[plush umbra]

a good source of charred bones i guess

[nocturne wolf]

It should be near a dyrnwyn part

[plush umbra]

whats that

[nocturne wolf]

Is there a building near that spawner?

[plush umbra]

i wasnt able to check closely

i dont have to break it?

[nocturne wolf]

Come back when you can, and find more of these places with vegvisirs in putrid holes

Yes, I think you need to break it

[plush umbra]

thanks, ill definitely go back to check it out

[nocturne wolf]

Remember to find the others once you’re done there

[rain flare]

staff of fracturing is excellent IF you can stack firedamage
You can get 300+ damager per second if you time it right

[rain flare]

Of course, all the bloody mobs in ashlands are fire resistant, so staff of fracturing is good in any biome except the biome you get the materials to craft it

[plush umbra]

whether the hits are separate or timed to be close together, the total damage is gonna be the same

Thanks 👌 appreciate ya

[half dragon]

Well... not a single death with landing to Ashlands, yet. Have managed to destroy nearby spawner, raised the ground 5m high in good amount of area, shield, portal and a crafting bench up. Don't really see this attempt failing despite of the game making attempts to make it fail... oh and hard it does try.

Is ||staff of fracturing|| a good option to rush? seems like the first staff I can make here

[plush umbra]

just dont expect too much of some ashwood and charred bones

[dense canopy]

for the price its good enough

[half dragon]

just hoping for something a bit better for dealing with these things.

[dense canopy]

works good for askivins, but the charred are resistant to fire it seems

[rain flare]

No, the fire damage stacks.

The way the staff is designed you are firing a small cluster of lava bombs at a target
you need to hit ALL of the bombs in rapid succession to maximise the damage - each little bomb applies a set amount of damage and expires after a short period

The more of the bombs that actually hit the target the more damage you are stacking

Staff of embers does amount of fire damage - most of it's power is in blunt

[plush umbra]

when we say fire damage stacks, we just mean that separate hits tick independent of each other (and their ticks add together in the display) there's no multiplication going on, DoT damage types in valheim are a lot less special and unique than people think.

[rain flare]

It's not multiplying no, but it is more damage going through IF the target is more suceptable to fire damage than blunt for example

In ashlands, use the staff of embers - blunt damage is better than fire
If in another biome such as mistlands - use staff of fracturing

[plush umbra]

nothing so far indicates a benefit to doing it in quick succession though

[rain flare]

Other than applying more fire damage more quickly?

[plush umbra]

that goes for all damage in the game though?

[rain flare]

I think we are talking on different frequencies 🤣

Let me re-phrase my wording

[plush umbra]

if you do 2 fire attacks for 20 damage each immediately after one another, it's gonna end up with the same total damage as you'd get if you waited a full minute between the two

[rain flare]

Staff of fractuing is good IF you can work on landing ALL your lava clusters that you are shooting out
No, it does not multiply the damage, no it does not produce some magical bonus damage

But the main thing is that the staff is good - you just have to land ALL of the lava blobs rather than thinking of the thing as a cluster bomb where each little bit of shrapnel is decent on it's own

[carmine grotto]

dont yall love it when you go in plaines and try to build your new base and an horde gets here and destroy everything in progress? (its happening to me atm)

[plush umbra]

yea, i just thought you meant speed was a factor here (which, i mean, it always is, but that's not exclusive to the staff)

[half dragon]

Gotta love how Ashlands is making up for the lack of enemies in all other biomes combined...

[mortal carbon]

can i still mine around the whole copper vein and it just falls

[teal depot]

The mob spawns r a bit absurd atm can’t really take like 2 steps without having to fight an entire invasion force of monsters kinda gets annoying at a certain point

[half dragon]

it calmed down just a little bit once I took out the nearby spawner, but still have to spend far more time fighting than establishing a proper base that doesn't get destroyed by a stray fart

[teal depot]

Me and my friends took over a charred fortress took a combined death toll of roughly 30-50 deaths from all of us to just kill a 1 Star warlock bc the minion spam was real

[steep girder]

Now imagine fighting 2x 2* Warlocks, 2* Marksman, 2x 2* Twitchers, 3x Asksvins and an endless horde of minions and unstarred charred simultaneously, solo 😐 That was my experience last night thanks to ||Dyrnwyn spawner||

[smoky raven]

go mage build, throw 2 trolls, vines and watch from distance

[steep girder]

Me personally, I like sticking to one build per character for the most part. It is pretty rough though without any magic in Ashlands but doable

Playing heavy armor build with 1hand weapon and normal shield for parries

[smoky raven]

you can use magic build for that instance only but hey you do you gl

[clear comet]

I find spell sword seems to be the best way to play

[junior vector]

how many frost caves would you have to fully loot to get all the fenris hair for the fully upgraded set? thats 150

[clear comet]

if you're lucky, four

unlucky, can be 8

[warm flare]

Yo does anyone have any mod reccomendations that optimize the game?

[junior vector]

ah thats fine ty. was hoping it wouldnt be like 20 or something xd

[clear comet]

if you're lucky with cultist rooms, you can get a lot

always shoot anything that resembles to hair

[warm flare]

Tried one from thunderstore but it crashes my game every time i use it

[junior vector]

do mobs respawn in infested mines and frost caves after you kill them?

[serene talon]

no

[azure yacht]

Only in mines

[junior vector]

alr ty

oh also I'm 1400 coins short of a 2nd egg to start breeding chickens. I just defeated yagluth. whatd be a fast way to get those coins?

[plush umbra]

not mods but you can try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBkMW39egU

[warm flare]

I noticed that hosting multiplayer tanks my fps from 80-100 to 40 so im looking of ways to best optimize without the game looking bad

[azure yacht]

Fulings

[half dragon]

well this is pain... the moment you try to cut down some trees enemies be flooding from everywhere

[merry sun]

I got 2 Dyrnwin and wasnt that hard, you can just use Bonemass and spawn 2 trolls to break the spawner

Btw i got many Lucky finding Lord Reto Without vegvisir

[nocturne wolf]

You can use a ranged weapon to break a spawner from a distance where it won’t spawn anything

[bitter juniper]

So any word on a post launch update?

[azure yacht]

#news

[steel copper]

I had a new raid that didn't really go to plan.
It was something like "she is in pursuit" or something
But as I was in Ashlands nothing actually happen...
I was about to storm a fort so just went head, as I slaughtered everything I noticed a named Skeleton from the Smouldering tomb was just chilling inside 😄
die pretty quick with everyone else though haha

[merry sun]

I preffer using trollstav, they break the Grausten structure + the spawner

and can beat some 2 star Twitchers

[merry sun]

Ye Brenna is very underpowered, idk what devs was thinking with Hildir Request, you need to find her First and progress killing Boss + Minibosses or its a late game thing?

[steel copper]

Trollstav seems to be the devs answer to getting the Sap Extractor from Dvergr
Summoning them doesn't agro dvergr in Mistlands and its just fun to watch

[merry sun]

i like to keep Dvergr near, they can beat Soldiers and G'jall

[steel copper]

I think you have to defeat them first

its definitely a late game thing, the chill raids are very hard

1* and 2* fenring and a ice cultist will definitely kill you fast with low end gear

[half dragon]

which spawn proofing things do not burn?

[steel copper]

anything not wood XD

[rain flare]

Campfires

[warm rover]

yo yo wtf i just met a golem in a frost cave

https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977/1244248169303511052

[half dragon]

rare, haven't seen it myself yet

[azure yacht]

Yeah

[warm rover]

he was guarding the vegvisir

i have over 1k hours in valheim and its the first time i see this

he was guarding a fishing rod too

[azure yacht]

Been a thing since frost caves

[warm rover]

fishing rod thingy too?

[azure yacht]

Yes

[warm rover]

lol what an easter egg

[azure yacht]

Both are very rare

[half dragon]

I was promised death in Ashland, yet I still stand alive. Well, still plenty of time to die, but almost done fully securing my beach base

[azure yacht]

It's arguable whether you can find a fishing rod or the trader first

Could be even a good basis for a bet

[warm rover]

i found it before trader

haha

a bit sad it wasnt a vegvisir he was guarding, it was a runestone, but cool messsage

[warm rover]

now i met geirrhafa

[merry pebble]

It seems i have been quite lucky then 🙂 i have encountered both multiple times already

[azure yacht]

Can anyone who has bought the game soundtrack recently confirm if they have the songs from disc 1 mixed up? Most of the songs I play from steam are not the ones I play when using the files directly.

Meadows - A place to rest plays Elder's theme for example

Nothing more relaxing than an epic orchestra blasting while you're cooking in meadows apparently

[hollow peak]

Sometimes i love to listen to music from other games while playing Valheim.
Witcher 1-3
Kingdom Come
Fable
just to name a few.
Valheim music can become repetitive after a while, but its still nice nonetheless.

[steep girder]

||Root Fang|| vs ||Storm Fang||, thoughts?

[idle storm]

The latter. The proc isnt reliable enough to make for good cc but extra damage never hurts

[azure yacht]

Also, the music from the mistlands animated trailer is not here ;-; I was kinda expecting that one

[jolly grotto]

Btw, when will the soundtrack be updated on Spotify?

I have been waiting for it

[steep girder]

Alright, was just thinking the ||Root Fang|| might also be nice when pulling mobs to maybe get an extra shot or two in before going melee if it happens to proc

[azure yacht]

Hopefully not anytime soon considering I just bought it in steam

[hot flint]

Death map markers should stay off once you disable the icon

i mean from being shown on the map

cause once you exit the game and join again they reappear

[fair cairn]

or just remove them?

[hot flint]

nah

[fair cairn]

that seems like a you problem then

[hot flint]

what the hell is up with some people here? reddit tier responses

jesus

[pliant hatch]

imho you should remove them first, then click the icon to have them not showing up on your map to make sure they're gone.

And if / when you use the cartography table, make sure you updated that as well; otherwise they will return over and over again.

[hot flint]

I just want to hide them, not remove them

[azure yacht]

If you decide to do something.

Whom else is the responsibility?

You're complaining about a problem that already has a solution that you refuse to use...

[hot flint]

You can do it by right clicking the button thingy on the map but they reappear if you exit the game and join again

[hot flint]

If you dont have an answer, please please dont respond.

I dont know why people do this

[azure yacht]

I did have an answer.

That's why I responded

That is literally an answer

[pliant hatch]

Have you tried to hide them and then update your cartography table to see if they appear again after entering the game again?

[hot flint]

Will try, thanks

[azure yacht]

They do.

And the "problem" is not using a solution. Literally nothing anyone can do

Imagine not taking responsibility for your actions...

But can't bother anymore as I've seen this kind plenty of times to know where it goes

[pliant hatch]

With all due respect, but you shouldn't have replied to this in the first place if you already know where it ends.
Sometimes avoiding a "problem" is a better solution as trying to deal with it.

[zenith steppe]

Hey guys - how should I go about making a band new world play group?
-We don't need a 24/7 server I don't think - my schedule is pretty easy to move around if I host
-I'm decent at the game, made it to defeat the Area 4 mountain boss, but mostly want a group based in Europe to play a few times a week at a relaxed pace. Perhaps eventually meeting up IRL.

oh - and I want to play essentially vanilla+
Couple of quality of life / automation methods to speed up some of the grind, having gone through it the slow way before

[pliant hatch]

I think you may have more luck if you post that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[zenith steppe]

ok thanks

[ancient notch]

Merhaba aktif türkk oyuncular bana ulaşabilir mi?

[pliant hatch]

Please, use English only in this discord.

[ancient notch]

Okay, sorry bro.

[amber flicker]

is there any way to increase attack speed with Atgeir? and do all Atgeirs have same ataack speed?

[nocturne wolf]

They all have the same speed. If you want a faster weapon, try a knife or spear.

[pulsar mortar]

So trenches are good in Ashlands or t-800 knockoffs can also walk over them?

We try to make fast base, then quickly move towards fort

[nocturne wolf]

A trench should work but be careful with any lava you'll have to lower

[pulsar mortar]

Thanks, it's just near the beach

[near saddle]

does the lava generate below the ground, or is it just below what's visible on the surface?

[nocturne wolf]

Lava can be raised and lowered like other terrain with a pickaxe and hoe

[pulsar mortar]

Still Dvergr going full Rambo on them was kino

[near saddle]

oh, so it doesn't flow?

[nocturne wolf]

Lava is a type of terrain like paths so it IS the ground

[near saddle]

ahhh, interesting

[pulsar mortar]

So we could brick lava?

[near saddle]

afaik, only flametal beams/pillars can be built directly on the lava (I haven't played the biome yet)

[pulsar mortar]

Will have to do some tests and see if I can cheese it somehow

Catapults are good enough idea for metal ores

[finite lodge]

should i use iron armor when i get to the plains?

just killed moder

[plush umbra]

youll die in one or two hits

[finite lodge]

ive got the root harnesk also that ill be using, saw it in a scrappy video lol

[pulsar mortar]

Could be fun, use arrows and ooze bombs for goblins

[nocturne wolf]

Silver armor is better, why not use that?

[finite lodge]

i originally came to the plains after i beat bonemass cuz it was right next to it and i had an abomination chasing me

the abom killed quite a few things for me and i was able to collect some of the materials kinda early

but all i have available to craft are black metal shields D:

[finite lodge]

sorry i do have the wolf set actually i didnt mean to say iron

[nocturne wolf]

You need to find a fuling camp for flax to make more
You'll also find barley for food

[finite lodge]

i had a bunch of flax seeds and i wasted it all lmao

i tried planting them in meadows with my other stuff

[verbal sky]

Is there no recipe that make use of volture meat?

[long stone]

Question for those that play no map. How does modors power work at that point? Like can you still see wind direction or is it a guess really?

[merry pebble]

there is

[verbal sky]

Ah I see it, thank you

What about bonemaw meat?

[merry pebble]

unfortunately no, but it is a good food as is, tho it uses quite a bit of carry weight

[plush umbra]

cant you see like particles in the air? otherwise if using moder power then you dont have to worry at all

[long stone]

yea the general air wind lines i figured was the only clue in no map, but I wasnt sure if you still got the wind compass in no map or not.

considering starting a no map run with a friend and was just curious what tools change with that other than the obvious.

[verbal sky]

When sailing that'll tell you the direction of the wind without a minimap anyway will it not?

[fiery pier]

when i start a server, it just stays on loading any fix

[plain moon]

Verify game files if on steam, if on xbox check ur storage

[tepid spruce]

question, do you guys think there will be more xpacs after the North one?

[round lichen]

WHAT to bring to ashlands?

the essentials

[plush umbra]

Are there pirates or enemy ships in the ocean?

[long stone]

thank you, this was i think the answer i was looking for. I wasnt sure if that sailing wind direction would be there or not in no map.

[steel copper]

stonecutter mats to build new portal, then you can go back and bring whatever you need.

[merry pebble]

you dont need that, after you find materials for it you can go with them to your base, make the stone portal there and you can take any metal you want back to ashlands if needed

[steel copper]

it tooks us 4hrs to find 2 iron in Ashlands
easier to just take 2 iron with you

[pulsar mortar]

Friend, great food, ton of frost/silver arrows

[round lichen]

ill just bring it. dosnt make sense not to

[merry pebble]

why find it in ashlands? take it from your base

[steel copper]

that's what I just said

[merry pebble]

through the portal

[steel copper]

you can't build the new portal without first going to Ashlands

[merry pebble]

i never said you could

[steel copper]

omg...

[merry pebble]

taking iron with you the first time you go in ashlands just to get the new portal down there is entirely unnecesseary, you dont have any guatantee that you will find the materials for it anyway, and after you do its so easy to get them to your main base and take some iron back to ashlands if you really want it there

[steel copper]

the mats for stone portal and so basic you just need one cave but it requires a stone cutter. Taking 2 iron saves another trip to Ashlands

[merry pebble]

what trip? you have portals

[plush umbra]

how you gonna get the portal without iron

[ember dock]

he doesn't know the mechanism very well

[merry pebble]

you know that one way metal porting works right?

[ember dock]

You can take the portal mats through normal portal and then build it at your home, stone portals connects to wood portals

[steel copper]

the new portals can transport metals that's why taking 2 iron to build a stonecutter is so useful

[merry pebble]

and ocupies one more slot that could be used for something else...

[ember dock]

leave it asatru, they'll find it after a little bit of playing what we meant to say

[steel copper]

oh dear

[merry pebble]

btw thats coming from a guy that takes cultivator everywhere, that much of waste of space i consider it...

[steel copper]

yes but you can't build that portal until you get to Ashlands and finding iron in Ashland isn't easy lol

[merry pebble]

you dont need find any iron in ashlands...

[steel copper]

I know you just take 2 with you lol

[fossil delta]

Always take iron for a stone cutter.

[merry pebble]

no, you just have it in your base and when you find materials for the stone portal you take the stone portal home so you can port iron to ashlands 🙂

[steel copper]

yes or you can take 2 iron with you since its not really that much

[slender rover]

Asatru is correct that its not totally necessary to bring iron with you because of the one-way portal mechanic. BUT I still would because a stone cutter is supremely useful for establishing a foothold base in the Ashlands.

There are so many slots in the Drakkar that filling them is actually hard anyway

[merry pebble]

i have no issue about quantity, it just takes up another slot you can use for the many new materials you will find in ashlands

[vale turret]

I just got this game any tips?

[merry pebble]

if you leave it in drakkar then i have no issue with it, maybe just that you will have to go back to it when you want to use it 🙂

[fossil delta]

Plus building stairs into the citadels is probably the easiest way to clear them. Its what I am going to do, anyways.

[slender rover]

Personally, I filled my Drakkar with stone, iron, copper, wood, a spare portal, some black marble - basically all the materials to get a foothold base with a shield generator operational

[slender rover]

Honestly, leaving the Drakkar before you have a half-decently protected foothold is a recipe for disaster anyway

[steel copper]

I understand what you're saying, take a standard portal, find molten cores, go back home, build a new stone portal take some iron, go back, build another stone portal...whala!
OR take two iron...

[hasty mulch]

We play immersive and we needed about four stacks of iron for base amenities

[merry pebble]

actually thats exactly what i did (btw that was at the ptb start so there was much more mobs around) and it is staying there to this day XD

[slender rover]

where'd you set up your emergency portal?

[merry pebble]

like 100 meters away? 🤔 not really sure how far it is

[slender rover]

so you like to live dangerously. Surviving a 100 meter trek inland is not exactly a sure thing 😉

[merry pebble]

well i had a bit of motivation behind me XD

[slender rover]

My initial landing in the Ashlands was chased by a Bonemaw and ran smack into a swarm of voltures, Charred, and a Morgen for good measure. Thankfully I dropped a portal on an island just offshore

[merry pebble]

and it was around the coast mostly, not really inland 🙂

[half dragon]

My landing was somewhat more peaceful. I was given enough time to setup a shield, portal and summon 3 skellies... those skeletons did not last long with a shield. Was swarmed right away by the normies, nothing special yet. Started raising the ground every time I had a moment of peace... but at some point shit hit the fan for real. A horde of normies suddenly accompanied by bone noodle attacking my ship, birbs ambushing from behind, Morgen charged in from the front and Asksvins coming from flanks. Felt like a miracle I survived that somehow

The trip from sea border to coast was not peaceful tho. had to kill 4 noodles and many flocks of birbs

[plush umbra]

need skeleton upgrade that turns them into demons

[half dragon]

At very least something less useless

[plush umbra]

stared or green would be cool

[half dragon]

alternatively, probably should try to grind that blood magic to 70+, then they should be good enough

with strong shield and higher damage, surely they can get something done

[teal tiger]

It honestly blows my mind this game is as affordable as it is. The amount of updates and constant work they've put in over the past years is insane. I've never come back to a game as many times as I have with Valheim & it's 100% on track to eventually become one of my most played games.

This is honestly what games should be. Passion projects and every biome isn't another paid dlc.

[half dragon]

Yet some people find a way to complain how it's one of the slowest progressing games ever, while I also see the complete opposite

I suppose some people are just used to more frequent updates that barely add anything at all and when they see 1 big update in relatively long time, instantly assume they're getting less despite of getting far more in 1 big update

So many other early access games that I've played just make far slower progress and often do not add sufficiently new stuff to get me interedted again

[rain flare]

Welcome to Ashlands 🤣

[rain flare]

Mine was at around 84 when I entered and they could go toe to toe with the charred fairly comfortably

Buuut askvins, morgens, starred enemies and the lava aren't so friendly

[half dragon]

At least elemental magic is making good progress, just hit 40, went in with about 30

[distant stream]

If i was to get a staff without reaching the mistlands , am i still able to use it?

[daring helm]

You need eitr food, either from mistlands or ashlands so no

[vague field]

the ground started shaking no trolls spawned and the shaking went away

that was not cool

[distant stream]

Maybe its cuz u fell to the ground

lol , it was implyin he was thiccc

[daring helm]

Bruh you missed a chance on yo mama joke

[vague field]

i was putting coal in my kiln at the time :(

im not that fat im severely underweight

[marble delta]

since we're trying to do boss battles as a group, I was chasing down some of Hildir's quests, not knowing they then enter the raid rotation. I was alone in our village when the brothers showed up....

https://tenor.com/view/guess-ill-die-gif-9704573

[half dragon]

Wait what, what's going on? campfires that are within a shield are still at 1/10 despite of me putting them down significantly earlier than these new ones outside of the shield, they run out of fuel really quick outside of it

[vague field]

yay day 100

[paper marsh]

Maybe the shield draws part of its power from the ones within it

[fossil owl]

if anyone uses "seasonality mod" is there a way to disable its texture?

I just noticed that vineberry could be a viable option for 3rd food for a mage. 30 to all 3 resources might be just what I'd need to give myself a small boost

[warm sandal]

Question: has anybody else noticed that all kinds of mob do spawn in the night around the base? I got my main base in the forest and had fulings, surtlings Seeker and Greydwarf fighting each other.... o_O is that new or did i just never realize???

[half dragon]

Been a thing for a long time

it's caused by killing bosses

[warm sandal]

so each boss i kill i get nightspawns from that area around my base?... never realized... i just normally do sleep at night 😄

It's not just around your base

[half dragon]

Anyone figured out ideal material for ashvine farm? I'd like to use dividers since they make the most sense... but apparently they do not work?

[pliant hatch]

I didn't get them to work when growing at the (stone) walls of my house inside the castle walls.
Which made me wonder if they only grow when using the Grausten walls.

[merry pebble]

the growing is little bugged currently

[half dragon]

Hmm.... OOOH! I think I found a good material

Ashwood decorative wall, it looks more like a double divider. But it has the word wall in it... surely it counts as a wall

[plush umbra]

might only work on stone-type walls

[vocal rivet]

You have to put it ON something, yeah. It's too flimsy to be standalone.

[celest locust]

No, I have them wrapped around a circular stone tower I built. It's not efficient though so I need to spend some time experimenting with another farming mechanism.

anyone notice a little bit of frame freezing or stuttering when casting magic in the infested mines? it doesn't happen when i melee, only when i cast fire spells

[dreamy island]

what u need to do right now to open trolls raid?

[merry pebble]

kill elder and a troll

[dreamy island]

asking bc i did NOT kill elder yet and im started get trols raid

[merry pebble]

are you playing on a server?

[dreamy island]

but i killed a lot of trolls but NOT elder

[dreamy island]

yes but we dont killed elder yet

[oak walrus]

How should me and my friend prepare for fader? Im running slayer sword and flametal armor and my friend has the emblem armor and all staffs (except shocker)

[merry pebble]

do you have player based raids enabled perhaps?

[dreamy island]

we all not killed elder and we have fresh chars

even the owner is not sure why we getting it lol

[merry pebble]

are you really sure somebody didnt just reuse old char? because it shouldnt be possible 😅

or one last thing that could play some role are mods, if you play modded then the game can do a lot of weird things

[dreamy island]

u mean if some1 login with old char he can open the option?

everyone have new chars

[merry pebble]

i am not sure if it can then happen only when it checks the individual player or if it enables it in entire world🤔 you can look at https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events and see if you will learn more

[warm sandal]

ah ... i made growing the vines work 😄 nice 😄 now we need to wait 😄

[half dragon]

I also just finished a design for growing vines

and it's working, at least seems like it is

[warm sandal]

they need quite some space ...

and now i need to stop playing and go slee p 😦 good night all

[half dragon]

I figured out how to plant them quite tightly, somewhat

you can plant on both sides of ashwood decorative wall

WAIT, whoa! You can actually climb vine walls by spamming space?!

just use a dev command to remove it i doont like to use them but i do for rain bc for some reason my base turned into a rain forest and constantly rains so i gotta clear it sometimes just for some sun

[merry sun]

Mistwalker, Carapace Buckler, probably wine against fire, portal material, heavy armor and spinesnap with frost arrows

Best foods you have

[merry sun]

I dont like to cheat, when i use /stats my character still got 0 cheats

[wise tinsel]

its not really cheating to remove weather that is a consitstant bother

[pliant hatch]

Materials for the shield generator, iron for the stone cutter and perhaps some materials for balistae if you want to have some defensive capabilities.

[quasi gate]

would anyone want to play i just got the game and want to injoy it someone who is also new and plays a lot dm 17

[pliant hatch]

You may consider looking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 for that.

[thin moth]

I got tilted and just closed it. But ty.

I was getting very frustrated not being able to see clearly and it was seemingly lasting forever. On day 2 of new dedicated server. Just trying to look around -_-.

[wise tinsel]

i understand that like mine after day 12 ish it just decided to rain on a daily basis with few breaks got really annoying

[thin moth]

Ugh.

[pliant hatch]

You two are going to have sooooooo much fun when you reach the swamp. 🤣

[wise tinsel]

im past the swamp

[barren oar]

ive started my first strictly no cheating playthrough

[wise tinsel]

im fine with raind there but i mean when im in the meadows or black forest and i cant cook or anything because it wont stop storming its annoying]

[high hull]

Is the New ore rare? Havent found any at all

[wise tinsel]

i love stormy seas tho

[glacial rune]

Can I be able to transport Ore from a different map to my home base?

[merry pebble]

not really sure how rare, but usually its found a bit more inland in lava fields

[pliant hatch]

Yup.

Just keep it in your inventory, log out of the other wold, log into the one with your home base and drop it wherever you want to use it.

[high hull]

Hmm my map has 3 big Islands, fully doscovered one but not found any

[merry pebble]

that doesent seem right...

[pliant hatch]

You will also find ores at the spots where Dverger used to be.
If they're gone, just destroy the ward and the crates near the campfire.

[glacial rune]

If I do that I have to create like a comfort zonesnd possibly a longship in order to do the mining?

[high hull]

Hmm might be bugged seed or something

[merry pebble]

did you perhaps explore the old ashlands before ptb or full update?

[high hull]

No we made fresh map for New update

[merry pebble]

could you share the seed, i would also take a look

[high hull]

Im not at the pc atm, but can share/update tomorrow

Thanks for help so far tho, thought maybe we missed something

[pliant hatch]

People moved ores between two worlds before the portal modefier to allow ore portaling was there.

So you can mine ores at one world, log out, move to another world and drop the ores there without a problem.

Depending at the kind of ores you mine, getting some sort of save zone may be useful. But in general if you have the right equipment and food, you won't have many problems if you mine ores in a biome that is at your level or below that.

[glacial rune]

IF i have plenty of food brought along with me its certainly manageable the only thing may be a problem is the resting bonus which requires me to bring a bunch if matetials in home world to construct all the necessary furniture

[pliant hatch]

That depends at where you are mining.
For Black Forest, use an old tower and simply cut some fir trees to get the wood for a workbench to build the roof. Add a campfire and you're good.
Or you mine under a boulder or the copper ore itself, light a campfire and you're good.

For the swamp it's easier to find a building in a nearby friendly biome, drop a campfire in it and repair the roof to get the rested bonus.

If you use a mining world and a "home world", it may even be easier.

Get a rested bonus at your homeworld, log out, enter the mining world, mine until the rested bonus is gone, log out, log into your homeworld, drop the ores, get a rested bonus.
Rince and repeat.

[wise tinsel]

wait

you guys use your charecters to mine other server worlds then go back?!?!

[merry pebble]

you can, it is not necesseary for most people tho

or even usefull since we have world modifiers now

[wise tinsel]

didnt know that was a thing especially didnt think it was a common thing

[merry pebble]

i dont think it really is common, or at least not since Hildir update that introduced the modifiers

[pliant hatch]

For players having a "Building world" and a "Combat world", mining in the latter may be a better idea to keep their environment clean.
It's also an option if you don't want to end up with those deep pits where a copper or silver vein used to be.

[lusty kettle]

I have not gotten to the ashlands part yet (barely started in the mountain) But I have noticed people complain about too much spawning in ashlands, is it still like that?

[wise tinsel]

ahhhh i usually just refill them

[glacial rune]

Do you normally do this in soate time and this is all 100% legit?

[merry pebble]

its not that bad, it had much higher spawns in ptb, and it is also intended as a batlefield basically 🙂

[pliant hatch]

It's legit; otherwise the option wouldn't even be there.
And no, I'm not doing that all the time, as I know how much copper and silver are needed to craft the bare minimum. Which is a lot less if you don't use the Bronze and Wolf armor.

In fact, the only materials you really need a lot of is iron.
Swamps are able to provide more than enough up to the point you reach the Mistlands. And over there there's another option to get iron (and bronze), so I doubt a world can run out of it for solo players.

For people playing with a team it may be more tricky, but when having a "mining world" - which can even be the same seed with a different name - and one to build / fight with the team, that won't be a problem either.
On top of that, there's still Dev-commands.......

[cerulean osprey]

hey question about nests

do they provide wamth to eggs

[azure yacht]

Which nests?

[cerulean osprey]

Straw

[azure yacht]

They're just rugs like any other with a different look

[radiant depot]

What was added with the patch today that could cause crashes

[fair cairn]

you dont happen to have mods, do ya?

[steel copper]

I don't understand why they made new eitr food that has the same value as old mistlands etir food.
So dumb

[fair cairn]

lasts longer?

[austere flame]

is there a mod that shows the type (by type i mean what's making it) and direction of sounds?

[steel copper]

no, its worse 😄

[fair cairn]

you sure, it dont sounds like ashlands tier food

[fair cairn]

maybe ask in #mods-discussion

[austere flame]

oh i didnt see that channel, thanks

[amber bough]

i try to start a new world and then valheim says it isnt responding. anyone know how to fix?

[serene talon]

you just need to wait a bit generatin a world takes some time

[hot fern]

give it some time, it needs to generate the world

[strange fulcrum]

Is ther a way to turn off server progression? got new friends that want to try valheim and i rather not start over but having night goblins when you start is kind of rough? any insight is helpful

[vocal rivet]

Use player based events.

[strange fulcrum]

Is that a mod?

[vocal rivet]

No. I would never suggest mods to someone.

[gusty sedge]

[gusty sedge]

Thanks

[paper marsh]

World modifier (setting you select before loading into world)

[azure yacht]

But that's for raids, it doesn't affect wild spawns

[teal tiger]

Is there any way to make my tamed wolf kinda just patrol the area around my base? When I pet him to stay, he doesn't move further than a ~10m radius, so he pretty just sits in my front yard.

[mossy river]

I first started playing Valheim because a bunch of real life friends did. And they gave me what I think is the best advice, that the best way to experience the game is in a solo world separate from your multiplayer server, to understand the early game experience.

It's otherwise weird to only play on a server that's already into the game's progression. And there's really no good way around that.

[mossy river]

No. The closest you can do to that is to tell them to follow you, then jump through a portal. This puts them in a state of neither staying or following, and they will basically go wherever based on the mobs they chase.

[teal tiger]

Ah neat trick, thanks

[mossy river]

A mix of wolves told to stay with a bunch of wolves that will neither stay nor follow works for me. The ones told to stay are near my walls and are there more for breeding.

[fossil delta]

I agree, solo, or with my wife, since we play together all the time, is the best way to learn the game world. It got confusing as to what was learned from what with so many people finding mats for the first time, and you come along later and just touch them to get the recipes. So I only really learned the game doing everything on my own.

[azure helm]

so, just a small question, but for a solo-player world, should 5 sap needles do, or should I go to 6 or 7?

[pliant hatch]

Depends at the amount of roots you have close to your base.
I've been using one extractor for one root, as you don't need to demolish the extractor after you removed the sap.

Over time the root may show as being "drying up", but if you leave the extractor for a while, it will end up with a full load of sap anyway.

For me in a solo game 3 - and later 2 - extractors were enough.
't was a lot harder to find enough soft tissue, actually.

[fossil delta]

The roots refill over time anyways.

[azure helm]

ok, cause I've seen about 5 pumps work for a 3-player world, where I was playing mage

that, and soft tissue is no issue, since I have a steady stream of short door-to-door salesmen that visit my house and get mad when they run into my sword

It's totally their fault, im certain of it

[pliant hatch]

You will need a lot of Eitr early on when you're crafting and upgrading all - especially mage - gear.
Once that's done, you don't need that much Eitr for a while, giving you enough time to pause harvesting sap a bit more often.

[azure helm]

eeh I'll just put in the 6th and call it good

[fossil delta]

6 should keep you nice and happy solo. IE always have plenty.

Long term you only need 3. As Thorin said, its the early costs that eat up a lot.

[azure helm]

and now that I think about it, I don't even need addition eitr to blow up the stunties, I'll just use the chemical weapons that I'm already offered

those work well enough, I should've thought of that sooner, and I'm disappointed that chemical bombs weren't an immediate solution in my mind

or maybe they should be considered septic weapons, considering the kinds of glue used in making them, or does that still count as chemical?

[silent adder]

Is there some hidden way to find the infested citadel

I have been to 2 locations, and I have seen nothing

Tempted to resort to cheating just to spawn one

[azure helm]

pretty sure you can only find the stones in the infested mines

[pliant hatch]

If the world is from before Ashlands, the locations of the Queen may have changed.

But you can find a Vegvisir in the infested mines and those are always pointing to the right location.

[azure helm]

that, and just use a map generator to find the arena

saves yah soul, and yah needin that to get more wisps

[silent adder]

3 seconds from stealing nuclear launch codes

[foggy glacier]

just keep clearing mines. you're going to need the black cores anyway.

[azure helm]

I mean you only really need like 15 to build all the cool things, but the extra jelly for meads and seeker loot is nice

[pliant hatch]

Map generator points to the wrong locations too if / when the world is created before Ashlands content release.

[azure helm]

that would explain why I only found Haldor on the spawn island, when it said I would find both traders

you could also use the map gen to find mines or vegvasir stones instead of boss spawners

[strange arrow]

#valheim-help messageconfirmed by the guy who makes it here

[pliant hatch]

With an old (pre-Ashlands) world you can actually load it to the website to get the right locations.
It's more useful, but the location can still be wrong. As I've noticed when looking for both the Queen and a Sealed tower.

Problem is that Ashlands have adjusted both the southern and northern part of the map, disconnecting both Ashlands and the Deep North and because of that the area where bosses can spawn has been reduced as well..

[strange arrow]

it will probs see an update soon?

[silent adder]

Is there a reason none of my console commands are working now

[vocal rivet]

One of a dozen I'd imagine. Are you playing solo or on a server?

[silent adder]

Solo, no mods

[vocal rivet]

And -console is in your start params in Steam?

[silent adder]

mhm

[strange arrow]

console window opens at F5?

[silent adder]

Yup

[strange arrow]

devcommands true?

[silent adder]

...no

[azure helm]

all this over a minor termite infestation

[pliant hatch]

If you leave a world and later enter it again, there's no need to type "devcommands" to activate them as it already is activated.
Only typing "debugmode" is needed.

You only need to use the 'devcommands' the moment you close down the entire game.

[rugged slate]

Any Building nerds free? We are having some major issues with this house and can't figure it out

[azure helm]

I am not the greatest builder, but I am interested in assisting

[dusty orchid]

anyone to play together with?

[foggy glacier]

so realistically, how many bone fragments do you need to bring along to Ashlands, to power a shield generator, if you're just heading there?

[pliant hatch]

One generator needs 10. But it's better to bring some more until you found a way to replenish that stock.

[foggy glacier]

When I found out you need them as fuel, I stopped making bone bolts, but now I've got a chest full.

[pliant hatch]

I brought 50, but since there is a method in Ashlands to replenish the bones you use in a generator, that was more than enough.

[steep schooner]

Has there been many bugs found with Ashlands? I was hoping by the time I get there most things are fully ironed out but to my knowledge it seems like its been very stable and bug free, any input would be nice

[ornate sigil]

There were a bunch found in beta (PTB), but I have heard the list (on the website) shrinks almost daily since then. It was playable during PTB and I imagine, it is even more-so now that bugs are being squashed.

[steep schooner]

Thanks, I didnt know they listed known issues on the website but I found it now

[fossil delta]

Does using the serpent shield with the root harness do any good? Things like that do not stack, correct?

[ornate sigil]

I believe you are correct. you won't get "better" pierce resistance for having 2 items (unless they say specifically on the item like needing 4 pieces for troll armor sneak).

[fossil delta]

IE Pierce Resistance.

[fossil delta]

I think that was the answer way back when, but since its been about 15 months since I last played, I was not sure when my wife asked.

I still think the harness is better when we get to the plains, because the serpent is only equivalent to the iron shield. But until we get s econd harness made, maybe I will use the shield and let my wife wear the harness. Since she is set on killing lox and getting cloud berries and needles.

She is even trying to talk me into clearing villages, when we don't even have full iron sets yet.

[ornate sigil]

Also something to consider, the shield acts like a tower. AFAIK you can't parry with it.

[fossil delta]

No, you cannot. Which I am fine with. Its one of the things I choose not to do because I think parry is OP. So I use tower shields anyways.

[ornate sigil]

ok

[fair charm]

There is no flametal buckler and it makes me sad because the caparapce buckler is ugly

[ornate sigil]

in that case, it is better in the sense that it has a 15% speed reduction instead of the standard 20%

[fossil delta]

They did not use pretty looking bugs for Mistlands. Which is a shame.

[ornate sigil]

god forbid we had to fight off hordes of cute fuzzy bumblebees....

then the bees definately wouldn't be happy

[fossil delta]

I was thinking about the beetles with the pretty colored carapaces, but yeah, that would be terrible too. 😄

[ornate sigil]

beetles would have given hammers a good run with blunt weakness likely. then we could joke about a reunion tour every time there was 3-4 of them.

"no george, she does not love you "ya ya ya"!

[ornate sigil]

ya, not a fan myself of the mistland's shields.

[fair charm]

I would upgrade if the flametal shield is even close due to the aesthetics upgrade but I did some quick calcs and I'd be losing 36 parry power which is an insane amount to lose for a more expensive upgraded shield

And the gap widens with the block skill upgraded

Hey guys kinda new to valheim. Anyone care to help me complete my first playthrough? Steam. No toxic vibes. M/32/USA

#1024264966712340510 👍 you can make a post/reply there

[slim prawn]

@strange arrow thanks bud

[full apex]

i put a picture in screenshots. how would people reccomend i defend my base without having to build a wall though the ocean. the monsters just swim around

[shut cobalt]

As a harvester, seeing my friends spawned on their bed naked, eating all the shit i gather and rushing to the portal without saying anything.. i love this game.

[strange arrow]

looks very open on all sides, how were you planning on defending it? for example when trolls come and destroy that nice garden?

[full apex]

thats my point. its a pininsulla. and i thought that mobs couldnt just swim through deep water

its walled off on the land side

[strange arrow]

well if you raised the ground so it's very steep into the water on all sides that would do the trick, but you'd have to raise the entirety of the base like that or get the earth wall look you didn't want

[full apex]

i might have to just build out of the water and stuggle with it lol

[strange arrow]

it's a tough call but yeh, the trolls can walk up near vertical inclines these days lol (exaggerating slightly)

if they can find a slope inside, they'll find it

[vapid hearth]

So I found two copper nodes, and I manage to mine both of them, essentially making one giant quarry.
I store about four or five full stacks of copper ore into a chest. I create a kiln, a furnace, and a forge to turn into bronze on-site with tin I bring in from my travels. Two workbenches, one for each node to keep spawns off

After numerous in-game days, I come back. My first workbench there, my furnace, my kiln, even my forge. All destroyed. All wrecked. Their stuff was at least there, along with their produced ingots and coal, so that's good. But worst of all, those four or five stacks of copper ore, gone. Absolutely gone. All that hard work, fucking wiped.

I think I'm just gonna skip strengthening my bronze equipment and rush straight for the Elder and then the Swamp. Or just get as much bronze out of what I can scrounge up for the antivenom I need before rushing for the Swamp for its food

Makes me want to toggle on the fire hazard option for my next playthrough just so I can set the black forest ablaze and burn every single graydwarf within

[paper marsh]

Damn copper grind is real. I usually skip through it as fast as possible

[azure helm]

was it on a mp server, or were you solo?

[paper marsh]

Who wrecked it?

[strange arrow]

Bronze keeping gods:

[vapid hearth]

Solo, completely solo
I refuse to have my ability to pause taken away

[vapid hearth]

It had to be graydwarves

[strange arrow]

yeh either greys/trolls throwing rocks or a raid you didn't notice

[vapid hearth]

But my quarry wasn't a sleepable place. But it is in super close proximity to my black forest base

It had to be greys/trolls

[ripe cradle]

Hello! I'm new to the game

[strange arrow]

you had 3+base items there, a raid could have triggered, most of the spawns wouldn't have happened due to the workbench coverage but some could have

sucks that they destroyed the chests with the goodies in tho, then they would have despawned

[azure helm]

it isn't valheim without either tedious grinding, or head splitting enemies

[vapid hearth]

Yyyep, the goodies are all gone thanks to those fucking monsters. My scaffolding remained intact, though. Lesson learned: build a shed around any storage intended on containing all my copper ores, especially if I'm lucky enough for my base to be in close proximity to two copper nodes.

[strange arrow]

at least the forging equipment mats were still there in time to collect, that's something

[vapid hearth]

Or the popping of blood vessels that comes with trying to survive in the Mistlands for the first time ever, along with the nerfs to aqueducts that made finding them much less exciting

[azure helm]

at that point, Id recommend putting a deep hole in the ground, putting some chests in there, and putting the copper there, since ai tends to avoid terrain holes

[vapid hearth]

Indeed, but that's surprising

[vapid hearth]

But the quarry in itself is two giant deep holes in the ground together

[strange arrow]

you'd have to use some stone, make a little (earth wall)canal around the edges and pop the chests there

[vapid hearth]

Here's the quarry in question
#screenshots message

[vapid hearth]

Perhaps so, but I think they ignore wooden walls and roofs, thus a shed for storing my copper ore on-site

[strange arrow]

should be safe then from stone throwing from above and ground attacks

the wood stuff will break as fast as the chests yeh

luckily stone is usually on hand in giant pits xD

rare enough to even find 2 nodes close enough together to make one dig

[vapid hearth]

Indeed, which makes it all the more painful losing so much copper ore. And a stark reminder of why grinding for bronze is absolute ass.

[strange arrow]

hunting trolls has equal amounts of ass xD

[vapid hearth]

It will, yep, but I thought they only attacked crafting stations and ignored walls/stairs/roofs/the like, which is how my forge was destroyed meanwhile the wooden floor, walls, and roofs surrounding the destroyed forge were left perfectly intact

[vapid hearth]

At least troll hunting is MUCH less painful
Which is why I'll die on the hill that creating bronze armor is absolutely insanely pointless

[strange arrow]

well it's not like bronze armor prevents you getting 1 shot in the swamp

but it's not like troll armor protects much either

a friend in our group used to say he was going after trolls to get their butt gold xD

it's a bonus if everyone is at the stage where they need mega cash for belts xD

armor for the swamp is basically a red herring anyway, yr best friends in there are poison res, spice rack cooking options with decent food going in

[vapid hearth]

Maybe not, but at least its armor is only slightly worse than bronze armor, but so much less painful and soul-crushing to obtain
Hence the insane pointlessness of getting bronze armor in the first place when that bronze could be put to MUCH better use with weapons, tools, and/or upgrading your weapons

[vapid hearth]

Yep, and the materials to build a base there (or at least a shelter) and a portal, along with the necessary metals to cook there

[strange arrow]

you can leave the cooking for home if have yr portal, but yeh

[vapid hearth]

Maybe close to a mountain with silver found so I don't have to lug the silver I need all the way home

[strange arrow]

how do you have silver tagged when mining copper? xD

[vapid hearth]

Well, it's more that it's the ideal, even if completely unfeasible unless I'm constantly building shed after shed to protect myself against the freezing cold as I use my dowsing stagbreaker hammer to locate silver, and that's assuming the wolves don't get to me first. Hell, at that point I'd be expecting the norse gods to decide I lost the russian roulette and sends forth a two star wolf to ruin my day and guard my remains.

[strange arrow]

sequence breaking at it's finest

[round lichen]

is there a flametal buckler?

[strange arrow]

nop

[vapid hearth]

Yyyyep
Imo, a game this much of a slog and this willing to kick you in the balls deserves it, especially since I'm using my wits instead of using cheese strategies like chairing my way into sunken crypts

(i took frost arrows to Bonemass)

[round lichen]

damn im gonna miss the carapace buckler

the parry bonus is elite

[strange arrow]

i think it's still better for parrying

[tepid prawn]

just use it if you like parry, don't replace it

[vapid hearth]

Parry bonus based
Makes the terrifying goblins the fodder they deserve to be, and makes the giant bugs manageable to fight
Don't know about the scary two star medal purple bugs, since my brain is still back in the times in which I could only reach level 2 with mistlands tier equipment

[vale river]

has anyone made a functional triple spawner (in swamps) afk grinder for blood magic? got a single spawner going right now but havent found a video for the swamp one yet

[tepid prawn]

lots of mistlands gear can be made level 4 now

[vapid hearth]

Ooooh, finally

Does level 4 black forge require Ashlands materials? Just a yes or no would be fine, I wanna discover the rest for myself
I just know I need to bring at the VERY least two iron for a stonecutter

[strange arrow]

yes

[vapid hearth]

Excellent

[tepid prawn]

Level 4 Mistlands upgrades required 1 black forge upgrade that uses Ashlands materials, so yes

[tepid prawn]

I also recommend killing queen before going if you haven't already

[strange arrow]

and don't level up a weapon you want ||to enchant, it resets it's level after enchanting so only level after||

[vapid hearth]

Excellent, so my black forge won't be obsolete
Speaking of worry about mistlands stuff becoming obsolete, I can only hope I'll still need to use Nordic Mana (Eitr) to craft Ashlands swag, or that there are Ashlands materials that require refinement in that same station that gets me eitr orbs

[tepid prawn]

after killing Queen you'll learn that you want to bring something else along apart from stonecutter materials, also bring lots of Mead and I'd bring at least mats for 3 portals haha

[tepid prawn]

Eitr for mages is still a thing, for mage food too

I mean sap for food

[vapid hearth]

I don't mean the Eitr stat, I mean the glowing green eitr orbs

[tepid prawn]

its used for some crafting in Ashlands the green orbs made from sap and tissue

alongside new stuff of course

[strange arrow]

from the refinery

[tepid prawn]

its not a bad thing to have some stockpile of befor you start Ashlands

[vapid hearth]

Ah, good, good.
Time to (eventually) see if there are Yggdrasil branches in the Ashlands. And if so, I hope it contains the orange glowing branches I once saw overhead

[tepid prawn]

I'm actually unsure about this, got no idea as I haven't looked up enough in Ashlands to answer this, at least it means I can't spoiler that haha

[strange arrow]

you'll be just burning to get there

just think literal incarnation of fire, death and war, and bingo

[vapid hearth]

After experiencing the trauma and heart palpitations from the Mistlands kicking my ass every step of the way by big bugs and treacherous terrain that makes the swamp's bog feel like a walk in the park to the point of attacking the blue dorfs on sight not realizing they're not aggressive (and to the point of embracing the sweet safety of an infested cave) #valheim-public-test message
I learned there's NO such thing as over-fucking-preparing, unless the over-preparing leaves me weighed down and vulnerable to attack by mobs I'm completely unfamiliar with.

[tepid prawn]

true words 🙂

bring plenty of meads, the amount I used was insane, my Viking gained an extra 40kg from the calories of all the meads he had to drink!

[vapid hearth]

Oh no, the grandmapocalypse D:

[strange arrow]

getting a good foothold is the best non spoilery advice

[tepid prawn]

bringing 3 portals instead of one is another good one imo, is what I did

[strange arrow]

i was lucky, the boat didn't get trashed and i got what i needed in the first outing for the ||upgrade||

[tepid prawn]

I did have some portals destroyed sometimes before I get better established, played PTB Day 1

[vapid hearth]

Ain't that the truth. Advice that the VERY treacherous verticality of the Mistlands beat into my head until it got a dent.

I may even need to expect to lose my longboat to the flames, it being made of wood and all, thus truly passing the point of no return until I setup base there. Or maybe load a previous world where my attempts to chase Moder led me to try to sail through the pre-Ashlands Ashlands' shallow rivers

[strange arrow]

aye same

[vapid hearth]

Quick question. Is the aqueduct nerf still in effect?
If so, I may need to find mods that restore aqueducts' material potential from its PTB days when 1.0 releases

[tepid prawn]

I do recommend killing Queen before you go, just saying, but if you want to go without that its up to you +sing+ "just a little bit dangerous"

[strange arrow]

we have world modifiers now, if you want more drops just crank it up 🙂

[vapid hearth]

It'll be my first time killing the queen for sure.
What kinds of items and gear am I expected to bring? I'm personally glad Moder can be cheesed, since I'm so sick of having my bow destroyed from inadvertantly blocking its icecicles when I was trying to roll out of the way.
At least it feels nice parrying its attacks and attacking it with the wolf spear.

[tepid prawn]

gear for the queen fight?

[strange arrow]

well it's not her alone, she summons adds you need to deal with as well

[vapid hearth]

Yes, but I wanna affect the aqueduct material drops without affecting the material drops of the rest of the world, basically making it as if any structure found in the wild is considered the same as a player made structure for material harvesting purposes (the leather racks from the goblin camps were a nice source of flint and leather scraps, if I ever wanted those in the plains)

[tepid prawn]

Best for queen to make it easy (but might take a while) is magic, staff of embers + staff of protection and dead raiser I'd bring, if your magic skills are super low they should be leveled / grinded a bit before you face queen fight though. She is quite tough without cheese or magic, just doing normal melee

the strongest weapon for queen and her adds is the staff of embers easily

[mossy river]

Staff of embers alone is fine. Staff of protection isn't necessary, and if you're getting hit so much you feel like you need it, you're also draining your HP at presumably low skill at that point.

[vapid hearth]

Ahh, dammit, so magic will indeed be needed. Hopefully it'll stay relevant in the Ashlands, and hopefully it'll continue staying relevant (along with the ||siege weapons and the alluded FORTRESS TIME||) come the Deep North

[strange arrow]

melee on the Queen is tough going, if you are solo and don't have magic bubble shield and skele's to take heat yr toast

[tepid prawn]

there is a cheese too, not sure if still works nowadays, haven't done the cheese myself

[vapid hearth]

Greeat. Will I need MHS or distribute my stats differently?

[strange arrow]

and the ember staff is too crazy good not to use xD

[mossy river]

I also find sticking to the upper level makes fighting the Queen easier. Just circle the top.

[strange arrow]

works for most things, but summoning skele's i think you'll need 100 eitr+

[vapid hearth]

If I die in the boss arena, will my remains be there (and thus have to make a beeline for my stuff while evading her attacks)?

[tepid prawn]

yes

[mossy river]

Skeletons die too easily in the queen fight, you'll just bog yourself down and waste HP and eitr summoning/shielding them. Just use fireballs. Lots of fireballs.

[vapid hearth]

Was magic always that good? Or did it feel underwhelming at first? Because when I last reached the Mistlands, I read about how magic feels underwhelming or something

[tepid prawn]

I m still using them in Ashlands, cannon fodder and I need to shield myself anyway, and I like to run 3 eitr foods as well

[round lichen]

is Nidhogg better than mistwalker for ashlands?

[strange arrow]

resummoning them quickly does work, if you have good blood magic the shield lasts a good while and you can still blast/melee in between

they're paper with no shield it's true

[mossy river]

It's just a numbers game, what does more damage to the queen, a bunch of fireballs or skeletons and shields?

[strange arrow]

both viable

you have more breathing room with the skele's

[tepid prawn]

fireballs for sure, I like them as cannon fodder so I can stuff up avoiding some damage sometimes, if you're only using fireballs solo you;ll be the target of her all her adds, both ways work imo, some might be better for someone depending on playstyle

[mossy river]

I don't find dodging seekers difficult by that point. They get caught in the AOE often enough to die plenty anyway.

[tepid prawn]

maybe you're just good though xD

[mossy river]

I'm just a human 🤷

[round lichen]

is it pronounced "flay"metal or "flaa"metal

[tepid prawn]

I use second pronounciation, but I m a german living in Australia

[strange arrow]

yes but also don't forget summoning magic use doesn't end with skele's either, there's an even better use in Ashlands

[round lichen]

flay feels better imo

[tepid prawn]

||I use skellies and protection stuff together with Staff of the wilds in ashlands, hardly even not ember there because of how good wilds is||

[vapid hearth]

Now I'm hoping the Deep North will have potatoes come its eventual release, since those survive in the cold

[strange arrow]

ice rocks we have to spend a week shifting snow to reach

[tepid prawn]

the devs also said they plan on potentially having a weapon for each weapon type available, so another atgeir, another knive and all that even fistweapon maybe for Deep North

alongside usual suspects like swords and maces etc

[strange arrow]

the full spread

[tepid prawn]

and potentially a new weapon type we haven't seen before at all too, so mega amount of weapons

[lean sphinx]

does anyone have a mod suggestion to make magic more accessible early game? using thudnerstore

i have mods that add early game magic weapons but none that make it actually possible to use

[tepid prawn]

there is a mod channel i m not sure how to properly link it

[strange arrow]

#mods-discussion

[tepid prawn]

they might know, thanks Meow

[lean sphinx]

oh didnt see that in my channel list

[strange arrow]

it's relegated to the lower leagues of the discord channel list xD

(bcoz mods aren't officially supported, still?)

grey area for now xD

throw rocks at it

[vapid hearth]

Welp, since I have to go back to grinding for copper so I can get the bronze I need for kegs before heading off to the swamp, it looks like that long-ass bridge to cross the giant creek won't be so pointless after all

[late glade]

Can we discuss Ashlands in here? I had an interesting question to bring up, can't find information about it anywhere

[quasi gate]

have all ready started need one or two more we are at copper

[wise tinsel]

any1 able to do a body retrieval rq

[tepid prawn]

I'd always add biome to that question ^^

[wise tinsel]

mountian

i was doing great until a hunt began and 7 wolves jumped me

[tepid prawn]

I'm at work so can't do rq

[wise tinsel]

iv killed most but everytime i get close i get killed and im running out of potions

[late glade]

I posted it in #screenshots since it required an image example

[tepid prawn]

this creature exists in the game

[tepid prawn]

||its a fire troll thing, summoned by the "trolstav"||

[late glade]

ah thank you, now my mind is at peace. I thought it'd be odd to showcase a monster and not include it.

[tepid prawn]

||undead fire troll, quite tough, will attack anyone including the player summoning them with trollstav||

[late glade]

amazing. Now if only I could survive Ashlands long enough to obtain such a thing. If I'm not getting into unfortunate scenarios though, I just have the worst luck with ||Flametal Ore||. On the first strike it starts sinking every time

[tepid prawn]

can be obtained from chests in fortress as well, I got lucky had 1 fortress with about 70 flametal ore in it

also about 5 flametal in dvergr crates

[late glade]

geez, guess I need to reconsider my strategy then. I haven't touched fortresses because I didn't realize

[north pendant]

whats the recommendation of armor sets for playing magic? Do I go full maga regen?

[late glade]

In Mistlands I found that 1 Health food and 2 Etir food were great. Cape reduces jumping penalty for climbing and combat needs no stamina except for running around
Oh and Etir Weave robes of course.

[north pendant]

I cannot find an ideal armor set balancing regen and actual armor.

Full etir regen is kinda fragile.

[late glade]

The Blood Shield thing should be plenty. The robes are lightweight so you should be able to get away to recast it whenever it breaks. Also it gains a lot more damage absorption with blood magic level.

You can also slow pursuers with a flick of the ice staff here and there

[north pendant]

Do u use full etir weave sets?

Sorry I have too many questions.

[late glade]

Yes. I'm not really using it in Ashlands right now though simply because the shield and robes offer too little protection.

I've not gotten the Embla robes yet though or tried it with Lingering Etir and Lingering Health (I seem to recall those were added with the biome).
A combination of things like that could help survivability

[north pendant]

Thank! I will try them out and see how can I balance the survivability and regen.

[late glade]

basically my theory is lingering health and lingering etir could help with recasting bloodshield since it takes a healthy amount of both HP and ET to cast.
So you might be able to recast it more often if you are getting struck a lot.

Idk if the somewhere around 60 armor from full Embla will do well against Ashlands mobs with a direct it though, that's the tricky part

[north pendant]

I see

[rain flare]

No no no no no on extra health as a mage 🤣
Better to rely on magic shield and maybe take a stamina food with 2 eitr

You do no have anywhere NEAR enough armor in mage robes to even consider tanking a hit

You can case magic shield even at 1 hp, so extra health is redundant

[late glade]

In Ashlands that may be the case. In Mistlands you really didn't need the Stamina food. Especially in the dungeons

Did not know you can cast bloodshield at 1 hp. But that makes sense actually since it only takes 40% of your current health. So you can never truly kill yourself with it. It'd just take 40% of 1

[north pendant]

So full etir regen in Ashland?

two etir and 1 stamina food is the play.

[tepid prawn]

I run 3 Eitr, depends on yourself imo

[rain flare]

I do this too

[rain flare]

You do you.
That is the first time I have heard someone say you don’t need stamina food in mistlands 😅

[late glade]

Only if I am running mage. If I'm going melee then I of course take it. Otherwise though I don't feel the need. I'm pretty good at navigating and clambering I guess lol

[blazing junco]

The ashlands is very laggy, what setting should I lower?

[cinder echo]

Almost got my bow skill leveled up to 100.. hitting 90 soon home stretch fellas

[north pendant]

low fps?

[weary ridge]

Does anyone have two spare golem trophies?

[gray robin]

I got killed by a 2 STAR MORGEN. 2 hits on max flametal armor lmfao

[fair charm]

That's rough

2 star morgen I'd just treat as time to leave

[gray robin]

haven't had the time to run lol, staggered me on first hit then finished me with the second

[half dragon]

That's a shield kind of moment. I'd just yeet all health food for etir food and a stamina food if going melee

or just 1 etir food to have just enough to cast shield

[vague dove]

OMG I Hate Ashlands its impossible lost everything and no way to get back. No wonder I havent played in months!

[half dragon]

Went in melee?

[vague dove]

nope

[half dragon]

bow? I've been doing great with magic so far. Only died once while playing all day yesterday

[vague dove]

My friends died and then I died after portal was destroyed

[half dragon]

hm... did you guys bring along materials for a shield generator? wouldn't have fixed the problem but would have given at least some help with ranged attacks and help keep that portal intact.

For next attempt would highly recommend observing the coast a bit and try to spot if there's any spawners, if there are spawners very close to the coast, gotta bomb it with a staff of embers from safe distance. After coast is cleared from spawners, then start quickly raising the ground about 6m high, setup shield generator and a portal on top of it

then quickly take out any nearby spawners

After all that is done things should calm down a bit

still should avoid being there at night tho

[vague dove]

ok thx we will try

[gray robin]

I was getting comfortable with ashlands till that 2 star morgen showed up

[half dragon]

I've yet to get hit by a morgen. Idk what's up with them but they seem to be very easy to avoid getting hit when you focus on kiting it

of course... melee isn't going to have easy time

[leaden magnet]

good lord they need to tone down the enemy spawns in the ashlands

please just ten seconds of peace

[half dragon]

when there are no spawners near you the spawn rates become manageable, but that is assuming you're not attracting more of them to yourself by moving around or cutting trees

[leaden magnet]

thats the problem though, sprinting and jumping are insanely detectable to enemies which is fine in a biome that doesnt have such crazy spawns but even destroying every charred spawner theres a huge chance of deevolution into a giant mob of enemies that barely damage each other thats almost impossible to fight

[finite lodge]

is there a mod that skips the portal animation time?

[half dragon]

That's a loading screen, the area you're entering has to load first

Trying to skip parts of that will cause problems. One such would be enemies spawning in spawn protected areas. I noticed that while I was flying around my large island base to take pictures with sped up mode

[finite lodge]

what about if you enter the portal and the exit is right next to it

it still takes forever

[half dragon]

I think it's something they just overlooked. pretty sure it unloads the area around you and loads it again, not realizing the area you're entering is the same one.

It should be possible to skip the loading in that kind of situation

[finite lodge]

i was trying to make a hidden basement and am not creative enough for a decent staircase so i just connected portals to both rooms lol

[half dragon]

for that the 1m wide ladder could be good option, annoying climb up tho... ashlands added a similar option but it's at 26 degree angle like the 2m wide stairs. Or mistland spilar staircase. You could try to hide it with carpets or just have wooden floor you break to enter

[junior vector]

how do you approach a cultist room in a frost cave where there's like 5 cultists in one spot right behind the door?

[half dragon]

either bait them to you, retreat away from it after you attract their attention and wait a bit so they start returning, then go back and strike the ones taking longest to return. The other faster and probably safer option is to use ooze bomb

[hollow crag]

Ez throw ooze bombs at them until they all dead

[junior vector]

ooze bombs are a great shout tysm

[hollow crag]

Btw is there a way to go to ash land before queen 🤔

I can think of trying the harpoon glitch to throw myself there but that requires coop

[weary ridge]

Way to far

You’d hit a rock before reaching land

[hollow crag]

I can launch myself off from a high point like the mountains

[half dragon]

one option would be constantly repairing the ship, you can place crafting benches on those rocky spikes

[hollow crag]

I heard there are a lot of enemies

I don't think it will work cuz the dmg increases as you go further south

[mossy river]

How many morgens was that before I could get into that fort? 8? Sheesh.

[rain flare]

True, but placing a small campfire spawn proofing in the general area around your landing zone will help significantly

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[leaden magnet]

i did that and it does work, but i just wish combat encounters were more spaced out so i had some time to breath

[fossil salmon]

I just don't get this game. I built a chicken breeder. They ate from the pile of food I threw and made 6 eggs. Then they stopped eating from the pile and I can't place another one anywhere for them to eat.

[lunar sapphire]

Sounds like you have limited space for them

[mossy river]

It's deliberately difficult because the devs hate breeding towers.

[lunar sapphire]

Except they still work :P

[fossil salmon]

they are 12 meters above the ground, and they worked for a whole day

my pig breeders I built two years ago still work

[hollow crag]

Maybe the game don't want you to breed the chicken in an unethical way? Such as using a breeder

[fossil salmon]

that wouldn't explain why it worked for 30 minutes

[hollow crag]

Should just try ethical nature farming

[fossil salmon]

no such thing as ethical farming in Valheim

[half dragon]

Ethically grinded sausage

[leaden magnet]

i softly kiss every chicken before blowing it up with a magic fireball

[hollow crag]

The gjall trophy is disappointing, it's so small compare to the real thing

[patent pivot]

does the new update add any new content before ashlands or is it only ashlands

[fair cairn]

well the gjall trophy is the head of the gjall

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t think there’s anything other than the fire world modifier

[vapid hearth]

Oh god fucking dammit, I caught a troll right in the middle of my quarry destroying everything. I thought workbenches were supposed to stop mobs from spawning in the building area?
At least I caught it before the damage it did was permanent

Either way, I think imma need to build stakewalls around the entire perimeter of my quarry

[nocturne wolf]

Workbenches stop spawns, but the troll could’ve walked over to it randomly

[half dragon]

made sure to check there's no gabs in spawn protection?

[rain flare]

That screwed me over in the mistlands

[mystic gale]

Guys, few friends on my server killed yagluth before others and i had forgotten to turn on player based progression. Other players were offline during the kill but munin appeared for all players. i tried using console to turn off gob king key but munin still appears. I turned off events so that seekers wont spawn. Do you think that they would spawn even if i used console to turn off key? Is munin just bugged?

[rain flare]

Tiny gap and a bloody gjall spawned in 🤣

[half dragon]

oof

My way to ensure there's no gaps is erecting wooden beams at border of spawn protecting and where multiple circles cross, then when putting down crafting benches (burying), make sure the circle goes little bit over those beams

[vapid hearth]

Maybe so, but I thought it high elevations prevented enemies from being able to go down ledges
And this was a log wielding troll, so it had no ranged attack to destry my stuff from outside my perimeter, and it somehow got in
Looks like I need to build more workbenches, then

[half dragon]

Usually high elevation prevents path finding, but not always. You still need to pay attention to the slope, how steep it s. you can make it 6m high, but the slope might still be enough for path finding, while another 6m high is too steep because it was made a different way

a way to make it steeper is hitting at the base of it with a pickaxe, not too close so you won't actually mine the thing

[opal prairie]

I've tried burying workbenches and campfires but they always break when I cover them, how do you go about burying them?

[half dragon]

I put down a wooden beam that goes through the workbench, then fill it up and try to keep that beam over the surface, then with flatten tool slowly raise it to cover it. Just barely covering it would be ideal

Another way would be doing the same thing, but have multiple 1m beams at different elevations connected to that 2m beam, cover it up and break all of the ones that poke out of the ground

and 3rd way would be connecting the workbench to something that is visible on the ground level, it will keep it from breaking

[opal prairie]

For example a rock is sticking out of the ground dig near the rock, put campfire or workbench down, put a beam trough rock and workbench or campfire fill hole back up?

[vapid hearth]

Alright, so when heading off to create a new base, imma need to bring 15 bronze and 16 copper ingots. Then bring the same amount, with the addition of two iron ingots

[half dragon]

Haven't tested with campfires yet, and not 100% sure about rocks and other enivornmental stuff, but if it works as support, it should work

[opal prairie]

You can use trees and rocks to build stuff to so I'd guess that should work, I'll try and test this evening if I don't forget.

[glacial rune]

Do Yagluth totems don't respawn once they are looted? How do I get more its a limited amount in a world?

[tepid pike]

Fuling Berserkers also have a chance to drop totems.

[glacial rune]

Do Berserkers don't respawn if they are killed?

[nocturne wolf]

The raid with the sealed tower minibosses has fuling berserkers

And there's the fuling raid before yagluth is killed

[tepid pike]

There are lots of fuling villages all over the map .. you might need to try a few different locations

[glacial rune]

Do the fuling villages repopulate or they can't anymore?

[tepid pike]

villages don't repopulate

[glacial rune]

But they are a whole lot more Fuling Villages in one single world?

[merry sun]

There are MANY villages in each world, Just find a bigger plains Biome

[glacial rune]

Whats the most used Health and Stamina Foods for plains thats easily accessible?

[merry sun]

Bread, Lox meat Pie, Fish wraps

[glacial rune]

My fishing skill is not really low does that impact my anility get higher quality fish?

[merry sun]

No, the fishs spawn in the water independent of your skill, but you probably wont find a high quality fish so easily

btw If you do, the fishing skill does affect the stamina drain

Serpent stew is the top 1 Health Food at plains, If you find any Sea serpent the meat is really appreciated

[rain flare]

Yagluth totems are the most frustrating boss respawn item
You can’t get more unless you’ve aggroed Hildir’s plains quest

That raid spawns more fuling berzerks

[rain flare]

I don’t bury campfires - for workbenches I build a small hut

[opal prairie]

Base littered with small huts isn't something I'd want ^^

[finite lodge]

what levels do the crafting table and forge max out at?

[azure yacht]

5 and 7

[opal prairie]

Forge can be fully done in the swamp, for the crafting bench you need a foray into the mountains for some osidian.

[plush umbra]

you can combine iron wood and flametal beams??

i wonder if i can build higher with this

inb4 instance count doubles

[hollow crag]

Can some one with the harpoon weapon help me test something?

[weary ridge]

Yeah dm me and I’ll bring one

[half dragon]

Surely that fortress is down by now... probably killed 20-30 defenders inside of it already

[hardy rover]

Anyone have a clue why i have sync (cloud) problems on steam with Valheim? One and only game, been going on since release

it saves though, but i get error on steam

[spiral compass]

Is this normal? Before ashlands dropped I died in mistlands and was too tired to get my body back. Now post ashlands, I cant seem to find my grave marker

do gravemarkers get deleted when you update?

[steel copper]

Will have to test that but I don't think that's possible
They're probably just the same height independently, but I've not tested it yet

[hushed agate]

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, I made myself a new sword from the ashlands, which one should be better red, blue or green?

[tepid pike]

#building-discussion message this seems to answer the question

[half dragon]

There we go, the first fort is finally conquered

[steel copper]

as I suspected

[steel copper]

Few tips for taking forts:

• Jump over the walls before the enemy know you're there (build stairs)
• Pop bonemass and take out all the spawners
• Then take out the warlocks
• I usually spam berserkers

This makes them a lot easier for me anyway! A lot less mob spawns

[azure yacht]

Spawn it

[plush umbra]

currently testing it, takes days even on triple speed for the combined beam to dismantle at the top, ill report back when i have the results

[azure yacht]

Flametal = Iron beams

[plush umbra]

flametal can carry stone a few meters higher i'm pretty sure

[azure yacht]

Nope

[nocturne wolf]

Flametal isn't a replacement for wood iron, it exists to allow building in lava

[half dragon]

the real question would be why would anybody build on lava? it's a nightmare to spawn proof that area around it, dangerous to build, harder for you to reach...

other than looking cool

[rain flare]

Spawners 😂

Warlocks 🤣

[rain flare]

To each their own ❤️
I like it cause it makes my place look lived in.
I can also see the boundaries of my borders

[azure yacht]

Reach flametal pillars to mine them

[rain flare]

Buuuuuuuut that also leaves you open to losing flametal when you try and pickup the flametal pillars 🤣

[rain flare]

I mean the buildable flametal beams

Number of times I tested and stuff just drops into the lava

Ain’t no way I’m diving in after it 🙈😂

[half dragon]

oh god... these stone portals are massive. it's a miracle I managed to fit it into my warehouse, although have to redesign small section of the roof to acommodate it...

[rain flare]

They are huge

[half dragon]

Finally a portal that is large enough to allow your mother though it. (obv jk, had to be done!)

[rain flare]

Is offended in Moder

She could probably fit actually 🤣

Wouldn’t that be a thing - portaling mobs 🤩

Imagine your friend logs on only to find a moder in his base 🤣

[half dragon]

that would be really great, for real

currently transporting them around is complete pain in the ass, even if the new ship should be far more reliable for that

[merry sun]

If my pc Just turns offs, How big Will be the rollback?

this automatic save system seems not work at all

It's my first time playing, can anyone play with me?

[paper marsh]

I would say up to 30 min, but not sure

[opal prairie]

[unreal viper]

What does lfg stand for

[lunar sapphire]

Looking for group

[fossil salmon]

In my 600 hours of Valheim, I've only gathered 9 total birch seeds.

[unreal viper]

Thanks

[stark rose]

i was about to say, ifg would be i fucking guess. lfg is looking for group

[fossil salmon]

servers and i fucking guess channel

[stark rose]

indeed

[clever plank]

300 hours on valheim and I never got a single fish

[stark rose]

i have yet to fight a sea serpent myself, not including the new bonemaw

do you think there will be any huge major changes to anything when the game is finally finished and fully released?

and with the far north being the last zone. do you think they will release it like they have with past zones, or do you think that, since its the last zone to finish the game, it will be launched upon official launch of the game

[fossil salmon]

is there a chicken head trophy?

[clever plank]

nope

[fossil salmon]

instead of labeling my meat boxes, I put their head, but no chicken head

[clever plank]

I'm trying so hard to get wraith and sea serpent trophies :(

[stark rose]

put a chicken wing on an item display

[opal prairie]

A complete honey glazed chicken.

[plush umbra]

[sly pasture]

Ever since the new update my valheim crashes my computer every launch and has been unplayable. Support team has not helped at all. Other games on my PC work so it's definitely Valheim. Never used any mods and have deleted and reinstalled game at least 5 times. Anyone experienced this after new update a week or so ago? Thinking about getting a refund since it's bricked but I really like the game and hope to find a fix

[oak walrus]

is the vineberry glitch patched?

[opal prairie]

Maybe this can be of help: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

[oak walrus]

alr seems like the bug has been fixed (maybe?) but do the vineberries need cultivated soil under them when they are on the walls?

[untold vale]

How often is teh raid check.

[vocal rivet]

Every 46 minutes on normal settings.

[untold vale]

And on Hard?

[pastel latch]

wasnt it 28 or 38?

[untold vale]

Thanks for the information on the normal raid checks. Another question do events/raids ignore normal spawn prevention?

[pastel latch]

nvm I am wrong

[steel copper]

no, spawn prevention protects against raids, they spawn so far away they don't pose a risk
depends how good you are and building 100s of workbenchs or fires lol

and how big your base is

[half dragon]

Who needs stairs when you can jump 4m high?

[round lichen]

Nidhogg or Mistwalker for Ashlands?

[icy wing]

Any idea why there is no stone pickaxe? I find this quite frustrating. Im new to valheim and im just wondering why we dont have one.

[ornate sigil]

the first pickaxe you get is from the first boss's drops. though this game is similar to minecraft, it isn't a 1-for-1. wiki and YT will be your best friends for information.

[sleek slate]

Mistwalker IMHO

But im a krom enthousiast

[round lichen]

i need a shield for ashlands

[icy wing]

is the first boss tough?

[half dragon]

Basically a pushover as long as you're not bad at the game

[icy wing]

I wonder why they locked the pickaxe behind a boss drop?

is it op or something

[half dragon]

That's just how you progress the game in this one. Each biome has a boss and killing it unlocks something to help you progresss

[icy wing]

ah ok

[paper marsh]

General progression of the game is that you beat the boss of your current biome, and then what you get from killing them helps you harvest materials in the next biome

[icy wing]

maken sense i guess

[paper marsh]

Once you get to know the game you figure out the tricks on how to skip the bosses and still get all the important materials, but that's mostly more for the fun of it than really being practical

[opal prairie]

Finewood being a prime example.

[junior acorn]

Anybody start a public valheim server lately? ive been wanting to play but my friends never want to.

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 Might have some.

[verbal radish]

I remember months ago dev made it so that infested mine will have seeker egg regenerate , but this week i don't see them anymore , did they revert it ?

[foggy glacier]

I don't recall that. I think it's just seekers, seeker soldiers, and royal jelly piles.

not the eggs that spawn brood.

[half dragon]

oh RIP bozo, I just witnessed a seagul explode due to etir particle thingy hitting it

[foggy glacier]

fun

[opal prairie]

Maybe the IM was from before that patch or not enough time have elapsed?

[foggy glacier]

I think the latter. I had to jump back into one of my mines to re-locate the Queen's citadel after the patch and it was full of seekers & soldiers.

[opal prairie]

You do mean the royal jelly with the seeker eggs, right?

[verbal radish]

the egg hanging on the celling

[foggy glacier]

No, I only saw full grown seekers, seeker soldiers and royal jelly piles.

the eggs don't regen, that I know of.

[opal prairie]

I don't think they regenerate, like rudeman says only those 3 things should regen.

[verbal radish]

may be it only affect undiscovered mine before the patch :/

[foggy glacier]

I had already cleared the mine before the patch and found the vegevisir for the queen. That's why I went back to re-locate her citadel, because I hadn't yet visited it and the location had likely moved.

[verbal radish]

what do you mean by " re-locate queen citadel " ?

[opal prairie]

Correct. All mines discovered before the patch haven't got the respawning.

[verbal radish]

darn...

Well , i need a source for the jelly , may be summon the queen so she can keep spawning brood ?

[opal prairie]

That is a possibility or find a new mistland and some infested mines that you link with portals.

[rain flare]

I wanted to say fine 🤣

[rain flare]

Baby seekers spawn at night too

[verbal radish]

Even after beaten queen ?

[charred rune]

Only after that.

[opal prairie]

I refrained from making it a fine example ^^

[hollow crag]

After spending way too many hours testing, trialing and error finally reach Ashlands, pre Queen fight

Definitely would not recommend it unless you have too much time in your hands

Took a total of 4 hrs to reach it

[warm sandal]

i have reached it after i fought the queen...died and have been on a mission to retrieve my corpse ever since...brutal 😄

so if you go there...go careful... 😄

[hollow crag]

Welp

I am going in with my wolf armour 👍we will see how it goes

[warm sandal]

good luck to you... i am in second set of carapace and gee ... got my hands full not to die a second time 😄

[hollow crag]

The shores of Ashlands is definitely super painful

But i just tested today, and it's probably possible with a lot of trial and error

You can get to Ashlands as soon as bronze

[hollow crag]

Using the harpoon glitch, requires at least 2 people

Very inconsistent, and hard to get it to work

It was fun but also pain

[fossil delta]

So it does stack, nice!!

[rain flare]

The Ashlands ocean is my favourite due to music/ambience 🥳

[merry sun]

killed Fader 3 time in arow

[weary ridge]

Extremely

[untold vale]

I asked about the spawn protection because we had a "Ground is s" raid and the Troll spawned just outside our wall next to a Workbench.

And in all the time I have played I have not seen that before, so I was wondering if playing on Hard allowed for that.

[steel copper]

missing a spot then

[untold vale]

It spawned right net to a work bench, so didn't miss a spot.

[warm sandal]

did you actually see it appear? that never happend to me ... i turn around and then it is there...so i can n ot say how long it was there and did it walk over from somewhere? I personally never ever saw something "spawn in" right before my eyes 😄

[untold vale]

I personally did not but my Brother and a friend on the server did see it spawn there.

Like I said I have played alot and never seen it before, so it could be a fluke.

[ember panther]

My friends and I must have had the luckiest Ashland experience with where we landed and explored. Only did a small section and 3 forts got us enough bells to summon the boss which was also super close. Found it without a vegvisir

[azure yacht]

There isn't another build piece that prevents spawns other than work stations right?

[untold vale]

Fire, torches and stuff like that

[azure yacht]

Oh right, campfires.

Although I didn't know about torches

[paper marsh]

Any Player based item I think, of which there's a bunch

[azure yacht]

Yes, just checked.

But it's 20m for all of them right? Even light sources

[paper marsh]

yea, except I think workbench/forge/alchemy table (is that it's name?)/black forge range extends if upgraded

And anything that prevents mob spawns also prevents item despawns

[azure yacht]

Right, I actually skipped that part in the wiki

Maybe there should be a +plains pieces that prevents some or all spawns inside a 30m area, that being its only purpose.

Like a new type of banner or flag, could serve as a way to simulate conquering and expanding territory

Ward could server that purpose of they didn't have the same range as all other pieces

[vocal vale]

Damn I guess the build piece infographic is outdated now

[round lichen]

how to turn wood into coal?

[rain flare]

Burn it

[daring helm]

kiln

[round lichen]

i tried doing the fire staff log pile but it wont work

[daring helm]

you need to have fire hazard setting turned on i think

[smoky raven]

doesnt work anymore got patched

[icy moth]

Anyone down to raid some fuling villages with me? I need totems for Yag.

[idle storm]

Shield generators have a slightly bigger radius than workbenches (haven't measured it exactly but maybe 22-24m at its widest, which requires the generator to be underground since it projects from the top).

[cinder echo]

hitting level 100 with my bow skill today.. feelsgoodman. Ty bonemmass for being such a good training dummy

thatll be block and bow at 100.. deciding which to grind out next

[unique onyx]

fishing

[cinder echo]

ooof.

[idle storm]

elemental magic? At least you get some variety leveling it. Though it usually levels just fine playing normally.

[cinder echo]

Currently in the plains on this playthrough.. i was defo thinking that when we hit mistlands

Never played mistlands just now coming back to the game since before hearth and home 🙂

[dire obsidian]

hey guys,is there any server for newbie that I can join?

[cinder echo]

my jump is almost 90 i could finish that off

[nocturne wolf]

It's such a small difference to 100 but a very big amount of xp. Don't try to grind it, you'll get there through normal gameplay

[idle storm]

I assumed run & jump were already at 100 lol. Happens pretty naturally for me though i tend to jump a around a lot when i run around.

[nocturne wolf]

You're going to lose most of your skills in mistlands and ashlands anyway

[cinder echo]

just started this playthrough about a week and a half ago with some friends from wow

[daring helm]

how do you manage to keep it on such a high level, after 150 hours of gampelay i have running skill on 67

[idle storm]

don't die

[cinder echo]

very sadly im playing on a server with some noobs who cried too much about losing skills so we lessened the penalty for dying for them. Theyre still dying to greydwarfs while cutting trees

defo kinda sucks but ive been pushing for it to be taken off

[nocturne wolf]

Without skill loss skills have no real purpose

[cinder echo]

cause like theres hardly any incentive to not die you know?

[cinder echo]

agreed.

trust me it wasnt my choice hahah but i wanted to play with my friends

[idle storm]

Once you're comfortable with parrying you shouldn't have too much trouble until Ashlands anyway on vanilla.

Even Mistlands isn't that terrible if you keep your gear upgraded

[cinder echo]

ive long been good.. i played the game for like 400 hours before hearth and home update back a couple years ago.. ive been yelling at these guys to just block everything and youll be fine

like ive tanked every single boss up until this point with a shield.. you hardly have to parry with like 50+ block

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying bosses is a waste of stamina since they don't stagger

[cinder echo]

but they wanna run around like chickens with their heads cut off lmao

[idle storm]

true, especially once you get Bonemass power

[cinder echo]

its very comical how easy this game becomes when you just block everything

[nocturne wolf]

Unless you're fighting a later-game starred enemy that is too strong to block

[idle storm]

that gets your teeth kicked in in Ashlands even in maxed Mistland gear though.

[shy marlin]

Play on a harder difficulty and try that one out

[rustic compass]

hi Im on a queen mark but I dont see the bosses dungeon can it have not generated properly?

[past lily]

Me when i cant build new big door with spikes on it for my base😪

[delicate crystal]

@brazen hazel

[cinder echo]

I honestly cant wait... 😄 ive never played mistlands or ashlands and im very excited

[nocturne wolf]

If you used the vegvisir before the ashlands update you need to use it again

[idle storm]

the sooner you learn to just dodge attacks the better imo

[rustic compass]

oh okay thank you

[cinder echo]

tbh yeah good play i havent dodge rolled since ive been able to block trolls.

[nocturne wolf]

If an attack can be jumped over, that is better because it uses less stamina than rolling and you can start an attack mid-air

[idle storm]

Personally i prefer Mistlands though Ashlands is also a lot of fun if you like a challenge. Landing and establishing a beach head against the hordes was the most fun i've had in Valheim in a while.

[idle storm]

you can dodge a lot of attacks just by walking/sprinting, which saves on stamina

[cinder echo]

ashlands looks like more of my vibe no doubt. i think were gonna use a mod for the mistlands that makes the wisplight better because it just seems awful

[nocturne wolf]

It's not that bad, people complain about it because they don't like the idea of restricted visibility

At least try it before using a mod

[cinder echo]

no doubt yeah.

[serene talon]

i find the listening for dangers to be a unique and very intersting task

[idle storm]

It was at the beginning, but not too bad once i learned to use my ears over my eyes. And finding cool mist-free spots is always great (they're actually not that uncommon, it's not ALL mist). I actually explore Mistlands for fun now.

[warm sandal]

you get used to the mist - it is difficult in the beginning if you are used to see your foe before it sees you. but you get used to listen and hear your foe. In the end i ended up liking Mistlands a lot for the beauty of it

[bleak venture]

what is the best weapon for mistlands?

[warm sandal]

for starters take frostner

[idle storm]

Mistwalker or magic

[serene talon]

ooze bombs are good for the dungeons especially

[warm sandal]

because you need to kill quite some stuff before you can make mistwalker 😄

the knockback and slowing of frostner will help not to get to overwhelmed

[azure yacht]

Right, I forgot about the shields.

Although they're kinda expensive for something that could require extensive use.

And one of the materials require black cores, which are limited and also hard to find

[nocturne wolf]

You should have enough black cores if you don't find a vegvisir too early

[warm sandal]

lol i did find it very early and i had a streak of bad luck with finding only 1 or 2 cores in any mine i emptied out... it took some doing to even be able to make all the stuff that needs tthe cores ... but hey... i can always find a fresh mistlandspatch and find some more... 😄

[idle storm]

Not if you plan to use shield generators for spawnproofing.

[azure yacht]

I'm pretty convinced that they reverted the spawn rate nerfs at live release. Either intentionally or not

It felt overwhelming but fair just before live, but now spawns are just like they were at early PTB

[brazen hazel]

?

[warm sandal]

i am really fighting hard to stay alive ... can not go 2m far without needing to retreat to a safer spot because just so much stuff comes running

[delicate crystal]

@thorn socket *

[fallen zephyr]

How would a software developer unintentionally change something like a spawn rate?

[warm sandal]

if some comitt did not get pushed to the main-branch for instance

[fallen zephyr]

In my experience, the player is overpowered until bronze armour. Then, you'll feel totally inadequate until you cap your Plains gear. For the time in between, the key trait is patience. 😛

[warm sandal]

Weeeeeellll i do for certain fell underpowered in my mistlands maxed out gear in ashlands 😄

I have not even found metal because i keep fighting back stuff all the time 😄

[pearl ibex]

hi

[fallen zephyr]

I've not played Ashlands yet, because the update broke my world and I started again. But I concede to your experience on that one.

[fair cairn]

is maybe obvious but dont go at night

[pearl ibex]

I don't really know how the game works, can anyone tell me how I can join servers with you?

[warm sandal]

i never go in the night... the dayspawns are bad enough ...would not want to see what get's thrown at me at night 😄
