valheim-chat

[tiny tiger]

Because I just found a completely epic burial chamber with multiple floors

Makes me wish they were all like that

[shy marlin]

I imagine it suffers even more from the insane movement speed penalty and the slow attack speed on it in the ashlands lol, good luck though, would love to hear how it does 👍

[idle moon]

If you already know what the mats are for something, then it's not really an issue, but if you've forgotten the mats and need to find it in the list or it's some new item or you're just newer to the game it can be difficult - I know it was a pain point for my friends and I as we went through our Ashlands playthrough, finding all the new Ashlands stuff to craft

[woeful yacht]

oh, 100%. That's why I haven't done it yet. I'm not that much of a masochist 😆

[woeful yacht]

Generally, this is probably true. I found 2 last night, one was a complete waste of time (small, no cores), the other was quite large

[azure yacht]

Crystal battle axe has higher knockback and stagger than silver sword and mistwalker

[shy marlin]

Doesn't really matter when it hits so slow and has the massive movement penalty

[azure yacht]

Frostner has more knockback but reduced reach.

The only thing that harms CB is the move penalty, which should certainly be reduced

[shy marlin]

Nah attack speed gotta be up there, imagine fighting the hoards with it, it'd be super rough

[tiny tiger]

I think the move speed penalty is fair for heavier weapons and they should be balanced around that

[woeful yacht]

I'm digging the storm mace

Usually alternate between that and one of the staves

[shy marlin]

It's crazy that atgeir is 5% and crystal battle axe isn't

[woeful yacht]

I almost always main spears, so ashlands makes me sad

[tiny tiger]

Atgeirs are very stamina heavy

[shy marlin]

they really aren't

[woeful yacht]

Atgeirs don't let you carry a buckler

[nocturne wolf]

Atgeir secondary is very good for staggering so you don't need to parry with one

[woeful yacht]

There's that

[burnt glen]

Does Ashlands not have a spear either?

[shy marlin]

it does

[hard void]

Anyone wanna play Valheim? I have a character up to the mountains already.

[nocturne wolf]

People in #1024264966712340510 might want to

[hard void]

Thank you, new to the server. Much appreciated.

[idle moon]

something something pierce resistance, something something spears

[fossil salmon]

for the love of Odin, let us pick up chickens in the next patch

[azure yacht]

Movement penalty is much worse than the slow attack, and it's literally only the first one, second and third aren't really slow

And still, it's a matter of timing and positioning, just like any other melee weapon.

[teal tiger]

Finally made it back to Mistlands. Definitely going with Himminafl instead of Mistwalker this time. Atgeir's secondary is just so OP.

My first few playthroughs were all sword & board. This time it's mostly been Atgeir, except for Frostner, which honestly felt bad to switch to. Atgeirs are just insane on groups and 1v1. The stagger & minimal movement penalty is bonkers.

[nocturne wolf]

Mistwalker is very good in ashlands so you might still want to make one

[teal tiger]

I can see the trade-off with pierce from Himminafl being bad and Frost from Mistwalker being good there, but I keep hearing Ashlands is flooded with spawners & swords just can't manage crowds the same.

[shy marlin]

Himmin still dominates in the ashlands, it's a good choice

[teal tiger]

I'm anticipating it being like going to the Plains for the first time and being quickly overwhelmed by a big village lol. Definitely want an Atgeir for that kind of experience. My partner is doing Knives & can pick off the tougher guys while I deal with the crowds.

[azure zephyr]

So if I wanted to have some casual people to play with on a server I'm hosting, how would I go about that? <<

I don't really want to join a random public server, because I may not play that much.

[teal tiger]

#1024264966712340510

[azure zephyr]

I'll check it out after lunch. (Thanks.)

[teal tiger]

Did they change crafting costs with the Ashlands update? I'm not sure if I'm just crazy but I don't recall Sap Extractors costing Black Metal.

Nvm, I guess my memory is just really bad lol.

[half dragon]

probably, I was playing mistlands during ashland early access and had to spend black metal before the update

[azure yacht]

Always black metal

[exotic pumice]

I didn't see it in the patch notes but did they update the sounds? The sound of landing on a wooden building piece is a very hearty thud now, whereas before I remember it being much more of a light tap. Reminds me of Legend of Zelda, I like it

[vivid epoch]

I have a question

The valheim boss has 15000 hp or 25000 hp? Because me and my friend killed it so fast, so I think it has only 15000 hp, but the wiki says that it has 25000 hp, can someone explain it to me?

[frigid gust]

Which boss? The Ashlands boss? The Queen?

[vivid epoch]

the ashlands boss my bad

[idle moon]

I feel like ashlands boss might could use a buff, my friends and I also killed it fairly quickly and easily

[frigid gust]

The Queen has 12500, so I think it's likely it has 25000 like the wiki says. We do a lot more DPS with Ashlands weapons, so it might feel a bit faster because of that.

[strange arrow]

it's probably the mp scaling that could use the buff

every boss is significantly easier mp vs solo

[lone sapphire]

Curious what numbers others are seeing but after clearing 10 fortresses (out of the 20 that spawn on every map) I have obtained 7 blood stones, 9 iolite, and 13 jade.

Frankly it feels low. The sample size is really small here but the reality is that everyone will be working with the same low number of chances.

[nocturne wolf]

He definitely doesnt need a buff, singleplayer melee is quite slow because he spams attacks that make the player move

[half dragon]

queen at 12.5k took quite a while tho

[vivid epoch]

but the queen is resistant to almost everything

[half dragon]

I was using magic...

no resistance there

[vivid epoch]

did you max your weapons?

[half dragon]

duh

[vivid epoch]

but bro, is a BOSS it has to be as hard as possible, ngl

[nocturne wolf]

I think making a fight longer is the worst way to make it harder

[half dragon]

just doesn't sound right that a boss with double the health would die relatively quickly while the previous one with less hp takes longer

although the buff to weapons is a bit more significant than usual due to the stones, it shouldn't be that massive of a difference

[vivid epoch]

the thing with the queen is that the arena in which you are fighting is "different" is not the queen, it´s the arena that makes longer the battle

[idle storm]

also adds. Fader takes care of his own adds.

You lose a lot of time (& dps) handling them in the queen fight though.

[plush umbra]

its more like queen needs a nerf

[idle storm]

no she doesn't, the fight is perfectly manageable. Why would she need a nerf?

[plush umbra]

queen isnt even that hard, just takes a million years

[idle storm]

took me about 15 minutes with magic, solo

[plush umbra]

hm ok

[shy marlin]

bring ooze/bile bombs for the broods and a proactive control weapon like embers/himmin for seekers and queen fight is very manageable

[celest crow]

which lightsource is best to bring when exploring ashlands?

bringing lightwisp does virtually nothing

[half dragon]

during the day no light source is needed

[celest crow]

daytime is fine, what im asking is for night time.

[half dragon]

lantern is probably the only other option unless you want to burn through torches...

still can't use them during combat tho

[celest crow]

ill stick to wisp then, you know how the spawn rate in ashlands go.. its wild

[half dragon]

yup... I wouldn't want to risk not having a weapon out at all times

[nocturne wolf]

You can if you don't block

[half dragon]

or don't use 2 handed weapons...

just all around not a great option

[idle storm]

The main thing during the Queen fight is doing good dps. She regens about 200hp per minute so the more time you spend running, hiding or killing adds the more of a slog it becomes.

[celest crow]

i've been hunting morgen all night,, its effing hard

[meager terrace]

as a beginner, is a wood shield better than a wood tower shield?

[plush umbra]

its better because you can parry

[half dragon]

somewhat easy to hunt morgen with magic, fairly easy to stay out of attack range and keep attacking

[meager terrace]

ok

[plush umbra]

learning how to parry early on is going to help you a lot

[half dragon]

parrying has higher block value and stuns the enemy

[plush umbra]

and bosses cant be parried

[half dragon]

you can parry them, they just won't get staggered/stunned

[idle storm]

stagger also lets you do double damage

[gilded frigate]

What exactly is the merit behind that you can login to any world with a transferrable character?
I started recently and spent a few hundred hours already just grueling through resource search and gathering just to figure out that instead of sticking by one world, one can login to another world and not care how ugly that world can get from deforesting and bring across metal ingots and ores

[half dragon]

but without that stagger, no real reason to parry... (against bosses)

[idle storm]

still increases your block value

[half dragon]

dodge and you take 0 damage

[nocturne wolf]

Tower shields are great for keeping stamina, and normal shields can parry
Both are good, use what you'd rather have

[gilded frigate]

Like why spend hours grinding to replenish your stash of iron when you can transfer materials found in another more plentiful world?

[idle storm]

dodge cost is affected by movement speed though so if you're wearing heavy armor + shield it's more expensive than blocking.

[plush umbra]

you can do that, might be frowned upon on servers though

in that sense its the same system in terraria

[nocturne wolf]

If you're wearing heavy armor and using a tower shield you can't parry anyway

[idle storm]

does it really matter which world you grind the resources in? The no build cost modifier exists after all.

[gilded frigate]

I'm just not sure why that's in place
I think there should be a constraint that can be set on a world/server that progress can't be transferred in

[half dragon]

perfectly fine for solo, but if you plan to bring metal to your world, might as well enable bringing metal through portals, unless you set boundaries and rules for yourself to not skip the travel time of bringing metal back and forth

[plush umbra]

I asked this in the general channel, but my friends and I are thinking of a hardcore slow run with no portals or maps, and immersive mode and 0.5 resources and max combat slider. Has anybody done this? Specifically I want to know if anybody had issues with resources.

[plush umbra]

good idea for a new world modifier

As in, was there ever a lack of resources so that the group could no longer build aesthetically, farm sustainably, or had issues with wood or metal etc? I have a builder friend that is worried he can't spam sconces or something.

[half dragon]

on my 2nd save I decided that if I bring metal from another world, I have to move my character to the world spawn point and not build a base with a forge too close to it

That way still had to do the voyage back to base, although not as long one

was still 10-15 minutes of sailing tho

[plush umbra]

thats what I did with my first large building, just straight to another world and back in my base with full stone inventory

[azure yacht]

Explicitly discarded by devs

[gilded frigate]

I kind of enjoy it most when a game feels like there are strong rules with no exploits
and resource transfer between worlds doesn't seem very fair at all
nor can I think of a situation it should, even with character stats

[azure yacht]

Or more like smiffe

[half dragon]

but with stone and wood don't give a shit, just world swap all the way. can just portal them to me anyway. But now that I have access to stone portals I can move metal everywhere.

[azure yacht]

Most resources in the game are just extremely plentiful, but finite.

Locking characters to worlds would disallow from transferring resources from other worlds when the ones in a previous world are exhausted

[half dragon]

with non metal resources doesn't really matter much if you bring it from another world, it's all plentiful in your own world anyway... but many do not like runing the look of the world they build in

[gilded frigate]

I did have a concern about that, but all that means is making individual worlds self sustainable
by every resource having some factor letting it be renewable

like iron not being finite due to drop chance from a Swamp mob

[elfin delta]

Hey, I recently bought a Valheim.

[plush umbra]

hi

CumHack

[fair cairn]

hi

[gilded frigate]

I'm in that same area, but I feel that deforesting and replanting should be part of the price

[half dragon]

you're not getting a lot of the stuff back you remove...

it starts looking very unauthentic when it's just tree monoculture left.

[gilded frigate]

Do you mean the bushes and natural branch spawns?

and boulders not being replaceable

[half dragon]

branches do respawn, so do stones (the small ones that do not require mining) and flint, but don't think anything else does

[smoky quarry]

[gilded frigate]

Also unless those resources are being lost, nothing is really consumed no?
other than crafting tools that might be discarded I guess

[smoky quarry]

only thing you can loose is extra honey when the bees are Not happy

[elfin delta]

This is my warehouse, what do you think is normal for a beginner? #valheim-public-test message.

[plush umbra]

and sap when destroying a full extractor

[half dragon]

no... if bees are not happy you lose everything you hold dear. The bees remember. Bees do not forgive.

[burnt glen]

Thanks, that’s interesting. I believe the proc is an additional 75 lightning damage but with the frost, Mistwalker might even be better.

[azure helm]

Hey so I got a question
Am I allowed to be annoyed with my idiot friends when they play an idiot frontline while I am also an idiot backline?

[shy marlin]

Sure

[azure zephyr]

I have been all over the starting island and not found a single beehive...

[fossil delta]

Check every house. You can also find them in one of the keep types in the black forest, but those are very rare.

[azure zephyr]

Checked every one I've found so far.

I need honey to do Bonemass because I'm bad and need poison potions, but can't find the bees to do it. My old world had dozens of hives. ;-;

[near saddle]

you're eating honey at the swamp stage? or do you mean using it as an ingredient

[fossil delta]

You could always use the map checker program to see if your missing any hives.

[azure zephyr]

You need honey for meads.

[merry pebble]

well as they are mentioning poison meads....

[near saddle]

somehow I read it as poison arrows

[merry pebble]

oh XD

[near saddle]

needing poison resist mead isn't you being bad, the fight is balanced with the expectation that you have it

[fossil delta]

I think the fewest hives I have ever found in my home meadows was 3. I usually find around 6. So having zero would be extremely rare. I would use the map checker to see what the case for your world is.

[azure zephyr]

Had to use the map. They're clustered around spawn, and almost nowhere on the west side of the island.

[fossil delta]

I'm over 300 days into my newest play through, and I just found yet another hive last night. 😄 Even when I think I am being thorough, I'm not.

[azure zephyr]

Well, I managed to track down two hives. 1.5x resources, so three bees. That'll be enough to start for now. Once Eikthyr is off cooldown, I can get 2-3 more hives on the west side.

[fossil delta]

6 hives is plenty for solo games.

[merry pebble]

i found like 7 before going for elder this playthrough, i am set for the whole game basically 🙂

[azure zephyr]

I may not be solo forever, I'm considering getting 1-2 more people in here.

[fossil delta]

I am up to 13 or 14, over all. 8 of them were on my home island.

[azure zephyr]

Since I made a small base beforehand in creative with the tech of my old world, then ported it into a server.

[fossil delta]

Right now its just my wife and I. I might do some server play down the road.

[royal nexus]

may i ask why this patch getting easy to get burn on campfires like the range is too far even im not step on it already cathes on fires xD ( sorry for my bad english) 😄

[azure zephyr]

I'd intended that to be the case with my boyfriend, but he's being jealous and petty because he'd rather grind levels for Dawntrail than actually play Valheim with me. <_<

His words, not mine. Apparently, being online for milestone progression and nothing else leaves him feeling envious. So I just said 'screw it' and built a base that he can use when he likes, and I'll keep playing on my own, solo.

[fossil delta]

I got into the habit of putting up a framework long ago, just to avoid being burned or suffocated. So due to that habit, I have not noticed it being more dangerous.

[azure zephyr]

Amusing thought. Isn't the Sausages food item cannibalism?

[fossil delta]

The prevailing theory is that they get them from the deer and boar...

[steel copper]

draugr are undead so...YEP

[royal nexus]

well im used to old patch since last play it and cameback again cause got friend but i notice the range to catch fire is not right xD

[tiny tiger]

I can’t lie it took me longer than I’d look to admit to figure out that the reason my furnaces were so slow was because the roof above them was too low so the smoke would congest and then they would turn off for a few seconds

[azure zephyr]

First time I've made them and I just realized where you get them.

[azure helm]

For context to before:

One of the lads keeps running into the fray, getting surrounded, parries everything, and somehow lives

The other runs into the ashlands with Onions and Volture meat (when 20 BM meat is just ready to be cooked), only a Slayer and LRipper, then gets upset when he dies

I am a wizard who like fireball, but also tends to get too melee-y when approached, usually losing half health for it

[tiny tiger]

You should get onion boy to be in charge of carrying everything and shooting arrows at the guys that get staggered by parry god

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I do not buy the deer/boar theory. In part because I have found swamps that do not border a meadows or BF. Yet they still have intestines...

[azure helm]

But that’s the thing, better food is available, he’s just too slow ig to make any or smthng

[tiny tiger]

Is it cannibalism if they’re undead though

[fossil delta]

Thats for you to decide.

[azure zephyr]

Draugur are, as per the mythos, undead vikings.

Meaning they were human, once. I don't know if Valheim Draugur are different or not, they might be some sub-species of the "ancient ones" or however the stones refer to them, meaning they aren't technically human.

[tiny tiger]

well yeah but cannibalism is feeding on the dead

[fossil delta]

I just prefer not to think about it.

[tiny tiger]

Is it cannibalism if they’re undead

[azure zephyr]

No, cannibalism is eating your own kind.

[tiny tiger]

They aren’t our kind tho

[azure zephyr]

If they're undead humans, they are.

[azure yacht]

If

[tiny tiger]

I guess it depends on where you draw the line but alive/dead humans and reanimated corpses I would say there’s a distinction

It’s like the walking dead thing are they really human anymore

not that I’d eat undead meat in real life anyway

[river forge]

Is there a way to just reset an ashlands biome for a server?

[fossil delta]

I just prefer not to think about it. I'll even pretend that people are right about them gathering it from boar/deer, even if they do not border a biome with them.

[tiny tiger]

there’s commands to clear biome generation but I don’t know them

[river forge]

Some absolute smurf used godmode, flew to every ashlands fortress and raided the chests

[azure zephyr]

I thought cheats weren't enabled on multiplayer servers?

[tiny tiger]

They’d have to run it in single player

there’s some commands that work on multiplayer still but I don’t think it’s ones that affect the world

[azure zephyr]

Which begs the question how someone managed to cheat and fly in a multiplayer server. >>

[fossil delta]

Some can be enabled. I haven't ran a server in over 15 months. So I don't recall which ones.

[river forge]

We don't have anticheat

[fossil delta]

Flying is one of them. Not sure about god mode.

[river forge]

Either that, or the blood gems are not in any of the 30 chests I checked when I flew about as admin

[tiny tiger]

.

Were there any other gems ?

[river forge]

gaps in the chest stacks where I guess the gems were, no flametal int hem either

[azure zephyr]

Given my luck with bees?

[fossil delta]

Only admins could even use a cheat. At least with the service I used.

[river forge]

cheat engine

[fossil delta]

Not familiar with that.

[river forge]

A real time memory editor

[fossil delta]

I would think that would be treated like a virus.

[tiny tiger]

Seems pointless the blood gems don’t really seem all that good anyway

lightning is where it’s at

[azure zephyr]

Now I just need to wait for honey to be made and mead to ferment.

And I can take another crack at Bonemass and start grinding silver.

[tiny tiger]

Sounds like a plan

What’s your loadout against bonemass

[fossil delta]

I still need to grind iron. Mostly so I don't have to do it later in the game. Even though it would be easier in that gear.

[azure zephyr]

Sword. My boat loaded with my next shipment of iron is inconveniently parked near the boss arena.

I did not plan this out.

[fossil delta]

Why not move it further away?

[azure zephyr]

Because it's the swamps. By the time I get there and maneuver it out to sea to make a getaway, Bonemass is gonna bop it, twist it, and smack it, and I'll need a new boat.

I parked close to the shore, and it's a Longship, so getting it out is an issue.

[fossil delta]

He is already spawned?

[azure zephyr]

Yep. Like I said, I pre-established this base with the same general tech I had before I abandoned my old world. So I have a portal there.

That's how I got out when I realized I wasn't going to kill him without some extra prepwork.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, his being there already does complicate things a bit.

[azure zephyr]

It's fine, I get to chill and enjoy the scenery of my hard work for a bit.

Might take the time waiting on honey and mead to do some forestry and stock my wood piles.

[fossil delta]

My wife is ex Army, so she likes to use combat engineering to make boss fights as easy as possible.

Since I hate dying, I do it as well.

[azure zephyr]

I spent enough time building my compound.

I don't want to burn more making sniper towers and log traps. <_<

[fossil delta]

Its a lot less time than earning skill points back.

[mossy river]

I realized Bonemass is the lone holdout for getting me to use poison mead

[azure zephyr]

I'm also going to make some medium healing just for good measure.

And a frost resist, to get me through my first bit of mountain exploration.

Alright. Level 3 iron sword, level 3 iron armor and troll cape. 3 poison resistance meads.

Cooked deer meat, berry jam, and sausages for food.

This isn't even hard, this is just tedious...

WOW.

He defaulted to the PORTAL and immediately hit me as I came out.

Well, I'll just have to rebuild it later. Killed him.

Not being able to re-apply potions kind of sucks.

It's actually what killed me the first time, I got poisoned before I could re-apply and was hit with a full poison timer.

[vapid hearth]

Root Harnesk acquired
Now I am ready for the Plains
Now I just need to defeat Moderfucker so I can truly be ready for the Plains.
Maybe try to find Haldor at some point before taking on Yagluth, especially since I've already found Hildr.

[cinder echo]

do hens have to have a roof over their heads to eat?

ive had mushrooms and carrots down for them but they havent touched them. i dont have a full roof over them either

just a small area with a roof and a fire that a laid the eggs

[foggy glacier]

they won't eat either of those.

[vapid hearth]

In my experience, no
Tragically, that's how I lost a group of chickens

[vapid hearth]

They eat seeds and grains (like wheat or flax)

[foggy glacier]

and dandelions.

[cinder echo]

ahh google said vegetables.

[foggy glacier]

vegetable seeds would be more precise. I usually feed them carrot seeds, turnip seeds or onion seeds.

[cinder echo]

ahhhhh

and so will they find their way to the fire with a roof over it to lay their eggs?

[foggy glacier]

lol no. They'll lay wherever they want. You'll have to keep them close to the fire if you want new chickens.

valheim chickens are more stupid than real ones.

[cinder echo]

i just heard them make love noises xD

i thought chickens dont have seggs

they lay eggs

[foggy glacier]

like IRL, chickens need to be in proximity to one another in order to lay eggs.

[plush umbra]

Hows everyone doin

[river forge]

welcome to valheim, it gets worse and worse

half the difficulty of difficult is a fliflop between tedium, outright dumb and getting one shot with the best armor on and 200 hp

[azure zephyr]

Deathsquito?

[river forge]

evil bugs

[azure zephyr]

So deathsquitos, then.

[river forge]

They are the worst of it

[merry pebble]

not necessearly 😉

[river forge]

But ashlands gets worse

[azure zephyr]

Yea, I'm not really keen on their existence. It feels like a middle finger of difficulty. It's bad enough we can't lock on to enemies so we can backpedal and parry.

[river forge]

some of the mobs can outrun you, even at full sprint with eikthyr

Brutal and unforgiving i don;t mind, I liked dark souls

But the run back to a corpse to claim your things

[azure zephyr]

Siiigh. Now I have to grind up a bunch of silver to take on Moder.

[river forge]

That's always tedious

[azure zephyr]

I don't want to do this solo.

[foggy glacier]

she's not that tough.

[azure zephyr]

It's the effort involved in tracking down silver.

And transporting it by myself.

[river forge]

What I get annoyed most by is that you cannot block most things

[grave wagon]

I think it's one of the easier metals to get.

[foggy glacier]

put up a bunch of 5x high earth columns that you can duck behind. She's awful at navigating terrain when she's landed.

[tiny tiger]

I found the worst one is always bronze

[grave wagon]

Agreed. Most tedious and it's a pain to pop because it's in the ground so much.

[tiny tiger]

Iron is easy when you have a crypt filled swamp and silver may take a while to transport but you can transport huge quantities

[azure zephyr]

Still, I may open up an invitation once I finish some schoolwork. I really don't want to do this solo.

[river forge]

Flametal is the worst

Column sinks into the lava, hostile enemies everywhere

Then a big goddamned screaming fallen valkyrie decides it hates you

[tiny tiger]

Does it return after a while?

[river forge]

Dunno

[merry pebble]

i dont believe it does

[woeful yacht]

They do not

Sometimes if you die early enough in the process it doesn't go away though

Not sure if you could crack a few columns and portal out to reset the timer

Seems worth an experiment

[merry pebble]

or just relog if you really want to cheez it by reloading the location🙂

[oak walrus]

i might be wrong but i think they do, now that i think about it, they definetly do come back after a while (dont know how long tho)

[tiny tiger]

I’ve checked wiki and it doesn’t mention anything but I checked leviathans too and they don’t come back

[oak walrus]

hmm, i mined one collumn and it sunk but after some time it was back where it was.

[verbal kraken]

Why

Why do I press a button and my character sits there with their finger up their ass doing literally nothing

[tiny tiger]

X is to sit

[odd helm]

You have found the sit button

[verbal kraken]

I do not, nor have I ever had this problem with a single other game I own

[tiny tiger]

It’s useful for when you have a campfire and are out in the wilderness to get a quick resting bonus

[odd helm]

Sitting next to a campfire in the open will allow you to rest

[tiny tiger]

I use it extensively in the beginning to level up my skills fast

[oak walrus]

how does it help with leveling up skills?

[odd helm]

It's also useful to lower your camera to build stuff from below

[merry pebble]

when you are rested you are leveling faster

[tiny tiger]

Campfire in the middle of nowhere + sit = 8 minute rested bonus for bonus experience

[oak walrus]

oh, makes sense.

[steep girder]

Also, running or doing anything really without rested is super boring... The stamina regen without it is so slow

[tiny tiger]

if you mark them on your map you have little areas spread throughout if you are ever caught out without a rested bonus you can just quickly run to one

[steep girder]

Now add being wet = snoozefest

[tiny tiger]

I think it’s an important mechanic as it teaches you to be prepared

If you aren’t rested then what are you really doing other than trying to get rested

[steep girder]

Yep, rested combined with night spawns kinda gives a rhythm for hunts etc... You have x-amount of time per hunt before you "have" to retreat back to safety or seek shelter

[tiny tiger]

if only you could get rested easily while serpent hunting

[azure zephyr]

You don't have to sleep to get Rested.

[verbal kraken]

Not only do I have to fucking spam a button do get my character to do something, but when my character starts doing something, they are honorbound to finish doing it at the cost of their own life

[tiny tiger]

Oh yeah it’s just by the time you find a serpent you are likely to be in the middle of the ocean

[steep girder]

Drakkar should have a small cabin or something that let's you get rested lol

[verbal kraken]

I press the button to attach and my character, like, raises their weapon to attack

not, swings, not, hits, prepares to attack

[tiny tiger]

Hold on are you pressing right click, the block button?

[merry pebble]

are you sure you are playing valheim my friend?

[verbal kraken]

and then I press a completely different button to dodge or block and my character doesn't fucking do anything because they won't stop hitting

[tiny tiger]

You should double check your keybinds, do you share the computer with someone else who could have rearranged things?

[verbal kraken]

No, I already said I do not, have never, and likely will never again have, have had, or will have any even remotely similar problems to this one

[tiny tiger]

I have no idea, are you able to share a video showing the issue?

[verbal kraken]

The problem is exclusively that my character doesn't fucking do anything when I press a button because they won't stop doing the first thing

Even though they're like less than a quarter of the way through doing the first thing

[steep girder]

I think what he means is, you cannot stop an attack halfway through to block etc but instead the character insists on finishing up the swing regardless of it being detrimental to their vitality

[tiny tiger]

Oh

[verbal kraken]

not only that, but the attack actively slows you

[tiny tiger]

Yeah you just gotta practise the combat my dude, it’ll click eventually

[verbal kraken]

so if you're attacking, you can't block, you can't dodge, you can't even walk to the side

you're just dead

[tiny tiger]

If you attack at the wrong time you are going to get punished

[grave wagon]

All of this is very normal for games...

[verbal kraken]

No, no it is not

Not in the absolute slightest
Do other games take like 5 seconds straight to attack once?

[grave wagon]

You're upset that you decided to attack or chop wood and then can't cancel that command?

[merry pebble]

well... thats just the game mechanic... you have to play with that and its frankly nowhere bad enough to complain about it 😅 (at least i dont remember anyone ever complaining about it here)

[merry pebble]

which weapon are you using?

[steep girder]

Sure

[grave wagon]

That doesn't happen in Valheim so your description is incorrect, there's an issue on your end, or you'll need to provide a video of what you're referring to because nobody can help with how you're describing it.

[verbal kraken]

I don't see what's so hard to understand
I click and the game basically fucking locks every other input because my character won't stop doing the first thing

[tiny tiger]

The stagbreaker is one of the slowest weapons with a attack speed of 2+ seconds from click to slam

[merry pebble]

i mean, the slowest weapons are sledges i believe, and i dont think even that is really that slow

[grave wagon]

You said 5 seconds, which is absurdly long. If you're upset that some animations take 1 second after you clicked the button then maybe this game isn't for you.

[verbal kraken]

...

[merry pebble]

would you mind sharing video of it in #memes-and-clips ?

[verbal kraken]

Have you ever heard of a thing called language?

I don't think any game which isn't intentionally terrible has ever had a 'fast' weapon which takes 5 seconds straight to attack

[grave wagon]

It's appropriate for the weapon. Imagine being able to slam everything instantly with those sledges?! 🤣

[tiny tiger]

What weapon are you using @verbal kraken

[grave wagon]

Yeah, I'm trying to use it to help you out but you're being incredibly vague.

[merry pebble]

oh yes, i am just saying that even those dont take that long to swing and they are one of if not the slowest weapons in the game

[tiny tiger]

You can’t really animation cancel once you decide to do an input you are locked into it, you need to time your attacks and dodges

[grave wagon]

100%, completely agree.

[verbal kraken]

Spear

Axe, if I press the throw button and then turn around and then my character throws the spear backwards, like usual

[grave wagon]

If an attack is really taking a 5 seconds then there's something wrong. If you're exaggerating the time per action then okay, that's fine, but there's nothing anyone can do to help you. You cannot cancel animations in this game so choose your inputs wisely.

[merry pebble]

spear is one of the quickest weapons... it really doesent take 5 second to finish attack animation...

[verbal kraken]

See, there's a little thing called exaggeration, when someone blows something comically out of proportion for emphasis

[merry pebble]

that seems to be case here yes, and?

[grave wagon]

Yeah, it's always good to use exaggeration when describing an issue one has with a video game, that clears things right up.

[verbal kraken]

"I've had to restart the game like 17 times to get it to work" or "That car's been in like 17 accidents"
Or, even, "It takes like five fucking seconds to attack"

[grave wagon]

Well then, this game just isn't for you and you don't really play a lot of different games if you think a lack of animation canceling is a problem.

[verbal kraken]

It wouldn't even be a problem if not for the fact that enemies love to encircle me like fucking movie villains knocking me to the ground and repeatedly kicking me

Meaning I get attacked like 9 times every second

[thin sonnet]

there are some weapons with less windup or recovery like the daggers or spears

[tiny tiger]

Did you get raided?

[verbal kraken]

No, raids are off

[verbal kraken]

Also, I have 107 games installed on steam

[grave wagon]

Sounds like another exaggeration.

[merry pebble]

you have to be reasonable even with exaggerations, if you would say abut sledge "It takes like five fucking seconds to attack" we would understand, but if you are saying it about the second if not the fastest weapon in the game it really didnt make much sense to anyone...

[hot flint]

Ah, forgot how well balanced bonemass is. Its just such a great balanced boss /j

Do you have any strategies to cheese bonemass before i turn cheats on?

[verbal kraken]

I'm physically unable to send an image in any relevant channel, so I can't send one

[thin sonnet]

bonemass can be dealt with using an iron mace, using an iron buckler and poison resistance potions

[tiny tiger]

Iron mace, poison resist, some health potions

125+ health

[hot flint]

It just takes 2 swings to kill you

[azure zephyr]

Just make a poison resist potion.

[merry pebble]

why cheese? fully upgrade your iron mace, iron armor and shield, drink poison mead and he is sudenly pretty easy

[hot flint]

Ive already done all that

[thin sonnet]

you can parry bonemass's melee attack easily, just monitor your HP

[azure zephyr]

I did bonemass with an iron sword and axe, all I needed was the poison resist and half-decent parry timing.

[hot flint]

Alright nevermind, forget i asked. Im just gonna turn cheats on

[thin sonnet]

what part of the fight is problematic for you?

[verbal kraken]

That being said, my main drive has 30.5 out of 222.3 GB free, and my secondary one has 134.9 out of 931.5 GB free

[hot flint]

That he's resistant to most things

[thin sonnet]

iron mace

use any weapon with blunt damage. that, he's weak to

[hot flint]

Ive read the wiki. I know.

[merry pebble]

you can in #screenshots if its valheim related or if you want to send video of what is happening to you you can in #memes-and-clips

[thin sonnet]

then that's not a problem. just use the mace

[azure zephyr]

Then, and I hate saying this because it's always such a meme and it's never really directly helpful, but.

This sounds like a skill issue.

If you want help, I can make some quick iron gear and come help.

[hot flint]

Sure, i dont have the time to grind. I use mostly the bow

[thin sonnet]

yea bow is useless against bonemass, unless you use frost arrows. eitherway, its advisable to go melee on em

[hot flint]

Does pressing K in creative mode kill bosses as well?

or killall

[merry pebble]

yes

[azure zephyr]

If you're just going to cheat him I won't bother, but if you want to take him on legitimately, let me know.

[tiny tiger]

I can assure you it will be a lot more satisfying learning the bosses mechanics and attack patterns and beating him legitimately

[hot flint]

I dont like playing with other people but thanks for the offer

[azure zephyr]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hot flint]

Nah screw that, im not about to waste hours on this

[tiny tiger]

If you are struggling at any point in the game with an enemy or boss, it’s time to step back and reevaluate the situation and see what else you can do to be more well equipped

[azure zephyr]

If you can't handle Bonemass, you aren't going to be able to handle Moder.

[hot flint]

Well see

[thin sonnet]

oh no Yagluth will be a pain cuz he's resistant to bows

[hot flint]

If i wanted to hate fighting bosses in video games i'd just play dark souls

[azure zephyr]

I don't know how to break it to you, but this game is kind of inspired by Souls games as far as combat is concerned. Might not be directly related, but they're cousins.

[hot flint]

I can already tell lol

[compact gazelle]

Combat can be better. You’re stuck in one perpetual motion. Skyrim got better movement frfr.

[azure zephyr]

My point was, you'll either need to 'git gud' now, or accept playing the game in creative. No harm in that, but.

[pulsar mortar]

Monster Hunter World (endgame) is much harder than any Dark Souls, try fighting Tempered Rajang

[tiny tiger]

I find the game really picks up after moder

[hot flint]

I can fight enemy mobs just fine, its bosses that need work on. The first 2 are too easy and then there's bonemass

[tiny tiger]

I didn’t really have difficulty just running through most of the content until plains but lack of preparedness will catch up to you

[pulsar mortar]

Just use mace and he goes easy

[compact gazelle]

Bonemass is the easiest boss 😭

[thin sonnet]

just be wise with what movement to use. whether to go with an attack combo with the axes or a quick jab with a spear

[merry pebble]

not really, but he is not really that bad 🙂

[thin sonnet]

i find bonemass to be easier if there is little lag for me to parry his attack

good thing i had upgraded my pc

[azure zephyr]

Easiest boss in my opinion is Elder. Just stand under his feet and parry his kicks. Or if you aren't that good, block with a tower shield.

[compact gazelle]

The queen in my opinion is hardest cause all the seekers n that’s about it.

[meager fossil]

Quick question! I just started a new game, but started with Eikthyrs and elders power already enabled. How come?

[vapid hearth]

It feels like scrap iron no longer spawns in sunken crypt chests
Either that or it's much rarer now

[compact gazelle]

Omg the elder took me forever 😭

[thin sonnet]

could be you're using the wrong character

[azure zephyr]

You keep your last equipped power. Characters carry over their inventories.

[grave wagon]

Did you use an older character?

[tiny tiger]

I found moder difficult but we had wolves and drakes coming in throughout the fight

[hot flint]

Also another thing, making the player fight a melee boss in the swampy terrain which is designed to slow you down. Not great

[thin sonnet]

oh that part gets me angry everytime it happens hahaha

[meager fossil]

No I deleted my old character. I want to start 100% over

[tiny tiger]

Using the hoe to raise the ground can circumvent that

[azure zephyr]

So make it not swampy?

[grave wagon]

Just luck of the draw.

[fossil delta]

Its just a random roll.

[azure zephyr]

To quote a corny 80s cartoon.

YOU. HAVE. THE POWER.

[meager fossil]

Can I not make a new game, and NOT have my old power or something carry over?

[azure zephyr]

Make a new Character.

[meager fossil]

@azure zephyr Thats what I did

[fossil delta]

Did you use fire arrows?

[hot flint]

It shouldnt be left up to me and my stone piles to compensate

[grave wagon]

Was there anything else in your inventory?

[tiny tiger]

New character and world?

Do you mean like the boss faces are on the altars

[meager fossil]

@grave wagon No idea. I didnt go into my inventory. I just deleted that new character, currently making another new one to see

[azure zephyr]

This, once again, sounds like a skill issue. Personally I didn't bother terraforming and did just fine, barring when I died because I forgot to refresh poison resistance. That is DESPITE being mobbed by skeletons, Draugur, and two Wraiths once nighttime hit.

[grave wagon]

Gotcha, hopefully it works this time.

[hot flint]

Alright i get it, youre the pro. Im just bad

[azure zephyr]

No, lmao. I'm trash. I can barly parry most attacks. The difference is, you just don't want to put in the time to learn things.

[thin sonnet]

many of the mistakes ive done in my valheim playthroughs were because of lack of preparation

[tiny tiger]

I would argue most deaths happen due to inadequate preparation or carelessness

[compact gazelle]

Frost arrows work best

[meager fossil]

@grave wagon I think what happened was, I made a new character but went into another world maybe? I didnt notice that those were seperate things. So this time I made a new world too

[grave wagon]

Glad it's working for you now.

[worn vector]

my group just finished mistlands for the first time - without spoiling any Ashlands content, roughly how much room do I need to allocate in my base for any new deployables? generally as much as any other workstation ?

[tiny tiger]

I died in the swamp today a few times because I thought I’d be okay with 60hp 150 stamina, and then another time in a crypt because I jumped into an unexplored part and got put in a corner by 3-4 dragur

[grave wagon]

Not much.

[worn vector]

perfect! thanks

[meager fossil]

@tiny tiger I guess u NotGod?

[azure zephyr]

It is for this reason I will say one word:

Ategir.

Spin to win.

[thin sonnet]

not that much more. there are some new upgrades for your blackforge and other things, galdr table. there isnt much

[tiny tiger]

I’m challenging myself to use sword and knife only on this character

[thin sonnet]

you can keep the blast furnaces too

also the ||new portals are useful, and they're large||

[grave wagon]

There will be some optional things and depending on your setup there might be some need to restructure some stuff but none if it should be a big deal.

[azure zephyr]

I'm putting off schoolwork and tracking down a mountain biome just because I don't want to deal with building an outpost for my ship. I can't imagine how painful Ashlands is going to be for me.

[tiny tiger]

Hey dude don’t let the game get in the way of schoolwork, the game has alot longer shelf life

[thin sonnet]

you'll definitely have a nice welcome when you hop on the land :) by the char-boys (mobs)

[azure zephyr]

I'm in week 16 of 16 of my second semester of SDI, I need the distraction.

[thin sonnet]

i can only imagine the Deep North food you'll get

[azure zephyr]

None.

[thin sonnet]

deep north lobscouse or smth

[azure zephyr]

I'd be surprised if there were any plant-based foods. I expect it'll all be meats, and you'll need to hunt some pretty gnarly animals to get the best.

I would like to see paint introduced, though.

[fossil delta]

IDK about that. The Elder is very weak to fire. Frost works well against Bonemass.

[azure zephyr]

Can you even reliably get frost arrows for Bonemass?

I guess you might be able to craft the frost hammer if you get lucky.

[thin sonnet]

if you make frost resistance potions early on

[compact gazelle]

That’s what I said. Frost works best against bonemass 💀.

[thin sonnet]

also honestly, i have never seen myself use frostner. mostly it has been the sword

[compact gazelle]

Same

[fossil delta]

Once you get frost resistance. Drakes aren't that hard to kill. Its risky, though. If you run into wolves, especially.

[wooden geyser]

^ exactly, frost potions and iron armor can get you far in the mountains in the iron age, so you can fight Bonemass with frost arrows

[compact gazelle]

I use like half the weapons. I still craft them all for the weapon wall to 😎

Them new weapons are great 💪🏽

[fossil delta]

You initially said the Elder. I double checked.

[compact gazelle]

Lmfao bruh 💀

Fax. But starting off fresh the elder took me so long 💀

[azure zephyr]

I tried doing the ranged game the first time I killed him, only to realize how easy he was to parry or dodge through for a melee kill.

[compact gazelle]

Big fax on that one. I went back to kill the bosses for their trophies and bonemass is harder than I remember 💀

[nocturne wolf]

Don’t parry bosses, it uses more stamina than rolling and wont stagger the boss

[azure zephyr]

I hate to say it, but bows feel like a bit of a noob trap for this game. They're useful for hunting and the occasional bit of exploration, but a lot of bosses seem overly resistant to their use.

[nocturne wolf]

A weapon doesn’t need to kill bosses well to be good

[vapid hearth]

I kinda wish there was a stagbreaker/sledge-like tool that allowed me to harvest vegetables en-masse

[compact gazelle]

Bows use stamina so I’m happy about the crossbow additions

[azure zephyr]

When your progression is tied to boss kills, if you go all in on a weapon that can't be reliably effective, it does matter.

[nocturne wolf]

Nobody should be relying on a single damage type

[azure zephyr]

Fire arrows work for Elder, but frost arrows can't be reliably farmed for Bonemass, and I'm not sure what Moder's deal is since I haven't fought her yet, but I assume Swolnir is going to be resistant to them, as well.

[compact gazelle]

I’m not a fan how upgrading weapons dosent effect the damage percentage as much as I’d like. Like upgrade it to get +2 or +10 damage is crazy.

[azure zephyr]

Pretty sure it mostly affects durability.

My level 3 pick breaks far more slowly than it did at level 1.

[compact gazelle]

🤔

[nocturne wolf]

The durability increase is the important part

[compact gazelle]

Well yea but i just think it needs to do more damage than the +2 🤷🏽‍♂️

[flat zealot]

yeah, dmg increase is minimal compared to durability which is more important

[azure zephyr]

I'd rather it didn't, because then you'd have to put in the extra resources to gear upgrades, which would make the game even grindier.

[fossil delta]

Bow works well against Moder. Especially if you use fire and poison arrows. Especially fire.

[flat zealot]

upgrades to weapons are rather for the ease of use and not having to go back to fix your weapons

[compact gazelle]

Frfr. I got plenty of chest for food and arrows and bolts so it’s ok

[livid widget]

archer mobs are op

[azure zephyr]

That's my point. Citrus was saying that upgrades should do more to the damage / armor increase, but that would break the intended flow of the game and make it mandatory to dump way more resources into upgrades than we currently need to.

[fossil delta]

Not if you get the Root Harness, and even more so if you also use the Serpent Shield, since the resistances stack.

[compact gazelle]

A box for ingredients and a box for the actual item itself is how I play tbh.

[azure yacht]

The way they are right now makes it so upgrading is just nice-to-have but far from being necessary

[fossil delta]

Their play testing of the bosses is with lvl 1 gear.

[azure yacht]

If they drastically increased the damage from upgrading then it would go from that "nice-to-have" to "I absolutely must upgrade them"

[compact gazelle]

I max upgrade right off the bat anyways 🤷🏽‍♂️

[pastel latch]

I hate how in every playtrough I do I die at least once during the yagluth fight from my fire resistance meat running out for merely a few seconds 💀

[nocturne wolf]

Keep an eye on the timer and avoid attacks while it’s about to run out

[pastel latch]

In this playtrough there wasn't even a full second of delay between the potion running out and me applying the new one but he just so happened to attack between it

[compact gazelle]

Yea that’s why I just ditched the fire resistance for stamina mead 💀. And google says to melee him with frostner. Like how am I suppose to hit him and not die 💀.

[pastel latch]

its stupid you cannot chug a new potion until the duration is 0 for fire/poison resist tbh

[compact gazelle]

And the pierce damage from arrows don’t work well on him either. I just used frost arrows along with the frost mage staff and hopes for the best hour of my life 💀

[nocturne wolf]

You have to watch your damage per fire tick and keep your stamina high enough to run when you need to

Use serpent meat and stew for the highest max health

[compact gazelle]

I still died multiple times using that fire mead that it don’t even matter if I used it or not. I ain’t even worried about it 💀.

[gloomy kettle]

Is there a way to change the server difficulty on a dedicated server?

[azure zephyr]

Yyyes.

I know of an indirect way, at least. Pull your server .fwl file, slap it in Valhost, and make your edits. Then slap it back where it belongs.

[nocturne wolf]

Check the server manual in the same folder as the .bat file, that will show how to change world modifiers and other options

[gloomy kettle]

how do i make the edits?

[azure zephyr]

If you can't figure it out after looking at the website, I can't help you.

[gloomy kettle]

Yeah I'm not seeing a button for "edit" - which I thought based on your suggestion there would be a clear button I could interact with.

got it nevermind thanks

[vapid hearth]

Woo, caught a few coral cods without even using a rare and elusive serpent trophy, or even a fishing rod

[pastel latch]

damn lucky

its frustrating the serpent trophy only has a 33% drop rate

[azure zephyr]

Welp, schoolwork is done for the day. Time to keep putting off going to the mountains.

[vapid hearth]

And the fact that the serpent trophy sinks into the water, so I have to figure out how to pull the serpent into land without running out of stamina

[mossy river]

I have stacks of serpent trophies, but they're hard won and I still don't want to ever use one.

[azure zephyr]

coughHarpooncough

[pastel latch]

he literally said he was pulling the serpent..

[vapid hearth]

^ Yeah, that is true

[pastel latch]

I only saw 3 sea serpents this playtrough and 2 of them despawned ;/

[azure zephyr]

I mean. Are you playing solo?

[vapid hearth]

Yep, always

[pastel latch]

I did see like almost 10 bonemaws though

also why the hell does mistlands fishing bait use lox trophies

[fair goblet]

Man, it can be frustrating trying to find a 2-star wolf

[tiny tiger]

God damn the timing of the swamp raids is always impeccable, it’s always at my crop farm and the first time I was afk and this time I had no food and was going to make some

[vapid hearth]

How easily could a wolf tear down a wooden wall?
(or a stakewall)

[tiny tiger]

Have you ever heard about the tale of 3 little pigs

[nocturne wolf]

If you’re asking because you want to tame a wolf, you can log out and they will stop attacking it. Remember to rest after

[vapid hearth]

Ah, thank you very much

[tiny tiger]

you want a stone wall with wolf head trophies on it

[vapid hearth]

I'm just sick of trying to get them to fall into pits (usually by trying to parry them into one)

[nocturne wolf]

I like putting them in pits so I can kick greylings into the pit

[tiny tiger]

Another strategy is make them walk the plank then break it with your hammer

[vapid hearth]

Ah, good idea!

[ornate sigil]

Go Spartin and kick them in the pit instead. So long as you don't have a weapon, you kick.

(Using power attack)*
On mouse+keyboard, it's middle click on mouse.

Otherwise, something with large knock back would work well.

[slim remnant]

is lord reto always 2 star?

[vapid hearth]

Finally! An acorn!
I hate how rare those are

[merry sun]

VALHEIM NIGHTMARE MODE IS REALLY A NIGHTMARE

this turned in a real SURVIVAL game

[tepid prawn]

I just make a deep hole and then put floor over it, break it when wolf is on it, best way

[tiny tiger]

Swamp is kicking my fucking ass man

I got a abomination to half health for his half brother or some shit to spawn so now it’s a game of running around the crypt

Then I manage to kill them both to die to a one star leech because I didn’t realise my poison ran out 🤦‍♂️

[vapid hearth]

Ah, thank you very much

[slim remnant]

just wait until u get to the upcoming biomes, that will be even more fun

[tiny tiger]

I’ve gotten to mistlands it’s just I wanna get better at the previous biomes with everything I’ve learnt so far

I’m more frustrated with losing my levels than anything I seem to always reach the 40-50 range and can never get past 50

[slim remnant]

ah alright, a tip for abominations is if there is a geyser nearby lead them to it and just run around while its standing in the fire and it'll die in like 10-15 seconds

[tiny tiger]

Unfortunately they’ve all spawned on the coastlines in this swamp

However I do get to practise my corpse running skills since the entire swamp nation has decided to respawn on the path to my corpse

[vapid hearth]

At the very least abominations are easy to parry and decimate with a sword

[tiny tiger]

They’re probably my best parry timing of all the big brutes

very readable attacks

As soon as I get my shit back I can sail home which is 2 mins away and upgrade from troll armor to iron

[nocturne wolf]

What difficulty are you playing on?

[tiny tiger]

Regular lol

I wanna beat the game then take a shot at hardcore

[nocturne wolf]

I would try hardcore but none of my friends want to

[low vine]

Can ballistas attack bosses?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[tiny tiger]

I skipped iron tier armor with my hammer atgeir character but I’m definitely gonna need it for my sword run

[nocturne wolf]

I like to keep troll armor for mountains because I never find enough abominations and don’t want to become a slug

Unfortunately I have to switch to heavy armor in mountains because I only find terrible frost caves

[tiny tiger]

that’s a good call I’ve got enough for the chest piece

The one star draugr archers been giving me hell so that will actually be so useful

[vapid hearth]

And it'll be super useful for the ranged fulings and the ever dreaded deathsquitos

Plus I wanna tame loxes and have them indirectly farm deathsquitos that way

[nocturne wolf]

Deathsquitos aren’t that bad

Although I haven’t been to plains with 2 stamina food yet…

[teal horizon]

I skipped to mountain and tamed wolves in meadows gear once on a self challenge with friends obsessed with building. It wasn't fun but I got good at timing on wolf attacks really quickly!

[nocturne wolf]

I like wolves and draugr because of their predictable behaviour, it’s a shame later enemies almost always either have unpredictable movement, attacks or both

[tiny tiger]

I believe that was the goal with charred to make their attacks hard to read

[nocturne wolf]

Someone told me that the charred warriors have a pattern for deciding if they use a short and long attack but I havent noticed that, have you?

[paper marsh]

Tbh on vhard with root chest and fenris armor mosquitoes feel like tickles to me

[tiny tiger]

I am yet to reach the Ashland’s I’ve only watched gameplay and listened to interviews with the devs and their talks on the Ashland’s

[paper marsh]

Although your perception on what is a “tickle” kinda changes on that difficulty. If you don’t die in 1 hit it feels like a tickle

[tiny tiger]

38 defence 😎

Tbh I never saw what the big fuss was about deathsquitos but from what I heard they used to be more difficult..?

[nocturne wolf]

The wiki says they were nerfed on the version history page but doesn’t say how much, it was before I started playing

[tiny tiger]

There’s no iron tier cape right

My guy kinda looks dorky with the iron helmet and blue troll cape

[nocturne wolf]

No, but the troll cape doesn’t do much without the set bonus

[teal horizon]

wolf cloak comes early in the mountains

[nocturne wolf]

It looks better with silver armor

[tiny tiger]

Contemplating a lil pre bonemass wolf cape rush just for the cape aesthetics

[nocturne wolf]

Kill bonemass first so you can kill wolves while mining silver

[tiny tiger]

Can you get hunted pre bonemass?

[idle storm]

nope

[nocturne wolf]

No, but that’s a reason not to go there pre bonemass

Without being hunted I usually wont find enough wolf pelts for my armor

[tiny tiger]

Tbh that’s a good point last time I played with 2x resources

I’ll just deal I guess

Maybe one day they’ll add an iron tier cape

[nocturne wolf]

A biome doesn’t need a cape though

[tiny tiger]

It’s more about the customisability imo

The capes don’t really give much benefit until mountains anyway, troll cape only because it’s a set bonus

[spice bay]

Is it possible to post a picture on here? My buddy drew our valheim group and I desperately wanna share

[ornate sigil]

kinda strange how the cape for the plains doesn't have a ability like the mountains, mists or ash. I understand the deer/meadow cape not having a specialty, but the plains feels like its missing something because the other biomes get a specality.

[tiny tiger]

#memes-and-clips , #screenshots

[spice bay]

Tyvm pls check it out in 2 seconds. Its unreal

[tiny tiger]

What could the plains cape do though?

[ornate sigil]

slick, tar doesnt slow you down.

[tiny tiger]

Yo that looks dope

[tiny tiger]

A black tar resistant cape would be bad ass

I’m not sure whether it’s intentional or not but I admire the way the draugr hide in the corners of the crypt chambers to ambush you

[vocal rivet]

#screenshots or #fanart

[tiny tiger]

I’ve learnt to expect it now

[ornate sigil]

same. I toss a stink (ooze) bomb in almost every time I suspect a hidden dragr.

[tiny tiger]

I am yet to craft those, are they worth it?

[ornate sigil]

useful for anything that doesn't have poison resistance...it also has a trail of ticking damage marks, effectively letting you see through walls if a enemy is there or not.

[tiny tiger]

The hard part is what do I sacrifice from my inventory to make room for another item

[elfin snow]

Ashlands spawn rates are stupid rn lmao

[ornate sigil]

the upgrade is great for softening up seekers in the infested mines and completely clearing out the grubs.

ashland spawns are a slog but nothing compared to prior to LIVE in the PTB...that was nuts

[nocturne wolf]

Lox cape already has a use, a cheap frost resistance for people who went through mountains without a wolf cape. Maybe the linen cape could do something unique like reduce multi-target penalty?

[ornate sigil]

that is also a great potential for the linin cape^

[nocturne wolf]

Should I put it in suggestions or does it need a bit more thought first?

[ornate sigil]

besides being a knock-off of Thor's cape in the superhero movies....

[tiny tiger]

I mean it’s not a bad idea but logically what makes it have that

[verbal radish]

First landing onto Ashland feel like diving into Automaton planet in HD2.....

[tiny tiger]

Fur and feather capes resist frost because they insulate, root resist pierce because it’s made of tree

[nocturne wolf]

I can’t think of anything linen can do

It should be something unique so it’s viable in later biomes, thats what the feather cape, ashen cape and asksvin cape do

[ornate sigil]

grease coat it and it would become rainproof or decrease the stickyness of something like tar.

[tiny tiger]

rainproof yess

[ornate sigil]

I am not going to put it into suggestions as the majority of those things I have, have mostly been downvoted...so I'm lacking in motivation to do so.

[nocturne wolf]

My suggestions usually get no downvotes or get downvoted so bad that I delete them, there’s only been a few balanced ones

[tiny tiger]

The only suggestion I’ve had receive a lot of support is having the rain debuff increase upto a max of 2 mins and start at like 10 seconds instead of immediately jumping to 2 minutes

[ornate sigil]

that does make logical sense.

[tiny tiger]

Yeah and nobody likes rain debuff

I only thought of it cause I hated going outside to my smelters and only being in the rain for like a second but having to wait 2 whole minutes, although I guess having a fire closer by would have negated that

[ornate sigil]

partially, you still need a lit fire and it persists likely longer than 10s that your suggestion would incur and also, the 10s would dry faster under the same scenario than the 2m.

[azure yacht]

Pretty sure current spawn rates are the same as early PTB

[ornate sigil]

hmmm. might be my tempered expectations then.

[tiny tiger]

The amount of abomination spawns in my swamp is ridiculous

[azure yacht]

Recall the last moments of PTB and compare them to current version and early days of PTB.

I really don't think those nerfs were brought to live

[tiny tiger]

Maybe they’re hoping that it works like a placebo and people get used to the Ashland’s

[ornate sigil]

my brain is all over the place. was thinking of DN and read iGOD's comment about aboms....now I want a snow covered abom.

[tiny tiger]

Pine tree abomination lol

It’s just elder 2.0

[ornate sigil]

ABOM-idable snowman

[azure yacht]

*Devs

Their dev tricks won't work on me

I hope they reverted them to approach them differently rather than just reduce numbers and that's it, making them more dynamically reduced

[tiny tiger]

I like the idea of local spawn rates reducing the more enemies you kill there although I have a feeling that’s what you mean by dynamically

[nocturne wolf]

The game could use a function similar to what determines wind direction so it always spawns the enemies at the worst possible time and place.

[tiny tiger]

Ohhh like the greyling spawning mechanics?

I love having them always come pester me somehow always appearing behind me

and then running away when I finally decide to pull my weapon out

[azure yacht]

The moment it detects your hp is 10% or less it will immediately, suddenly and instantly spawn three starred warriors around you

[ornate sigil]

logs out immediately

[nocturne wolf]

When you’re only one troll away from level 3 troll armor you wont find it until you’re fighting the elder, while there are roots around you and he’s using his ranged attack.

[azure yacht]

Could be only spawning warriors and archers in the vicinity of fortresses.

Or conquering a fortress reduces the spawn rates in a wide radius...

Or both

I like the second one because it'd make it feel like you are actually invading and conquering the biome, expanding your territory little by little

[azure yacht]

And those trolls have a chance to NOT drop hides

[tiny tiger]

Makes sense considering the idea is yoy are at war with the Ashland’s

[nocturne wolf]

The troll drops a trophy so you don’t have space to pick the hide up

[finite lodge]

i thought riding on a mount would be faster

[azure yacht]

It is

[ornate sigil]

better yet, it only drops a trophy. no hides.

[tiny tiger]

Askvin cape go nyoom

How about always dropping 1 less hide then you need

[finite lodge]

how far can a lox swim?

[pliant hatch]

Until its stamina runs out.

[ornate sigil]

only thing faster than a tailwind ask cape Viking is a feather cape Viking launched via catapult.

[finite lodge]

can i harpoon it across water?

[tiny tiger]

Man I can’t wait to get catapults

The possibilities

A launch deck on top of a mountain peak

[nocturne wolf]

On top of iron poles on top of a tree on top of a mountain peak

[ornate sigil]

once I, again outside of PTB, hit the ashlands, I am going to set up a system of them to launch me home so I dont have to deal with boats or portals.

[tiny tiger]

Surely you can cross continents

[finite lodge]

still trying to figure out how to bring those 2 lox home that i tamed lol

[ornate sigil]

you could boat them at the risk of them falling off the boat. If they were like wolves, they would swim next to the boat if they did fall out.

[finite lodge]

the boat just breaks actually

[tiny tiger]

If you manage to master it, you could possibly even use them for corpse runs, just have spare feather capes and drop out of the sky right onto your corpse

If you can’t bring your lox home why not bring your home to the lox lol

Is it a big plains atleast?

[ornate sigil]

that's a heavy boi....

[sonic sundial]

yup, this really is best strat.

[ornate sigil]

lox named "boat breaker"

[finite lodge]

its a very small plains surrounded by mistlands on 3 sides and ocean on the 4th side xD

[sonic sundial]

you need a place to farm flax/barley anyway.

[tiny tiger]

Tbh I ended up taming my lox, riding him for a bit then just letting him do his own thing free roaming near my barley farm

he ended up going on a rampage in a nearby Black Forest and meadows

[finite lodge]

im so far away from my base i cant even ride them there xD oh well might just cut my losses

they wont even eat lox meat

cauldrons go to rank 4 right?

[tiny tiger]

At plains tier I believe so

spice rack, butcher table, pots and pans

[ornate sigil]

thought there were more, but I may be thinking of mist+ upgrades too.

[sonic sundial]

yeah there is an additional one from mistlands. probably for ahslands too. Have not made it there yet though and been avoiding spoilers on it so IDK.

[finite lodge]

ooh i havent unlocked spice rack yet

[sonic sundial]

youre in the plains and dont have a spice rack?

[finite lodge]

nope

[sonic sundial]

thats usually the first one. its unlockable with black forest mats

[azure yacht]

At that point is only fair that you spawn turnip seeds

[ornate sigil]

read that in a homer simpson voice....

[finite lodge]

ive had turnip seeds though, ive even made a bunch of turnips lol

[ornate sigil]

if you skipped any of the build mats, I can see why you wouldn't have it (like carrots or something).

[finite lodge]

yeah i looked it up and its carrots i never had

[ornate sigil]

was right on the nose with my guess.

[quartz path]

does anyone have good info on how far the generation distance is? like how far out the world is generated from where a player is?

ideally drawn on a map would be great

[strange arrow]

3x3 active, 5x5 loaded, 9x9 generated

[quartz path]

how big is a 9x9?

[strange arrow]

chunks/64x64m

i forget the exact distance it works out at, around 300m iirc

[ornate sigil]

(64mx9)....? as a square? huge.

[quartz path]

thankee! you don't happen to have like an infographic / map for seeing how big that is when looking at the map?

[ornate sigil]

576m square for generated and 320m for load.....

[strange arrow]

yes but the generated stuff only gets loaded in at 5x5, which is the (roughly) 300m area, a bit larger than the fog of war reveal

[quartz path]

yeah, I'm looking for generated size to make sure I don't mess with future deep north stuff

[strange arrow]

600m being the ultra safe distance, 300m being the closest without loading/spoiling

[quartz path]

just need a sense of how big 600m is on the map 😅

[ornate sigil]

2 visual circles on a uncleared map section....

[strange arrow]

yeh generously

i estimated the distance for the Ashlands update and my base was left mostly intact lol

[quartz path]

Thankee!

[strange arrow]

i have a submerged barley field now, and i'm keeping it xD

[ornate sigil]

so long as you can still replant it, I would too. very rice fields like.

[strange arrow]

i can sail the boat right from my front door now so it's kinda more convenient

[ornate sigil]

and crops float right? on a raft picking barley

[strange arrow]

haven't touched the field in case i wreck it xD but i may pick one or two and see if i can actually replant

[ornate sigil]

raise the ground if not....I assume would be the fix.

[strange arrow]

i think it looks too unique to fix

i had to go around spamming raise ground under my base foundations a bit to stop that disintegrating 😅

[ornate sigil]

bankrolled your stone deposits doing so?

[strange arrow]

i have loads of stone i was worried the whole base was undermined, i lost one wall before i managed to patch the big gap that the terrain shifting down had caused

[ornate sigil]

thankfully it wasn't the whole thing like some ppl who built in the ashlands and deep north prior to the live drop.

[strange arrow]

i wonder if any of those survived

[ornate sigil]

very few by the number of people asking how to save their "DN base that got destroyed because the land is now water"

just wish i had a screenshot of the reverse....if that ever happened. "i built near the water and now its a mountain and the majority of my base is burried" kinda of a sitch.

that would make for a funny meme.

[strange arrow]

"when terrain generation goes very wrong"

[ornate sigil]

that actually happened to some people and caused random floating pieces of land.

or like this:#steam-bugs-discussion message

when the blackforest pre live becomes ashland post live

[strange arrow]

oh my xD

Valheim the world is lava edition

[ornate sigil]

very much "time for a tree fort/base"

[strange arrow]

Ewok rules

[ornate sigil]

Elf-heim, the ground is lava

[strange arrow]

would be a fun world slider to try out

[ornate sigil]

super difficult if the mechanics didn't change. you would have to hope a tree spawned on one of the small islands of normal land just to build your way to the next tree or attempt to get the drops mid-air if chopping from up high.

[finite lodge]

i wish we could tame a serpent then ride it across the water

[cinder panther]

Hello would anyone like to join a newbie I want to learn the basics

[ornate sigil]

that would be an interesting tame/mount to be sure.

[cinder panther]

Ok

[ornate sigil]

that or youtube and wiki, they cover most everything.

[strange arrow]

if it were to be a viable mode i'd guess the lava would have be more patchy, or at least not in the starter zone, or give the players early ways of coping, also there couldn't be too much lava, or there wouldn't be anywhere for the mobs to go either

[cinder panther]

Ok thanks

[ornate sigil]

that or, being a smaller game type, it might only include flying monsters and/or monsters would be able to climb and be immune to the lava when freshly spawned( something like the first 30s)

[azure zephyr]

I have seen a very small island with just one tree.

That is all. '^'

[ornate sigil]

that does happen sometimes since the maps are "randomly" generated.

among a lot of other things.

[sonic sundial]

I always like the greydwarf camps inside rocks 🙂

[leaden magnet]

god man why does taming have to take so long

[pliant hatch]

Because the Devs were afraid the players wouldn't have anything to complain about....

[leaden magnet]

like i get the concept but 30 minutes sitting doing nothing is just excessive

[azure yacht]

Then don't sit doing nothing

I'm pretty sure there must be tons of other things that can be done in the base while waiting instead of just sit there

[leaden magnet]

i am in the ashlands my base is far away these lizard dogs will be mine

[strange arrow]

logs?

[slender saddle]

How do i set the fire spreads modifier on dedicated server?

[fossil delta]

Probably best to ask in the help channel for dedicated servers.

#dedicated-server

[slender saddle]

tried

[ornate sigil]

if you have set/changed any other world modifiers on your dedicated server, it will likely be the same.

[fathom tinsel]

Hello ive been playing Valheim for a while but today im having an error, maybe someone knows how to solve it? Well its simple i cant sit hahaha

[ornate sigil]

as in the charicter emote? like waving or dancing?

[fathom tinsel]

No just pressing E on my chair

en sitting with X my character sits and stand up without do anything

[ornate sigil]

not a issue I have heard of before. Is the chair blocked by anything?

[fathom tinsel]

Nope, can i send a video in this channel?

[glass parrot]

Not able to

[ornate sigil]

not likely but : https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202263390056357928 should allow short videos.

otherwise, https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 will allow in game pictures.

[fathom tinsel]

Im tagging you there br

[slender rover]

Have you made sure the key binding is still mapped?

Valheim likes to delete some of my custom keybinds from time to time

[fathom tinsel]

Is all the preset keybind

[slender rover]

May want to double check and try remapping just to see

[fathom tinsel]

I send it @ornate sigil

[ornate sigil]

it only shows as a download...

[fathom tinsel]

Hell

im making a gif then, idk how to use dc

[ornate sigil]

nvm. windows media player worked.

it just looks like you used the emote and stood back up instantly.

[broken junco]

doesnt the progression of valheim seem too linear

[river forge]

Ashlands is hell

[fathom tinsel]

Ye right? But i only press X and thats all

Nvm im reinstalling myb

[ornate sigil]

that is a odd bug. have you used mods before?

[river forge]

Wonder if deep north will be worse

[fathom tinsel]

No never

Even now is just vanilla

[ornate sigil]

are you on xbox or steam?

[fathom tinsel]

Steam

Im reinstalling it and see what happen

[ornate sigil]

ok. if you don't have any luck, try asking around here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 or if that still fails, try the website since it has a huge bug report section.

[fathom tinsel]

Nope it dosnt work:(

[ornate sigil]

you don't have to follow the main route, you can try skipping ahead to other biomes/bosses but it will be much more tricky if you do.

[ornate sigil]

Well, good luck finding a fix. nothing I can really do as just another player.

[fathom tinsel]

Thanks mate ill thake a video and sent it myb someone have the same problem

[slender saddle]

I wonder what the set key is? -firespread?

[ornate sigil]

not 100% sure since I don't admin a server (dedicated or otherwise). might be something in the patch notes that mentions fire spread.

[azure zephyr]

I give up. I'm not going to progress past Swamps.

[paper marsh]

Why not?

[azure zephyr]

Mountains are just too unfriendly to solo players, and I don't imagine Plains, Mistlands, or Ashlands are going to be any better. I'm sick of having crap like Golems spawn on me every three minutes while I'm just trying to gather silver.

And the CONSTANT dragon spawn and spam knocking me around is absolutely garbage, too.

I get some silver, have to fight a golem. Get some more silver, next golem destroyed my cart. Fight off that golem, another one spawns, and now there are three dragons overhead, and oh look, now there are wolves.

It is just constant fighting, and I'm done. I just want to mine some goddamn silver so I can make the next tier of armor, christ.

And now I have to PADDLE back to my main base, to pick up more frost potions, to go back and get my body and HOPEFULLY get another cart up to collect what I managed to get.

[idle moon]

I like to dig a hole and harpoon golem in it if there's one spawning where I'm mining

[azure zephyr]

They shouldn't respawn so fast to begin with.

Aren't Abominations on a 30 minute respawn? Why can't Golems do that? They aren't even critical for crafting anything other than "glass" windows.

Oh my god. Now there's a storm in the open ocean as I'm just trying to get home, and the only wind I have takes me BACK to my temporary camp. If I get hit with a serpent, I'm just taking the death at this point.

I'm so tired. I just want some Silver. c.c

[ornate sigil]

@vapid hearth I have seen others with that issue(#screenshots message) and they cheesed their way in using a portal or chair.

[azure zephyr]

Alright. Gear get. Now to retrieve the silver and eggs.

[fair goblet]

Mountains get MUCH easier once you have the silver set

[azure zephyr]

Still feel like golems need to be slowed down on spawns. Dragons flying around with knockback attacks is bad enough.

[fair goblet]

Binemass power helps q lot when you're about to he overwhelmed, as well

[grave wagon]

I think it's pretty easy. If you want to stop the golems from spawning the easiest way is to dig a hole, harpoon one, drag him into the hole so he can't escape, and just leave him there. He'll attract attention of the drakes that might fly about as well so it'll actually help you out.

[azure zephyr]

Players shouldn't have to resort to cheesing the game spawn system just to play solo, though.

[tepid pike]

i prefer to think of it as a Creative Coping mechanism 😄

[ornate sigil]

burried campfires everywhere.....

[grave wagon]

I don't know if it's cheesing to take advantage of your environment but I get what you're saying.

[azure zephyr]

I mean, by game mechanics alone, it isn't, no. But it's one of those immersion vs. metagame arguments, and I lean towards immersion.

[ornate sigil]

there are also the world modifiers to consider for a solution

[grave wagon]

I don't recall getting harassed all that much by the golems once I've already begun mining the silver because I'm in the hole and under it usually.

[azure zephyr]

In any case, I got my silver ore. An entire vein worth.

[grave wagon]

Now throw it off the cliff and find it on the black forest floor!

[azure zephyr]

147 ore.

[azure zephyr]

No, I did that with the two eggs I found...

[grave wagon]

The eggs are much easier to find than the boxes that break off the cart haha

[azure zephyr]

Thankfully, my boxes fell into a crevice I had put my cart in, trying to protect it.

And when I finally re-collected myself, the golem had wandered half the mountaintop away to fight with drakes. So I could freely dig a ramp, collect it all, re-allocate it to a new cart, and book it down the mountain like I was in the song Pepper.

[hasty mulch]

Is there any point to upgrading Trollstav or Staff of the Wild?

it seems like you wouldn't get more trolls or more thorns or anything

it's slightly annoying that level 1 mage clothing is all pretty much 99% as effective as level 4

it's just a couple extra trivial armour points

[azure zephyr]

Question: Are fire arrows good to have in the mountains? Do they do more damage to Moder and the drakes than Iron arrows?

Because I'm about to have some options.

[ornate sigil]

in exchange for a magical bubble, you give up a lot of armor as a mage

[hasty mulch]

yeah, you'd think though that upgrading the mage armour would give you like 2% more eitr regen or something

[ornate sigil]

I don't play as a mage so I don't know without looking it up, but i believe one of the sets does increase regen rates

[hasty mulch]

they both do, yes

[ornate sigil]

wiki says yes on drakes and modor

[hasty mulch]

but the upgrade path 1->2-3 doesn't do anything but increase durability and armour, which is totally useless

tldr there's no point upgrading mage set past quality 1

I suppose "nearly useless". That extra 4-6 armour might save your butt in a pinch but it's not very exciting

[tepid prawn]

Oh my god... I m ordering some IRL mead and the person I am ordering from is literally called Catelyn Stark like the GoT character, my life is complete!

[azure zephyr]

Oh my god, I just saw that dragon eggs are not portal-able.

[ornate sigil]

you want exciting? try a corpse run in the ashlands....that will get your adrenaline pumping.😋

[tepid prawn]

||Portable with the Ashlands portal though||

[azure zephyr]

Doesn't help if this is my first Moder clear.

[ornate sigil]

yep. thats why the viking kidney-belt is needed for moving those darn things.

[verbal radish]

Which armor piece to use for your first journey in Ashland ? It may seems obvious to you but darn the wide array of crazy mob in Ashland shore making my full melee build looks like a joke...

[ornate sigil]

that would depend on if you play melee or magic. in general whatever the best the mists has to offer is what you should be going in with. expect a fight for every meter of ground you cover from your first step to whenever/wherever you decide to throw down a temp base. mob supression like campfires and workbenches will be your best friend.

[verbal radish]

I went in with my full carapace armor and this bone rolling looking thing slapped me , and the char warrior sword slash hit hard on shield too :/

[ornate sigil]

bone roller are (more-gans)

[verbal radish]

I would like a more all round set up , some enemy i just can't get close to hit it

[ornate sigil]

and yes, they can be tough for sure.

when I was playing in PTB, i poked everything from a distance with a crossbow so I would either outright kill in one hit or only agro 1-2 at a time.

[verbal radish]

may be i should try hybrid mage / warrior next

but the lack of armor due to having to use either chest or leg Eitr is a bit discouraging .

[ornate sigil]

like xbox and pc, mage and heavy don't crossplay without a lot of compromises. mage, when played right, is supposidly easy in comparison.

[verbal radish]

I hope i won't die in 1 hit with full mage set up :/

[ornate sigil]

bubble staff seems to be mandatory. ice and fire secondary and fracture or troll/skele summon as a less than needed but fun to have option, but take this with a grain of salt as I am only repeating what I have read.

[azure zephyr]

So is the 'headless bear' dream a reference to the Deep North boss-to-be?

[tight yacht]

is there any reason to keep bukeberries

[cinder basalt]

yo why does the queen blow so much ass worst boss ever not fun and it takes way too long bs

[tepid pike]

we don't know yet ... nothing has been said about what the Deep North content will be

[slender saddle]

I guess we were over prepared, as Fader seemed.. underwhelming to us.

[ornate sigil]

they are a "oh crap i have all stamina foods and I need 2 hp foods for this fight" item

[tight yacht]

...how often does that happen lol

i mean you still need to regen the extra health you lose from puking and you are vulnerable the whole time

[slender saddle]

It happens more often then one would like to believe.

[idle moon]

We can bet that the deep north will have most mobs pierce resistant though

[tight yacht]

how lol...how often do you even need to pick between various food types

usually there are 3 clear winners for your progression point

[ornate sigil]

mostly when raids happen or if you make it all the way to a boss shrine and have to clear your running food for your fighting food....

[tight yacht]

eh, im not sold. dumping mine. was hoping they had more of a use than what was on the label

[ornate sigil]

i mean, if they ever implement bio-warfare, then we could use them as payloads in the siege engines.....

[tight yacht]

something idk

but becoming vulnerable and losing all your food seems like a terrible situation at any point

i guess the extremely niche scenario where you for whatever reason needed to eat super low level food then needed to eat higher level food but also had time to actually use a bukeberry and had one on you

but like...why

[odd helm]

I could see a usecase for slamming HHH on a body recovery mission where your gravestone will have your normal food, maybe EEE or something radically different

[tight yacht]

but in that case just eat regular food

[odd helm]

But I personally just eat what I would've normally eaten anyway, yeah

[tight yacht]

i was hoping they were an ingredient for something cool

[tepid prawn]

you can always set it to hard or very hard, its what world modifiers are for. if you're very well prepared, you will not die a lot and gain skills, combining to make it even easier

[cinder echo]

if im gonna go 2h which weapon is better, the demolisher or the krom?

[tight yacht]

KROM

[verbal radish]

demolisher

[cinder echo]

demolisher aoe looks sooo cool though

[tight yacht]

i have no idea i just think krom sounds cool

[cinder echo]

its very slow and takes a lot of stam.. i havent made krom yet but for resources sake im trying to figure out which is better

[verbal radish]

you can use normal sword for slash damage , but blunt damage on late game is hard to come by

[tight yacht]

do you guys move your crafting station upgrades from one base to the next, or rebuild them all at each

im thinking of leaving the basic stuff at my meadows base but disassembling the rest and moving them to my plains location

[azure zephyr]

Okay, I'm done. I get to the plains looking for a good mountain range. Land. Deathsquito. Okay, block the attack then swap to a bow and kill it. Great, good start.

Goblin raid spawns because nighttime and I didn't have a chance to set up a bench/bed/fire for a sleep, or a portal for easy travel back. Okay, they hit hard, but it's fine.

End up dying because they run around in circles like headless chickens, and a one-star goblin two-shots me.

[tight yacht]

I am so angry that I can't just lock on to one of the little bastards so I can effectively block/parry. It makes combat with things like greylings and goblins absolutely awful.

Honestly.

If you're going to riff on Dark Souls for your combat, INCLUDE A LOCK ON.

[cinder echo]

if you hold block and kinda move around its a good way of dealing with them.

just wait for them to shoot their shots, then swing

[azure zephyr]

Except that I was nearly staggered after just one of their attacks.

So if I do that, I get staggered and mobbed. I had to parry them. Which I COULD do, when they actually attacked me and didn't try running around like the little assholes they are.

It isn't fun difficulty, it's difficulty for the sake of being difficult, and it SUCKS.

[frail roost]

Stagger is based on your armor and HP values

That little run around makes fulings incredibly easy, they will always go in for a hit then run away

[livid widget]

I swear sta acts as an aggro

[mossy river]

This is about fulings? The ones with slow telegraphed attack animations? You'll learn.

[rain flare]

Krom does superior damage, and the secondary is excellent
But the AOE of demolisher is fantastic for small groups

Really just depends on what you’re fighting.

Personally, I make both so I can swap when I need too

[tight yacht]

moving the sum total of every non-portalable item into the plains now

time to make a new home for the second half of the game i have never beaten

[warm halo]

Good morning i need a friend to help me and explain me about the game and spend time to play with me

[tight yacht]

crush your enemies, see them driven before you

devastate the environment

[warm halo]

ha 😐 ?

[tight yacht]

no ha

you are a viking now

your business is war and your currency blood

go make some sales

[west leaf]

What is it in the game are you wondering about?

[warm halo]

valheim

overall

[tight yacht]

kill things, gather things on the ground, craft things

crafting things lets you kill more things which drop more things to let you craft more things

etc so forth and whatnot

eventually build a boat and explore to kill more things

[west leaf]

You are a warrior who died in Midgard long ago. Odin the All Father sends you to Valheim a realm of his own creation made to trap his enemies and cut them from Yggdrasil the world tree to be sent adrift from the other 9 realms. Odin wants you to slay these enemies of his to prove your worth to ascend into Valhalla, a hall where warriors dine and do battle with eachother for eternity untill called upon by Odin.

In Valheim you traverse its many lands and sail its seas to gain strength in arms,exploring the lost realm yeilds many visual truths of what was once there.
Build wonderous structures, forge armor, eat, drink, survive, and mostly; slay the enemies of Odin.

[verbal radish]

basically Odin make the hunger game .

[warm halo]

[warm halo]

[modern moon]

are stonehenges the only way to find yagluth vestige?

like can they spawn in villages or the stone goblin buildings

[mossy river]

Nope. Hardest boss vegvisir IMO. You're just as likely to spot the altar itself.

[modern moon]

Yeah finding Yagluth is always one of the worst parts of a playthrough

[tight yacht]

does stone or iron let you build highest?

[stuck wave]

iron - you can build the iron cage walls inside the stone to reinforce it tho, so you can have a stone-iron wall that goes just as high

something worth noting is that the dvergr walls have the same structural properties as iron, but for much cheaper

[tight yacht]

what biome are they from

im looking for a place to set down in the plains currently, just finished moder

[stuck wave]

mistlands. To make the dvergr cagewalls (I think thats the name), you need a black forge.

[tight yacht]

eh, idk if i want to hop ahead a biome in materials
