thats sad, havent even tried yet cause i feel too sad now that ill be solo

#

im getting real sick of my entire eitr bar being drained fighting one enemy when there's five on me at a time

#

the skeleton AI is crap, they can't keep up with you, their dps is horrible and they're basically only useful as meat shields to distract enemies while you slowly, agonizingly chip down their health bars one at a time

#

i couldn't help but laugh earlier when i summoned one and it immediately ran directly into the lava and died

#

I made that deadraiser one time with another char and decided it is not for me 😄

#

those skellys are hardcore though

paper marsh
#

If you get 4 skellies on Vhard at 100 blood magic I'm pretty it's 1200 damage each time they all do a hit. That's some nice dps

Not that many people are gonna play vhard or 100 blood magic

What ana said below

Maybe the changes weren't moved to the live released and stayed in the PTB.

#

That's just software development things

half dragon
#

And then eventually get backstabbed in deep north update with no dual axe 😂
Maybe dual swords next?

nocturne wolf
#

Dual dual axes
Or dual magic shotguns

half dragon
#

Dual atgeirs for true spinning death

#

you just spin like a beyblade

nocturne wolf

#

i'd rather have a battleaxe with a moveset that doesn't suck.

#

twohanded axes are kinda sad rn

half dragon
#

Trying to figure out which weapon would be best mage melee backup weapon, probably just atgeir, even if it's from mistlands

idle storm
#

In Ashlands? Either Himminafl or Demolisher.

half dragon
#

Ashlands been really damn good for leveling up, went in 2 days from 30 to 45 (elemental)

azure yacht
half dragon
#

But damn these infested mines suck for finding cores. Cleared so many of them but only got 30

steep girder

#

so far I've died only once to the big birb. I ran out of stamina and at that same moment it managed to break through my shield, and then went for a combo very next moment

#

but now that I've finally got my hands on ashland tier staves doubt I'll be at risk of dying much anymore

steep girder
#

Nice, it's been a smooth sail for you then... I've died probably around 50 times in Ashlands by now lol

#

My first landing was the worst possible place, it had 2 Asksvin spawners right next to it so I would get like 12 Asksvins per day, Morgen spawner there aswell and sooo many Charred.. The next landing for me was much better, so much more calm. It clearly makes a difference where you setup

slim remnant
#

what exactly does the shield generator do?

steep girder
#

It protects the base from falling fire

near inlet
slim remnant
#

ohh ok, thanks

idle storm
plush umbra
#

what does an asksvin spawner look like?

steep girder
#

Sorry I was unclear, they don't have an actual spawner (as in like the ones that spawn Charred etc) but more like, fixed spawn positions like Morgen do... Spots where they will always spawn if the spawn conditions are met. This is based on my own experience so far so take it with a grain of salt, but it seems like too much of a coincidence that some specific spots ALWAYS spawn 1-3 Asksvin, often several times a day.

are valheim devs on crack or smth. Why are they too good

#

merry gale
#

Does anyone play Epic Valheim?

cinder echo
#

i thought bow draw back was instant when you hit 100 with bows?

misty anvil
#

i wanna ask a question: does anyone else find ashlands less enjoyable because of the number of the enemies?

#

valheim was always a chill game for me, and having it be just COMBAT COMBAT COMBAT at all times gets really exhausting

jolly grotto
#

The Ashlands is meant to be hard...

misty anvil
#

i just wish there was more downtime

plush umbra
#

there isnt even that much combat imo

misty anvil
#

i'm just comparing the amount of time spent fighting stuff, and the only biome that had a comparable enemy density was swamp

steep girder
#

In Ashlands you kinda wanna pick your battles.. If you kill everything coming at you there's no time to do anything else really before the nightfall... Most mobs stop chasing you after a while so most can be skipped

misty anvil
#

it also doesn't help that i hard invested into magic in the mistlands. That one is on me tbh, it was obvious the next biome would be fire resistant

steep girder
#

Also, using friendly fire to your advantage is a great addition.. Big birds especially are great allies for clearing trash

jolly grotto
#

You might want to give it a try

misty anvil
half dragon
misty anvil
#

that's basically all i'm using, and it takes AGES to kill anything

plush umbra
#

there are more staffs in the ashlands

azure yacht
jolly grotto
misty anvil
#

by the time i'm done with a typical wave of "everything at the same time", another has already spawned

plush umbra
#

the mistlands bow has been pretty reliable for all enemies but the asksvin

half dragon
#

ngl, staff of embers > frost quite often. Only when the fight is up close I prefer frost.

misty anvil
#

3-4 skeletons, 2-3 pigs, at least one bird or morgen (usually two)

#

that's a lot to chew through

azure yacht
steep girder
#

Yeah, the spawning is perpetual that's why you gotta skip alot of fights, fight only where you really need to stop for something, most of the tail on you will have turned back by then

plush umbra
#

small birds you can ignore, their attack is slower than your walk speed

misty anvil
azure yacht
misty anvil
#

the small birds i actually completely forgot about, yeah, they're a non-issue lol

cinder echo
#

did they update the way level 100 bow works? on videos it seems to be instant draw but im only having very fast draws at 100

jolly grotto
#

But still, from what I've tested, the Staff of Embers still does some pretty good damage to some creatures in the Ashlands, like the Charred Warrior, or if you have a lot of Charred Twitchers in one spot.

azure yacht
plush umbra
#

yeah staff of embers is also pretty good for the dense fortresses

cinder echo
plush umbra
#

usually i just fire a bunch of thorns inside and wait outside

misty anvil
half dragon
#

embers works fine basically against everything, staff of frost is just that bad...

azure yacht
#

It was a good nerf

And is still op

misty anvil
#

or do you mean the old aoe fireball one

jolly grotto
#

Mistlands one

plush umbra
#

staff of frost works really well for bonemaw imo

jolly grotto
#

Yeah it does

half dragon
#

oh for sure, it shreds through bonemaw and birbs

jolly grotto
#

And Voltures too

misty anvil
#

oh, one more question that may explain my issues: does enemy hp scale with the amount of players?

jolly grotto
misty anvil
#

i play with a friend, but his PC is terrible, so in the ashlands he is severely underperforming in every sense of the word

#

so maybe i'm just being sandbagged by him, and that's why combat is such a slog there

plush umbra
#

it gets easier with the ashlands equipment for sure

half dragon
#

it's not too bad solo, still extremely slow start, but once you get going it's not that bad

jolly grotto
misty anvil
#

also, we got trolled by the sinking ore once, and recovering the gear was HELL

jolly grotto
#

You gotta be quick aRPGFawfulChortles

misty anvil
#

it's more the fact that for at least 15 seconds we thought the lava was rising, rather than the pillar sinking

half dragon
#

What is annoying about those is how hard it is to get a good footing, feels like you're trying to jump on slippery rocks

plush umbra
#

half the time on those rocks i just get knocked off by a bird, its annoying

jolly grotto
#

Lol. True. I recall something similar happening to me aswell

plush umbra
#

though with the queen power you can get a surprising amount of ore ive found

jolly grotto
#

And sometimes I aggro a nearby valkyrie, then it's all about getting the heck out of there

half dragon
#

probably good idea to make sure there's no flying shits anywhere near you

azure yacht
#

It's probably the first time a tool/weapon becomes actually necessary to upgrade on any setting

misty anvil
#

btw, did anyone else see a valkyrie flying for the first time and get a slight hint of Shriek from the second Ori game? they have a similar vibe when flying in the distance

#

idk why, but that thing's imagery has stuck with me more than it probably should have

outer marten
#

anyone need an extra to fight the queen?

misty anvil
#

(by valkyrie i mean the ashland enemy, not the start ravens)

jolly grotto
#

They look alike

#

Well, mostly. They both have that same vibe

ngl imagine if deep north has references to diggy diggy hole in the main theme, that'd be nice

#

this version specifically, the more valheim themed

at least if dvergr will spawn there to have it in the theme of their camps

near saddle
#

you can only get 1 Dyrnwyn per world, even in multiplayer?

#

aw, that's sad, but I get that it's supposed to be a nice reward

paper marsh
#

I'm guessing upping resource rate would mean multiple swords per world

azure yacht
#

I really don't think that one's affected by the slider

idle storm
near saddle
#

I'm checking with a video, two of the fragments can be found just lying on a pedestal, the third one drops from Lord Reto

#

the rate modifier would have to affect the action of picking the fragments up from a pedestal

near saddle
steep girder
#

It's good for everything but Ashlands 😄

idle storm
#

Since it ||lacks a proc effect and only gets a flat 10 fire damage|| it does less damage than the other Ashlands swords, Mistwalker and even the Silver sword (vs spirit-weak) against Ashlands enemies.
And most enemies in Ashlands are resistant or immune to fire on top of that so it's basically a basic Nidhogg with a fancy light effect that eats the gems you'll need the most of to craft.

near saddle
#

oh that sucks. I wish it was meaningfully stronger given the quest needed to obtain it

gilded jacinth
#

Did they patch the stagbreaker uncovering chests?

nocturne wolf

steep girder

#

Ahh ok

near saddle
idle storm
near saddle
#

updating the wiki page with this info

idle storm
#

it's already there

near saddle
#

I meant the obtaining + it being bad in Ashlands

gilded jacinth
idle storm
#

it's bad everywhere. It does less slash at level 2 (131) than a basic level 1 Nidhogg (135), +10 fire damage. Which gives 6 point damage advantage before weaknesses or resists.

#

lightning nidhogg gives you more slash, 10 lightning damage and a 25% chance to get a triple-digit chain lightning proc on top of that.

near saddle
steep girder
#

Lvl 2 Dyrnwyn has 151 Slash though (not 131) but yeah I woulda hoped the fire damage would have increased at level 3, there's still hope for level 4 in the future

near saddle
#

it does?

#

I'll check the datamine again

steep girder
#

I have one in my backpack this very moment 😛

idle storm
#

it would need to be a huge increase to keep up with lightning procs. Even primal is pretty nasty against enemies not immune to poison.
The lack of a powerful proc is what really hurts dyrnwyn.

idle storm
nocturne wolf
#

Not particularly useful in ashlands but unique and works with the swords design

near saddle
#

oh yeah, it looks like stats changed, and the datamine was outdated
correcting now

idle storm
#

i'd be happy with a fireball proc centered on myself. Just exploding into a blast of flame every couple swings would be awesome (especially with spreading fires modifier lol)

steep girder
#

Agree @idle storm it needs a bit of flavor like the other magical weapons in Ashlands, proc or something.. I made a suggestion earlier to have it dry you down/prevent getting wet when wielded

idle storm
#

it just lacks awesome for a supposedly legendary weapon.

steep girder
#

Yep, kinda does, it's not bad but a bit lackluster among the new magic weapons and their procs

Just checked, you are correct

rustic compass
#

can you get fine wood in ash lands?

calm dust
#

Haven't got there yet

idle storm
# azure yacht And?

a fire weakness doesn't matter much if only a tiny fraction of your damage is actually fire damage.

#

which is why any hopes that Dyrnwyn will become useful in DN is a pipedream in its current form.

calm dust
#

Mass farming mod was the cause of not being able to mine silver...odd

azure yacht
# idle storm which is why any hopes that Dyrnwyn will become useful in DN is a pipedream in i...

They could make it so you need to...

  1. Unlock something very important in DN

  2. Use it against something that specifically receives damage from dyrnwyrn or is affected by dyrnwyrn somehow

  3. just add a 0 at the end of the fire damage value

You're only and exclusively thinking of the "weapon vs enemy" thinking when they could think of 10k things that the sword could be used for besides just fighting

#

And the last one is the easiest one

near saddle
calm dust

MassFarming v 1.5.0 by mokutan

#

same, can't use debug when active

idle storm
#

it's a sword. It's purpose IS fighting. It's also why i specified "in its current form". It needs a buff.

  1. being a key does not make it any better as a weapon. It makes it the same thing it is now, a wall ornament after you unlocked the whatever.
  2. see above. You get it out for its super-special purpose and then it's back to another weapon while Dyrnwyn gathers dust.
  3. lame. Why does the legendary weapon receive less effort than the gem enchants?
azure yacht
#

Those are examples.

There could still be 99,997 things they can think for dyrnwyrn.

And 100 permanent fire damage in a frost biome is literally 10 times better than its current state whether it has a special attack or not. Especially considering that there's no fire gem/enchantment

mossy river
#

I maintain that it will basically remain a wall hanger due to multiplayer balance concerns.

near saddle
#

the game already has bad multiplayer balance

#

I feel like making the legendary sword useless isn't a good design choice

azure yacht
mossy river
#

One person getting a better weapon than everyone is is unbalanced by definition.

#

The better it becomes, the more that's exacerbated.

near saddle
#

then the question is how much should PvP be considered

azure yacht
near saddle
#

I think so too. so point about Dyrnwyn giving an edge is moot

azure yacht
#

It's not like one person has it and then everyone else is screwed somehow

shy marlin
#

Can't wait for Deep north to be staff of embers land

Dyrnwyn should be a bit more unique in it's fighting style. Like a different special attack or something

# steel copper Yea, its pretty brutal. Getting yetted into the middle of a lava lake by an Ashv...

I don't mind the brutal difficulty spikes. That's what made valheim fun. What's driving me up a wall is everything is they made everything a slog to up the difficulty. exploration is a slog, farming becomes like a 15 minute brawl and your downtime is like 2 minutes. You can't do anything without lighting more campfires than the entire dark souls franchise in the immediate area or fighting all the time

Nah

I think Fader uses fissure and meteors too much, giving a single player no time to attack because it’s constant running throughout the whole fight

Bring mats for a stonecutter as you will need it.
Make sure you make your base spawnproof (campfires will do) and set up the shield generator asap.

And regarding buildings; there are some Dverger outposts over there which are most likely already overrun.
If you happen to be able to land near one and if the Dverger are gone, claim it as your base as it's quite easy to defend, plus the crates in there may help you a lot with materials.

And regarding that ship; sail south until you get close enough to the Ashlands to see the red water.
Find a spot in another biome - even Mistland islands can do - and set up a small base build in Black Marble over there. Make sure you got a portal and a workbench there and craft that ship over there.
It'll be very useful if you want to return to Ashlands after you died and your portal got destroyed.

fair charm
# little quiver on the server modifiers is setting the raid frequency to "much more" too overwhe...

It'll probably just get incredibly annoying to be honest, I've never found a raid to be much of a threat just another chore that I need to take care of back at base like filling up fireplaces and torches.

It's more of an "Oh now I've gotta go fight off XYZ and that means my food might burn".

Looks like based on probability, you'll get a raid every 4 hours 10 minutes on normal settings, on "Much More" you'll get a raid every 70 minutes on average

#

If you want to see if you'll find it annoying, set an alarm to go offf every 14 minutes and do five push ups every time it goes off, see how long it takes before you get sick of the alarm

#

Those stupid bats showing up every 14 minutes...

#

Considering that the longest events are 2.5 minutes, you'd potentially be spending approx 20% of your time dealing with raids, then you've got to fix up all the base structures they've damaged, rebuild everything that's been destroyed etc

Also I disagree that spears are good, the vertical combat issue seems to be massively exacerbated by spears overhand attack

I usually use spears in throw mode...for melee I'll use something else.

Honestly you don't need to mine out under it, just mine out the base and it'll collapse, you can also just lure over a lox and get that to smash the base up and it'll fall

But the real question is why make a spear beyond flint level?

Flint spear: top tier weapon
Every other spear: Pretty okay but you can probably farm up something equally good or better

Yeah, I think it is only stone...if you smack it with a pickaxe, does it give you anything else?

Unlike silver sword which takes you 40 silver to make the first level of it, you can make many tier 4 spear with that amounts of silver

Does the new boss spawn adds?

fair charm
# hollow crag They are cheap

Not overly
Bronze spear is 2 less bronze than a mace which is really good
Ancient bark spear is cheaper than the iron mace but you can usually get 20 iron out of a crypt
Fang spear is cheap I'll pay that, but instead of silver sword you can go for frostner which is cheaper and it great up to and through mistlands
Carapace spear doesn't cost refined eitr but you still need a black forge and at that point you can make an arbalest or a krom without needing to kill two seeker soldiers

#

And the ashlands spear doesn't make sense because all of the charred and the morgen take 0.5x damage from pierce and that spear ONLY does pierce

Fallen valkyries are the easiest enemies to deal with in ashlands to be honest

pure ore

run them in circles and pop shots as they hurt themselves on the spikes

I wouldn't say so

they do massive damage

fair charm

They've got three attacks
Peck (easily able to be dodge rolled because of it's clear telegraph)
Doom spin thing (just slow walk away and it'll miss)
Fireball (just slow walk away and it'll usually miss)

#

You can dodge 2/3 of the attacks by just holding S while reloading the arbalest

#

And the peck is the easiest skill to dodge roll consistently in the ashlands

pure ore

try running from them. you gotta find something to hide around

I guarantee you that's not the case

okay there we go, pay no attention to the corpse run debuff at the start there was a 2 star charred warrior incident

#

Nevermind youtube is gonna take a while to make it viewable

slender rover
#

I have 800 hours in Valheim and honestly Fallen Valkyries are the most obnoxious pain in the ass enemies yet encountered. I don't yet have any Ashland crystals and fighting them off with mistlands tier weapons is a pain because once again you can't hit anything in melee that isn't level with you

fair charm
#

Arbalest

slender rover
#

What's your skill level in it? Because under 30 is an absolute painful slog with carapace bolts

#

Also I have no idea how you managed to fight a Valkyrie without being swarmed by Charred and Askvin

fair charm
#

let me check, and yes I'm using an upgraded stormripper or whatever it is, would still be a faster fight with arbalest if I didn't spend 3/4 the fight faffing around with my melee weapons out to show you can just slow walk away from it's attacks that aren't the peck

fair charm
#

and my crossbows skill is level 15

slender rover
#

You must be playing a different game because killing them first usually just means I am out of stamina while more spawn and the Valkyrie is literally on top of me.

Ashland's is horrible to go round, it the spawn rate is far too extreme, pls tone it down , too hard and making the lovely chill game we grew to love alot less pleasureable, we cannot go explore as soon as we leave the portal base , it's mob after mob 😡😞

fair charm
#

Also parrying and dodge rolling are very important mechanics, if you've not learned them before ashlands it's time to learn them, once you get a bit used to it it's not quite so bad

#

Also taking bonemass is a good way to clear out an area, just go in swinging and kill everything and then pop down the spawn blockers

#

Also if you're playing with a group, ashlands isn't really ready for that yet, game's really laggy with players in ashlands specifically for some reason, all other biomes are fine

honestly give it a proper go, if you're playing in a multiplayer environment then yeah probably either wait until the networking issues get fixed or install BetterNetworking to fix the teleporting mobs, but once I learned to deal with ashlands it's actually not that bad, you've just got to move slowly and put down spawn blockers

Why 90% of the time i sailing it be foggy weather and couple with the newest boat which aft section is much further that what i can see and it is a recipe for an accident ...

How do i demolish the boat and retrieve full mat? the workcraft station + hammer not work .

fair charm

The fog is just how it is, game detects you sailing and decides that no you're not gonna have a good time, same for wind blowing in your face

As to demolishing the boat unfortuantely the only way to do so is hit it with a weapon, ideally stand at the mast because there's where it's drops spawn when you break it down

Just means that rather than actually looking at the majority of the screen I'm just laser focused in on the top right navigating entierly by the minimap or I just slow down

you aren't taking away realism by reducing the amount of fog that comes up; the amount of fog that comes up isn't based on realism, it's based on rng

humble mica

I only have foggy sailing maybe 30% of the time. I think you're just unlucky with your timing. Pretty sure weather is predetermined and not even dependent on seed, same as the wind

hot fern

i find the fog/mist to be pretty annoying myself, it's fake difficulty added in to exploration imo

fair charm

I'm also gonna say that as someone who lives by the water fog isn't that common and I've almost NEVER seen it as thick as it is very often in valheim

And when I did see it that thick was actually way up in the mountains so it wasn't even fog it was just a cloud

ionic iron

Jesus next you’ll be saying the mist is annoying…

hot fern

it is

humble mica

I like the mist. It forces you to adapt in ways that aren't 'get bigger stick'

after some time though, personally, i find the mist obscuring my view of literally everything to get pretty dull

the initial challenge is neat

humble mica

It's a good thing that Mistlands isn't the penultimate biome anymore, then 😛

fair charm
#

Mistlands is the penultimate biome now though?

humble mica
#

No, it isn't. That'd be Ashlands.

fair charm
#

penultimate means second to last?

#

And ashlands is currently the last biome?

humble mica
#

Direct from the devblog: "We also want to remind everyone that Valheim is meant to be a difficult game, and that it’s meant to be more difficult the further you progress – and the Ashlands is the **penultimate** biome of the game.

hot fern
#

it's penultimate for the game, but it's not done yet.

humble mica
#

Correct.

outer vortex
#

"Does penultimate mean last or second last?
Penultimate means “next to last.” Sometimes it is used erroneously as if it referred to something beyond ultimate, meaning “the very best,” but the prefix pen- means “almost.” Penultimate can seem like a superlative version of ultimate, but it isn't." -Merriam-Webster

fair charm
#

But mistlands was never going to be the second to last biome so I don't know why you'd say it isn't the penultimate biome anymore?

humble mica
#

The point is that you can now progress beyond Mistlands, so there's a reason not to stay there forever

outer vortex
#

"Almost last"

fair charm
#

Yes, but I don't need to go to the mistlands, all I've got to do is get on a boat and the mistlands comes to me

hot fern
#

What are you guys even arguing about? Forget the semantics, his point was that it's not endgame anymore, so it's more of a choice whether or not we want to stay in the mist now

#

which is absolutely true and awesome (:

fair charm
#

Yes but the complaint wasn't about the mists in the mistlands, they're annoying but they do have something you can do to mitigate it

hot fern
#

i'm sorry, but it actually was

fair charm
#

The complaint is about the fog on the water when you're just trying to go about your 45 minute trip somewhere

hot fern
#

it was about two things: fog AND the mist in the mistlands.

#

obscuring of view with weather effects in general

fair charm
#

No, the original complaint was about fog, while afterwards someone said "I also don't like mist" and now the whole topic has derailed into "Well if you don't like the mistlands you don't have to do there" which is meaningless as the original complaint was about the prevalence and thickness of fog while sailing and how it's just not a fun experience because you can't do anything to mitigate it and getting your boat unstuck is a chore

hot fern
#

alright kiddo, think what you want, but just drop the topic

humble mica
#

Don't know what to tell you, it's been there from the start and was never intended to go away. Mod it out or stop playing the game.

outer vortex
#

Dying isn't fun either. Do you want that removed from the game?

fair charm
#

I can mitigate dying by getting good?

#

Can you tell me what makes fog a good and entertaining mechanic?

outer vortex
#

You can mitigate the effect of fog by sailing during better weather or shorter distances.

fair charm
#

That's not mitigation that's avoidance

outer vortex
#

Playing with semantics again.

humble mica
#

Fog is and always has been a part of the game, just like a day/night cycle. ANd having water. And structural integrity.

fair charm
#

Yes, but again you didn't tell me what makes it a fun/good mechanic, you just said "If you just don't interact with the game while fog is happening you don't have to deal with it"

humble mica
#

Because that's how you deal with a lot of things in life?

outer vortex
#

No, you can choose whether to avoid it or deal with it

fair charm
#

Okay, and how do you deal with it?

humble mica
#

FFS man, do you expect the sun not to set when you're having a good day? "Night time is not a fun mechanic"

outer vortex
#

Slow your freakin boat down

outer spindle
#

Yeah, I think it's overkill if your viking has command over the weathers, especially in a multiplayer server.

fair charm
#

Okay, now the time I spend sitting there staring at the screen not actively participating in the core gameloop of valheim has extended 4x as long as it always has

humble mica
#

I sail during fog all the time. If you are really that crippled by foggy weather, you probably shouldn't be sailing anyway lol

fair charm
#

And I'm not saying that fog should disappear entirely, I'm saying that it could stand to be less common, and have the real thick stuff be way less common than it is

outer vortex
#

Some people enjoy sailing. If you don't, use portals.

fair charm
#

Just because something's annoying doesn't mean that it prevents me from playing the game, it's just a minor frustration, like a doorhinge that creaks really loudly, is it an irritant, yes, does it prevent me from opening the door, no, would I enjoy using the door more if that didn't happen or if it happened with less intensity/frequency, yes

humble mica
#

So mod it out?

fair charm
#

I feel like you're missing the point deliberately here, yes I have the capability to do that, I don't, because it doesn't bother me that much, however, if someone points out that it's unrealistic that valheim spends about 1/3 of the time under category X fog and that it's especially annoying when sailing I am going to agree with them

#

You do know that valheim isn't a perfect game and that it is possible to enjoy the game while still wishing that some things were different right?

humble mica
#

You're the one making large complaints about the fog and everyone else is just saying 'eh, it happens sometimes. We deal with it', but that wasn't enough for you. So here we are.

it is what it is, i don't think they're going to change it and honestly even though the amount of fog annoys me a bit, that's what comes with the game and it's just something we gotta live with, it's a minor opinion thing, some others may enjoy it, same thing with certain types of combat or weapons in the game, people have their own unique skill and that molds their style/gear that they get

Everyone has things in the game which they think are too challenging. If the mods eliminated all of them, people would complain the game was too easy.

Timeline:
Original complaint: There's lots of fog and it's a bit annoying

Rebuttal: No having class X fog all the time is realistic, you're not experiencing that, I've never seen fog in the game, you're just bad at the game

Me: Fog does happen and it's annoying

You: Just mod it out if you're that bad at the game

hmm i need help , i check for Hildir quest mini boss location before the Ashland update , now i just reached one of the sealed tower location but there is nothing , do i need to visit Hildir again ?

#

I'm beginning to suspect it might be a crossplay issue (I'm hosting, one player on xbox playing with me), as I've never had the issue in multiplayer before, and it seems they see objects near-broken when those same objects are not damaged at all for me, and vice-versa. I don't recall seeing this as a known issue, but I could have missed it

Could have been introduced with ashlands

#

My 2 cents: I like the fog. It makes navigating in the boat EXCITING and CHALLENGING! But I can see how some might find it annoying when they are in a hurry to get somewhere. I haven't been through Mistlands yet though, so can't comment about that.

I really don't get how fog is a danger during sailing and in solo. It's not like there is an iceberg that will Titanic your longboat instantly, you can just land somewhere quickly and portal home to sleep in a solo game.

If you are saying that it's annoying because of the abysmal discover radius of the map and you need to use your eyes to see new lands worthwhile, then I agree.

Either way you can always just lure over some seekers or a gjall and break the dverger so it's fine

would recommend taking out as much of the defenses you can from outside first

hollow crag
half dragon
#

Not sure how effective a bow is, but try taking out ballistas and try to snipe any enemies on top of walls, or even better, those summoner/necromancers if possible

#

for me sniping with staff of embers got quite a lot done

Try not to sprint in combat at all unless you are trying to outrun a mob

just realized I probably should have been making etir potions for a while now

or dodge projectiles

idle storm
# hollow crag Any tips on how i should take a fortress down?

bring mats for a workbench, a hoe and a stack or two of stone.
build terrain pillars to fire down on enemies and spawners inside the fortress (don't need a stonecutter to build and unlike wood don't burn/get destroyed)
Once you've taken out the spawners and at least most of the enemies hop over the wall, mop up the stragglers and dig under the central tower to get your loot.
Then slap a portal down inside and enjoy your new indestructible outpost.

# hollow crag Any tips on how i should take a fortress down?

Another tip (basically how I clear them) is to make a battering ram -> ram the gates -> pop bonemass and fire res pot -> charge in and destroy the spawners -> run out and take distance -> kill all the mobs that spawned before the buffs run out

hollow crag

You can destroy them from a distance if you can get a shot in, they are tucked in the corners so it might be challenging but should be possible

Good, I'll try slinging staff of embers at it or a trolstaff if I can get it

Do you think if i can use the arrows to shoot the turrents down in the distance?

#

Ok i tested it works

#

Omg i got greedy, had a 1star askvin inside a dug trap, and was trying to fit another one in, but the trap is not big enough and it lead to them escaping and me dying

outer spindle
#

As long as one of them is not dead, you can recover from it. (Unless it's the first time you died in Ashlands and haven't cleared a path)

hollow crag
#

I can recover but skill levels..

#

oh wait

#

my efforts might not be in vain, both of them is somewhat trap in there now

#

oh nvm

#

one of them push the other out, and the no star one escaped

Oh found mystlands and set a escape portal. Killed three power seekers. But now a guanyanh is sieging my mini base

Argh

hollow crag

honestly ashlands isnt as hard as mistland if you can get to there and land

#

Ashlands is all about just being skillful around your enemies, and spawn proofing

Problem ... i have to sail away and try a better landing. I found a rocky beach

hollow crag
# wind prism your taming askvin without mistlands gear

Not exactly, i just dont make the mistland armours, cuz it takes resources. I made the krom(doesnt use refine etir) made the spinesnip (was considering fine wood, but was like ok it probably worth it), and have the crossbow which doesnt need refine etir

#

And i didnt make padded armour cuz was like im going to get ashland armours soon so why bother

#

I can use wolf armour still no need for expensive upgrades and i dont want to farm iron from swamp

#

BUt tbf tho i think i can do ashland with full mountains tier gear

wind prism
#

how did u make the krom

hollow crag
wind prism
#

without tear

wind prism
hollow crag
#

You dont need moder's tear to make krom

wind prism
#

u dont have blackmetal tho cause u dont have artisans table

hollow crag
#

Just go in mistland infested mine without wisp light

wind prism
#

and u cant smelt shit

hollow crag
#

Doesnt involve black metal at all

#

Although you have to get some of mistland wood, and black marble

#

Which for black marble just get them from dvervgers outpost deconstruct them after you break their wards

rain flare
#

Wood is the hard part

hollow crag
#

And mistland wood its possible to obtain with seeker's soilders

hollow crag
#

But i got a rare spawn of seeker soilder on one of the small islands of mistland, and i also had a really rare dverager mistland outpost in the middle of the ocean by itself guarded by only two of them

#

So i kinda got lucky with that, but i eventurally kill moder with krom, and yagluth before i go to ashlands

#

But realisically i wouldnt consider skipping biomes to mistland unless you have really good rng or find an accessable infested mine

#

I would probably farm the heck out of mountains with maxed wolf armour, and maxed silver sword + shield, druager fang, and tons of frost arrows, and then skips to ashlands

#

I think maxed silver sword preformance will be similar to krom

#

OR crystals battle axe

these forts in ashland are such massive boost to exploration. There's a crap ton of enemies so setting up an outpost would be a massive time sink. Thanks to them it's enough to just take materials for a shield and portals with you... and 2 iron for a stonecutter if you want to setup a stone portal

#

OH! I didn't realize, but apparently you do not need both portals to be stone for them to work

I really feel like fader's forsaken power should be passive or have a longer duration than 5 minutes, the way it is rn is just terrible imo

So unlike any of the other Forsaken powers? Would seem strange at this point to change how they work.

Moder, Elder and Fader

Or the other ones could be a smaller cooldown

Why?

-Moder sailing only Works for fast travels
-Elder buff could be a passive If nerfed a bit (isnt that useful tho)

  • Why you wanna carry +300 for only 5 minutes? Building? Nah. Collecting resources? Nah.

I think they’re fine for their purpose. Only power id want to see reworked (or maybe we just need more lightning enemies) is yag

Ngl i used eikhtyr many times for explore and get items back, Elder in the great Wood grinds before getting a good axe. But when you reach Bonemass you dont have any purpose to trade It for another

#

Moder doesnt affect the entirely Wind, only sailing

#

Yagluth got like 10 Enemies doing elemental Damage in game, mostly are easy to Dodge or the Damage can be just ignored

#

The Queen is actually a good Forsaken Power, 60% to mine is useful in flametal and 100% etr regen is insane for mages

#

i will start a playtrough in Very Hard, so i will need explore more what Forsakens Powers i will need to use

I think this update has definitely bought opportunity for a few reworks. With the askvin cape having bonus speed in wind maybe the moder ability should give you tailwind constantly?

#

doesnt matter if you're in a group or solo, you get hit in very hard on a boss, you're going to likely die

#

on-level at least

hollow crag
#

The way I judge if something is hard is how much effort / time / resources I have to invest to achieve it

full apex
#

i first played on normal, and bonemass was the first hard boss. and it was stupid hard. so you are full of crap lol. and i had maxed out equipment for that stage

hot fern

with more people, you can get more attacks in on a boss as well since the boss typically attacks one player

full apex

elder and the deer boss are stupid easy

200% enemy Damage

merry sun

Deer will always be easiest boss

i had full bronze and bronze mace maxed out and it was impossible. and poison potions. so you are full of shit

That’s not max armor for bonemass tho it’s iron tier

Lvl 4 Iron armor + Lvl 4 Iron Mace + Poison Mead = Easier than Elite Draugr 2*

pliant hatch
#

Eikthyr, Elder and Bonemass are tutorial bosses.

The ones after that are just the same kind of bosses, but a lot harder.

#

Which most likely means that the DN boss not only will be the hardest boss, but also having lots of summons to annoy players.

hollow crag

#

I loved Fader Boss battle, cant expect less to the final boss

pliant hatch
#

Queen is the first boss of the last trio.

tiny tiger
#

I imagine the final boss is the lost child we keep hearing about in the lore

#

Maybe it turns into a frost giant, or summons them

hollow crag
#

The other bosses all have some way or another that you can make it very easy for yourself but Queen you actually need to be fully prepared

tiny tiger
#

With queen you can leave the boss chamber tho right to recuperate

#

there’s a safe spot at entrance?

hollow crag
#

With every other bosses I face so far I can kill them off in distance with bow and arrows, but Queen seems to be needed to take matters into close quarters

I like using dodge rolls

you use dodge rolls as mage...

And parrying feels satisfying

half dragon
#

you can parry anything as mage...

hot fern
#

it's just not their thing, nothing wrong with that?

tiny tiger
#

How does shield and stagger work with mage

hot fern
#

mages are more buttery and casting that shield takes a lot of time, it's not necessarily infinite

tiny tiger
#

A good strat I saw on YT was jump away while casting

hollow crag
#

Also my biggest with mage, is that I have to re level my skills, make specific food for it and make an entire set of armour for it along with potions

half dragon
#

just wish that parrying with shield wasn't punished so harashly, I think the shield takes full damage to it when you parry? that's my only complaint about parrying and shield

the shield still has a base block armor so as long as that can do the job it'll work fine
