleports

[rapid bison]

There's likely some mods that periodically regrow trees, which can help with online. Don't know about ore deposits and dungeons though.

[azure yacht]

Wood is very renewable

[frigid gust]

Beech trees are self sustaining if you replant the seeds, and I believe pretty much all species are if you have more than normal resource rates.

The only thing that might not be is ancient wood, but you don't need much of that anyway

[fair cairn]

i dont think ancient bark has many uses in actual building does it?

[frigid gust]

Nope. Just the root armor, bonfires and long ship as far as I remember.

[nocturne wolf]

It's used in some weapons too

[viscid sorrel]

I mean, longships are so nice to have ~5 on hand

[modest sphinx]

has stamina consumption for fishing increased drastically?

because while traveling to another island i brought a rod and bait along with me and couldn't catch ANYTHING

[tiny tiger]

Not that I’ve noticed

What’s ur pc specs

[ember panther]

Fishing drains stamina super fast when catching bigger fish. I try to walk them on shore and keep my casts short

[tiny tiger]

Looking at posts online regarding mistlands, many players have noticed that after using the mistbegone mod the fps improves noticeably so I imagine the mist must be causing the majority of the lag for you

Another solution is bringing draw distance way down

I also recommend seeing if your graphics drivers need updating, I did see mine need an update today

[hallow imp]

guys how do i summon the first boss in game

[frigid gust]

You have some deer trophies? Put them in a slot in your hotbar and use them on the altar

[hallow imp]

i have 2

[frigid gust]

"Sacrifice his kin"

[merry pebble]

2 should be enough 🙂

[hallow imp]

alright thanks

wait on what do i have to put it

[frigid gust]

Did you go to the altar? The red guidestone (vegvisir) in the center of the tall stones where you started should point you to his altar

[hallow imp]

oh alright i will go right now

[frigid gust]

You will find more of those red stones in dungeons and such in other biomes in the world, and they will point you to their associated forsaken.

[normal galleon]

Question, does anyone know what the "Lightning" (blue) weapon effect actually do?

[frigid gust]

Just does damage, and a high stagger amount I believe.

[azure yacht]

Chain Lightning

[frigid gust]

Ahh, right. That, if you're talking about the weapons in the Ashlands 😉 You can do lightning damage with the Himmnafl before that though.

[normal galleon]

Yeye, I was talking Ashlands

Alright, thanks! I'll try out the lightning then 😁

[maiden granite]

#screenshots message
finding both at this stage is really good, unless you used a seed generator

[tame mirage]

Do starred asksvins spawn more commonly at night?

[oak walrus]

It took 3 days, 7 boats, blood, sweat and a lot of tears... like a lot of tears for me and my bro to finally succesfully get in the ashlands without dying... it took way too long

[paper marsh]

Yay!

[viscid sorrel]

U know u can craft a new boat with queen reward yea?

But u gotta get some rocks from those Ashland pillars to craft it (edit: don’t even need the pillar materials !)

[merry pebble]

no? you can craft it without any ashlands materials afaik

[frigid gust]

You make the upgrade station for the artisan table with the Queen's drop, and then make the needed material with black marble at the artisan table.

[nimble scarab]

how can you stop a greydwarf nest to spawn mobs?

[oak walrus]

Yes that is the boat i am talking about, its just that 4 of them sank on the beach because of charred skeletons, 2 only made it halfway (one of them is still floating somewhere between the spires near the coast and one sank i believe) and only 1 made it, well it got destroyed too but we lived!

[azure yacht]

By destroying it

[tame mirage]

Dang thats a lot of iron and yggdrasil to be sacrificed

[nimble scarab]

can a building like workbench stop it?

[azure yacht]

Nope

[viscid sorrel]

Thanks for clarification y’all

[oak walrus]

Yup, 175 yggdrasil, 700 iron nails and 350 fine wood... damn that sounds bad and we only found the remains of one of our ship, though we didnt find the nails so basically we used 700 iron nails, 150 yggdrasil and 300 fine wood.

[grand trench]

bro...

u single handedly caused deforestation of the mistlands

[oak walrus]

I know... i should go scavenge the beach in hopes of finding something atleast

[grand trench]

def do, me and my friend lost a ship but managed to recover some things

[tame mirage]

If there wasn't a workbench nearby and it got destroyed, most definitely the mats despawned

[oak walrus]

To be exact it was my friend who got all the yggdrasil, he did deforest our nearest forest in the meadows right when we started the game... with a flint axe

[oak walrus]

We... lost... 7...

[oak walrus]

Damn...

[grand trench]

try to recover somthing if u can

[oak walrus]

We'll try

[viscid sorrel]

Bro

[grand trench]

I serious wish u luck, that sucks so bad

[oak walrus]

Thx, it did suck indeed

[grand trench]

also if u haven't craft the mistwalker

[tame mirage]

But also the water in the ashlands is boiling, and if you stand it for longer then like 15 seconds, you'll almost instantly die

[viscid sorrel]

We made it to Ashlands in longship

Just fine a pillar that’s not in boiling water, and jump from pillar to pillar until land

[main geyser]

why cant u teleport the iron pit lmao 😭

[oak walrus]

Yup i know that, got to experience it when 3 bonemaws did afwul things to our ship

[junior forge]

The game should add a troll rug

[oak walrus]

Im using a lvl3 krom

[grand trench]

oh, the krom really isn't that good for ashlands tbh

[tame mirage]

The mistwalker or the frostner are great weapons to enter the ashlands with.

[oak walrus]

Ik, my ego is too big. I must wield the biggest sword i can get my hands on

[grand trench]

fair, my dark souls spirit applauds u

[viscid sorrel]

Bro u just lost 7 ships u ain’t got no ego left

[oak walrus]

My ships remains may burn in the boiling waters but my ego's flame will never be extinguished!

[viscid sorrel]

Bro ur ego evaporated in boiling coast of Ashlands

7 Drakars ago

[lament briar]

What if we could loot the moss drapes from Trolls and use them as curtains?

[half dragon]

Ego used septuple down
It's super effective!

[lament briar]

Give em a little wash...

[half dragon]

We have totally not sus sausages from undead, where's the meatballs?

[lament briar]

We should have been able to make deer and boar sausages

Those would be much, much tastier.

Imagine a butchery skill where you could take the time to butcher a corpse and obtain more loot from it. Boar tusks could make excellent daggers or knives

[merry pebble]

tbh, it really is weird that swedish game doesent have meatballs

[lament briar]

Asksvin meatballs?

Also why isn't dragon meat a thing? ... nah, they're too sinewy.

Also why does it take several lox meat to make a pie? Have you ever seen a lox leg hanging from the iron hooks?

[azure yacht]

Two isn't that much

[lament briar]

Wait. How do you lose a ship? Just encase a workbench in some stone

[rain furnace]

These are the questions that keep me up at night 😂

[lament briar]

Like. A lox leg and thigh is as tall as YOU. How the HELL is that not enough to make one pie?

Also I kinda wish chicken and dumplings could be a stamina food

Chicken, Carrot, onions, dough

[tulip cosmos]

how come my viking will only make sausage casing via zombie guts :p

[lament briar]

I want boar and deer intestines for my sausages. They taste better.

Lox sausages

[nocturne wolf]

How do you know??

[lament briar]

Would you rather have the intestines of a human rotting for thousands of years in a filthy swamp or those of a freshly-killed deer that ate nothing but grass and shrubbery in the meadows and forest?

[half dragon]

Nah, rotting entrails sound good. Have you seen how good it looks?

[nocturne wolf]

Can’t be that bad when it’s cooked right

[lament briar]

Unsophisticated barbarians. The Thistle covers it all up!

Now how about lox Entrails? They eat flax and cloudberries. Think of how sweet and delicate the crunch of the sausage casing must taste.

Wait. Why can Lox not be starred but Asksvin can?

[strange arrow]

4000 hp would just be far too OP for everything

[lament briar]

Yet they still fall to deathsquitos

Imagine if we could put armor on Lox. Ride them into battle!

That would take a lot of resources, though... but we could armor them in serpent scales for pierce resist!

Drakkar is huge, oh my lord... it better carry twice the amount of space for being twice the size.

Hell, it looks like it could fit two storage spaces.

[ocean girder]

Just to clarify, places on the map in meadows that show trees on the map will regrow trees naturally over time right? As opposed to the hills that don’t naturally grow saplings?

[near furnace]

no

no trees in valheim regrow naturally

only rocks and branches on the ground does

[ocean girder]

That’s silly, how come the map doesn’t update then?

Is it too much for the map to be updated? Asking genuinely

[lament briar]

Is it possible for a single person with Queen's buff to mine an entire flametal deposit?

I just wish they didn't make the deposit sink forever.

[merry sun]

early acess

[near furnace]

because the minimap updating for everything you do. would be very costly when it comes to performance

and also. those minimap / map pictures are just a image showing you which biome you're in mostly

[fair wedge]

Anyone have thoughts on the iron battleaxe?

[ember panther]

It's expensive to build but fun. I enjoy baxe

[nocturne wolf]

It’s good if you’re jump attacking, otherwise you’re too vulnerable

[ember panther]

Atgier probably better tho

[nocturne wolf]

Atgeir is always better

[ember panther]

The battleaxe is just really slow but it's a satisfying weapon to use

[surreal furnace]

Is Black Forge level 5 the highest right now?

[normal galleon]

Yes

[surreal furnace]

Dang, I assumed there would be more so I farmed so much flametal

[ocean girder]

If you're playing with friends, it's a really solid for crowd control, since it has high knockback and a big damage cone

[lament briar]

What does everyone think of a hammer toss secondary attack for a 2h mace?

[ocean girder]

Idk tbh I think the hammer alt attack would make more sense if it were something like an uppercut

Yknow, something that would funnel the AOE damage into something more single target

[lament briar]

I have a suggestion like that

Depending on how long you spin, you do more damage, but less splash radius

[ocean girder]

I mean more like a bigger version of the frostner alt attack

[lament briar]

So if you want to kill that specific creature, spin 3 times. If you want to play bowling, spin once.

[ocean girder]

I'm not particularly sure that kind of attack would hold a place in a game like valheim where all the attack animations are more simplistic, and more realistic

[lament briar]

You can throw a spear. Let's hammer throw.

[ocean girder]

Well, spears are made for throwing, but I cannot see a person-even a viking-throwing a giant hammer that already is difficult for them to swing

[lament briar]

That's why you spin to gain momentum

[ocean girder]

Have you tried spinning with a 15 pound sledge before?

[ember panther]

Yes. It wouldn't do a lot of damage. Or have any accuracy

[lament briar]

Then how about we just make this a weapon in and of itself? Viking make chain and ball of iron. Viking throw. Viking happy.

[vocal rivet]

The shot put is 16 pounds.

[ember panther]

One hit to stop you and you'll fall over

[ocean girder]

I'd think you'd fall over after releasing anyways, given that you'd need to lean way back to create a sustainable centre of balance

[lament briar]

Perhaps that could be another stagger animation? Maybe staggering after throwing the ball

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe it could just be a spin attack. like the atgeir but slower, ignores some knockback resistance (so maximum knockback isn’t too high but resistant enemies will go further than expected) and has high recovery time? Maybe a multi target penalty too

[lament briar]

Will it do more damage?

[ocean girder]

Hear me out on this, put the head on the ground and spin, only does 1/4 dmg but does double stagger dmg

[lament briar]

I feel horrible for atgeir/bow and even spear users this update. Completely invalidates them.

Frostner supremacy reigns.

[ocean girder]

How come? enemies have pierce resist?

[lament briar]

Nearly everything, yes.

[ocean girder]

Ah well

[nocturne wolf]

I think being able to knockback resistant enemies would make sledgehammers more useful because they don’t seem that great for anything to me

[lament briar]

Speaking of 2h, how well does demolisher deal with Ashlands creatures? I'm thinking I could just spam the attack while my buddies wail on them

[ocean girder]

I mean, just look at the last biome, at least there's a damage type they don't resist!

[lament briar]

Forst

[ocean girder]

I just mean the bugs resisting all physical

[lament briar]

Also spirit damage really doesn't matter if it's damage over time. When you're swarmed, you want the creatures dead yesterday.

I wish spirit damage was instant like Frost. It's bad enough the majority of creatures are immune to spirit.

Also, the new fire sword is extremely underwhelming. 10 fire damage? Really? What's that going to do?

[strange arrow]

mild sunburn

[lament briar]

You know what has more fire damage than Dyrnwyn? A torch.

And it gains no fire damage on upgrades. What the hell?!

[nocturne wolf]

I think the fire damage on dyrnwyn is just to give enemies the fire debuff, the high slash allows it to stagger well and deal decent damage to the fire resistant enemies of the ashlands

[lament briar]

It seems more like the Frostner of Deep North. Supposed to take care of fire-weak monsters, but it just...

It's on fire but it only does 10 fire damage

Brenna's sword does 75 fire damage. Why can't we just have her fire Krom instead?

I dislike DOT damage. It just doesn't HIT.

[strange arrow]

mobs should look like you dropped a bonfire on them after every hit

[lament briar]

Unsure if /s or genuine

[strange arrow]

yeh kidding

[lament briar]

Also why no lightning staff?

Ooo, what if we had a Staff of Thunder that deals lightning damage but applies a wet debuff as a secondary attack? POCKET WATER

[strange arrow]

if they buffed the fire aspect they'd only take it away somewhere else anyway

[nocturne wolf]

Lightning shotgun > Lightning staff

[lament briar]

Water shotgun + lightning shotgun

I bet you water attacks would be viable. Charred enemies would hate them.

[nocturne wolf]

That could work for my suggestion of dual-wielded magic shotguns?

[strange arrow]

hosepipe*

[ocean girder]

what if we had a chronomancer staff that reverts the enemies back into foetesus

[nocturne wolf]

Bukeperry staff to slow enemies and reduce their max hp

[lament briar]

Syrpyntspout could be the name of the water gun

[lament briar]

I bet that's what powers the fuling mages' staff. They're always carrying bukeperries.

[nocturne wolf]

Enemies that can apply bukeperries debuff would be perfectly balanced for the final biome of Valheim

[lament briar]

Oh god no

[ocean girder]

Anybody know when we’re getting that ocean rework

[vocal rivet]

Nope, no idea yet.

[ocean girder]

Can’t wait for a kraken enemy

[strange arrow]

maybe we finally see that spectral armor

[lament briar]

I wish we had frost bolts. Screw pierce damage. Eat icicles, you fiend.

[gleaming snow]

ayo looking for some input. Been hatching on a build idea for a while but been waiting for ashlands to do it, wanna build a super large tower. gonna use mainly black marble and end result will look similar to the tower of orthanc from lotr. however curious on input as to if I should build the tower on land or in the ocean, one thing to note is I will be using commands to spawn a stone spire for extra structure support so I can build a taller tower overall

[low crypt]

sap collectors work when they are not loaded in right?

[steel copper]

yes

[low crypt]

got it

i just went through my sap farm and the roots were full but the collectors barely collected anything

i assume because the root was not loaded in when it filled up

[steel copper]

once the roots are dry it takes some time to refill

[low crypt]

they were refilled

and the thing was they were all pulsating with energy

the first one was stopped but once i went back to the area later it filled up

i assume the roots were defaulted to empty as the area was unloaded

[lament briar]

I wonder if you need to be within the presence of the sap collectors, similarly to how you need to remain within a certain distance of tamed creatures for them to breed.

[low crypt]

i dont need to as the one that was loaded in with a full root filled up when i checked again

so its most likely that the roots were not loaded in as full

and hopefully they will work now

[vocal vale]

Ocean view

[lament briar]

I hope the devs consider my suggestion that makes flametal deposits temporarily sink into the lava.

[vocal vale]

Or top of a Mountain View especially on a seed with those insanely tall mountains

[vocal vale]

Big doubt considering there’s other sources

[tall citrus]

Any builders around at the moment? I have a very silly question as I can't get a very basic build's proportions

[gleaming snow]

whatcha got?

[tall citrus]

May I pm you as I can't post a reference picture here

[gleaming snow]

you think so? it would be harder to do ocean but overall in the end it would be good on performance. less lag for a large build in the ocean than on land

[vocal rivet]

#building-screenshots would work.

[gleaming snow]

you could post in one of the building channels, #building-screenshots or #building-discussion

[tall citrus]

Oh, for some reason I didnt activate seeing all channels, I gues. Only valheim chat was visible to me

Did post it now

on #building-screenshots as the other one doesn't accept pictures, either

[paper eagle]

For the swamp biome is the sword with the shield better or the mace with the shield when you start off i still have bronze

Sword just looks cooler i think 🧐 but someone told me mace is better but the stats look the same

[foggy glacier]

more things are weak to blunt in swamp.

mace is technically better.

[pliant hatch]

From own experience:

Sword works great against Draugr.
Mace works great against skelletons, blobs, oozers and Bonemass. And works good against Draugr.

[foggy glacier]

mace also has a better secondary for dealing with leeches. it's a trick with the sword.

[pliant hatch]

For leeches I use a bow with wooden arrows.

Makes it a lot easier to kill them, without having to fear getting bitten and having to deal with the poison damage they do.

[foggy glacier]

I used to do that, usually now I just use the secondary on the axe, since it's got the downard swing as well.

you can hit them from shore with it.

[paper eagle]

Word thanks for the tips i appreciate it

[junior forge]

Do you guys got any beautiful seeds you guys would rec

Recommend*

[paper eagle]

My seed is ass ngl my second boss is was right next to the plains everytime i was fighting him little goblins game running up swaushing me

[vocal rivet]

You could have always looked for anothe altar.

[pliant hatch]

I'm currently playing at a seed called Landfall, which has the advantage that the first 5 bosses are at the same large continent.
However, the Queen is quite a distance away from everything; although she does have one location which is quite close to the coast.

[vocal vale]

Not exactly clear for a player that there even is multiple of the same altar

[vocal rivet]

That's a fair point.

[paper eagle]

Yea idk how to find multiple only one but i eventually got it after like 6 deaths at least i know where the plains is now

[tepid pike]

I'm very fond of Haldor1 .. so many pretty build locations

[junior forge]

Ill check it out

[vocal vale]

The rune tablets that give their location give the closest altar so you can always travel far from the altar hoping for a rune stone to give another location. Alternatively there’s the world see viewer online but that’ll spoil your world for you

If you found the first one east of spawn you could always go west there’s a good chance there’s another somewhere

[paper eagle]

Ah i see i was wondering how i saw some pictures and there was multiple spawn name locations i did end up traveling quite a ways and was looking at other rune tablets but i think they were saying location already marked

[merry sun]

So many new players this days

[vocal rivet]

Yep, the new update brought in a lot of new folk. Good for the game.

[merry sun]

i Hope they enjoy that game how much I enjoy it until today

[dusty girder]

#building-ideas message Flattening went perfect spent an extra 4 Hours on it then i thought i would have xD Not its perfectly Flat everywhere

[junior forge]

That haldor1 seed is so similar to mine it is almost uncanny same mountains in same place execpt different land shapes and random oceans also some biomes missing even haldor is only somewhat a bit away from he is on my seed and the entire northwest of the main continent is the exact same 💀

Is this normal with other seeds?

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, each map is basically cookie cut out of a master map.

[merry sun]

isnt that normal

[vocal rivet]

What?

[merry sun]

but could happen eventually

[dusty girder]

same world generation so id expect it to be the same but with different "Features"

[merry sun]

Mine seeds and friend seeds are completely different, expected from a procedural generated world

[vocal rivet]

Yes, the master map is a fair bit larger than the game map so potentially you could have less overlap.

[dusty girder]

what is the "Master map"

[vocal rivet]

The map that all other maps are taken from.

[dusty girder]

so the same world generator. ? or am i missing something

[merry sun]

did we got the master map seed?

[vocal rivet]

There is no seed.

[merry sun]

imagine

playing the "original" map from Valheim

[dusty girder]

ok so your saying the entire "Map" that every other map is combined from is not considered "Master map" in every other game just imagine Minecraft there is no "Master map" in that game and not here aswell its all randomally generated

thats atleast how iv "grasped" it with my limited info

[merry sun]

Ye, we got some default padrons

Like certain biomes only appearing after some meters

[dusty girder]

but its atleast first time iv heard the world Master map could be an amazing "Lost world" dlc in the coming future should Trade mark it for sure

[vocal rivet]

How would remotely work? The master map is much larger than the game is.

[lunar sapphire]

If I'm correct it's essentially the map generating system. The system requires Island presets for it to choose from and "randomly" select islands to use + place them in a seed.

but I could be wrong here

[dusty girder]

oooh that could be. but wouldnt they just randomally generate that aswell with 1's n 0's

[lunar sapphire]

lost me at randomly generate

[merry sun]

Valheim does really got less Gigabytes than other games

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, the map is not randomly generated, the map is taken from the master based on the seed number, then the biomes are determined and then the POIs.

[junior forge]

Look at seeds ZgqJbZSLMz and Haldor1 at https://m.valheim-map.world/ they look almost similar it’s like looking at a continent break up

[dusty girder]

the "master map" they just feed it data. for it to generate mountain highs etc and valleys. i wouldnt assume they had a map for everything just that its generated

[vocal rivet]

I give up. I'm not assuming anything.

[dusty girder]

Okey. You can give up but im atleast trying to understand.

[lunar sapphire]

There isn't assuming going on, the information is factual/definite 😛

[vocal rivet]

Well, no, I've told you X and then you said, but it could be Y.

[dusty girder]

sorry if my autistic ass didnt understand you actually trying to explain it. i thought it was a discussion. Please dont be a teacher

[lunar sapphire]

Let's be civil please

All here to help that's all

[merry sun]

Like, Procedural generated wolrds arent a new thing

[vocal rivet]

I don't believe anyone said they were new. But they're not all created the same way.

[lunar sapphire]

For me to enjoy a survival game, the game needs to have proc gen

[merry sun]

It shouldn't be so hard to understand

[lunar sapphire]

If anything, Valheim's proc gen systems are different compared to other games

but I don't tap into the proc gen systems as much as others here so I can't say

[junior forge]

Darkfanta1 is also similar

[merry sun]

what are that seeds names dude

[vocal rivet]

What are which seed's name?

[vocal vale]

Is this still about the master seed?

[merry sun]

Unique experiences are the best part for survival games

[vocal vale]

It would be cool to play a valheim mod that combines all the seeds

Just have the most insanely large map

[vocal rivet]

Eh, it wouldn't be that different from normal, it would just be a fair bit larger.

[merry sun]

i Def would play it

[lunar sapphire]

weird, I didn't get the orange box. Did you silent ping me? I assumed people still got the orange box in chat even with the reply ping disabled

[vocal vale]

That’s the point though

[merry sun]

I can do that If you want xd

[lunar sapphire]

there we go

[vocal vale]

More resources and space for a community

[vocal rivet]

Oh, yeah, it would suit a larger player group for sure. The current world is sorta balanced for 5-6.

[merry sun]

No, you dont get the Orange box If i turn It off

[vocal vale]

I like those servers where you can find bases from 50 different people

The only issue is looking for your own spot

[lunar sapphire]

Interesting, completely missable then

[merry sun]

eh, many worlds does not got many big meadows

[west pulsar]

Meadows make me sad

[merry sun]

lol

why?

[snow badge]

i cannot start valheim on old save if i updated it?

[merry sun]

wait 5 minutes

[snow badge]

will all updates be there if i dont sart over? does it bug the game out

for example cyberpunk required new save game to run dlc .... was just curious igot one pretty good save i kinda wanna play it...

[merry sun]

Ye, just dont explore unfinished areas

Like Deep North

[teal tiger]

You'll be fine unless you built on the new zones before they were updated, in which case... You'll still be fine. Just your buildings won't be.

[snow badge]

wait i thought that full game is out now?

[merry sun]

the Ash update, yes

[pliant hatch]

Depends at how much you have discovered and where you have build.

If you have discovered Ashlands before the update, it may not regenerate the way it has to be.
If you've build there or build too close to it, the buildings may be destroyed.

But if you haven't been there, things will update the way it should.
Only "problem" you may run into is that undiscovered locations may have moved away from where they were before the update.
Up to now I'm certain some boss locations and locations for Hildir's Quest are affected.

[foggy glacier]

Can confirm that last.

[merry sun]

You just need some minutes to load First time joining in new Biome update

[pliant hatch]

As for Hildir's quest: best way to solve that is to visit her and check her map again.
New locations of the dungeons / towers may be added to your map; making it possible to complete her quest again.

[merry sun]

ok i give up

[livid widget]

I found a Draugr camp in meadows. Do they respawn once the corpse piles are clear?

[foggy glacier]

if you destroyed the body piles, no.

[smoky quarry]

you can leave the piles alone, and place balistae facing them, farm guts

[livid widget]

I destroyed them, yep. Don't ask me how I did it, I just did it. It was hard.

[foggy glacier]

Why are you farming guts if you're already using ballistae? Sincerely curious.

[smoky quarry]

sausage must flow

[foggy glacier]

lol ok. I'm a pie man, myself.

[pliant hatch]

Might as well raid all the infested mines.
Plenty of sausages to find in there.

[teal tiger]

Dear Odin,

Please don't visit me in the Swamp at night again.

Signed,
A Viking that has to change his pants now

[foggy glacier]

LOL

[pliant hatch]

Pro tip: Wear the leather pants when going into the swamp.
Makes it easier to hide the brown stain. 😉

[kind pendant]

Guys, i might be a little late, but there’s a fallen valkyrie weapon??

I saw a discussion about it earlier

[west pulsar]

Comedy club for this guys

[shy marlin]

That is wild 💀

[worthy slate]

What is the best ammo for the ballista

[pliant hatch]

Wooden missiles are cheap and easy to make, black metal does the most damage.

Given that wood is somewhat easier to come by as black metal, I prefer the former.

[buoyant lake]

I finally got the wilds staff and I am insanely impressed

[west pulsar]

What prompted this

And i find black metal to be easy to farm tbh

[azure yacht]

Wrong message

[livid widget]

are there only 2 vendors in the world?

[azure yacht]

#valheim-chat message

[livid widget]

just found Haldor

[azure yacht]

But really the only reason why you would ever use wooden missiles is just to train block skill as black metal is infinite and plentiful while still allowing to craft a much stronger missile

[livid widget]

Does haldor not give a quest?

[azure yacht]

No, that's hildir

[buoyant lake]

You can train block skill with the turrets?

[azure yacht]

They target you so yes.

Just hold block while they keep shooting at you

[buoyant lake]

Sick

[teal tiger]

Wait they target you? 😆 Making me think twice about making one when I unlock them again lol.

[azure yacht]

Override the targeting with trophies

[teal tiger]

That sounds kinda poopy though, there's too much variation in biome & boss raids.

[ornate sigil]

To my understanding Haldor in the blackforest doesn't but the other vendor (Hildir) does.

[livid widget]

ok

[azure yacht]

Good thing you can build many to solve that issue

[vocal rivet]

Too MUCH variation? That's a new one.

[strange arrow]

what were they hoping for? surtlings every time?

[azure yacht]

Why is this game so epic? I wanted it to be boring and repetitive ffs.

I literally CAN play like this...

Well I just found out that the asksvin cape helps with swimming...

It increases the swimming speed notably

Also asksvin cape + fenris set makes me feel like a cat at 3 am

[vestal knoll]

Does valheim have a current roadmap?

[south dagger]

who has the valheim server called "hide yo iron bars yall" lol

[vocal rivet]

No, all we know is that Deep North will be the final biome. There's an expectation of another update to the Oceans but we have no idea how much that will entail.

[buoyant lake]

I have a one star asksvin

and its eatin some fiddle hejads but it aint tamin

[marble delta]

Anyone run into Hildir’s locations not spawning?

Went to Howling Caverns spot and there’s nothing there

[vocal rivet]

Did you have them marked before the update?

[marble delta]

Meaning Ashlands?

Oh maybe, damnit. Do I do it again?

[fossil salmon]

bats vs two star wolf...

[vocal rivet]

POIs (points of interest) tend to move after updates, so you'll need to trigger her again probably.

[marble delta]

Thanks!

[snow goblet]

Just came upon an active dverger mining outpost, can I safely mine the armor and bone within their vicinity w/o them aggroing us?

[rain furnace]

scariest biome for me is plains, before I'm ready for it. the deathsquitos are no joke. mountains with no cold protection is dicey too

deathsquitos attacking your wee boat as you sail by in lower levels always makes my butthole pucker

[stuck wave]

carry a bow with you, generally finewood or better with whatever arrows you want. Keep ears open and eyes peeled. sneaking in the plains early on can help you get the drop on d-squitos before they do you. in an emergency, you can parry their attack with a good shield and food, or just hit them with your melee with good timing

generally I wait til they stop, or start coming for me before I loose an arrow, which will always kill them (citation needed)

if sailing past the plains, I always recommend staying fed. The health can help you survive a hit from a squito or the pufferfish that like to jump into boats. Travel through the water fast, or far from shore if you don't feel prepared for squitos

[marble delta]

not sure this works...I might be screwed?

[lone ember]

if i load a old world can ashlands be imported? (barely explored the world)

[ocean girder]

no, when it's generated the first time, thats it

[nimble notch]

Do you get your surtling cores back if you need to move your kiln and furnace?

[shy marlin]

Yes

[nimble notch]

Okay good, last time I played you didn't, but I figured it had been a few years.

[snow goblet]

so, my friend and i have gotten plenty of ||soft tissue, black marble, and just started extracting sap,|| but where do we continue from there? how do we craft the workbenches?

[shy marlin]

|| Black cores are the thing you need, check out some more infested mines ||

[buoyant lake]

if the asksvin does not show a tame % when i mouse over it does that mean it isn't taming?

[cursive onyx]

Do the fortresses not have ||flametal anymore since the ptb? Just did two and no metal ||

[buoyant lake]

mine still do

[grizzled holly]

Do creatures drop the same amount of loot every time? For example, I have killed about 10 greylings and each one dropped exactly 3 resin. I do have mods installed, idk if that effects it or not tho.

[shy marlin]

More than likely mods

What's your resource rate world modifier at tho

[grizzled holly]

It's at 1.5x

[dusty girder]

thats not bad. so its about 1-3 each Kill you just got lucky

[grizzled holly]

Picking flint, stone, and so far creature drops all have a "set" drop from my gameplay so far

[shy marlin]

Most you should get on 1.5x tho is 2 resin per greydwarf

[fair wedge]

I’m finally ready to start building my first castle on my new world

[drowsy sorrel]

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

break and move it to a new location*

[errant acorn]

is there a way to force a felled tree to fall in a certain direction?

[rain flare]

You lose it

[steel sandal]

seems witch ever way you are chopping the tree will fall that way

[small raven]

Anyone know how long it takes the new beast to mature from a hatchling?

[errant acorn]

It fell directly onto my head and bounced off my walls

[steel sandal]

holy then i just must be lucky alot of the trees i choped down have always fell in the direction i was chopping

exception being if i was on a hillside

[frozen jewel]

can som one tel me haw to teleport using the dev camands?

[teal tiger]

I make this mistake every time I play, lol. I get super excited after defeating Bonemass, knowing I'm (mostly) done with Swamp... Then I get steamrolled running into the Mountains lmao.

[dawn void]

Have you always been able to plant Jotun Puffs and Magecap?

[tranquil sigil]

Hey guys, anyone has a good seed recommendation?

[fossil salmon]

htsE7kJL5K The Challenge, just get off the island with a fresh character

[merry pebble]

Tho there is not as much seeds there as it used to be you can still look through #1202740443352137838 😄

[tranquil sigil]

Yeah I looked into it, but most of them are pre-Ashlands, wouldn't this modify the layout of the map, at least partially?

[upbeat bison]

hey idk where to ask this but where would i ask for someone to teach me how to play valheim again. i played like once a couple months back and i dont remember anything :(

[nocturne wolf]

Some things such as boss spawns will be in different places but biomes and terrain shouldn’t be different

[rain furnace]

check the LFG channel, start a fresh run and play with others. good place to learn

[upbeat bison]

okie tysm <3

[rain furnace]

yup, have fun!

[dusty girder]

how do i turn up gamma for the game i find it quite dark and my screen brightness is on 100%

[tepid pike]

try turning SSAO off

[dusty girder]

i did. didnt see a difference

Just noticed Skill issue... i got the wrong motior xD Please let me live this down

and incase someone wants to Join my dedicated server to Join build stuff. im more then happy to give you the IP. if this is the wrong server to say that my bad 🙂

[errant acorn]

how does enemy waves determine where they're allowed to spawn?

[lavish bane]

Like in a raid or in general?

[errant acorn]

During a raid, id imagine. When you get a message on your screen and a red circle around you

[fair cairn]

when your in the circle they spawn, if your not only the spawned ones will hunt you, if your too far away, the raid timer is paused
onces inside ony a specific amount will spawn and as they die, more will spawn to fill the number allowed at once

with troll raids i think only 2 are allowed? or was it 4?

[errant acorn]

Where do they spawn though? If you have a wide enough base can they spawn inside walls?

[lavish bane]

Through my play throughs, when I have a big base they spawn outside of a building. Though depending on the boss you're progressing towards - some fly

If you have a megalith of a base I'd have to test it

[flat zealot]

does tar pit works like a spawner? Im not sure if I can destroy it somehow or will it always produce growths

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[dapper token]

hi hi

[dusty girder]

i was told that it spawns back after 1-2 ingame days you could potentially set a portal there and Rekill them if possible. but I heard this from a youtube shorts so the information could be missleading

[idle storm]

base items like campfires, crafting stations and most light sources block spawns in a radius around them, so enemies don't spawn inside your base as long as you use those.
You can place enough of those around that no enemies can spawn at all but it takes some work.

[errant acorn]

Noted. Does a workbench protect its entire radius?

[idle storm]

yes

[errant acorn]

Cool, thank you

[idle storm]

you can block the growth spawns with campfires too.

[flat zealot]

okay then, well I'll think of something because my new base will be close to a tar pit, maybe I'll just close it off somehow

[flat zealot]

ooo thank you

[idle storm]

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

[flat zealot]

so if I just place a structure considered a player base it will prevent them from spawning yes

[plush umbra]

if lava is "too cold" for asksvin egg, then what is warm enough

a camp fire? seriously

[west pulsar]

Whats the best way to deal with these new raids?

They suck balls and waste my time creating spawners so i Actually have to kill them before it gets out of hand

[burnt rune]

Technically the best way is probably turning them off and just not dealing with them. Can't struggle with them if they never come.

joke aside I have no idea. I haven't gotten past eikthyr yet in my current progression and I started all over. Not played much at al the last week.

[west pulsar]

Eh fair point

[burnt rune]

I still don't know if I like raids or not, cause I have been burned by them happening when I had to just leave the pc for a few minutes and didn't log off my character. They give me such mixed feelings cause you could loose your house just cause you had to run outside with the dog.was fine if I had friends playing with me but solo it can be quite punishing.

I haven't figured out how to control it yet on my dedicated server. so gotta look into it.Thou I might just play singleplayer cause I found out none of my friends play at all anymore.

[livid wing]

If you are playing alone, and need to leave the computer, you can just hit the menu and it pauses the game, no?

[opal prairie]

You could spawn proof your base, make a moat or earthen wall around the base.
After that make sure the whole area is covered in player base structures so no spawn can happen, maybe even go out of the base and bury some workbenches for a greater spawn proof radius.
You can then do whatever you want and the only mobs you will have to care about are drakes and bats.

[burnt rune]

I have done that a few times. I find them interresting and fun most of the time. they can just be annoying when you're on a dedicated server alone and can't pause and you just have to leave quickly for whatever reason and come back to a troll smacking your wall or roof.

but as toolshred said. if you're solo you can just enter the menu.
Reminds me why I ended up playing on a solomap everytime I wasn't playing with friends.

[warm rover]

hey guys, does anyone know how armor works? If im blocking, is only block armor taken into account for demage reduction, or does it get added on top of normal armor (demage reduction wise, not staggering)

[opal prairie]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

[fossil salmon]

why does it keep saying no skill drain when I'm definitely losing skills?

[warm rover]

ty judge

[opal prairie]

If you die you lose skills but you are protected from more skill loss for 10 minutes.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/No_skill_drain

[fossil salmon]

I know what it is, but I just lost 2 points while having No Skill Drain

[fair cairn]

thats not usually possible? you sure you didnt misremember? or that it ran out a second before you died?

[fossil salmon]

after my first death I checked my run stat, 39. then I died during no skill drain. then I recovered my body and got back to base. I just then decided to check again and it was 37.

[azure yacht]

Easiest death penalty sets skill drain at 1%, it doesn't remove it

[paper marsh]

That’s weird. Maybe it ran out just as you died? It should say “the gods are merciful” in the corner of your screen if you die with no skill drain

[plush umbra]

i wish roots would attack spawners

these jade item are really cool though, also not something id have expected to find in these lands

[rain flare]

Best way to avoid this is to built your base close to a dungeon - hop in the dungeon and voila, no raids can spawn

[plush umbra]

got a vulture stuck on my boat ealier, turns out vultures make it go faster than rowing or sailing

[burnt rune]

ahhh, I built an outpost connected to a trollcave once. never thought about it possibly stopping raids if I pop inside.

[ornate sigil]

Much like using the flying command, if they level to the boats floor and move "forward" , it will push the boat.

I can see the advertisement now.. "new Vulture powered boats get you to where you need to go faster than rowing**(may require small blood sacrifice) "

[plush umbra]

vulture staff..

leash them and carry them like balloons..

[steep girder]

Enables flying around, a bunch of vulters leashed to a wooden staff

[azure yacht]

I'd prefer a twitcher staff.

Lets you summon 2-3 twitchers per level. Easy to kill, but work as fodder

Army vs army

[plush umbra]

yeah, though might be too similar to skeletons

[carmine thorn]

how do you make your berserkir axes thundering?

[near zephyr]

you need to find other material in ashlands, so explore further - more surprises to discover.

[steep girder]

Can you make the base weapon first then upgrade it to a magical variation later (the ashland weapons) ? Or do you need to craft it in to the magical variant straight away

[split mulch]

you craft the base weapon and then upgrade it

[steep girder]

Alright thanks, just wanted to make sure so I don't end up "wasting" materials

[split mulch]

just don't upgrade your base weapon as it will reset to the base level when given an attribute

[steep girder]

Yeah alrighty

Max upgraded Mistwalker seems pretty nice for AShlands though so gonna have to wait and see if any of the new weapons are good enough to match it

[split mulch]

There are some pretty broken new weapons that make the ashlands a joke

At least in normal mode. In very hard you are insta-kill from almost anything so you have to run mage build with staff of protection so you don't die every second

[clear comet]

I would say

[merry sun]

Very hard isnt a standard

[clear comet]

valheim has a weird difficulty cliff, before plains everything feels like a standard progression

after plains, it feels like a cliff

[merry sun]

i dont think Mistlands is a big deal

But id expect Ash and Deep North to be this way

[split mulch]

Definitely not

I enjoy a challenge so thats why I'm running a very hard world

[merry sun]

after my Ashlands is finished i will probably risk that too

[nimble scarab]

making a roof still works, thanks

[split mulch]

Just be ready to be a one shot from everything

[merry sun]

Ye, Light armors and eikhtyr power will be my allies

[split mulch]

don't use armor

[merry sun]

a run without heavy armor

Troll set, Fenris set, Ask set

[split mulch]

basically

I skipped all the armor until mistlands

the staff of protection and magic makes the game so much easier

[merry sun]

i will probably use Spears and knives

untill mist

[mortal otter]

is it smart to build base protection like a wall before going into the ashlands?

[merry sun]

the New raids isnt that difficult

only Twitchers and some marksman

[opal prairie]

Landing in the ashlands and making a beach head with earthen walls is certainly a good idea.

[tiny tiger]

I feel like the problem is we don’t prepare properly for the later biomes

If you use everything available to you to succeed it’s not that much of a difficulty spike

[vocal rivet]

The central tenet of Valheim is Prepare, Prepare, Prepare.

[tiny tiger]

Rested bonus, potions+meads, best available food, best available armor and weapons, portals

[opal prairie]

Take a stroll and then prepare some more.

[tiny tiger]

In a interview grimmcore said the idea of the biome progressions is that you eventually master the new biomes

Each new biome is meant to feel like a new thing to master and be challenging

[plush umbra]

sucks that the roots hitting enemies doesnt give you any magic XP

[tiny tiger]

Is it only the initial summon?

[plush umbra]

as far as I can tell

[split mulch]

imo the only good magic for ashlands is blood magic

trolstav and staff of protection are op

and you can make a farm to get level 100 blood magic afk

which makes your protection bubble have 700 health

[opal prairie]

I've heard that the staff of embers is good as well.

[split mulch]

I haven't found it to be useful in ashlands

[plush umbra]

i really love the root so far, though I havent found the troll stav yet

[split mulch]

don't click if you dont want to be spoiled -> ||it is basically dead raiser but with trolls||

it can singlehandedly take out a valkyrie

[formal herald]

Ashlands gave me nightmares...

But worth

[split mulch]

Just spam staff of protection and you will be alright

It has gotten significantly easier than when it first released in the public test

[formal herald]

Still D:

[vocal rivet]

Much, much easier.

[formal herald]

I played in the beta

[split mulch]

It was painful

[formal herald]

Solo

[vocal rivet]

Huh, you don't have the Tester role.

[split mulch]

I just joined the discord

[formal herald]

Pre-release ashlands were oof

[split mulch]

But I have over 1k hours in the game and have been playing the public tests

[formal herald]

But it is atleast challenging

[split mulch]

I enjoyed that a lot

it was to easy on normal difficulty for all the other biomes

[vocal rivet]

Then get the role and you can provide feedback on future tests.

[split mulch]

where fo you get it?

[split mulch]

I just checked my roles and I actually do have the role

[vocal rivet]

Click on Channels & Roles and then I want to be a tester.

Weird, I swear you didn't a second a go.

[split mulch]

Discord is wierd sometimes 🤷

[formal herald]

I have no roles.... but i am fine :3

[vocal rivet]

*wonders why people would play test but not provide feedback *

[split mulch]

I just found out there was a discord today

[plush umbra]

some people just want to play it early

[vocal rivet]

Sadly.

Ooh, the soundtrack is finally updated.

[azure yacht]

Which isn't the main point of PTB

Where? Steam?

[split mulch]

Ye I was very happy with that

I had the sound turned off the majority of the time from hearing it so many times

[azure yacht]

Nvm, just saw it

What's even more important, ashlands boss theme is there.

That shit slaps 👋

[opal prairie]

It is in the channel pins though under "Should I opt-in the Public Test branch?"

• or just want to explore the new content -

[proper kraken]

I will try the nomap no portail hardcore soon but how can u find bosses ? Only luck and exploring ?

[smoky quarry]

probably mostly luck

[azure yacht]

I implied that it's one of the reasons, but not the main purpose

[scarlet stirrup]

Deep North when

[opal prairie]

If you find a vegvisir your toon will get turned towards the boss location, if you find multiple you can triangulate.

Dandelion, Barley (not Barley flour), Beech seeds, Birch seeds, Carrot seeds, Onion seeds or Turnip seeds.

[opal prairie]

#general message

[vocal rivet]

Eh? Not the ingame one.

[split mulch]

ya I had my ingame music off

[vocal rivet]

Yes, but that's not what I was saying has been updated.

[proper kraken]

Oh without mod ? Good to know

[turbid pollen]

Dude, I found three Leviathans only 10~20 meters apart from each other.

Man, having an outpost with a forge far away from base is extremely useful. I can use the iron I found to make the Longship and use that to transport all iron I could possibly find in the Swamp.

I missed out on this type of gameplay when I decided to change my settings to unrestricted portals mid-game (Late-Swamp / Mountains) on my previous playthrough.

[opal prairie]

I for one am glad you can fiddle with the settings after making the world, so if you don't feel like sailing you can just hop out of the game change the setting and voila.
You can also use devcommands to teleport but yeah.

[turbid pollen]

I've made a rule to not change the settings and keep it as is upon creation. My current save only has the Fire Hazard setting turned on.

[vocal haven]

What are your strategies for obtaining Flametal? I think this is the most annoying of all the mining processes they've introduced.

[paper marsh]

Raiding fortresses. Although sometimes I'll use Queen power on a flammetal spire so I can oneshot the deposits

[toxic mason]

Truly loving everything about Ashlands except the insane spawn rate of mobs. Like, can I please go 10 feet without fighting 7 1 star units?

[vocal haven]

I'm a bit torn. I love that this feels like an actual battlefield. I've learnt that the only enemies I need to respect are marksmen and voltures on the battlefield, everything else can be kited with ease. But those two can misbehave if you're already low on stamina or lose sight of them for just a second

As a mage I fear voltures when my barrier breaks and they're more than 2 and I'm <40 stamina

[toxic mason]

It's just like The Queen fight. Not at all balanced for solo play. I'm also trying to not use any magic this playthrough and it feels impossible.

[vocal haven]

yeah I feel like they dropped the ball on balancing here. Magic feels way too strong.

[vague field]

greataxes use polearm attacks right?

[toxic mason]

Yeah but they're slower

[vague field]

mkie ty

[split mulch]

It is

Also the imobilization is op

morgens are jokes because you can just keep them immobilized the entire fight

[tardy belfry]

Anyone got a good idea to put Grausten roofs on a 2 story house. I got iron posts for supports but they start to break as you get away from the support beams. Would the answer just be more iron posts?

[split mulch]

Maybe try raising the ground

and then make it super thin with the pickaxe

[vocal haven]

I never really do that. They're so easy as it is, they just run around alot. They're dramaqueens really, they make a lot of noise but don't really achieve anything. They're always the last I kill in a big fight. As long as you jump when they do their lunge, they will never touch you.

[split mulch]

so it is hidden in the wall

[split mulch]

True. Or just summon a troll and problem solved

[ember panther]

Possibly in the save files

[half dragon]

I realized something... if you skip killing a boss in your world or kill it in another world, none of the future bosses you kill add new stuff to meadows gang wars? I killed Yag in another world to avoid having fulings in meadows... but killing queen doesn't make ticks spawn at night?

[ember panther]

I had that happen to me before. No tombstone showed up at all and when I logged in I was naked in my bed

[errant acorn]

Actual factual cartography and landnav

Is there some method of determining your heading in nomap mode?

[proper kraken]

Sun ?? 😀

[half dragon]

in the cloud. gotta get wings to reach them

or open up cloud saves (backup) tab

[errant acorn]

Apparently yggdrasil runs east to west, with the trunk in the east and the branches growing out towards the west

[proper kraken]

Good to know haha

[kind pendant]

I went to the infested citadel to kill the queen, BUT THERE’S AN infested mine there?!?!

I’m so confused

[proper kraken]

I was going to do big pillar haha

[nocturne wolf]

Did you use the vegvisir before or after the ashlands update?

[kind pendant]

Before…

[nocturne wolf]

Use it again or find a new one

[fair wedge]

I just realized you can play Valheim like Fortnite

[nocturne wolf]

Do you mean building mid-fight or something else?

[fair wedge]

Yeah

[kind pendant]

Man that’s so sad. Thank you for the help, thought that happened. All those hours of sailing 🥲

[plush umbra]

building mid fight to draw in ranged enemies is something i like to do from time to time

[half dragon]

Fortnite would be proud

[vocal vale]

Building use to be go to everytime I got to a new biome

Lots of observing

[fossil delta]

At least Derek and some of the mods and helpers still look familiar. Its been over a year, so I guess that is not all that surprising.

[golden grove]

I thought Flametal Leviathans respawned if we hadn't mine the all thing, is that not the case?

[fossil delta]

The ones that sink? They are gone for good.

[plush umbra]

sometimes they dont disappear, ive found when dying near one, it resets

[fossil delta]

I would guess that has more to do with the file saving. I just know once they sink, they are gone for good.

[golden grove]

that sucks

so if I pop back in the portal when the trembling starts, it resets the counter or whatever controls how many times we can mine them?

[fossil delta]

Its probably far more reliable to get them out of the chests in the citadels.

[plush umbra]

logging out doesnt work at least, just dumps you into lava

[strange arrow]

welcome back Rob

[fossil delta]

Another name change?

[strange arrow]

this is all Smiffe

[sonic topaz]

Is there a disadvantage of having Valheim on Microsoft Store?

[fossil delta]

😄

[plush umbra]

yeah you wont get steam achievements on release

[steep girder]

Anyone found starred ||Fallen Valkyries||? The unstarred ones are manageable but I would imagine starred ones being pretty horrible

[amber tangle]

boys I need a safe haven world

To heal up. Got caught with my pants down. Was mining tar and got the notif for the wolf raid 😂😂

[near saddle]

just make a new world and join it with your character, no?

[amber tangle]

You right. Don't even know what food I have lol

Will update

[stray lily]

If you're in the Plains, try and flee to some nearby Loxen. They'll help distract the wolves and probably take out several

[livid gazelle]

you keep bonemass power with you?

[amber tangle]

I was in my plains base. Just trying to mine some tar and these big ass wolves come over the heal snapping their fingers after my lucky charms

[amber tangle]

Negative. Eyk all the way

[livid gazelle]

get what u get then

[amber tangle]

It's bad boys. I tried to run to my teleporter but apparently had an ingot in my inventory so they busted down the door

[stray lily]

I assume you're rested if you're near home. Wolves are fast, but you should be able to outrun them with Eikthyr. Maybe kite them in circles until the raid ends.

[livid gazelle]

is the ''you are being hunted'' raid not limited to a ''base raid''? does it happen even if you are out in the wild?

[stray lily]

Wolf hunts can happen anywhere. I've had then happen when I was sailing in open ocean

Think I was technically over a sunken Black Forest or something, but I just kept sailing without consequences. Eventually it despawned.

[livid gazelle]

Right... yeah i don't like to give up the elder power... but when i get to the mountains level i just im forced to use bonemass..

[stray lily]

Pups don't swim very fast. Probably don't like getting hit by a Longship at ramming speed

[livid gazelle]

YEAH RIGHT, good luck lining the ship lol

[amber tangle]

I logged into a safe Haven world and I’m just sitting down healing up. I had good food on board already so I just have to wait till I’m healed up.

[stray lily]

The other day I harpooned a Fuling Berserker and dragged it around the water a bit

[amber tangle]

Reason I panic is because I’m doing a no death run right now

[stray lily]

OH yeah that's scary

[amber tangle]

CLENCHED

[stray lily]

How far is your base? The wolf raid is probably still going

[amber tangle]

It’s not too far. I think in total there is about 15 wolves. I was able to kill about eight of them, but then they started to stagger me. If I didn’t have good food on board would’ve been dead long ago.

[river forge]

Dying in valheim is normal

[stray lily]

No real need to keep fighting them until the raid ends. They can only spawn so many at a time

[amber tangle]

This is true. Just wanted the challenge. On the fifth boss rn so making progress

[river forge]

I still die even though in top padded armor and using the best foods, the best weapons

[stray lily]

I died to a Horde attack in maxed out padded armor. Had nothing to mitigate fire damage from the shaman

[river forge]

Fully upgraded padded, 208 hp, weapons from mistland materials

1 star fuling: lol, that all you got?

Kinda hard to go head to head with most things

[merry sun]

hard mode?

[river forge]

Have to be sneaky and exploit

Yeah hard mode

[amber tangle]

Well I tried to log back in to the main world

[river forge]

Anything post mountain with a star will one shot you

[amber tangle]

I can't post pics on this channel right?

[smoky quarry]

game made for normal, the rest of difficulties are simple mob buffs

[stray lily]

Normal difficulty I'm usually fine against 1star Fulings. Not so much the Berserkers though

[smoky quarry]

i`d expect a higher difficulty to involve more than simply adding more dmg+hp to mobs

[errant acorn]

Lol

[smoky quarry]

thats why i avoid such artificial diff increases

[stray lily]

I know some games make resource gathering and costs take longer at higher difficulties. I think increasing mob quantities would add a lot of challenge, too.

[smoky quarry]

intelligence, trickery etc wouold be more challenging

like in HoMM3, easy AI would simply come attack flimsy at you, while very hard would resort to harrasment, small & distraction attacks, mass armies and full use of magic

[stray lily]

Some games will build combat around the highest difficulty and then remove whole mechanics for easier modes

[errant acorn]

The issue is increasing diffiuclty via AI capability means the difficulty of combat needs to be based on the AI's actions in the first place.
And with the combat mechanic tweaks, that means there needs to be enough complexity that even after paring it back its still satisfying

[smoky quarry]

in valheim it doesnt add anything extra at higher difficulty

simply making mobs stronger + more damage only has you hack at them for a longer time, using the same tactics or cheese

[errant acorn]

Valheim, as fun as it is, has some pretty basic combat with very little complexity from non-boss enemies

[smoky quarry]

i find difficulty in this game a moot option.

[fallen zephyr]

That's a very counter-intuitive statement. Please explain?

[smoky quarry]

its a simple difficulkty increase that makes little sense

[errant acorn]

Its just HP bloat on enemies. Its not harder, it's just longer.

[smoky quarry]

mobs have more hp + damage. That is it. If my mistwalker damage and armor was increased just as much as the mobs,. the game would feel 100% nromal.

yes, simply longer; same shit

[fallen zephyr]

If there are difficulty scales that provide tangibly different game experiences, they're clearly not moot.

[smoky quarry]

it does not offer anytthting else

insteadd of spending 1 min with that mob to kill it, takes me 2 now

[errant acorn]

I think the issue is setting the game to "hard" doesnt make it harder, just slower

[smoky quarry]

maybe, more stamina strict management, but really its like pulling a cats tail

[stray lily]

Higher damage at the same tier can force a change in strategy, though. You may be able to parry something in Normal that would stagger you in Hard.

[smoky quarry]

id prefer a more inteligent opponent

mobs get to cheese me with Hard+

[stray lily]

I think that's why the Fulings behave as they do. Greydwarves will just run at you like excited toddlers, but Fulings will try and circle you first.

[errant acorn]

I wish valheim had super in depth combat mechanics.

[fallen zephyr]

Fair enough. @smoky quarry, I understand. I don't have the experience to agree, but if 'difficulty' is being manifested through 'time investment', that's lazy & bad; agreed.

[smoky quarry]

now imagine, at Hard, they expand that tactic to something more challenging

instead its the same stuff, x2;

unless having skill poijnts at 100, maybe then theres a balance. but tf my skill points are meh after 1500+ days

[fallen zephyr]

You mean like Seekers that don't get confused by any number of rock formations? 😛

[errant acorn]

I like when difficulty increases enemy speed, attack frequency, and attack speed. Make me have to execute cleanly under tighter time requirements. That always feels really good to me and you feel the difficulty increase immediately

[smoky quarry]

id combine mob raids in Hard, maybe increase skill reuse and target acquiring, stuff like that

i like ashlands style, more challenge. maybe they have something in plan yet

[west pulsar]

YES

Ive been trying to explain this to people the "difficulty" and resources are just a time thing

[errant acorn]

Ive picked this game up and put it down like 5 times. I finallly started a new world with 3x drops and BOY did it make solo more fun, lol.

[west pulsar]

"oh but you're cheesing the game" nah i just dont wanna spend 30 hours on one project

I use 3x as well

[merry sun]

Idk why devs think putting ♾️ damage in swamp enemies tier is hard

[smoky quarry]

some people do like Pain

[merry sun]

is just annoying that you can even wear an armor

i mean, ashlands is hard mostly bc of the spawn rate no enemies except for stars can one shot you with heavy armor set

[errant acorn]

I like pain when i can dish out as much as i can take.
See mortal sin as an example. Bosses can one hit you pretty reliably but you are an absolute whirlwind of death with as many combo routes as some fighting games

[west pulsar]

Ashlands is cancer

I've been farming there but its not fun

[merry sun]

btw i like hard mode bc bosses are actually hard to beat

[west pulsar]

Again idk if bosses are hard more than they are spongy

[proven frigate]

Agreed. Artificial difficulty by just having increased spawn rates all of the times is not fun.

[merry sun]

You spend more time to kill so more enemies will spawn around, they have more hp, do more damage (and seems to be smarter?)

[errant acorn]

I think valheim would really shine with a combat overhaul. Simple things like light/heavy attack combos, more dynamic attack animations, AND BEING ABLE TO ATTACK UP AND DOWN would go a long way to making the combat feel more impactful

[west pulsar]

Nah they aren't smarter

[ember panther]

Ashlands became a lot more fun since taking over a fortress. It's a great safe haven

[merry sun]

Moder doesnt

[smoky quarry]

i wouldn`t change anything on combat as is

the way mobs focus on you can be though

[merry sun]

i think we need more weapons, the arbalest and two handed sword was cool additions

[errant acorn]

Locked animations feel really clunky when you're fighting 8 things at once.

[merry sun]

magic is just valheim at easy mode

[west pulsar]

Its just annoying in the ashlands i dont like getting jumped by 30 skeleton fucks the moment i set foot in there that track me from another universe

[smoky quarry]

game is pretty hard as is for something not willing to spend 500h in it and just wants to get on with it

[errant acorn]

Or enemies falling out of combos because of knockback and you not being able to move mid combo

[west pulsar]

The magic isnt that op tbh i dont entirely agree

[merry sun]

but when the chain lighting does procs🤤

[west pulsar]

I haven't got that far

By the time i get that far i wont need it

[merry sun]

As i melee main, i changed 2 days for magic with my duo and the game was like 70% easier

[west pulsar]

Well yea because you're supposed to use a mix of both

[merry sun]

this doesnt work

[smoky quarry]

i wear the mage cap only and use fire & bubble while i regen stamina

[ember panther]

Lightning axe is so good. Can actually stagger charred warriors now

[merry sun]

i cant eat 1 eitr, 1 health and 1 stamina

seems cursed

[west pulsar]

"i only walk everywhere and now its easier when i sprint" yea after mistlands magic is basically required (2 hp 1 eitr or 2 eitr 1 h)

[smoky quarry]

anyone try necro book in ashlands?

[merry sun]

when blood mage i eat 2 etr and 1 helath, when elemental i eat 3 etr, and while im melee i get 2 hp and 1 stam

[west pulsar]

The Shield is basically a must for me

[merry sun]

Nah, asksvin set and cloak do that

[west pulsar]

I won't lie at low hp you'll die without it

[merry sun]

bucklers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[west pulsar]

The magic one

[merry sun]

oh

[west pulsar]

Otherwise yes

[merry sun]

ye the bubble is really op

[west pulsar]

But again if theres an Ashland Buckler i haven't gotten it yet

[merry sun]

buy i never used and mixed build before tbh i will try that today

[west pulsar]

Same with an atgeir

[mossy river]

Does anyone have any clever tricks for deconstructing battering rams?

[west pulsar]

I play solo anything else has felt like I'm shooting my own foot by trying to over specialize

[strange arrow]

there's not

[smoky quarry]

Eytr power can be useful when playing on low stamina

[merry sun]

take your berserkir axes and hit them

[west pulsar]

That or the queen

Sounds weird but magic can compensate madly for low stam

[smoky quarry]

well, its good also your stamina regens while you send fireballs

[west pulsar]

Or anything really the reverse isnt true

When using stam magic pauses

[smoky quarry]

yea but usually one spends more time fighting melee

[west pulsar]

Unless i have 300% magic regen

[smoky quarry]

this sucks if you are in closed spaces though, nowhere to retreat

[west pulsar]

And rested bonus then i can use it a lot

[west pulsar]

Bubble spam fireball at your feet and pray to odin himself

[merry sun]

I have 3 main builds when solo:
Tanky: Flametal armor, 2 Hp and 1 stam food, Nidhogg, Carapace Buckler, B-axes, Spinesnap, Brutal Slayer
Light: Asksvin set, keeping the weapons and food
mage: Embla set, 1 Hp 2 etr, all staves ingame

[smoky quarry]

Aleluia\

[merry sun]

i never had problems with my builds

[west pulsar]

I carry every weapon

[merry sun]

i do not used any dagger in my entire gameplay xd

[west pulsar]

Theres an ashland dagger?

[merry sun]

im pretending to use in my new very hard world

[west pulsar]

Mood

[merry sun]

i was recently testing Spears

and isnt that bad, the range is horrifying but the damage is very consistent

• with jade or iolite at ash they can be very strong

[west pulsar]

Spears are only there for melee pierce

[west pulsar]

I only have bloodstone and made bloodstone weapons

[merry sun]

seriously?

the only weapons i used bloodstone are Slayer and Ripper (arbalest)

[smoky quarry]

Iolite is Thory style

[west pulsar]

Deadass i couldn't find jade or anything else

[merry sun]

and Brutal Slayer is soooooo cool

[west pulsar]

Agreed i wanna use it more

[merry sun]

in my tank build if i go 40 or 50 hp i just catch the slayer and kill everyone near me

2 shooting valkyries

[ember panther]

Yeah still no jade. I really wanna try the nature staff

[west pulsar]

2 hp 1 magic use a shield and just pray i dont get jumped by 30 of them

[smoky quarry]

never used 2h sword kek

[merry sun]

Its awesome! Def my favorite staff (if Dundr could be considered as a staff)

[merry sun]

Me too, untill slayer got added into the game. i complety ignored Krom and Skoll Hati

[ember panther]

We found like 8 iolite and 1 bloodstone. Waiting for our 3rd to get back on so we can try another fort

Wish dundr used iolite

[west pulsar]

Also am i wrong or does the blood weapons do more damage on paper like if i cap at 230 hp or something around there and lose say 100 im getting an extra 20 damage the others only do like 10

But i guess the tradeoff is only when im hurt but thats like always with me

Rarely am i full hp because of blood magic

[ember panther]

Is it just a flat 20 or is it 20%?

[merry sun]

works with MISSING hp, if you got 230 at total and lost 200

you will get a strong buff 200 x 0.2%

[west pulsar]

Oh % yea that makes sense

[merry sun]

isnt 20 % tho, is 0.2%

[smoky quarry]

thats like 40%

[west pulsar]

Yes

[merry sun]

less then half %

[smoky quarry]

100hp missing would be +20% dmg

[azure yacht]

Each point of hp missing gives 0.2% extra dmg

[merry sun]

actually is 2%

[west pulsar]

And if im spamming Shield then it's always stacking

[merry sun]

but 2% of 550 damage is 11

[azure yacht]

It isn't

[smoky quarry]

huh

[west pulsar]

2%?

[azure yacht]

100 missing hp = 20% extra damage

[merry sun]

isnt 0.2%?

[west pulsar]

Thats not mathing but ok

[ember panther]

You could get like 300 hp with the new foods and missing 250 would add 50% more damage. Sounds pretty insane but don't get hit

[west pulsar]

Shield

[merry sun]

0.2% = 0,2 or 0,02?

0,2 is 20%

[west pulsar]

This

[merry sun]

0,02 is 0.2%

[west pulsar]

Its just 0.2 not 0.02

[merry sun]

eh this is very missunderstanding

[ember panther]

0.2%

[merry sun]

bc the ingame desc is "their hit effect is damage increased by 0.2% for every hp missin"

[azure yacht]

At which point, getting hit just becomes deadly.

That isn't a playstyle worth doing if you're completely alone. Summons and shield are a necessity

[merry sun]

could be 20%, not 0.2%

i think im getting it wrong

idk im 1 month without school

[ember panther]

Summons draining your hp so you do more damage. Unfortunately need 2 eitr foods to do this tho

Would be a cool synergy tho

[azure yacht]

Which is why it should be based on missing hp percentage instead.

1% of hp missing gives X amount of dmg.

I'm sure they did it to encourage full hp diet but still...

[merry sun]

i was actually trying to convert % to numbers

[merry sun]

Only massive damage weapons worth it

Like Ripper and Slayer

[errant acorn]

if i use the pathen fucntion of the hoe outside my workbench radius, will the path prevent trees from growing on it?

[azure yacht]

Especially ripper which is ranged

[oak walrus]

why cannot i find vineberries

[west pulsar]

I mean i wanna try the slayer with a tankish bubble

[oak walrus]

ive found 8 so far but no seeds

[west pulsar]

They grow on rock structures i think

[oak walrus]

ik but i cant find any

[ember panther]

Seeds sometimes drop when picking them. They grow mostly in those abandoned church temples

[oak walrus]

hmmm, i guess i just gotta go on an adventure

[errant acorn]

man i wish there was a rampify tool on the hoe

[austere marten]

does Putrid Holes works like Troll Caves ? i mean theres not necesseraly a monster inside ? cause sometimes Morgens takes forever to spawn, i often have to run back and forth inside the cave to make it spawn ?! 🤔 and it sometimes doesnt

[vague field]

abt to fight bonemass

bet on if i win or not

[hot flint]

Alright YALL

i got a life changing question alright

Can i skip the iron age like with bronze? I got through bronze only making an axe and the forge, i assume it can also be done with iron in normal. I just made a pickaxe to mine silver

wolf armor will be my first serious heavy armor

[fair wedge]

Iron armor isn’t necessary. For the amount of iron it costs, it’s hardly worth it.

[hot flint]

Thats what i frickin thought

[fair wedge]

Fully upgraded bronze will achieve the same affect

[hot flint]

the iron needed is crazy

[vague field]

i died

[austere marten]

f

[hot flint]

f

[vague field]

you will need iron all throughout the game

[azure yacht]

Only "necessary" things from iron is mace, atgeir and iron nails

[fair wedge]

Spend your iron on a longboat and maybe 1 good iron weapon of your choice and upgrade it all the way.

[azure yacht]

There's also iron wood beams but that depends on what you build

[hot flint]

will do fellas

[plush umbra]

just making sure but theres not just 1 castle in the ashlands, right?

[errant acorn]

has anyone done the math to know if power attacking trees is faster

[fair wedge]

Iron sledgehammer is pretty good too, I’d say the iron is well spent on that

[hot flint]

I just build huts, i gave up on trying to build proper houses after 230 hours my houses stil look like they've been brought over from minecraft

But darn it i will build the prettiest hut there is.

[plush umbra]

iron wood is really good, some times i also build towers and inside build up the ground to make it look taller than it is

[azure yacht]

Arguably but still depends on getting draugr elite trophy in the first place

[fair wedge]

You can build nice houses if you do a little bit of foundation work. Get yourself a shape you like and start building it with beams

[strange arrow]

even square blocks can be made pretty

[azure yacht]

Stone alone gives a lot of height

[fair wedge]

But if u have the trophy, it’s worth it. That’s what I made yesterday and I cleared the swamp crypts with it without ever being touched

[ember panther]

I haven't done the math but I've cut a lot of trees. I'd say normal attack is better for felling and special attack for hitting fallen logs / stumps

[hot flint]

Ill mess around with creative at some point

[fair wedge]

It’s starts with a vision, then from there it’s a game of problem solving. Valheim building is very technical.

[hot flint]

Is it? How long can i continue using the stagbreaker? the amount of stuff needed for the sledge is insane

[fair wedge]

Stag is fine but I’d say if you ever find yourself with spare materials, and a draugr elite trophy, go ahead and make one

[ember panther]

Best iron weapon is the mace

[hot flint]

Will keep it in mind

[fair wedge]

I cleared two crypts yesterday so I had plenty of iron to spend

Still not making armor tho. The best armor in Valheim is not getting hit
