[stuck wave]

I'd advise getting a stonecutter and a forge, then you can get the iron cage stuff then

[tight yacht]

yeah i have all that

[stuck wave]

The iron beams are good too for plains - that's what I used

[tight yacht]

i packed up every bit of metal from my meadows base and im in a longboat searching for a new home down south

ive got about 5000lbs in metal in the hold

[stuck wave]

we did exactly the same thing in our world ironically.

[tight yacht]

best way to do it imo

not like im going back north to craft anything, may as well take everything i can with me

[stuck wave]

How many stacks is that? something I've found is that if you're building a large stone base, the reinforcement cost in iron is wayy more than you'd expect

[strange delta]

what is there to do after beating the ashlands boss? anything of note?

[tight yacht]

7 full stacks of iron ingots and a bit in stack 8

about 220 combined

[stuck wave]

It sounds good for foundations certainly, but each reinforcement (either iron beam or iron wall) is about 1 ingot per metre

you can get away with skeletonising your supports as much as you can, to save cost, as iron still has very good stability for its size

[tight yacht]

yeah still debating how big i want to go for this

its just me so probably not ridiculously large

my only requirement is that this one has a raised dirt wall and moat, my meadows base was just a palisades wall inside the 5 stone ring

[stuck wave]

we got about 15m in height without iron supports for our base, before we had to start relying on wood for the next storeys

[tight yacht]

im just looking for a good spot to set down right now

very risky sailing with no food buffs but i have moder buff

[stuck wave]

That's always a very tough choice to make

[stuck wave]

very risky indeed

[tight yacht]

almost got mauled by some water monster when i got a bit too close to ashlands

[stuck wave]

that's very far south.

[tight yacht]

my moder was literally bordering the boiling sea

[stuck wave]

fill seven blackmetal chests with piquant pies, that's what I'd do probably

[tight yacht]

is there a black metal equivalent of iron supports?

[stuck wave]

nah sadly. Though the ashlands has a variety of metalic supports which uses the metal unique to the region, and the mistlands has a stone type which holds its durability SLIGHTLY better than stone

The ashlands metalic support PROBABLY is better than iron, though the wiki isn't certain I think

[tight yacht]

iron and stone it is then i guess

[stuck wave]

iron and stone is the way to go, I say

[tight yacht]

just gotta keep scouting...think i found the likely candidate but i need to get the perimeter of this area first

[stuck wave]

Good luck to you, I hope your new home isn't far now

[tight yacht]

thanks for the info

[vapid hearth]

...holy FUCK, Bonemass feels so much mroe difficult now
I think I may actually end up getting defeated by him 😨
And I'm so far away from any portal that could get me home

[tight yacht]

hit da bricks

real winners run away

[plush umbra]

Guys what are the
Mats I need to unlock the new portal

[vapid hearth]

Cold...
Wet...
Unrested...
I don't think I can make it

[merry pebble]

|| gredwarf eye, grausten, molten core ||

[plush umbra]

Where do I get the second mat

[vapid hearth]

Hoookay, Bonemass' at half health. Fortunately there have been no draugr butting in except for that one draugr elite from earlier

[merry pebble]

Mine rocks in ashlands 🙂

[plush umbra]

Dang it I hate that place 😂

[thin cloak]

Press on, fellow viking!
Valhalla awaits those who can grit through even their flesh falling off their bones!

[vapid hearth]

Thank you very much!
Bonemass is almost dead!
I just gotta avoid getting greedy and take stamina meads when I can

FINALLY!
BONEMASS DEAD
Glad to know I don't need the rested buff to take this thing on
Now to make it back to my ship and find some finewood to portal my way home
Oh wait, I forgot I already have the finewood.
Now to go to Haldor's forest and find some graydverger to kill for their eyes and some cores and then portal back home

[thin cloak]

Well done, your axe surely glints brilliantly in the rays of light from the dawn of your victory!
Slick with the slime of the foul beast, you have earned your rest for this night

[vapid hearth]

Ahh, thank you very much!

[tranquil sigil]

Congrats! Bonemass can be tricky if you aren't lucky with ennemies spawn around the fight

[tight yacht]

also consider flattening all the terrain around the fight area

[vapid hearth]

Oh I did
As much as I could anyway

I even took care of the nearby draugr and skeleton spawners beforehand

[tardy zephyr]

Bonemass is easy if you take a second to prepare. Hunt draugr elite for his trophy and buy ymir flesh which will enable you to craft huge hammer that can one hit all mobs that spawn with him. For the boss itself it's best if you make yourself a frost resistant mead and visit mountains, hit some drakes for their jello and don't forget some obsidian. with it get like 300 frost arrows and a secondary bow as your can brake. Here you go, bonemass dead easy 🙂

[plush umbra]

or just hit it with a mace a few times

[vapid hearth]

Oh I think I'll need the silver cutting table to craft the jello

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[tardy zephyr]

They drop it when they die this blue blob I can't remember the name

[tight yacht]

freeze gland

[tardy zephyr]

That's it thank You

[tight yacht]

what do enemies attack as far as structures? if i build a bridge will enemies break it?

[fair cairn]

they wont atack the bridge itself

but if the bridge is blocking the way for a troll, it will be atacked

[tight yacht]

i do believe i have found my next home

now to begin the long process of securing the perimeter

i really wanted to incorporate one of these giant stone pillars into the design

any drawbacks to doing that? can enemies destroy them?

[rain flare]

Yes

[steep girder]

You mean in Ashlands? The natural stone formations? Yeah

[tight yacht]

in plains, the giant pillars

[rain flare]

Still a yes

[rain flare]

Try building on Yagluth pillars - seems those are indestructible now

[tight yacht]

no idea where those are

[rain flare]

Yagluth altar - same as finding altar to the elder, Bonemass, moder etc

But yeah finding that particular altar is very annoying

[tight yacht]

im just going with a regular stone pillar and ill make a ramparts around it with raised earth

[steep girder]

They made those indestructable? Daym.. Makes the fight a whole less stressfull I guess

[snow stratus]

Man wtf is happening with the valheim servers

[tight yacht]

how useful is a tar pit being nearby

not very or should i keep it around

[sharp bluff]

given tar can be teleported its not exactly important

do i need aerial defenses in a plains base?

[tight yacht]

deathsquitos babyyyy

def need air defenses for those guys

[sharp bluff]

well, im n the bronze age rn so i have time xd

[tight yacht]

ways to go yeah lol

[sharp bluff]

eh, elder will die within the next hour i guess, iron age should take me 5 hours max, silver age perhaps 3

ah,, atgeir my beloved
stunlocking trolls from full to null feels so good

[finite lodge]

can xbox gamepass people use mods?

[vocal rivet]

No.

[tranquil sigil]

I doubt they did, we fought him a few days ago, and at leas he was able to destroy them, he broke one completely. Maybe they are indestructible except for him? 🤷‍♂️

[steep girder]

Could well be

[rustic compass]

how does frostnier holdup in ashlands?

[tranquil sigil]

It's pretty good

Frost slows the mobs and the knockback is pretty useful to keep mobs away

I'd say it's one of the best weapons to use, with Mistwalker, at least early on

[mossy river]

Is there any reason for the spikes on forts to have knockback?

[tranquil sigil]

All spikes have knockback afaik

[mossy river]

I guess I never really paid spikes much mind because they always broke before, but watching the obnoxious pinball stuff in ashlands is a little sad.

[tranquil sigil]

Yeah especially because you can't really destroy them

[mossy river]

Well, you can, but meh. I just don't get how any designer in any video game (not just Valheim) looks at knockback and says 'that's a great addition.'

It feels like a mechanic in video games that survives because of momentum, not because it's a good design feature.

[plush umbra]

theres been an update to Valheim?

[sharp bluff]

knockback is a good design feature if implemented well

[mossy river]

Which is vanishingly rare

Bloom is another one that's rarely done in a way that makes me want it on

[sharp bluff]

thing is: knockback and stagger serve an important purpose

if you dont do them you end up with a floaty mess like skyrim

(even worse than skyrim even)

[mossy river]

I'll have to take your word for it on Skyrim, I never actually played it. But I have no idea what the goal could have been with these fort spikes, the physics combined with their seemingly oversized hitboxes are jusst all over the place.

[sharp bluff]

thats on valheim being jank

[meager fossil]

I forgot how great it feels to start over in Valheim

[sharp bluff]

best part is finishing your endgame base tbh

[rustic compass]

so Im guessing bow supremacy as well because of frost arrows?

[sharp bluff]

probably atgeir supremacy due to mob spam

[pastel latch]

in my first castle I raided I did not have a battering ram so me and my friend went to the top of the middle block of the castle and somehow fell in between the spikes into the chamber below

we then spent 20 minutes parkouring out of the tower using wack glitchy shenanigans and a stack of wood I just so happened to carry on me

[cerulean mist]

anyone want to start fresh?

[tranquil sigil]

A lot of mobs are resistant to pierce afaik, but I'm not a bow user so I wouldn't know

[sharp bluff]

thats the problem, ye

[tranquil sigil]

If you "cheese" by making a stone tower with the hoe, I'm sure bow would be a safe bet

[sharp bluff]

nope

[tranquil sigil]

We did not try that, but that sounds like fun haha. We had enough to craft a battering ram and broke the inner tower with it

[pastel latch]

we were genuinely afraid we were softlocked lmao

[sharp bluff]

ashlands doesnt really have a way to make an area unasailable

not even the endgame fortresses you can build are 100% secure

(please give us a blob trophy)

[tranquil sigil]

Fortresses are indestructible, but Valkyr's can still fly over it

[sharp bluff]

player made one, not spawned

[tranquil sigil]

Player made is all destructible, indeed

I couldn't imagine not using a spawned one to make a "safe" zone

Our mistland base pissed me off too much, we had Gjall's spawn nearby almost every in game day, I had to rebuild the roof at least 20 times

[sharp bluff]

as a staging area those are god

gjalls are the reason you have balistas

[tranquil sigil]

I've seen a guy create a pretty safe base under a rock in the ashlands

[tranquil sigil]

True that

[plush umbra]

was there a new update for Valheim today/yesterday?

[tranquil sigil]

Other than Ashlands? Not sure

They were planning to release a patch to fix some issues iirc

[plush umbra]

some1 said its been updated so our server is down until Vanilla + is updated, but i cant find anything in changelogs or google

so im not sure whats going on

[merry epoch]

How is the game on base settings solo?

as in time to complete if your idk working on it fully

[sharp bluff]

eh, depends on the player type

if you dont screw around building stuff (which is a waste since its excellent) its like 30 hours? 15 if you rush it

there is a lot of stuff you can skip but that also increases the difficulty drastically

and spawn rng can always screw you over

[merry epoch]

Im mostly looking for ways to get to the end without it being such an uphill battle in my own head

[sharp bluff]

depends on what the uphill battle is

invested time or difficulty

[merry epoch]

Either, mostly at this point i just wanna know

The minimum needed stuff to get through easily

[plush umbra]

tbh i played this game for 30 hours solo, first playthrough, it takes a while if ur just playing it raw and not looking stuff up. Then I joined a group and we did in 5 hours what I done in 30 solo lmao

i definitely recommend it, adds a whole different vibe especially if u play with a chill group with no pressure just having fun together

[tranquil sigil]

The hardest part is knowing what to do

[merry epoch]

Ahh so i dont have a group atm

[sharp bluff]

eh
Meadows 30 mins
Forest 3 hours
Swamp 4 hours
Mountains 2 hours
Plains 4 hours
Mislands 4-5 hours

[tranquil sigil]

If you look all that up it's pretty easy

[plush umbra]

ur welcome to join ours if you want @merry epoch . We have started fresh 2 days ago and are about to do 3rd boss (swamp guy) for first time on server

[sharp bluff]

the biggest issue are preps for mistlands and swamp since those two areas are hell

[plush umbra]

3 days*

[merry epoch]

Hmmm sure tbh i need to beat the elder myself first

[tranquil sigil]

I hate swamp and mistlands so much

[merry epoch]

They are the stop gates yeah but they unlock so much cool stuff

[plush umbra]

elder is easy. You just move between pillars to dodge his range attack and shoot flaming arrows at him while keeping distance

[merry epoch]

Aye ive beat him before but that world is long gone

[sharp bluff]

@plush umbra oh? thats almost where i am progression wise
im about to smelt my iron

[tranquil sigil]

Yeah Swamp has arguably one of the most valuable resource, Iron

[sharp bluff]

nothing arguable about it

[plush umbra]

ohh awesome 😁 I'm on my first playthrough and met these boys, they're awesome

[merry epoch]

I currently have my world on passive till hostile so yeah

[plush umbra]

we've cheesed silver with stagbreaker too so after swamp boss we prolly doing mountain boss as well and setting up a base in plains

[sharp bluff]

noice

[merry epoch]

Yeah i want to know how to cheese my way though while it still being legit to a degree

[sharp bluff]

atgeir ultra cheeses most fights cuz polearms are guga broken

but well, large hammers can be abused in many ways

[plush umbra]

after u get iron you get a pickaxe, get frost resitance meads and make urself a stagbreaker. U smack mountains flat areas until you get a "too hard" message under ground popping up. You found silver :P

[tranquil sigil]

Large hammer are pretty good for crowds

[sharp bluff]

atgeir is great for the forest area cuz it stunlocks trolls to death and fulings

[plush umbra]

and yeah we dont really cheese much, we tryna do it all legit and fun

[merry epoch]

Yeah i want the legit cheese lol

[hollow crag]

Playing in a group is so much fun but we never lasted further than fighting bonemass

[plush umbra]

but yeah if u guys want invite to the server let me know. We got 7 ppl so far most are from USA minus me and another european dude 😁

[sharp bluff]

which is a shame cuz bonemass is gatekeeping the fun

[merry epoch]

Throw me an invite and ill murder Elder and brt

[plush umbra]

awesome, i'll dm you it

[sharp bluff]

@plush umbra id love to join as well

[hollow crag]

We beat bonemass and then go on and clear out all the mini boss had chickens going but suddenly everyone just stopped playing

[sharp bluff]

mistlands is an ugly grind tbh

farming soft tissue is yikes

[plush umbra]

i got u!

[hollow crag]

What progression are your server on rn?

[plush umbra]

right now silver age and about to do bonemass today later in the evening when 3+ people are on

[tranquil sigil]

We had to do like 10-15 Infested Mines because we were unlucky on seal fragments, it wasn't really fun either ngl 😦

[hollow crag]

Oh i see unfortunately that be a bit hard to join mid game

[sharp bluff]

blakc cores trolling you is another "fun" thing

clear 5 mines, get 3 cores

[hollow crag]

tbh i skip mistland boss fight after i get enough black cores i am done with mistland

I was surviving in ashlands with my krom and spinesnip with wolf armour

In solo, but recently i upgraded to asksvin armour

[tepid prawn]

I need to go there often for sap and soft tissue

[hollow crag]

I usually just keep everything to the minimal and try to save resources or grind them at once

[tepid prawn]

so no mage stuff for you?

I m currently doing a slow play through, is fun and different, like it more than rushing to another biome as soon as I can do so (1 build at least one full base per biome, one of my self inflcted rules) and will also make a minimum of 3 different weapons from each biome)

[hollow crag]

Nope, i dont really like mage so...

[tepid prawn]

there is 1 weapon in the ashlands that has changed my mind on that haha, and the bubble is useful

[hollow crag]

Bows feels to be a way more reliable form of ranged attack, and i like having more hp and stamina and not having to spam the bubble every once and while

[tepid prawn]

Spinesnap is a very good bow in Ashlands

[hollow crag]

indeed

[celest frigate]

I think when you find a spot that has less mist it looks really cool though. But you have to always be listening for what’s coming…lol. Dvergrs are cool too. I like watching a large group of them destroy a Gjall.

[sharp bluff]

the entire biome gives you the finger loot wise

[ornate sigil]

Loot is up to RNG in this game. I have had swamps with like 10 crypts in them and only gotten 5 surtling cores, others where it is the reverse (with 2 boss finder stones in a single crypt).

[tranquil sigil]

Trollstav enjoyer? 👀

[meager fossil]

@tranquil sigil Whats a trollstav?! SPOILER!

[tranquil sigil]

I wonder...

[meager fossil]

Me too

Thats because we are WONDERful

[opal prairie]

Can I join the club?

[meager fossil]

@opal prairie You were already a key member

[opal prairie]

Hooray!

[opal prairie]

Our first swamp this playtrough has 10+ crypts, haven't reached final count yet, 6 surtling spawners which I portal looped, so I can get so much coal and surtlings core in a short span of time.
It also has bonemass and we found turnip seeds at the edge of it before we even set foot in the swamp.
This playtrough we won't need to find more swamp, this first one gave us all we need.

[tranquil sigil]

One swamp is enough feelsgoodman

[merry epoch]

Is there a list of all progression items that are absolutely needed, as in get this then this this and then this?

[full apex]

is there a trapdoor you can build?

like a updown door?

[merry epoch]

Also how bad is skills drain

[opal prairie]

Not really but with some wiki looking you can figure a whole lot of it out.

[merry epoch]

Roger thanks

[opal prairie]

Only in mods for now.

[opal prairie]

Upon death, the player will lose 5% of their total levels in each skill.
If you don't fiddle with the world mods.

[merry epoch]

Can you go under a level?

[merry sun]

anyone got a really underrated tip for Black Forest?

[opal prairie]

You can go back to starting level but not under that.

[full apex]

could someone reccomend a mod that adds trapdoors?

[opal prairie]

Trolls can be cheap labour.
The copper you see is only like 1/3 th of the copper available in total the rest is underground.
You can get the abyssal razor the moment you have a pickaxe and that is a very fine weapon to go into the black forest with.

[opal prairie]

#mods-discussion that question would be better suited there.

[eternal sinew]

Are the devs looking into the micro stutter sound that happens at bases? I do modded and non modded and tested on both and it still happens, idk if its caused by the fires but its really noticeable

[fair cairn]

at this rate i wont be able to resist playing valheim again, either solo on a new world or solo on my previously multiplayer world

[wraith sun]

anyone else who loves Carts? 😅

[opal prairie]

To throw of a mountain, yeah.

[wraith sun]

the more i play this game the more i use them for all sorts of things

but throwing them of a mountain is how i started, then roads from dungeon to dungeon in the swamp, then for short distances from woodline to portal when getting wood and now also as double cargo hold on longboat 😂

[opal prairie]

The longboat / karve cargo hold thing is also something I use.

[wraith sun]

i don't trust the karve anymore after it glitched through it D:

[opal prairie]

Hasn't happened to me yet. I had it happen with pets though.

[wraith sun]

glad that hasn't happened to me yet - has transported quite a few loxes on longboat so far

ever had a longboat capsize on you?

[opal prairie]

Only on the karve, boars and wolves just fell through after going over a wave. No problems with the longboat so far.

[opal prairie]

Once almost when I failed to notice a protruding rock near the coast I was sailing past.

[wraith sun]

ahh so it's just the karve being abit glitchy

[opal prairie]

In some edge cases yeah, mostly works fine but sometimes things clip through the bottom.

[wraith sun]

i had the longboat capsize on me once fighting a serpent in stormy weather - the boat was completely stationary when it suddenty turned 180 on me, had to get on top of the bottom of the ship and get my last shots in on the serpent before the boat broke apart from some sort of ticking damage

[stone whale]

anyone have a world where they have beaten father? want to go into multiplayer ( i have mastered ashlands)

[merry epoch]

Can someone tell me what the point of passive mobs versus non passive mobs would be besides greater difficulty

For background im autistic and have issues with my fight or flight response getting heavily over confused so i really panic

[stone whale]

THEY DONT ATTACK YOU IF YOU dont attack them like pigmen in minecraft

[merry epoch]

.>

[smoky quarry]

everyone is friendly

[merry epoch]

Ha

Okay thanks

[merry sun]

Thanks! Someone tried to use wooden stairs as base defense? Mobs have been seem ignoring them

[opal prairie]

No problem, that would be quite cheap base defense, need to test that out.

[slender saddle]

We are comparing boss difficulty to biome difficulty. Boss is easy compared to biome.

[rain flare]

Drakkar mountain sled anyone?

[smoky quarry]

will a boat spawned on a tar pit float? asking for a friend..

[pastel latch]

huh I never thought of that, its completely useless but quite cool if it works 👀

[merry sun]

Even in nightmare mode Bosses seem to be easier than biome

I fought Fader in normal diff and wasnt that easy! Me and my friend died like 5 times

[meager fossil]

@merry sun I think you are just talented when fighting bosses

I find bosses to be in a good spot, difficulty wise 👍

[merry sun]

I mean, they are easier than entering the biome but harder than finishing the biome

[meager fossil]

@merry sun Sounds like a good balance

[merry sun]

i think they are expected to be like that Xd

[meager fossil]

Entering a biome should be hard

[slender saddle]

My friend and i fought him once, i didn't die and the only thing i used was the staff of the wild and a few potions, as well as bonemass power. Ashland mage armor, 2 mage foods, one stamina food. Yet, when a horde of ashland mobs show up, i have a hard time surviving.

[merry sun]

Ngl Bosses untill late game only having 3-4 attacks is kinda borinh

[smoky quarry]

new biome and 1st mob is a 2star

[meager fossil]

@merry sun But that allows a buildup in boss difficulty

[calm valley]

I can never find games in the LFG tabs in game discords lol

Must not like my name

[merry sun]

I fought him 3 times
First time: 1 mage 1 melee
Second: 2 mages
Third: 2 melee

Ngl we only died more than 1 time in the First fight, probably bc we dont knew the attacks

[opal prairie]

You are the word though.

[meager fossil]

What do you mean the word? I havent heard about the bird

[river forge]

Bird is the word

[smoky quarry]

everybody knows

[river forge]

Everybody's heard about the bird

[opal prairie]

A well a everybody's heard about the bird!

[river forge]

Cue insane flappy dancing in circles

[slender saddle]

Yeah, and when you fight bonemass, moder, and yagluth, using the armor of the biome, even maxxed, there is still risk of dieing. I never had a risk of dieing. I think some adjustments can be made to make the boss feel well, boss like.

[river forge]

Maxed armor from a biome means nothing

[calm valley]

Well the word needs a server to play on lol

[merry sun]

Nightmare mode turned the game in a true survival experience and im feeling like a new player again. Lets see How Ashlands will look at Nightmare! (Im far even from swamp)

[river forge]

You can be safe in maxed armor from a biome

If you go to biome two tiers lower

[calm valley]

Let me hop in on that

[opal prairie]

A well a ooma mow mow Papa ooma mow mow! #1024264966712340510

[river forge]

Enunciating that song is near impossible

[merry sun]

im from South america, probably wont be a good playtrough for you

[river forge]

The artist didn't have human vocal chords

[calm valley]

I enjoy suffering it's ok

[opal prairie]

Duh it was a bird.

[calm valley]

I'm just gonna play New Vegas and wait for my post to hit

[wraith sun]

Haven't found Mountain yet that is smooth enough on 1 side to try that

[rain flare]

Who needs a smooth mountain? 🤣

[modern moon]

If you fail a block/parry, do you take full damage without any damage mitigation from any armor source?

trying to understand how i got 1 shot to a troll on very hard with over 140 health and 50 armor

I was exploring the mistlands ffs lmao

[fair cairn]

if you block too early you simply block what you would with the shields blocking, if you block too late yould take damage that your armor didnt block

[modern moon]

and a troll 1 shots me of all things

im pretty sure a normal troll on very hard hits at max 140 so i just dont know how it 1 shot me

[fair cairn]

was ita nromal troll? also was ita troll with a log or no?

[modern moon]

i had plains food and full root armor + black metal atgier

it was a normal troll with no log, i looked up the wiki of it and it showed it hitting 70 max, so 140 on very hard i think

[river forge]

does anything add permanent eitr?

[weary ridge]

Wdym?

[river forge]

seems to be only food

[weary ridge]

There is no permanent way to have eitr without food

[plush umbra]

Man I hate the mist lands af thank god I can stay in ashlands I am so happy lol but if there was a way to remove the mist I would do it to explore more and make a base

[weary ridge]

Just better food with longer durations

[weary ridge]

Mistlands is the best

[river forge]

so the only real source of eitr food is royal jelly

and it's limited

[languid obsidian]

my game crash when i try to make a server, anyone know how to fix this?

[weary ridge]

Not exactly

[river forge]

if you want more than 25

which is not enough for anything useful

[weary ridge]

You forget sap counts too

[river forge]

what

[weary ridge]

You can make magic food with sap

[stark rose]

Wish we had more use of the ceramic plates instead of just using it for the boat. How about roof tiles that are immune to the raining fire or somwthing

[finite lodge]

wth i thought the stonehenge area would reveal the plains boss

this game is giving me burnout ive been through like 5 different plains biome and still dont have a location

[stark rose]

Several eiter foods don't require jelly at all, particularly the ashlands meals. Can easily get over 200 eiter

[weary ridge]

Exactly and even in mistlands there’s one that uses sap to make

Magecap is needed in the other ones

[stark rose]

Took my grpup days of looking. I think we might of found the boss spawn from exploring before finding the stone

[weary ridge]

Just look for yagaluths hands

[forest hinge]

goblin towers can have them has well

[finite lodge]

viillages too allegedly

[forest hinge]

half the time i find it just by noticing the 5 stone pilars or whatever of the boss arena

[vocal rivet]

On only one playthrough have I found the vegvisr first.

[idle storm]

it's not, jelly piles in infested mines respawn

[modern moon]

You can find large areas that are mist free, which are imo the best looking areas in game to build, but its rng. I agree the mist sucks, at the very least there should be some item you can build after killing queen, maybe the dwarf lights, to get rid of more of it for building, still looks awful asthetics wise with the 10m torches

[vernal mauve]

are there any building materials immune to the damage of the obliterator?

[merry pebble]

black marble should be

[idle storm]

it is

[hazy seal]

tbh

would you prefer devs to put out deep north first or updates to other stuff like quality of life first?

for example slots for armor and accessories since the primary problem in the game is lack of space in inventory

[vocal rivet]

We're not getting any of those so it's a moot point.

[paper marsh]

Primary problem in the game I think is very subjective

[hazy seal]

i guess, but this one is complained about often

[vocal rivet]

Not anywhere near as often as vertical combat.

[hazy seal]

true

also spears kinda sucky suck suck

[merry pebble]

well as far as we know we will not be getting anything to expand inventory, not extra slots nor backpacks or anything

[paper marsh]

Personally one of the things I'd be most excited for would be a thorough balance patch

[hazy seal]

objectively worst weapon, right behind fists, at least with fists you have strong attack that pushes enemies

[river forge]

I'd say deep north

fixing qol will take some doing

Where do you even start?

[paper marsh]

Spears aren't terrible, but I find they're often overshadowed by bows

[ebon siren]

theyre fine unless fighting skeletons n stuff

[paper marsh]

On bowless runs spears are very clutch, and they're the fastest levelling melee weapon too which gives them pretty decent damage

[ebon siren]

& bonemass

[hazy seal]

i'd be hyped if they updated earlier biomes, ashlands have more content than meadows to mountain singlehandedly

[vocal rivet]

By definition QOL is a nice to have, not something that actually needs fixing.

[river forge]

Mods fix it, if you want modded

[sharp bluff]

spears are complete garbage as long atgeirs exist in the game

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely, it's just new.

[paper marsh]

hm, I feel like Ashlands doesn't have more content than black forest + Swamp. And some of the content in Ashlands is really a miss for me

[hazy seal]

spears alos have bad strong attack, imo it should be a dash with it

you know, quickly closing the distance, make throwing optional

[sharp bluff]

that strong attack is the only good thing about them

their primariy attack is the issue

[river forge]

I'd like optimisation for netcode

[hazy seal]

not to mention how most enemies are resistant to pierce

blunt has the least mobs that are resistant to it

[river forge]

I have a perfect connection to a dedicated server, but as soon as I go near another player, the connection goes to crap

[sharp bluff]

that doesnt stop the atgeirs
the issue is the hitbox of the spear
the instant you stand on an incline you dont have a weapon

[hazy seal]

spears got a ricochet shot from bows and crossbows being so fucking powerful

[sharp bluff]

and atgeirs being spears but better

[hazy seal]

tbh spears should have directional attack if you hold right click at the cost of very slightly slowing the attack

[vocal rivet]

"optimising the netcode" would do nothing for that.

[paper marsh]

Pros of spear:

• Fast attack speed (Really good on higher difficulty / light armor builds)
• Levels fast (fast attack speed and more xp per-hit than other melee weapons)
• Ranged utility, which transitions easily into melee utility by no equip delay when picking spear up
• Small attack area (damage isn't split between walls and such in a tight dungeon)
• High first-hit damage for it's attack speed, helping with staggering

Cons:

• Ranged attack way overshadowed by bow
• Small attack area makes it difficult to attack some enemies (can't hit body piles either), and hard to deal with groups and inclines
• No 3 hit combo
• Pierce Damage

[river forge]

What's causing it then

[worn vector]

how do enemies scale? do mobs have static HP, or will it vary depending on how many people are online/ with me in the zone?

for instance if I fight Moder alone vs. with 2 others does that change anything

[vocal rivet]

The chunk owner having a poor connection.

[river forge]

That sounds odd

They doing something funny like peer to peer?

[paper marsh]

More players buffs mobs some. Something like +5% damage and +30% effective health per player, capping at 5 players (so 10 players doesn't buff more than 5 players does)

[vocal rivet]

It's not quite, but effectively, yeah.

[merry pebble]

Creatures gain +30% more effective health per each additional player within 100 meters. E.g. 3 players = +60% effective health.
This is updated whenever the creature takes damage.
Creatures gain +4% more damage per each additional player within 100 meters. E.g. 3 players = +8% damage.
This is updated whenever the creature deals damage.

[finite lodge]

whats the diff between a .db file and a .fwl file

[meager fossil]

Were we always able to name map tags? I dont remember being able to do that. But i love it

[vocal rivet]

Pretty much everything. You need both for a world.

[vocal rivet]

Yep, since EA.

[frail roost]

Valheim uses peer to peer to host a "chunk" that players are existing in. First person in the area becomes the "host" for anyone else

[river forge]

lame

[frail roost]

As for the Net code, it can absolutely be improved but I doubt it's on the list of priorities atm

[river forge]

so the first person in an area supports the connection of the next person to walk in?

[frail roost]

Yeah they become the host in which most of the information filters through (the net code still does some work, but most of it is peer to peer)

[river forge]

lol

why not have a dedi server take the payload

[frail roost]

shrug

Theres only two programmers on the team, I'm not sure they have the bandwidth to fix things like that until the 1.0, if at all

[river forge]

time then

[frail roost]

That's the name of the game round here

[meager terrace]

anyone know how I could fix my Valheim?
every time I launch Valheim it loads and then pops up a small window then closes

[nocturne wolf]

Are you using mods?

[meager terrace]

nope

[nocturne wolf]

Have you used mods before?

[meager terrace]

idk how to mod valheim

[meager terrace]

never have

[nocturne wolf]

That's usually a mod issue, I don't know what else could cause it

I haven't used mods either

[meager terrace]

k

[weary ridge]

Uninstall then reinstall

[frail roost]

Of course the danger of taking time is that the longer they take, the more hyper saturated the "open world survival craft" genre becomes, but that's a risk that they're gonna have to take with a small team

[meager terrace]

just started doing that now

[meager terrace]

idk why it decided to do this now, it was running just fine yesterday night

[weary ridge]

Yeah, had the same issue but once I did that it work just fine. It’s probably because you are missing certain files or have corrupted files

[meager terrace]

still crashed

[meager terrace]

ima start closing applications now to see if one might be in the way

[weary ridge]

Possibly

[meager terrace]

is there any way for me to find what is crashing it?

causer other than microsoft edge and discord there is nothing else open

[tiny tiger]

Are you playing single player? The only crash I’ve had so far was when I tried playing 3 player for the first time

[meager terrace]

or might there be a way to keep the error window open for longer

[meager terrace]

I played both single and multiplayer both just fine yesterday, but now it crashes on launch

[meager terrace]

I could share my screen to you in a vc if that could help

[vocal rivet]

Again, not broken.

[near saddle]

I think the distributed host design is genius

While it's not completely smooth and could use some tweaking, like detecting and excluding players with terrible bandwidth, it's really smart

[warm sandal]

i am not able to make any progress in the ashlands... all I ever do is go there... kill all the mob around, repair my defenses and kill more mobs that respawned and back to repair... i can not go do anything because anytime i go there i get flooded with mobs 😦 maybe I need to try a different strategy ... did not manage as of yet to even reach a flametal deposit.. i can see one... but going there proves to be impossible for me...sooooo many enemies 😦

[near saddle]

Have you done any spawnproofing?

[warm sandal]

i placed as much campfires around as i could but they get destroyed all the time by the mobs

[near saddle]

Raise ground

[oak zephyr]

BR player?

[warm sandal]

all i can do is snatch a few bits and bobs here and there... place more campfires kill some more mobs and go home because of nightfalls

[near saddle]

#1024264966712340510

[warm sandal]

oh... yeah i could raise the ground 2 times to make them campfires unreachable by the mobs that would be an idea...did not occur to me...thanks for the advice

[oak zephyr]

I'm looking for a Brazilian player to play

[worn vector]

do charred mobs randomly spawn or only at spawners? I swear theres this lava field and theyre just coming out of the ground in the center

[warm sandal]

at least i managed not to get killed a second time in the ashlands 😄 one time paying the fee is enough in my book 😄

[gilded frigate]

Is there any way to restore boulders?
Friend brought back 8 loxes to the home and they got out of their pen
fucked everything up

trampled everything like an Attack on Titan Rumbling

[near saddle]

You can load a backup, no?

[gilded frigate]

I guess

I'm not the host tho and I've done like 30 hrs of additional building since then

just deciding now that it would be nice to restore if there was a way

[near saddle]

Oh, well it's likely possible to spawn them with the console

[gilded frigate]

ah and to clarify I didn't mean they destroyed the home, but deforested and destroyed boulders in a large barren radius of the home now

[half dragon]

I unfortunately managed to die a 2nd time. First one was the big birb, an unfortunate sequence of events.

The 2nd time I got betrayed by the smurfs. I was using the root spell and they must have somehow aggroed them... didn't know they were angry with me and I got 1 shot killed

It's just a bit frustrating to die to BS like this when you've survived many times worse situations multiple times before

[dim heath]

Hey guys, I am looking for a group to join for a 2 hours to play on my or others server.
I have killed Eithyr, 20hs into game.
I'm 26, looking to chill and have fun for a while.

[strange arrow]

free instance clearance xD

[meager juniper]

Hello, anyone want to trade a 2 star asksvin egg? I'll trade any in game item I have in return

[half dragon]

Just reminding that trading with strangers isn't much different from spawning items in, since that could be exactly what happened to the item you're getting in trade

[meager juniper]

I guess... but how does one use the dev console?

[gilded frigate]

Which is why transferrable inventories should be a possible constraint

[merry pebble]

you press F5 and type in "devcommands"

[half dragon]

have to enable the console first

[gilded frigate]

I think the possiblilty of "cheating" items into any world hurts my mood about this game
as a new player

[merry pebble]

if you dont have it enabled you have to go to launch options on steam (if you are using steam version) and put in "-console"

[gilded frigate]

I like everything else about the game otherwise, but what is stopping me from saving time and just spawning wood in on another world
since it's a renewable resource, instead of spending my irl time to chop and replant trees on repeat until I have enough?
the resource isn't rare or finite, just time consuming

[strange arrow]

make a greydwarf farm

[gilded frigate]

or same for having a farm

[strange arrow]

you can literally go do other stuff, come back and collect a fortune in mats xD

[gilded frigate]

why actually spend time replanting and reharvesting
when I can make a pretty farm for the aesthetic purpose
but just spawn in the carrots and onions

[meager juniper]

as much as I don't want it either, I have only seen a single 2 star asksvin in all the countless nights I have been hunting it. For sanity sake, I just want to see it in action. I could just make a test server for it just to see

[gilded frigate]

what was the reasoning for development saying no to character transfer disabled wrolds?

[strange arrow]

i just avoided using commands until i was forced to

[meager juniper]

^

[gilded frigate]

I did mention this yesterday and someone said it was already addressed as not being considered

[meager juniper]

I don't even know how to use devcommands XD

[plush umbra]

can you no longer mine yagluth's hands? :(

[gilded frigate]

They break

[plush umbra]

they don't show any numbers to me

[gilded frigate]

Hm, I'm not sure then. Yagluth broke those fingers with his attacks in my exp

[merry pebble]

yeah, he was able to break them every time i fought him... i will go check if he still can

[warm sandal]

happend to my yag fight post ashlands update too... yag did not break his altar with meteors and i could not mine it either

seems those finally do give protection when hiding behind 😄

[plush umbra]

F then

they were really good for stone

[warm sandal]

mine one ot the other pilars? 😄 I prefer the boss arena not looking dissheveled in the landscape 😄

[half dragon]

The ruined boss arena reflects tha fate of the boss

[gilded frigate]

A good portion of my stone stash atm is from Yagluth breaking the base of a finger

[half dragon]

you'll have much more stone once you reach mistland... that biome is a literal stone mine

becomes very easy to fill a black metal chest with stone

[fossil delta]

I don't understand. Why would wards be a problem?

[half dragon]

and solution would be spacing out buildings properly...

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the ward range isn't that great. Everyone making mini houses?

[half dragon]

Yes lol... do you guys live in tiny shacks?

[odd helm]

I don't believe Valheim's building mechanics were designed with high density housing in mind

[half dragon]

I'm building stuff for myself and even then I still space it out decently

[fossil delta]

Especially when you should only have a max of 10 people. Nothing high density about 10 people.

[worn vector]

theres a mod for wards

[plush umbra]

just play by your own rules and quit yapping

[half dragon]

and that would still end up being built tighter than my base...

[odd helm]

You can also just not use wards, or share one ward on the space that it occupies

[fossil delta]

They apparently don't trust each other.

[half dragon]

does something stop them from breaking that ward anyway?

No?

[fossil delta]

Wards can still be broken as far as I know. I haven't ran a server for over a year.

[merry pebble]

sir that is not a small comunity XD

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I've used wards before. They are for keeping honest people honest. Anyone set on messing things up are going to do it regardless.

[worn vector]

just use better wards

[merry pebble]

Btw, to the earlier discussion about Yag stone fingers not breaking, they do break, just tried with bronze, iron and BM picks and all do dmg to them

[worn vector]

its a mod that makes wards super configurable

then I can't help you

[fossil delta]

Yeah, Yag usually breaks at least one when I fight him. He broke all of them the first time I fought him.

[merry pebble]

yeah, that was my experience too, but somebody said that they are no longer brakable

[fossil delta]

Oh, yeah, I haven't fought him in over a year.

[merry pebble]

i am just testing it and everything is still the same, attacks break them and pickaxes too

oh wait, they now don t take dmg? i just mined them...

[fossil delta]

I've noticed they have redone the ancient fallen trees. They are far easier for draugr to walk up on now.

[half dragon]

?

[merry pebble]

i believe that was enemy rework, not the trees 😄

[fossil delta]

Maybe. I don't recall my being able to easily walk up on them either. But I usually jump up on them anyways. So maybe I am remembering my habits better than how the trees actually looked. I just know they used to not be able to get up on many of the models.

[merry pebble]

hmm, it seems that the stones have basically indestructible layer now, there is still rock under it but even if you break it chunks of the finger are not missing, interesting
edit: one of the fingers is actually still destructible, its the smallest/broken one

[merry pebble]

now they are basically able to go wherever you can go 😄 (without jumping ofc)

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they can even navigate past branches.

[plush umbra]

what are the best mistlands tier weapons

[plush umbra]

Gun

[plush umbra]

what

:3

Fr tho no clue still in the plains rn

[plush umbra]

real

i used arbalest and the longsword last playthrough

but that was pre ashlands, so not sure if they changed anything with it, maybe balance or something new idk

[merry pebble]

i love mistwalker wholeheartedly

[plush umbra]

My friend should be jumping on this weekend YIPPEEEEEE NO MORE SOLO EVERYTHING

Hows everyones playthrus going tho

[fossil delta]

Fine until last night. Hopefully its magically fixed itself today, though.

[plush umbra]

bosses feel tankier than usual, maybe they added some scaling, but it's as good as always

[plush umbra]

Thats good what happened?

I have a love hate relationship with building

[fossil delta]

It started telling my wife that I am running an old version when she tries to join me on the Steam server.

[plush umbra]

Strange

[fossil delta]

It said it even after I did a re install.

[plush umbra]

I love building but then i get over the top and make something that doesnt work or i just cannot create what i plan ingame

Ive got a tiny spot of black forest near my base and i just walked out and saw a troll hitting a fat squat

[fossil delta]

If it does it again today I might buy a public server for us to try playing on.

[plush umbra]

Why do i struggle more with parrying on big windup attacks.

[fossil delta]

Different timing.

[plush umbra]

Ik ik but it gives me so much time to prepare and i just miss it every single time

[frigid gust]

Timing is hard. I still miss it sometimes after over a 1200 hours in the game.

[fossil delta]

I prefer not to parry or dodge roll anyways. So I don't have hours of practice.

[nocturne wolf]

I usually jump instead of parry or roll
Not with the overhead attacks though, of course

[dusty yarrow]

hello, sorry for bother. How i could discuss or report about valheim ashland's bug?

[frigid gust]

I tend to roll more often, it's invulnerability instead of possibly not having enough armor/shield to parry a big guy 😉

[frigid gust]

There's #valheim-help that might help you figure out if it's really a bug, and #steam-bugs-discussion if you're sure it's a bug

[merry pebble]

#steam-bugs-discussion or #xbox-bugs-discussion 🙂

[dusty yarrow]

oh thankyou..

[plush umbra]

Depends what im fighting. For trolls now ik i can just take the damage if i miss so its more just practice but for stronger enemies i usually will roll

[nocturne wolf]

Do you usually try parrying too late or too early?

[frigid gust]

Have you used an atgeir? They make troll battling almost trivial 😉

[fossil delta]

I usually just run out of the way, I jump when the terrain calls for it.

[plush umbra]

I havent

[nocturne wolf]

They make battling almost trivial*

[plush umbra]

Too early for big windup attacks. im pretty good for the more average speed attacks

[frigid gust]

There are plenty of things that resist piercing, plus you don't get one at the mountain tier.

[nocturne wolf]

No weapon will work well against everything though

[plush umbra]

Gonna be honest mountain was one of the easier things for me

[worn vector]

do charred mobs spawn naturally in ashlands or only from spawners?

[nocturne wolf]

Mountain is very easy if you're not trying to get fenris armor, since all the important materials except silver run towards you and die

[frigid gust]

Yeah, I'm just saying that lots of people thing the atgeir is OP, but it's just pretty situational. And really, really good at the situations it is effective for 😛

Ooze bombs make the Frost Caves much easier, just FYI. Cultists and Ulvs are weak to poison.

[plush umbra]

Im gonna test it cos im making some gear for my friend to join me and thats what he chose for a weapon

[fossil delta]

From comments I have seen here, they do not need spawners.

Even though there are spawners inside the Citadels.

[sharp bluff]

there are spawners EVERYWHERE

[frigid gust]

Secondary attack is AoE, and will stagger almost anything, and then follow it up with regular attacks.

[plush umbra]

Good to know. I will let him know that for sure

[sharp bluff]

can and will stunlock everything weak to pierce from full to null

trolls in particular get absolutely bodied

[plush umbra]

Trolls are easy once ur further anyway tho

Im more worried about enemies from the area i get whatever i use to make my new weapons

[frigid gust]

Troll caves are where the atgeir comes in clutch, because you can't put distance between yourself and them.

[sharp bluff]

also works extremely well on other mobs (like any form of fuling lul)

[sharp bluff]

doesnt work one starred ones, unfortunately

[plush umbra]

Extremely good to know.

[lone sapphire]

You can mine ||flametal pillars|| with ||the catapults explosive ammo||. It is highly effective and doesn't ||cause it to sink||.

edit: I tried to reproduce. ||It does activate the sinking.|| Must have gotten lucky on the first test.

[nocturne wolf]

||Mining is definitely what explosive ammo is best for||

[frigid gust]

Why not? You sometimes might need to spin twice, or upgrade the atgeir, but you can stagger anything.

[nocturne wolf]

Bring some friends and all spin at the same time to become a blender

[shy marlin]

That's where you just atgeir special into dodge into atgeir special, past that you are in staggerlock territory and just need to poke

Whenever you get low on stamina just pause the staggerlock with atgeir special, wait for the enemy to get out of stagger (allowing stamina to rebuild) and then atgeir special again (repeat until you are at a safe level of stamina)

[sharp bluff]

yeah but at that point i get impatient and just skill-check the troll

[shy marlin]

[grim pier]

when deep north

[frigid gust]

We've still got a beta out for some Ashlands fixes and updates... chill 😛

[jaunty grotto]

Why did they break the stagbreaker, it's a useless weapon now.

[high moat]

How did they break the stag breaker?

[timid crater]

whyd they ban me from the suggestions channel all i suggested was that they should add skibidi toilet 😞

[jaunty grotto]

They should ban you for your name

[azure zephyr]

[azure yacht]

#rules-and-info message

#suggestions message

[tiny tiger]

Why when I click ur name are you under suspicion of terrorist activity bruh @timid crater

[dapper token]

i sure do wonder

[tiny tiger]

what did you even do to get that

[vocal rivet]

Love the link they can't use.

[dapper token]

pretty sure its just a joke/not real but whered you even see that on his profile

[nocturne wolf]

It's a custom status

[tiny tiger]

okay that’s pretty good it looks genuine

[azure yacht]

Being blocked from a channel doesn't mean just not being able to post in said channel but still see it?

[tiny tiger]

atleast on mobile

[vocal rivet]

Nope.

That's muted.

[azure yacht]

Well they did say "banned" which can be interpreted in more than one way...

I thought it meant not being able to post

TIL that dvergr stake walls are stronger than stone walls

[azure zephyr]

Or, hear me out. This is the lowest-quality bait that even my autism can register.

[azure yacht]

Too bad yggdrassil wood is somewhat more tedious than stone

[plush umbra]

i just witnessed a huge amount of lightning in the sky, pink, that normal?

[strange arrow]

[dapper token]

yea the thunderstorms in the mistlands are purple/pink

[strange arrow]

best weather in the worst biome to view it in xD

[dapper token]

true lmao

[timid crater]

i was born with this name its not my fault

[tiny tiger]

My most commonly misplaced item is the cultivator

I can never remember where I left it even though I have a designated chest for it that I forget to put it in

Does anyone know of a faster way to gather root vegetables

There’s atgeir for barley and flax, does the great hammer make them all jump out of the ground?

[frigid gust]

Hammer works for barley and flax too, but there's no speedy harvest for anything else.

[fallen zephyr]

I use a wall item stand and put in right near my cultivated area. That's where the Cultivator goes.

[tiny tiger]

looks like I have a new suggestion idea

[frigid gust]

Lots of times it's been suggested

[slender saddle]

Other than Mods, no.

[vapid patio]

omg today is not the day. i even adjusted the diffculty and i still run into at least 2 1-star enemies and 57 small enemies

[frigid gust]

My cultivator never makes it to my hotbar. I right-click to equip it from my inventory, and drop it in a chest by my field when I'm done.

[tiny tiger]

I am yet to craft wall stands and armor stands but I think it’s definitely a good idea to start doing for the ease of access

[merry pebble]

thats why i always carry it in my hotbar 😉

[tiny tiger]

My inventory is cluttered enough without it lol

32 slots and I always have 17 filled

[fallen zephyr]

Chest works too. Just store it near the farm. That's how you don't lose it.

[frigid gust]

Yeah, mine is literally in a chest adjoining the field. I actually make one for every field so I don't end up losing it like that 😉 One for my Plains farm, and one for the Mistlands

[unique onyx]

what is this nonsense, everybody knows slot 8 is for the cultivator

[tiny tiger]

Well yeah, but I’m not going to keep it in slot 8 other than when it’s in use

[fallen zephyr]

I know I'm going to get some hate, but slots 6-8 are for one's three foods.

[tiny tiger]

the things you use once every 12-15 minutes..??

[azure yacht]

More like 15-30 min

[vapid hearth]

I feel like silver veins give me as much ore as entire copper nodes

[merry pebble]

7* XD

[fallen zephyr]

Copper is objectively the worst metal in the game in terms of effort vs. reward.

[tiny tiger]

I can one up that, bronze

considering it takes the effort of copper and tin

[fallen zephyr]

Fair... my context was in mining. But, I'd agree with that.

[tiny tiger]

Silver is by far my favourite metal just for the entire process

[leaden magnet]

1 - Primary Melee
2 - Primary ranged
3 - Hammer
4 - Shield/flex slot
5 - Hoe
6 - pickaxe
789 - flex

[tiny tiger]

Where axe

[nocturne wolf]

I love kicking a cart down a cliff

[leaden magnet]

What am I a lumberjack

[nocturne wolf]

Where is your mead?

[vapid hearth]

Abso-fucking-lutely
It's why I hate upgrading bronze stuff. Thank goodness copper is less of a pain in the ass to obtain in the Mistlands

[leaden magnet]

In my tummy :3

[tiny tiger]

I don’t bother upgrading bronze stuff tbh, I usually skip most bronze related items other than a weapon and the axe

Pickaxe upgrade can wait till swamp

[leaden magnet]

Pickaxe upgrading is mandatory for Ashland's

[tiny tiger]

antler-> iron -> black metal pickaxe

flint-> bronze -> black metal axe

I’ve reached the crop saturation where it takes me the entire day to plant my crops and I’m still not finished

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe you dont need as many as you're planting?

[tiny tiger]

I have over 400 carrot seeds I may as well plant them all now

[leaden magnet]

You can never have enough

[tiny tiger]

I want to reach a point where my entire ranchs farm area is covered in vegetables

[vapid hearth]

Can items I bury despawn or are items protected from despawning when buried?

[fallen zephyr]

Fur cap brown -> simple cap purple -> extravagant cap green

[near saddle]

Items within player bases don't despawn

[tiny tiger]

That’s the base clothing for reducing stamina right

god damn it this is the third time now that the swamp has raided my farming base

[leaden magnet]

This man got the extravagant cap green but asking for 3 wood

[merry pebble]

1-primary
2-shield
3-bow
4-pickaxe
5-hoe
6-hammer
7-cultivator
8-axe
😄

[teal horizon]

1- Primary
2- shield
3- staff of protection
4-range weapon or staff of embers
5- staff of frost or different weapon type
6- axe or dead raiser
7-pickaxe
8-hammer

everything else only gets temporary slots or right click from inventory

when full mage, axe goes over pickaxe and swap on need

I haven't gotten the rest of ashlands items yet, we'll see what we get up to after we eventually successfully find fortress

[ember panther]

Wow sounds like very similar setups.

I got:
1-4 weapons
5-8 tools

[tiny tiger]

1 is always Hammer for me

Fast way to unequip weapons without the slow animation

[merry pebble]

thats what R is for 😉

[tiny tiger]

1 hammer 2 shield 3 sword 4 axe 5 bow 6 pickaxe 7 hoe 8 context spot (cultivator, potions etc)

I like using R when exploring

[near saddle]

Is that really worth though? Because R to unequip and then reequip will equip both the weapon AND shield in half the time

[tiny tiger]

Idk other than that I just like having hammer be 1

[vapid hearth]

Oh god fucking dammit. I just finish building my silver shed at the base of my mountains, so I go up to my cleared out silver quarry to get more silver ore to bring to that shed. Next thing I know, four fucking wolves come out behind a rock and I can't run away (I should have gone home and rested). Next thing I know, I die, and my skills lower on my third death this run. Here I thought I could keep up this deathless streak for as long as I could even if I was unable to avoid it altogether the first two times.

[near saddle]

Carrying a cultivator, hoe, axe, pickaxe at all times is definitely redundant by mistlands, where inventory space is very limited

Also none of you have meads in the hotbar?

[tiny tiger]

That’s honestly the worst part of dying, I couldn’t care less about the run back it’s the loss of levels that bothers me

I’m yet to break level 50 in any skill

[near saddle]

We lowered the skill loss to 1% and are much more satisfied with the game

[teal horizon]

Yeahhhh I think making death more forgiving is the least cheaty thing you can do

[tiny tiger]

I’d love infinite building resources rather than infinite building of everything

[teal horizon]

It takes SO LONG to level things up unless you macro or have infinite playtime to shoot a farm in rested

[near saddle]

The world modifiers are there, use them if something bothers you 🤷

[vapid hearth]

Exactly!
The skill loss hurts
At least my running and my spear skills are still above 70. For now

[near saddle]

I don't get the stigma around it, you play the game to have fun

[ember panther]

Was it nighttime too? Wolves in numbers are always scary

[vapid hearth]

I think it was nighttime
It was certainly dark, but I don't remember if I got that alert

[vapid hearth]

Even scarier when you don't realize they were all hiding behind a big rock until they're all 1 foot away from you

[near saddle]

You don't get the cold alert when you have frost resistance (because you don't get cold)

[nocturne wolf]

You can hear the night music if you have music enabled

[vapid hearth]

Yeah, I don't remember if I got the night music. I don't think I got the audio cue that signaled nighttime before I died to the wolves
I really gotta get this silver ore out of the mountains so I can change out of this root armor

[vocal vale]

I always press tab to use my meads lol

[vapid hearth]

...oh godDAMMIT, and NOW I'm being hunted
At the very least the gods are feeling merciful and I still have the no skill drain buff

[azure yacht]

To use it by accident when I meant to equip something else?

Nah

[vapid hearth]

I always keep my meads off my toolbar. I accidentally ate foods I didn't mean to eat, and I don't wanna make that same mistake with meads

[frozen fable]

I only put meads on my action bar for boss fights

[near saddle]

Doesn't happen very often, or often enough to bother me

[tiny tiger]

Agreed, it happened constantly to me

[near saddle]

You can also set the hotbar keys to something else than numbers

[tiny tiger]

eh it’s just less risky to leave my meads in my inventory

[azure yacht]

Changing the hotkeys? How?

[vapid hearth]

REVENGE
REVENGE!
I GOT MY REVENGE

[nocturne wolf]

I play with a controller so I need them in my hotbar because I can't walk with my inventory open

[near saddle]

Can you not? Might've been a mod

Well you can change them, just idk if for the hotbar

[azure yacht]

Afaik no, not normally

[vocal vale]

I’ve used probably 2-3x more meads accidentally than on purpose

[vocal vale]

I’d just uninstall valheim at that point

But then again I probably wouldn’t be misclicking potions in my hot bar so that’s fine

[nocturne wolf]

Yes you would

[vocal vale]

I open my inventory way too much during combat

Like you’ll catch me reorganizing my inventory while I’m getting swarmed

Just keep walking and you can be in your inventory so much

[fallen zephyr]

Well, when the ticks arrive, you gotta find a place to put them on your to-do list... 😛

[vocal vale]

Eh you can ignore them for awhile

[fallen zephyr]

That was a good joke and deserved better.

[vapid hearth]

The important question is, can I get the third black forge component pre-Ashlands? I remember how absolutely terrifying TWO star seekers and ticks were even with my armor upgraded thanks to my inability to upgrade them past level 2 (or level 3, since there was that coolant that got added later on)

[lone sapphire]

Infested Mines

[vapid hearth]

Yes, what about them?

[lone sapphire]

"can I get the third black forge component pre-Ashlands" Yes. Black cores are only found pre-Ashlands in the infested mines.

[languid vessel]

does the boat create a hole in the water textures where its hull rests?
ive noticed that when boats dip below the waterline there is no water textures inside, and it will sometimes show through to the seafloor

[smoky quarry]

i like to chop wood

[vapid hearth]

Ah, excellent, thank you

[azure yacht]

Fourth and fifth black forge level/upgrades are only found in ashlands

[vapid hearth]

OOoh, that's really cool
I hope the Deep North will have a sixth level when that comes out

[river forge]

I made a mistake

I thought valheim would give me something really good to use

A staff that summons friendly trolls, can't be bad, right?

[nocturne wolf]

Trollstav isn't really good to use?

[river forge]

Try it and find out

Just don't try it anywhere near anything of yours that you would like to keep intact

[unique onyx]

valid at participating locations only

[nocturne wolf]

I've used it already

[river forge]

How is it supposed to be helpful

[nocturne wolf]

The troll also attacks enemies

[vapid hearth]

I forgot, what's better against Yagluth, frostner or silver sword?

[river forge]

It attacks everything

[shy marlin]

Silver sword

[river forge]

Good thing I took over an ashlands charred fortress

and it can't break it

Wy did i think valeheim would give me a useful tool

[odd helm]

I think the idea is to summon it inside an enemy fortress, not your own

[nocturne wolf]

You can make the troll fight enemies for you, and when the trolls spawn they're great for breaking things

[river forge]

I will stick to the skeletons

[vapid hearth]

Awesome, thank you very much

[paper marsh]

Big meat shield and decent damage. Can take agro of a whole slew of mobs off of you

Trollstav is the best new staff for sure

[river forge]

Shame it also wants to kill you

[azure yacht]

Enemies will almost immediately start attacking the troll even if you are nearby.

It is useful

[paper marsh]

imo it doesn't change much if they're friendly or hostile. As mage you're typically playing the ranged game, and trolls will agro to whatevers closest to them so I hardly ever have a troll agro on me

[azure yacht]

As always, it's a matter on knowing how to use something, almost everything in the game is.

Like people saying ballistas are useless (which is very wrong)

Using something for 0.000001 seconds and then immediately misjudging it despite the game heavily encouraging you to take your time isn't good judgement

[nocturne wolf]

Pickaxes are useless because they have 2 block armor

[azure yacht]

Same for Arbalests, most worthless weapon because I can't block properly with them smh

[hearty niche]

So... SOB. A 2 star charred warlock is currently camping my body. I don't have enough mats to make another suit of armor. There's some Askvins nearby but I can deal with them.

Any suggestions? Is there anything those warlocks are particularly vulnerable to? \

[river forge]

eh, very limited use, if anything

spirit damage

[hearty niche]

Oh shiz I still have that silver sword

Good thinkin!

[river forge]

might need something with more punch

[hearty niche]

It's the next best thing I have and if they're vulnerable to spirit that should be good enough

[river forge]

it's 2 star, it'll be a tank

Personally, I found the trollstav underwhelming

[hearty niche]

Christ a 2 star has 1200 hp

1800!!!!

[river forge]

Summons a big flaming psychopath that wants to kill everything, including me

[azure yacht]

Only bad thing about it is that it deals around the same DMG as skeletts

[river forge]

Thanks valheim

[azure yacht]

I know, It's hilarious

It would be extremely op if it was completely friendly

[river forge]

It dies quick anyway

Maybe because i'm in hardmode, not sure

But charred warriors kill it fairly fast

[fervent trellis]

Spawn in two giant skeletons or use a catapult

[azure yacht]

Probably. It would at least have higher dmg as well

[hearty niche]

I don't know what giant skeletons you speak of

[fervent trellis]

Staff new one

[tiny tiger]

Just used the jump on top of the mountain golem pickaxe Strat

[river forge]

Literal troll weapon from devs

[hearty niche]

Yeah funny thing, my ability to continue gathering resources in the Ashlands is kinda contingent on retrieving my body... it's the Wild Stallyns/EVH problem.

[tiny tiger]

I think it’s my new favourite way to kill them

[hearty niche]

And I do not have a most triumphant catapult

[river forge]

I managed to jump on a gjall

did a lot of damage with a swing, and it had an animation to shake me off

My issue with the troll not being friendly is you cannot use it anywhere near a base

It will pound everything

[tiny tiger]

I mean you can if you kill it once it kills what it needs to tho right

[azure yacht]

In other words, balance is an issue?

[tiny tiger]

Or does it prioritise structures ?

[azure yacht]

Weird take

[river forge]

It will do what most mobs do

if you are out of reach, whack a player owned thing

[tiny tiger]

Can you summon another troll for them to fight each other then kill the weakened victor?

[paper marsh]

No, they're allies to each other

[fallen zephyr]

That's how Trolls roll!

[finite lodge]

is the boss area in the plains covered by a magical barrier?

oh nvm i think its a merchant

[tiny tiger]

Uh oh

I’ve found the howling cavern by sheer luck while exploring the mountain pre bonemass

Could I take it on with iron tier gear?

I’m gonna make a portal outside and risk it

[merry pebble]

its probably Hildir, she often spawns very close to plains 😄

[vapid hearth]

Holy shit, with all the silver ore veins I keep finding close to each other, I think it's hightime I stop hauling silver ore to my swamp base and instead bring the copper and bronze ingots I need to establish a silver smithery outpost up in the mountains

[tiny tiger]

A mountain castle would be dope af

Okay I got jumped by a one star ulf and almost died

That was a stupid idea

[vapid hearth]

Oh absolutely!
I was surprised by how effective a wooden house was in the mountains. First time ever, I tried burying my mountain base because I thought golems and drakes would attack it upon seeing the house. That's when I learned that as long as they don't see me, they don't care about any wooden walls or roofs they see

Two dilapidated cabins and two abandoned stone fortresses later, a bit of treasure, and still no onion seeds

[finite lodge]

why did they let me have every location of each boss as soon as i got into each biome but now ive been through like 7 plains and havent seen a thing that gives the location to me reeeeee

[tiny tiger]

L I found onion seeds almost immediately

Gonna have a whole chest full by the time I acquire mountain tier food

[sharp bluff]

yagluth vegvisirs are pretty damn rare

[nocturne wolf]

I usually find yagluth without finding a vegvisir, I’ve only found his vegvisir once

Mistlands vegvisir is also very rare

[tiny tiger]

I imagine the problem is with how the biomes generate

Plains and mistlands are in a ring shape compared to Black Forest swamp and mountain

[finite lodge]

do the boss locations in a world seed change when a new expansion comes out?

[azure yacht]

All locations might

[tiny tiger]

Unless they directly change the way they generate I don’t believe so

[finite lodge]

like i googled best world seed and saw a picture of the map and the bosses arent in the locations on that map lol

but i already built a nice base (in my opinion lol) here so its too late to bail now!

[azure yacht]

Because it's an old seed

[vapid hearth]

Hoookay, I think I'll need to use non-root armor for the ulves, because I think their fire attacks will bring me down in seconds

[finite lodge]

if it wasnt for root chest piece i probably woulda quit by now xD

[vapid hearth]

Yes! Finally! Onion seeds!
Now I can make mountain foods!
A shame it's impossible to sequence break Plains-tier stuff

[unkempt aspen]

I’m kinder upset that there is not different versions of the axe until late game Ashland’s or mid game mountains like I really wanted a big axes late game or 2 small axes early game you now

[azure yacht]

Counter point: It makes certain gear more unique and valuable because of the limited options.

It would be very boring if we had a dual-wield dagger frequently for example

[unkempt aspen]

I mean ya but it’s annoying that you get a big axe and can’t use it past mountains or plains plus the sword gets a big Version for 2 biomes when the axe only gets one

[ember panther]

I'd like another battleaxe without any element, just huge slash damage

[azure yacht]

Fair point on battle axe.

And it's especially awful for fist weapons.

I know and completely agree on the weapon gaps decision but those two feel very wrong

[ember panther]

Had a great opportunity for flaming flametal fists

[azure yacht]

Or perma-lightning fist which have a unique effect. Like always summon a chain lightning every second hit but it's much, much weaker than chain lightning from other weapons

[ember panther]

Damn that'd be cool too. Thunder boot special attack would be so satisfying

[azure yacht]

I'm thinking for a good effect on a perma-blood battle axe that doesn't involve life steal but can't think of any

[ember panther]

Just make it have crazy high stats but each swing damages you.

[nocturne wolf]

Attack speed increases with health lost?

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-sora-kh3-kh-gif-27223516

0.2% extra attack speed per point of hp lost

[nocturne wolf]

And it could increase knockback on the secondary attack because that one is fast enough already

[ebon siren]

i play with only one other player and we saw like 2 valkyries and 5 morgens spawning in the ruins areas within like 5 mins, is that normal?

also they materialize right infront of us

[azure yacht]

Could be, a weapon that focuses on being at the frontline but still gives you the means to survive at said frontline

Same for the Thunderer Fists™ but these are more for quick playstyles

[tranquil sigil]

||Just did Fader with my friends! https://imgur.com/a/1l5vB3c||

[gleaming crest]

according to reddit the mini bosses are meant to respawn. Ive never had any of them respawn in the same dungeon (full vanilla) are they supposed to?

[ember panther]

They respawn with unique raids

[gleaming crest]

but not in the dungeon themselves?

[ember panther]

Nah not that I've seen

[gleaming crest]

reddit just full of yappers then

[agile coral]

heyyy is there a mod or something that youre able to change the drop rate % of certain items, for example just wood and rock?

[gleaming crest]

ty

[smoky quarry]

to many chickens and not whole lot of eggs

[merry pebble]

You don't need a mod for that, you have drop rate modifier right in the game 🙂

[agile coral]

but is it for individual items tho?

[merry pebble]

No, Its for all the drops in that world

[agile coral]

okay yeah so I dont want that though i just want for woods and stone

[merry pebble]

You can enable it when you are going to gather those and after you are done you can disable them again, but you can of course ask in #mods-discussion if there is a mod for individual items 🙂

[vapid hearth]

Huh
I dont remember an unupgraded fang spear being able to stagger fulings in one hit
Could it be the high spear level?

[idle moon]

some of the new stuff increases pierce damage too

[smoky quarry]

skill counts as well

[drowsy compass]

anyone need another player? i love the game but most of the time iv played alone and would like to play it with a group of more than 2 people.

[sly verge]

what's the best way to get surtling cores mid game?

[azure zephyr]

So is there any way to flip building pieces? I know we can rotate, but half-walls on the top of gate doors always looks so wrong.

[halcyon blade]

Find a swamp with multiple fire geysers nearby one another (farm up surtlings by using the water to kill them), or just quickly run through burial chambers at that stage of the game.

[azure zephyr]

The 'beam' across the back of half walls doesn't line up with the full walls at all.

[brazen geode]

when expected 1.0?

[teal tiger]

A geyser if you have easy access to one. Mine the ground down a little bit around the geyser (not too deep to destroy spawn points and not at the geyser, you don't want to destroy it.)
You want a thin layer of water around the geyser. Surtlings will die when they spawn and you can regularly stop by to pick up cores and coal.

[teal tiger]

We just had a big update. The next big one (which probably won't even be 1.0) is going to be a ways away.

[brazen geode]

I know, but I don't know when the end of it is expected, that people can play the game and not have to start from 0 all the time due to constant changes

[teal tiger]

Why do you have to restart with the updates?

[brazen geode]

my friend and I are waiting for all the chapters to be finished, so that we can start it again

now the new biome is finished, I don't know if another biome will be made, if not then we can start playing.

[teal tiger]

Just avoid the far northern snow biomes, you'll be fine.

There's no reason to go north right now anyways.

[teal horizon]

Swamp surtling water farm

[brazen geode]

that remained as the last biome sign, thanks for that, then we can start playing slowly, do you have any advice on how to save my world, I lost one of the 700 days already

[teal tiger]

What happened to it?

[brazen geode]

and sorry for the trouble, do you have any mods to recommend, we like to build but it looks empty, is there any mod for ncpove so when I start the local server we can see everyone who is on the server

_
he sent me back for 19 days hahaha

[teal tiger]

#mods-discussion or #mods-issues might be able to help. I don't use them, unfortunately they brick Steam Link lol.

[round lichen]

raiding these fortresses solo is actually ridiculous

[high moat]

I'm a fellow solo Viking. I’ve found magic and a bow to be super helpful in the Ashlands.

[ebon siren]

unreal

[azure yacht]

You can use the catapult to destroy the spawners inside

[idle moon]

forts are one of best parts of ashlands imo

[azure yacht]

And after getting the bloodstone you can use trollstav to launch a troll inside and then assault

[ebon siren]

i just built a ladder tbh.

i used the demolisher on the castle walls

[azure yacht]

They are, all things considered.

They're underwhelming due to repetitiveness alone but still, they can still be very fun to attack

[ebon siren]

u hav to destroy the turrets first too l

[azure yacht]

The moment you breach a wall and an a whole army comes forth makes it feel like an all-out war

[ebon siren]

if you play it solo just cheese it in any way u can

[idle moon]

pop bonemass, lingering stamina, head up to that door with a battering ram and get ready for some craziness

[azure zephyr]

And the hunt for players begins.

[hearty niche]

I'm stuck on my SP game because of this. 2 star Charred Warlock is camping my body. I might have to retreat to the Mistlands, built another set of gear, and try again.

[ebon siren]

it made it easier for me when all the charred just started walking out of the fort and into the lava where i could snipe them from a rock

but definitely like when ur in ashlands just carry a stonecutter and workbench everywhere with u

[round lichen]

make a plan and run in naked with full stamina and dip out. I had the same problem and this is what I did

[ebon siren]

thats exactly what speedrunners be doing and it works but its definitely not easy

[ornate sigil]

Or BRS might help. Body recovery squad. https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

[hearty niche]

Dude. This might be the way and the light. I had not considered this.

It's on my SP game so BRS isn't an option, good idea though

If I go that route, the family Meitbual has a long line of viking warriors that can step in.

[hearty niche]

Yeah the initial siege was actually easy enough. Frickin huge crowd of skeleton dudes but the silver sword makes quick work of them.

I rammed down the inner sanctum door and the warlock caught me by surprise.

[stuck wave]

I find that a lot, where they all gather at the door while you're breaking it down, so for me they usually flood out

[vapid hearth]

Alright, time to see if a silver shield can parry a fuling berserker. At least my Haldor portal is close enough anyway

Okay, it can
It very much can

[woeful yacht]

I was camped by a 2 star morgen

You got this 😄

[rain furnace]

I've spent many, many hours trying to recover gear in this game lol

[severe oyster]

Fenris set bonus movement speed with an Askvin cape works wonders when retrieving tombstones. Take what you can and run back to base, rinse and repeat.

Throw Eikthyr buff on top and you're good to go.

[ebon siren]

whats better, silver sword or mistwalker? i use frostner and magic lol

[jaunty grotto]

Opps, I spawned a Boss Stone in game, how do you remove it?

[azure yacht]

Mistwalker due to frost alone.

Silver sword deals more dmg, but frost effect alone outperforms the higher dmg

[ebon siren]

i have mistwalker but not fully upgraded

lvl 2 i think

[azure yacht]

It's worth maxing it out

[leaden magnet]

JFC

fallen valkyrie spawns right above mytamed askvin and kills them

thank god it only takes 30 minutes to tame more

[pliant hatch]

I should've known that purple charred spawner meant trouble.
Boy, that really gave me a scare.

And I still haven't figured out how to get to those Flametal spires. 😦

[azure yacht]

Just spent like an hour doing defensive works, using terrain to my advantage, placing walls and fortifications...

Just for the AI in this game being too dumb to even try to properly assault my base.

I really have no idea how can people feel the need to make moats and earth walls against an AI so basic...

Literally just building normally and trying to make proper fortifications is enough apparently

[light moat]

Yeah, I’ve never felt the need to use earthy walls, I’ve always been fine with wood and stone walls.

[hollow crag]

For some reason there are always a tons of silver ore drop on the ground after fighting moder anyone understand why is that?

[paper marsh]

Never experienced that

Although I would assume she could prob destroy some exposed silver

[hollow crag]

I see

[vapid hearth]

Third egg found
Underplatform portal prepared
Now I can take on moderfucker and then finally unlock the artisan table for blackmetal tier swag

[strange arrow]

motoring

[vapid hearth]

Motoring?

[ebon raven]

anyone wanna help me with some theorycrafting?
im playing on a dedicated with a few friends we are holding off on killing bosses til everyone is present at the same time.
currently we have killed the first boss and i was wondering everything thats possible before killing another boss

ive managed to get iron by catching giants herring and making a artificial pond at my base as catch and release still gives iron

[azure yacht]

This was against the greydwarf event, which might have been the "issue".

So I hope later raids can provide a bigger challenge, draugr/fuling rangeds might be more problematic at the very least in comparison to melee mobs.

I want to feel like I'm under siege ffs

[ebon raven]

the fortifications are more for your own enjoyment than anything else

[ebon raven]

thats cause modor attacks destroy terrain and reveals silver veins hes essentially a flying pickaxe

[hollow crag]

So I heard that you can go run a stack 50 wood build from the hammer, to coal using the staff of embers, does it work with the torch?

[hollow crag]

I see

[ebon raven]

sorry i mispoke a little its not exactly destroying the terrain but its destroying the silver beneach it, and it cant be underground so it pops up on the surface

[hollow crag]

Ahhh

Make sense

[vapid hearth]

Wooo, I forgot how easy Moder is

[fossil delta]

I think today was the easiest I have ever had it obtaining my first silver of a game. 2 nodes next to each other, steep, easy way down to take it all in one trip with a cart, didn't have to make a path out to the water for the cart, and just boat it home from there. Plus it was a quick trip, and even got 3 serpents on the way home.

[strange arrow]

okay Modering xD

[ebon raven]

i normally find a decently big mountain build a castle and pick the steepest side and place a longboat, once the boat is full i release it from the ramp and sail it down the mountainside

its quite fun like a rollercoaster but without rails and many backflips

you also wont die as long as the boat doesnt break

[strange arrow]

the way of the yeet

[fossil delta]

I doubt there is that much silver on this mtn. I was shocked it was big enough to have 2 caves. I've found 5 silver nodes so far.

[azure yacht]

Still wish it was more "functional".

So it doesn't just look aesthetically pleasing but also make you feel like you have an unassailable castle

[fossil delta]

Plus got a Moder location that isn't all that far away from home.

[ebon raven]

its more about protecting your crops than yourself

[strange arrow]

bench that shit to within an inch of its life xD

[azure yacht]

Also, there's been a weird issue regarding drops from destroyed resource nodes being misplaced after dropping.

Could be related to that. Silver veins are usually deep underground so even big mobs would struggle to hit them with their attacks

[strange arrow]

nothing can attack if it can't spawn

[hearty niche]

I've done that fight ... easil 10 times, maybe more, and have never seen that.

You're just gettin lucky

[ebon raven]

the longer the fight goes on the more common it is

[strange arrow]

her breath attacks likely are enough to penetrate ground and catch silver

i'm not sure of the level of pick damage they do

[ebon raven]

they can mine silver easily

[strange arrow]

log trolls can break silver, but golems can't

[ebon raven]

havent you seen what she does to the exposed boulders

[hollow crag]

The moder attack has like 2000 pick axe dmg last time I check

[fossil delta]

200

[hollow crag]

Ah yes 200

[vapid hearth]

...okay, what? How?

[ebon raven]

200 per hit

but the breath is multi hit

[cinder echo]

Do i have to be in range of my lox farm in the plains for them to reproduce? or can i go out and about and do other things

[ebon raven]

yes

[strange arrow]

Mooey/Winter explained it all to me, basically log trolls do more pick damage

[fossil delta]

Not sure how to read the wiki table, but the middle set has pick at 1,000

[hollow crag]

You can go out

[ebon raven]

they will only birth a lox calf when they are loaded

[cinder echo]

gotcha okay making sure theyre fed then going back to farming other stuff xD

[hollow crag]

In fact I think they won't breed if you are around, every time I stare at them waiting my asksvin to lay eggs they be like give us some privacy

[ebon raven]

no you have to be around

they will progress towards being an adult when you arent around

[hollow crag]

No you don't..? I been breeding wolfs, lox and all kind, and they always breed when I am out

[ebon raven]

but a lox calf needs you in the loaded area to be born

they can accumulate love points when you arent there but wont be born til they are loaded
