[fair cairn]

i throw downa unprotected portal in what ever biome i land in and hightail it away from the boat and portal

[fresh jasper]

It's frustrating when you are in the mountains for the first time with frost resist and all of your gear and a golem yeets you off a cliff :'D

[ebon raven]

thats life just make sure to have extra meads in your base

[fresh jasper]

I, in fact, did BUT on my rescue attempt a drake literally pushed me from the exact same spot and I died

Didn't want to play Valheim anymore on that day

[ebon raven]

when the game first came out me and my buddy got murdered in the mountain ran outta potions and had to enter the mountain by building camp fires every 5-10 meters to not die to the cold

[fresh jasper]

It's the only time I've seen a drake push a player, probably because it that aggroed to the golem nearby

[fresh jasper]

Yeah I remember thinking about that but the mountain was so steep that it would've been really difficult

To this day I always try to avoid golems on high mountains because of that little incident

[ember panther]

Hah I've been there too. Ran outta meads and gear for cold resist, made a trail of fire and eventually got it back

[pulsar mortar]

Jesus Christ, Ashlands spawners really need a tweak, in day we got so many 2 star mobs that it's unfun

[vocal rivet]

The idea is to destroy the spawners before that happens.

[pulsar mortar]

We did that and they still spawn

Fuck it, going easy mode

First base and then maybe we will switch it back

[vocal rivet]

Oh, the normal zone spawners? They're the same rate as every other biome. You'll get there.

[nocturne wolf]

If you need to, break the spawners with a bow so they don’t spawn anything

[brazen geode]

alo my house all time fire, i make camp fire and all time my house...

how can I protect it, I'm making it as before, I'm making a mistake somewhere

[livid widget]

WHat's with the creepy guy staring at me in the swamp. wtf is that?

[foggy glacier]

that's the allfather. Odin is a bit of a voyeur in the 10th realm.

[pliant hatch]

There is a new modifier introduced with the Ashlands update, which will set things ablaze if you don't contain the fire the right way.
Might check if you have that one enabled.

[livid widget]

He poofed

[brazen geode]

with what to initially protect against ignition, I have to have a fire if I want to sleep

[pliant hatch]

Sign out of the game, select your character, select your world, check the modifiers and turn off the fire hazard modifier.

From that point on fires won't set anything ablaze.

Once you got stone to build with you might consider to turn it on again.

[foggy glacier]

he does that when you get close, or if you try to shoot him.

[livid widget]

That's odin? Why all old and frail

[sleek beacon]

anyone playing as mage? what ratio of HP Stamina and Etir do you use ?

[paper marsh]

I like 2 eitr 1 stamina

and highly recommend (at least for Ashlands) going for a couple pieces of fenris (or even full ||askvin|| armor). Movement is key, much more than a tiny bit of eitr regen

[iron rain]

im just a girl getting claustrophobic in the mist lands trying to find a bug colony

[dapper token]

yea fog sucks

[iron rain]

just found my first gjall

[paper marsh]

Be sure to say "Hi Gjall"!

[dapper token]

whar...

[final swift]

fml fighting moder died came back an my body inventory gone ffs

[vapid hearth]

Boy does it feel so good seeing a hunt take place in the middle of a fuling camp
I love seeing the wolves and the fulings go at each other

[thin sonnet]

nah dm for hot gjall projectiles coming your way pew pew

[paper marsh]

even better with Tar nearby. 4 party fights are the best

[sleek beacon]

as a meele type I feel I can take mobs a bit easier than with Magic? am I feeling it right ? xD
i'm always running out of Etir and seem to need to be always kiting mobs
correct ?

[vocal vale]

Just a gal and her gjall

Ah I didn’t mean to ping with that

[merry pebble]

agreed, i am going fully melee and have basically no problems that wouldnt be caused by myself 😄

[sleek beacon]

my first run (pre ashlands) I was full melee. and it was not easy
doing another run now (to reach ashlands) and melee has been feeling easy so decided to try magic and learn how to play wit hit.
seems a good option in Ashlands... will see

[sudden zealot]

hey any mages here that can tell me what staff i'm supposed to use in ashlands? They all feel kinda low dmg compared to my melee friend who's also much tankier

[sleek beacon]

cold one I believe for most mobs
Fire one to attack forts from distance I believe

[sudden zealot]

hm i don't really know how i'm supposed to live with the frost one.. i gotta channel so long to kill anything some ranged mobs always hit me

[jaunty scarab]

Do animals get easier to control with higher riding skill? Or am I just really bad at it? The tool tip just says stam / speed but the handling is horrific. Or maybe its just me rip

[verbal radish]

I think one time i saw people said mount sprinting take less stamina

[sleek beacon]

you need to use the mouse to direct the lux and the keys jsut to move/stop and run

[vapid hearth]

Goddammit, died to Yagluth, and only because I forgot to drink some fire resistance wine after it ran out

[frail wagon]

ay do mountins spawn more often in the north is it JUST random?

[nocturne wolf]

No, mountains have the same chance to generate in any other direction

[vapid hearth]

Finally! Yagluth beated!

[regal spoke]

Grats

[onyx iron]

just curious but are the Midsummer items active again or not? Asking because my friend how played the game for the first time got the flower crown recipe and I didn't

[stuck crypt]

how often do stone golems spawn? Can you stop them from spawning somehow?

[vocal rivet]

You can spawn suppress them the same as any other mob, yeah.

[stuck crypt]

how? Placing benches?

[vocal rivet]

Actually today (if it's the 1st June already in your part of the world).

[verbal radish]

there is no stop for them unless you put some campfire , but i would farm them for their trophy which is the best looking one ...

[vocal rivet]

Any player base items.

[stuck crypt]

you mean placing structures down?

[vocal rivet]

Well yes. Specifically player base items.

[verbal radish]

I turn the ashland into the crafting station land....

[onyx iron]

We both have the same time zone it’s June 1st for both of us and he got it and I didn’t weird

[frail wagon]

i wish we could tame gecks but that wouldent be very helpful

[stuck crypt]

guys, is there any way to kill moder without endless stone golems spawning? I places workbenches all over the place, but they keep appearing

I'm playing on hardest difficulty and whenever i start killing moder a golem appears before i can get him 1/3th down. And on the highest difficulty killing moder and especially a stone golem takes me like 150 arrows

[rustic plume]

Guys, is there any specific conditions for Abominations to spawn or something? i've been trying to find one without luck, been on 6 different swamps and nothing.

[stuck crypt]

@rustic plume Maybe a difficulty thing? I'm on the highest difficulty and i'm rarely able to enter a swamp from my boat and not having one spawn on me immediately.

[strange arrow]

just random, look out for odd looking stumps

[rustic plume]

I do have it on very hard

[pliant hatch]

I dunno how you look for them, but there's a trick you can use to find them.

Aboms have a slightly different pattern green on the part that's sticking out on the surface; and those "stumps" always show something like mud falling off of it.

If you see something like that, simply shoot an arrow at it. If it's an abom, it'll come "alive" even if you're out of its own agro range.

[strange arrow]

dig a pit for the golems and trap them @stuck crypt

[pulsar stream]

Hello,

does anyone wants to start a game. I am bored playing by myself

[stuck crypt]

@strange arrow How do you get them to fall into the pit? They don't just walk into them.

Also, moder is already spawned on 2 locations on my world :p, can i get them to leave somehow?

[strange arrow]

cover it with floorboards and break them with the hammer

[stuck crypt]

alright, i was thinking about doing that, but i don't think that's possible when moder is bombarding me

[strange arrow]

and unfortunately Moder will stick around once summoned

yeh ideally a task for before that xD

[stuck crypt]

hmm crap. any idea howmany moder spawn locations a world has? Cause i've already spawned him in 2 spots.

I had to leave the first spot because there simply was no 'fight' area. It was sheer cliff with a golem chasing me off of it the entire time

[strange arrow]

you may be able to draw the golems away if they aren't too close to her

[strange arrow]

3

[stuck crypt]

one more chance then :p...

[strange arrow]

(Moder literally means mother)

[pliant hatch]

I dunno if you're able to load an old save of your world before you spawned her a 2nd time?
But if you can, that's an option too.
Another one - but considered in a way as cheating - is to kill all spawns off with devcommands, remove all drops with devcommands, prepare the area, spawn the eggs and do the summoning again.

[strange arrow]

not that it shouldn't be do-able anyway, i somehow managed to defeat 2 of her 2 golems, wolves and drakes on x4 scaling xD

was on "normal" difficulty, so i get that the golems were parryable whereas yours may not be

[rustic plume]

Yeah, I know that, but none of themn have ever showed up

[merry sun]

first death in nightmare mode

[pliant hatch]

Killed by what?

[strange arrow]

greyling assassin

[merry sun]

Log troll

at least im still at the bronze age

[glass parrot]

Is hildir’s quest worth it?

[pliant hatch]

imho the boss trophies and the challenge are.
The items she unlocks once you return those chests aren't really worth it.
Fire pit is useful, sparklers and fireworks are fun, but that's about it.
The clothing is good for the colectionists among us, as the stamina reduction it offers is only useful for building and / or farming at your own base.

[glass parrot]

I’ll probably do it for the boss trophies and it’s something to do. I am a bit overpowered so it should be amusing to see how much damage I do to them

[obsidian pasture]

why tf my server lag so much in ashlands

i got 3 people it says its only using 2/4 gigs of ram

[vale river]

can you over level skills with gear? ex: lvl 100 archery + root set (+15) = 115 archery?

[verbal radish]

No

[cinder echo]

training magic is so painfully slow 😦 esp pre ashlands

[unkempt marten]

is it just me but magic fells a bit weak in ashlands but obliterate everywhere else?

like compare to what damage people do with melee weapons even shotgun seems underwhelming

or meybe there is a big dmg increase with elemental skill progression i have not reached yet (45)

[gilded shell]

any tips on bone mass solo?

[paper marsh]

Magic is OP in Ashlands. But yea the dps potential for a lot of things might not be as high as melee, magic is just a lot safer / doesn’t require as much skill

[paper marsh]

Iron mace and poison mead and you can’t go wrong. Health and stamina meads if you feel like you need it. Two health foods 1 stamina food

[nova sphinx]

1. you can snipe him from a tree, but its slow, and will probably break your bow.
2. hes big, you can abuse that to force him to give you time to recover from things.
3. they have similar weaknesses to blobs, take that as you will.

Personally though, I just anti-poison and sword the mass to death.

[paper marsh]

If you’re wanting to cheese standing on the middle skull with a stag breaker is gonna be a lot better than a bow

[gilded shell]

thank you!

[gilded shell]

what kind of sword?

[nova sphinx]

just a t1 iron will do.

if you really want to guarantee a bonemass completion, just throw a bed on top of the skull, there is a level where you can place a platform that will allow you to hit the mass, while the platform is unable to be destroyed. from there, just smack him with wood clubs if you're really desperate.

corpse run should give you enough regeneration to keep yourself alive.

[viscid tangle]

So what're the main valheim weapons? Clubs, Swords, and Spears?

[ebon raven]

axe sword spear dagger bow club ategir magic crossbows the list goes on

[viscid tangle]

So if we're done the 2nd boss what should we get for main weapons?

[ebon raven]

elder should be taken on with bows and fire arrows

if you dont wanna use the bow for him go with a sword

[viscid tangle]

Yea we beat the deer and elder

[ebon raven]

so you mean the third boss then

[viscid tangle]

Oh wait we haven't fought elder YET but we got the seeds, we gotta find his alter

Do you think me and my friend should rock one sword and one mace or both sword

[ebon raven]

yea preapair a finewood bow and upgrade it

id both take a sword and a bow and use the sword when your health is full and your healing mead is available

when your health gets low enough to need to use the healing mead back off and use fire arrows with a bow

once your mead is off cooldown and your health is full you can go back into close range with the swords

the mace will do very little damage to elder he's not weak to it

the third boss bonemass is very weak to blunt damage so after you beat elder and get onto the iron tier make a couple of iron maces for him

[viscid tangle]

Oh I see, so each weapon has its ups and downs depending on the enemy

[ebon raven]

exactly

theres 3 main damage types Pierce, slash, blunt

theres also special damage types such as fire poison spirit ect

[viscid tangle]

We may end up doing him on sword me on blunt

And both of us have bows

[ebon raven]

do not do blunt on elder he is resistant to it

so your damage will be halved using a blunt weapon on him

he is neutral to pierce and weak to fire and slash

[viscid tangle]

Yea I can use a bow

[ebon raven]

pair it with fire arrows and your damage will be good

[viscid tangle]

And there's how many major bosses ingmae

[ebon raven]

every biome aside from deep north and ocean have a boss

[viscid tangle]

||Eikthyr; No weaknesses, but also no resistances. Elder; Weak to fire but immune to poison Bonemass; Weak to blunt, frost, and spirit, resists fire and pierce, immune to poison Moder; Weak to fire, immune to frost Yagluth; Weak to spirit, resists fire and pierce, immune to poison The Queen; resists pierce, no weaknesses.||

Are these all the bosses?

[nova sphinx]

no
e: theres one more

[strange arrow]

there's a 7th now

[ebon raven]

a new boss was added with the ashland update

[viscid tangle]

What's their weakness?

[ebon raven]

he has no weakness

[viscid tangle]

Oh just like the first one

[strange arrow]

skilled players

[nova sphinx]

Personally, I just sword anything I can. even bonemass and moder. I may eventually do weapon specific playthroughs though.

[ebon raven]

hes resistant to pierce and immune to fire and spirit

[viscid tangle]

What's the new bosses name

[ebon raven]

fader

[strange arrow]

(father)

[dapper token]

fader, meaning father

[nova sphinx]

odd that its immune to spirit.

[viscid tangle]

Ok cool tyvm

[ebon raven]

using a weapon that a boss or mob is weak to does so much more damage than not matching its kinda insane

[viscid tangle]

Wait it says here that there's no resistance for elder

except poison but slash/blunt would be neutral

[ebon raven]

he's very weak to fire

the main use for blunt damage is for stagger which he is also immune to

[viscid tangle]

Yeah ofc, but it doesn't say he has weapon weaknesses. Can you verify all that info is correct?

[strange arrow]

it is

[ebon raven]

my bad i misremembered i could of sworn he was weak to slash and reistant to pierce and blunt previously

[strange arrow]

neutral is the best you can hope for with most bosses

[nova sphinx]

i should test sword bug vs mace against bonemass. (both t1 iron, both lvl 100 skill)

[viscid tangle]

Got ya, tyvm

[ebon raven]

bonemass is weak to both blunt and frost, but you would need to venture into the mountain to get frost arrows which isnt worth it for him

[gilded shell]

i died

[nova sphinx]

Honestly, I would do it.

[gilded shell]

so easy, he was taking NO DAMAGE lol. so so sad.

[ebon raven]

what killed you?

[gilded shell]

a bunch of ooze and skeletons lol.

[nova sphinx]

if you were taking punches, or having to deal with minions, thats a major pain.

[gilded shell]

body on body on body lol.

[ebon raven]

oh you were doing bonemass?

[gilded shell]

lol yes... 😦

[ebon raven]

did you bring a mace?

[gilded shell]

yeahg

[ebon raven]

and poison resistance mead

and root armor helps also

[nova sphinx]

root is anti pierce, it wont stack with antipoison iirc.

[strange arrow]

get those turnips on the go and then you can make better food if you didn't already 🙂

[ebon raven]

it has anti poison on it too its good for when the mead runs out

[strange arrow]

realistically 1 stack of meads (60mins total poison res) per player should be enough to finish the swamp, but 2 batches isn't even that harsh on resources, better to be over prepared in this case especially

[ebon raven]

its more for the moment it runs out so you dont take a ton of poison damage if you need a second or two to drink the next mead

[strange arrow]

not being able to drink the next one until the previous one runs out is annoying and limiting, but at least it ensures we get full benefit

[ebon raven]

its that bried moment between one running out and drinking the next most people die

[nova sphinx]

with proper setup and damage avoidance, it shouldnt be an issue, but for those who aren't confident, it might be a useful failsafe.

[ebon raven]

its also good for the journey to the boss

and its better than troll and not as slow as iron

[strange arrow]

jumping on his altar should get you enough breathing room to down a fresh mead without dying

[ebon raven]

people panic too easily

giving the least points to mess up is useful

[strange arrow]

yeh you just have to be away from his big stink cloud at that point whatever

[viscid tangle]

What's the best weapon pairing with a shield?

I got a bone tower shield, I was thinking of adding a bronze mace to it

[strange arrow]

oof tower shield

[ebon raven]

dont use the tower shields unless you are bad at the parry

[strange arrow]

switch to a bronze/iron buckler asap xD

[viscid tangle]

Well I just block and get aggro while my friend bows lol

But I'm wondering what to pair with my bone tower shield

[ebon raven]

a bronze buckler if you block right before the attack hits you parry and the mob gets stunned and takes more damage

[viscid tangle]

But what primary weapon should I use

[ebon raven]

id use the mace

[strange arrow]

for swamp mace is great

[viscid tangle]

bronze mace, atgeir, bronze sword?

[ebon raven]

that way you can get your mace skill up while before you need it for bonemass

[viscid tangle]

Yeah that's what I think I'll do since my friend is gonna use sword

[ebon raven]

what armor are you wearing?

and what food you using

[viscid tangle]

the blue giant stuff?

[ebon raven]

trollhide

[viscid tangle]

And food it depends, I got access to neck, boar, and deer meat, and honey, blueberries, and yellow shrooms

[ebon raven]

have you upgraded it at all? its worth doing

[viscid tangle]

Not yet

[strange arrow]

sword really comes into it's own in mountains, plains and on, but if you make frostner that will also help you for a long period as well, so you can have good blunt and slash going forward

[ebon raven]

your first priotity should be finding some carrot seeds in the black forest so you can start farming carrots

[strange arrow]

as well as the nice slow effect from frostner

[ebon raven]

you need a little bronze to make the cultivator and one you have that you can make carrot soup and deer stew which is much better

[viscid tangle]

Why do I need a shield if I can parry with an axe?

[lunar sapphire]

So Ditto can live longer

[ebon raven]

the block force is the amount of damage your block can defend against and parry

[viscid tangle]

Ah so it's better to parry with a shield

[strange arrow]

Ditto is using T1 food in a T3 area, Ditto should get better food xD

[ebon raven]

and the bucker increases the parry damage even more

[strange arrow]

all about that xbonus on parry

[ebon raven]

hes working towards killing elder

[viscid tangle]

Yeah we're new to this game

[ebon raven]

its t1 food in a t2 area not that bad

[strange arrow]

the food is vital to yr overall survival

[ebon raven]

if you are brave and know a close by swamp its even worth looking for turnip seeds and getting them a bit early

just dont go there during the night

[strange arrow]

i'm just kidding around but so many new players find it unnecessarily difficult just becoz they didn't unlock the better food options

we see it time and again

[ebon raven]

i started a new world for ashlands and started again and im waiting on my whole group to be present for the bosses

[viscid tangle]

What're the benefits of a tower shield

[ebon raven]

it has more block force than a normal shields block

but when you parry you block force is increased beyond what a tower shield can block

[solid patio]

Negative is no parry

[strange arrow]

you can hold damage more, but it also slows you by 10%

[viscid tangle]

but positive?

[ebon raven]

and a tower shield cant parry

if you are just blocking its superior to a standard shield

but if you are parrying with standard versus blocking with tower it doesnt hold up

[strange arrow]

it's great if you want to be a meatshield, with everyone keeping bubble on you and such, but for solo play it's gonna slow you to a crawl

[viscid tangle]

Got ya, cause I prefer blocking especially in large crowds

[viscid tangle]

That's basically me with my friend, I just hold shield while he bows

[strange arrow]

fair

[ebon raven]

the normal shield is still better for that cause if you parry it he will do more damage

[strange arrow]

later on though the mobs will blast through even the heavy shields a lot more easily

and parry is just godly

[ebon raven]

the parry timing is very generous btw

[strange arrow]

for example you come up against a golem with pierce res, yr gonna be fighting it for an hour xD, but if you parry it and you and yr friend keep up high dps and keep it staggered, you can down it in seconds

[ebon raven]

golems are also weak to blunt

so a parry on a golem then a few mace hits melt it

[strange arrow]

trolls aboms wraiths golems all big hard hitters that parry just makes light of

the bigger draugr variants too

[ebon raven]

root armor is my goto right up to plains

[nova sphinx]

most minis will be obliterated by parry into sword or mace, it doesnt really matter which one if you know how to use it well. I know maces can 0cycle a golem, i just dont know if swords have the dph to 0cycle, but both will easily 1cycle if done right.

[ebon raven]

its good in plains against deathsquito but the flame wielding furling and shamans can burn you to death

its good for mountains too but the cultists can be a pain

[nova sphinx]

until fire resist yeah. apparently fire resist just overrides it.

[ebon raven]

you can drink a fire resist mead with it and be fine but at that point you may as well make padded

padded is kinda needed for early mistlands

another tip when you are doing your swamp exploration is get like 5 times the amount of iron you think you will need

[nova sphinx]

some say the cp is useful, but I usually dont bother.

[ebon raven]

cp?

[nova sphinx]

chestplate.

[ebon raven]

which one ?

[nova sphinx]

root

[ebon raven]

the set gives +15 to bows pierce resist and fire weakness

so its very good in general but padded has double the defence per piece when upgraded fully

[gilded shell]

that's such hell...

[nova sphinx]

cp is pierce resist, set is bows, helm is antipoison

[gilded shell]

still havent killed him btw lol. it's a tough one. but he's manageable to run away from. poison res. helps alot .

[nova sphinx]

all pieces are fire weakness, but its easily overridden.

[ebon raven]

fire is only a problem in plains and the cultists in the mountains

so its not much of a problem as by the time you get to plains you can make padded pretty easily

[nova sphinx]

gjalls if you dont know how to orbit.

[ebon raven]

i wouldnt bring root to mistlands you switch it for padded in the plains

[nova sphinx]

If I had a character/world to test this on, I'd totally do it. reckless? maybe.

Unfortunately, I'm trying not to mess up my main char/worlds with tests.

[ebon raven]

seekers and ticks do pierce damage also

[gilded shell]

which one of you want to help me really quick defeat bonemass.

[ebon raven]

so i guess it would be test it with a fire barley versus gjall seekers and ticks versus just padded

[gilded shell]

how do you get close to him without letting him hit you? lol. i just can't do it, i suckkkkk.

[nova sphinx]

I just dodge the punches.

[ebon raven]

you dont just run up and smash the shit out of him with the mace

and retreat to heal when needed

[gilded shell]

lol, i know that lol. but how do i roll again?

[nova sphinx]

block + jump

[ebon raven]

on controller its block and jump at the same time

[nova sphinx]

works for pc too. I vaguely remember there was another input combo, but I haven't used it in ages.

[ebon raven]

i almost never roll

jump is usually better anyway

[nova sphinx]

? stabroll (oh wait al update removed the feature)

[gilded shell]

i just trolled the HELL out of bonemass.

i hoed the ground underneath a HUGE branch... and he stopped moving and i hit him a thousand times lo,.

that's one way to do it i guess. lol.

[nova sphinx]

I usually build some sort of barrier that mass can't fit through, and retreat behind it when I need to regen, but if you accidentally broke his ai, good for you.

[gilded shell]

lol.. i really did lol. but yeah, i'll take it. might do it again if i can lo,

[slim remnant]

did anyone else think the ashlands jade weapons gave you immobilization instead of the target or am i just dumb lol

[tacit crown]

How can you fight for odin if you have no honor 😔

[tacit crown]

Haha, I think that's just you mate

[slim remnant]

dude i was sitting here for days like "who on earth is actually gonna use these weapons??" i was genuinely confused on why the devs would do that lol

once i figured it out tho i went and remade most of my weapons with jade

[magic ferry]

is there some event going on? why can I build maypoles now

couldn't before, or is it just cuz of june

[shy marlin]

It's summer time

[magic ferry]

Ooohhhhh okay

[sweet jewel]

Har har! Just about to burn log stacks to make coal and it starts raining hard! Dark grey windy style in 2 seconds extinguishing the fire outside i was about to use! 🤣 That's Valheim for you! Haha

Oh sick i just saw Thor fly by my base in a flash of mega lightning! I love that. When you see either Odin or Thor!

[frail wagon]

trying to build a support pillar for a dock is so hard man

[surreal willow]

Facts.

[frail wagon]

what if you wanted to build a big dock

but god said
(Red stablity)

[surreal willow]

I would tell god to f*ck off and forcefully beat my head into metal wood beams.

Eventually, something less red than my brain matter will form a stable structure.

[runic quail]

yo im new to the game looking for some nice people to play with, im from EU

[teal tiger]

Happy Midsummer

The Maypole and Crown are craftable!

[merry pebble]

Give #1024264966712340510 a look 🙂

[blissful bronze]

anyone wanna start a play through

[plush umbra]

does a raid go away or pause when I leave the world?

[teal tiger]

Pauses

[plush umbra]

thx

[undone trellis]

BTW thanks for the advice, and I just wanted to say -
I'm usually not that enthused about level grinding in Valheim but I'm surprised at how easy it is to level Bows like that 👍

• Find a wild Lox
• Pillar up with a Hoe x5 (4 isn't enough b/c their AoE stomp; even 5 can be insufficient if you aggro more than one Lox, but 5 is already plenty difficult to climb back atop yourself)
• Then just spam-click with a crude bow and wooden arrows (pausing when it goes circling around)

In about 75 minutes of doing this (including time running back to craft more arrows a handful of times) I went from level 27 to 61

[ebon raven]

you're welcome

[undone trellis]

Bonus: you will (slowly) get more meat for Lox meat pies 😋

[merry pebble]

Btw, you can do basically the same thing with bonemass 😉

[ebon raven]

about the other lost skills the weapon skills are just murder alot but if you want to regain your block skill eat 3 stamina foods find a greydwarf nest dig a tiny bit so you dont move when you block and just sit there blocking

make sure you get just far enough from nest to spawn more than 3 tho

[undone trellis]

Well, I have a Lox meat shortage, and I already have a Wishbone, soooo 😜
But yes I do remember that Bonemass can't do anything to you if you pillar up enough and pelt him with arrows
I also thought about just fighting Moder a few times, but... You gotta fully draw to hit her most of the time, so it'd be way slower. Although I could use more tears by now, tbh...

[merry pebble]

Bonemass Is nice since hebir very resistant to pierce so you don't have ho looking for other enemies to shoot, but yeah if you want lox meat then why not 😄

[undone trellis]

I killed about 5 Lox (Loxes? Loxen?) in those ~75 minutes, out of two packs of 3, so I didn't even spend much time running around looking for them

[plush umbra]

so xp doesnt correlate to damage dealt?

[undone trellis]

it does

[ebon raven]

you get xp when you deal damage

Bows +141% damage and knockback, -33% stamina usage, -80% draw time 1.5 per arrow when hitting a creature

[undone trellis]

damage increases with level

but if you're spam-clicking the Bow, you're always doing minimal damage, which even after gaining all those levels I think it only increased my damage by less than one point

each shot went from ~1.2 damage to ~1.8, if I were to guesstimate it

[half dragon]

Pretty sure the question is, do you get more xp for dealing more damage.

[ebon raven]

the main benefit to raising bow skill is the stamina and drawtime

[half dragon]

rather than doing near 0 damage and just spam

[undone trellis]

THAT answer is "no"

[plush umbra]

im gonna test this now

[ebon raven]

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

[undone trellis]

I can just check the code real quick

(yes I edit the wiki)

[ebon raven]

handy table shows how xp works for all skills and the benefits gained

[half dragon]

imo, that is a little bit stupid mechanic, to not take into account damage you deal... basically a punishment for being good at the game (such parrying and hitting staggered enemies)

or for using a weapon that does more damage and hits slower...

[plush umbra]

also theoretically slows down xp gain the further you progress

[ebon raven]

i dont think it works anymore but on release the best way to level weapon skills was to hit a rock with them

[half dragon]

pretty sure it still works, but the target needs to be alive

[undone trellis]

yeah, Hearth and Home fixed that

[half dragon]

doesn't work with many weapons tho...

[undone trellis]

I checked the code and I'm like 95% sure that XP gain does not depend on damage dealt

[ebon raven]

they reworked xp to be when creatures are hit it just used to be damage so any damage number a 0 included gave xp before

[undone trellis]

yeah, it's basically just "gain a fixed amount of XP when your attack hits something" which generally is limited to living things except for e.g. Pickaxe or Wood Cutting

[half dragon]

does a multi hit weapon give xp for all of the creatures you hit, or does it give only the same amount you'd get for hitting 1 creature?

[ebon raven]

every damage number is 1.5 xp

[undone trellis]

XP for each creature hit

[half dragon]

really wish any of the magic single target weapons that do multiple hits were any good in ashland...

lightning shotty still good in very specific situations, but... just why?

[undone trellis]

I had someone very angrily defending the Dundr to me in a different channel last night, but when I first tried it yesterday I was unimpressed... maybe I need to try it more for crowd control specifically

[half dragon]

both staff of ice and growth are far better at that...

[undone trellis]

it's 12 x ~20(?) Lightning damage IIRC

[half dragon]

on paper, yes... but even at point blank range it's really damn hard to have all of the projectiles hit a target

[undone trellis]

the Staff of the Wilds seems to be the way to go in the Ashlands but it's still honestly kinda unimpressive - good, yes, but not exactly amazing

and the others suck or are situational

[undone trellis]

yeah it took me three close-range hits to kill a single Volture... like, cmon man

[plush umbra]

staff of the wild i would appreciate a lot more if it actually got you any xp on attack

[half dragon]

staff of wild is working really well for me tho. They destroy all the high HP targets very quickly compared to other staves

and even with a crowd still works fine

just need to be careful with how you move around them and where you place those roots. With crowd I noticed spreading them out works the best, with high HP targets tighter cluster

[undone trellis]

This - I think it can kinda suck in some situations but it's really effective at taking down Morgens in particular

I've had very mixed results with using it on Valkyries, though - they seem to fly around too much

[plush umbra]

can also help with passively dealing with extra spawner spawns in the distance or some archers

[half dragon]

but for taking out a single low HP target... for that it sucks

[undone trellis]

especially Warriors, who tend to march right past them so that you have to kite them back into the roots' range

[ebon raven]

i think the conventional weapons are better for ashlands and use the buff and summon magic for support or not at all

[half dragon]

a bit annoying how often still have to go out of my way to kill the summon afterwards lol

[undone trellis]

as I was saying yesterday here - it truly sucks that unlike the Mistlands, it's just not really feasible to play Ashlands solo as a mage

[ebon raven]

it can be viable but the way you play needs to comprimise for it

[undone trellis]

you get one new goodish weapon, two situational kinda-useful weapons, and one piece of crap that's worse than the Mistlands ones (looks disappointedly at Staff of Fracturing)

[half dragon]

It's much slower, but being mage has worked out great for me. Mage in ashland is really good at staying alive, but until you get staff of wild damage output sucks...

[undone trellis]

and the new armor adds some Eitr regen (nice) but otherwise just does not provide enough defense for the biome

[half dragon]

As long as you've got shield armor doesn't matter much.

still better to be able to tank at least 1 or 2 hits when it's not on

[ebon raven]

i would go with the non mage armor for ashlands

[half dragon]

found out the hard way that you get 1 shot by angy dvergrs after you accidentally hit one with staff of wild...

[ebon raven]

the magic is cool sure but the melee plays nicer

[nocturne wolf]

I don't use magic because I die a lot more with it

[undone trellis]

^ basically this

I might try running a hybrid setup with Carapace armor (yes, yes, I'm still Flametal-poor) and like one Eitr food - there's just so dang many enemies at all times in Ashlands that the extra Defense matters a whole lot

[ebon raven]

i think the most important thing for ashlands is playing to any weakness

[half dragon]

I've died in ashlands 2 times total. First time to big birb because ran out of stamina at a bad time. 2nd time got backstabbed by a dvergr

[ebon raven]

like the valkrie are asking to be sniped with the spinesnap

[undone trellis]

I've probably died 20+ times in Ashlands by now, in 20-30 hours of playing there

[ebon raven]

i think switching to the hi defence armor bring bonemass will help alot with that

[undone trellis]

I've run more Melee than Mage, and probably died more as Melee than as Mage as well
with Carapace armor, Mistwalker + Carapace shield, all 3 lingerings, Tasty and Major health meads on standby, Bonemass, and Fiery svinstew / Spicy marmalade / Fish and bread[or similar] (though I just got access to the best Ashlands foods so I can improve there going forward)

(* ETA: also Bonemass)

[half dragon]

what's the most annoying thing about ashlands tho... is how hard it is to mass produce the new food that requires new plants other than vineberry. idk if I'm unlucky, but it takes so much damn effort to gather just a little bit of them

[undone trellis]

in terms of progression, I have all the new Mage stuff (though definitely not at max qualities yet), the new crafting station upgrades, and that's about it
next thing I'ma do, after raising Bows skill some more and maybe also Blocking, is definitely gonna be to finally go mine some Flametal ore veins - apparently if you learn the method (and it's not that hard), you can almost 100% mine them if done correctly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uxFxpTgaRg (not a plug, just a random YT vid I found that explained it, "The Best Way To Farm Flametal In Valheim Ashlands Update")

[undone trellis]

I really need to investigate what the chances are for Fiddleheads to spawn b/c I found a couple ruins chock full of them and others with losta ferns but with about zero Fiddlehead spawns

as for the Smoke puffs - I actually have found those to be super duper EZ to find
they're like Mushrooms, just mark them on your map whenever you find them and come back every 4 hours (that's how often they respawn, in the exact same places)
also check atop rock formations, they like to spawn up there - and when the rocks eventually get destroyed, they'll spawn in the exact same places just atop the ground below instead

it helps that they glow 24/7

[half dragon]

but unlike mushrooms, you just can't ignore all the enemies around you and just run from mushroom to mushroom

[undone trellis]

ayup

the eternal problem: too da** many enemies in the Ashlands
(my solution: lay down campfires along well-travelled paths to protect them from enemy spawns - enemies WILL still wander in from very far away but it helps for foraging a lot, even if it is annoying to do and also Dumb because it's cheesing)

[half dragon]

I think better solution for not making it too easy to get new plants, but not too time consuming would be adding specific locations where you can farm these plants but nowhere else, and also make enemies more likely to spawn around that location

[undone trellis]

why they decided to make all the new food recipes require foraging, but ALSO to make it impossible to W-key, is a great mystery

[undone trellis]

good looooord I so wish you could farm them
really really really really wanna be able to do that

like... maybe make the seeds hard to get (only available inside the chest in the Charred Fortress towers or something) but still possible at least, c'mon

or else what you said:
You know those areas of black soil in the Mistlands?

Where there's no natural Mist?
Have there be something kinda like that but less common - large but rather rare patches of fertile soil where the Ashlands-specific crops can only grow

[half dragon]

yup

[azure yacht]

By direct projectile hit or from the vine attacks?

[half dragon]

at least vineberry is really fun plant to farm

[undone trellis]

too late now, the biome's out

[undone trellis]

I've not had the greatest success with farming them yet, but they do take 3 hours and 20 minutes to respawn berries so maybe it's not surprising

plus I just haven't built a very large farm for them yet because that would require clearing space and I've honestly just found hella Vineberry ruins in the Ashlands

[half dragon]

I shot myself in the foot by building the farms with ashwood, it's the only thing slowing down the expansion of my vineyard

but at least it looks good...

[azure yacht]

Deep North seems like the perfect place to introduce green house mechanics

[undone trellis]

lol
I have mine up and running just fine on the new Ashwood fancypants treslli-looking wall

[azure yacht]

The need to protect crops from the cold/biome and the fact that vineberries exist (crops that only need to be planted once)

[undone trellis]

fun fact about that
as I already found in the code and put on the wiki,

they've already added the ability for crops to resist "cold"
meaning if they don't, then they require a Shield generator to be active in order to grow in the Mountains or - you guessed it - the Deep North

(the opposite also exists - Vineberries resist heat so can be planted in the Ashlands without a Shield generator)

(the only Cold-resistant crop so far is... Fir trees.)

[half dragon]

This is the design I went with. The rows have 4m spacing between them.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202267437647527977/1244377651565690953/image.png?ex=665c24bf&is=665ad33f&hm=df03bd8ba1a170bd1874ee5e47676154dec79f1dbf0bfba29f902dafda8497bd&

wait why it didn't link to the post here on discord...?

[azure yacht]

I suppose it makes sense but only needing the shield generator for farms in DN to work seem slightly underwhelming.

But it's probably also the simplest way rather than trying to implement a completely new mechanic

I still hope they do implement it

[half dragon]

ops copied wrong link...

#screenshots message

[azure yacht]

But between greenhouse mechanics and forever crops, I would be glad if we only get the latter

[undone trellis]

We MUST keep in mind that they haven't truly started work on that biome yet
so
things might well change between now and then

[azure yacht]

That's true

[half dragon]

At this point I'm expecting there to be some kind of hazards or enemis that kind of force you to use the shield generator there as well

[azure yacht]

But it's kinda sad that they introduce some stuff but leave it in the files without any use in normal gameplay

[undone trellis]

remember that the Shield generator didn't exist before the Ashlands update - and thus you could grow Onions in the Mountains back then just fine

[azure yacht]

Like the iron ore, it's in there somewhere, and it's also smeltable, but can't be collected outside of devcommands

[north pendant]

I think they probably need more balancing/performence fix for ashlands before they can actually work for DN.

[half dragon]

oh ashland has better performance for me than Mistlands...

[azure yacht]

You can't grow onions in mountains now?

I didn't even know they could grow at all in mountains

[undone trellis]

the game's still in development - such is the nature of things

[half dragon]

so a bit doubtful of getting any performance update for it when mistland still has that problem

[north pendant]

mine is opposite lol

[undone trellis]

You used to be able to just plop them down
Now they no longer support that biome at all

[hollow peak]

is something wrong with the boars since Ashlands update? made a new world, to start over, and i captured a boar. and instead of chilling, hes desperately trying to get back to his spawnpoint, sprinting all over the place

[undone trellis]

wrongo
you get Iron ore from Fishing

[azure yacht]

Oh, so that does seem like the way to go.

Also, I thought shield only protected from cinder rains and rain, didn't know about the biome's hazard.

[undone trellis]

and I discovered today that you get Scrap Bronze from the Charred Fortresses
so that's no longer commands-only either

[azure yacht]

But, couldn't you still be cold while in mountain? I thought reading more than one people reporting that

[azure yacht]

Iron ore or scrap iron?

[undone trellis]

probably? IDK if it protects from status effects or not

[north pendant]

I think it also protect projectile demage.

[undone trellis]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Iron_ore
check it!
and Smiffe confirmed to me that that is intended behavior

[azure yacht]

Yeah but not like there are many ranged enemies that make you go "I need protection from this guys ASAP"

[azure yacht]

Well, it seems like they did give it a use after all...

[undone trellis]

see also: this is now obtainable, as I just mentioned: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Scrap_bronze

I'ma petition to get it some new artwork though b/c that's just the same sprite as Copper Scrap

[pulsar osprey]

quick questions guys.

how do i hide the ui again? to have that camera mode style

[undone trellis]

FUN FACT:
Each Charred Fortress has 78 bronze spike strips
Destroying them all (with e.g. a Battering ram) yields an average of 273 scrap bronze

[undone trellis]

I think it was Ctrl + F3?

[pulsar osprey]

okay okay

[half dragon]

holy shit... now if only my battering ram learned to fly and not leave stuff floating

[pulsar osprey]

got it, thanks

[azure yacht]

This I did notice when assaulting fortresses, but it was added later. Early PTB didn't have it

[undone trellis]

the wall segments DO have support!
just knock out enough of the lower segments and it'll all come tumbling down~

or so it seems in the code, anyways
...please tell me it actually works that way...

[azure yacht]

Also TIL iron veins do exist, now if they only added them as hidden, underground deposits in the world

[half dragon]

I destroyed the whole lower segment of a tower at the center and it just keeps floating

there's nothing left to hit

[undone trellis]

hm. I'll have to check on this further. thx

either way - technically Catapults also work, with the explosive charges
but like........ they also suck......... so

[half dragon]

really hope they add a way to dismantle conquered forts more easily

I do not plan to repurpose all of them for an outpost

[azure yacht]

Only decent use I've got from catapults is they can destroy the inside spawners more safely

[undone trellis]

my thinking is to keep like one to maaaaaybe build inside, and the rest can go to crap lol

[half dragon]

I use them for fast traveling in ashland. planning to make a fortress portal network

[azure yacht]

The only problem with that strategy is that you have 0 clue on whether you're hitting something or not. Even a visual explosion when a spawner is destroyed would be acceptable

[plush umbra]

only success with the catapult ive had was hitting the walls and nothing else

[azure yacht]

Also the grausten ammo is completely useless, it literally deals 20 blunt damage only...

I refuse to believe that is anything else other than a huge oversight

They must've intended to add another 0 but missed

[undone trellis]

sounds like a good idea for #suggestions 🤔

[half dragon]

Who needs a catapul when you can just keep summing trolls to troll the fort

[azure yacht]

Considering it seems more like a bug and not a feature, I've refused to put it in suggestions

[undone trellis]

even better

[azure yacht]

If I do get confirmation that is intended (for some reason), I will suggest it

Explosive ammo deals +550 damage.

The fact that grausten deals only 20 is very, very wrong. I hope they notice. I posted it in #steam-bugs-discussion (despite not being exactly a bug)

[hollow crag]

20 damage for an Ashland build that requires flamemetal!???

Even the worse bolt on the cross bow does more, not even cross bow, wooden arrow does more then 20

[azure yacht]

Which is why I very strongly believe it's an oversight, it has to

[half dragon]

Nah it's just a friendly warning shot 😂

[tiny tiger]

Grausten is described as a porous rock

I imagine it’s not very heavy compared to stone or black marble and if it has the same weight as the explosive ammo it’s function is meant to be to be used to estimate the distance fired for accuracy @azure yacht

[azure yacht]

That still seems very underwhelming...

[pastel latch]

still makes zero sense for it to do 20 damage even with that

if they wanted to make test ammunition they couldve made one out of a cluster of resin

[azure yacht]

Also, grausten ammo reaches a higher range than explosive ammo so on that regard it doesn't perfectly works as a way to measure distance because it can be misleading.

Grausten ammo has 10-20% more range than explosive ammo

And it's also a lot more accurate

[tiny tiger]

How common is resin in the Ashland’s biome?

[azure yacht]

On another note, I just discovered that stone portal has the exact same resistances as the wood portal.

I will assume that's an oversight as well

Stone is supposed to be weak to pickaxe damage, and yet hitting it with a pickaxe shows grey numbers

[pastel latch]

as if you dont have a large spare supply of resin by that point in the game

[empty abyss]

Please add guns

[tiny tiger]

Considering the amount of time they spent on the Ashland’s biome I can’t imagine it wasn’t done on purpose

Plus having it go past the fortress with you knowing it goes further still indicates to you that that means the explosive payload will most likely hit inside

it still serves as a reference

[silk rivet]

Boars always did that, the first ones you tamed will keep trying to get back to their spawn. Put them close together in a pen so they breed, offspring won't run anymore. Kill running parents, peace restored.

[azure yacht]

Fair...

But still can't forgive the damage

It's definitely an oversight, I hope they fix it in the future

[finite lodge]

how many wisps spawn per night

[verbal radish]

How long for vineberry to bear fruit ?

[verbal radish]

3 .

[pastel latch]

They spawn multiple times a night in bunches of 1-3 to my experience

[nocturne wolf]

More than 3, but only 3 can be at the fountain at once so you need to pick them up to get more

[finite lodge]

how many do i need to collect in order to not have to worry about it again lol

[verbal radish]

Only need 1 really...

[nocturne wolf]

It depends on how many wisp torches you want to use

[verbal radish]

And if you have mistwalker sword...you will need to kidnap a few more

[nocturne wolf]

You don't need many right now because you can always take more

[finite lodge]

the wisp fountain is the only mistlands content ive experienced so far lol

[verbal radish]

Beat the queen build a boat and get to painland.

[azure yacht]

Every fountain can only have three wisps flying around max.

But you can just grab them as they appear

[verbal radish]

Will the dev buff the vineberry , seems it is very slow to have fruit.

[azure yacht]

You can just build several fountains as well

[azure yacht]

Because it's a bug

[steel copper]

I'm hoping they release a new patch soon for vineberrys even though collecting them is easy to stock, I want to farm as well

[ebon raven]

thery have never patched in a new farmable that didnt land with the biome updates

[tidal zodiac]

hey guys, i've benn wondering, if someday i could play with you without saying nothing...i'll explain, i'm from Brazil and of course i can speak english, but i'm too shy to speak and i dont know if my english is good enough for you guys...so, ...

[ebon raven]

the people here dont play together this is just the official community managed by the company that made the game

[azure yacht]

sees a group in the voice channels that must be playing together

[tidal zodiac]

oh too bad...i thought this was one big server for all

[ebon raven]

yea but theres 32k people in here a few are bound to play together

[mystic gale]

I think valheim was supposed to be an mmo first?

[ebon raven]

theres a looking for group channel in here tho

[tidal zodiac]

i saw a guy on youtube who made a map to be MMO

this guy createsa all kinds of city possible

from small villages to whole big kingdons

[mystic gale]

yeah its toatly a cool project

[tidal zodiac]

doyou guys play with MODs? is it allowed here ?

[ebon raven]

some do

there is a mod support channel here if you need help with that

[tidal zodiac]

who's the final boss now in this last update?

[ebon raven]

fader

[tidal zodiac]

i beated the queen but the last time i was on ashlands, there was nothing there

now i read that there is a fire forest and a fortress...

[ebon raven]

if you visited it before the biome wont load the new version

you will need a new world

[tidal zodiac]

i see

me and my friends are rushing to see the ashlands...

in the newly created map of course

[finite lodge]

so wisplight is the only thing i need to go into mistlands?

[sly verge]

yag down, first try 😄

[tidal zodiac]

and hope not todying so fast

[azure yacht]

Yes

[tidal zodiac]

my friend said that the next update will be a sea biome or a sky biome...i doubt it

[plush umbra]

next update will add more build pieces or clothes

[tidal zodiac]

it will take long to come....this one came just now

[azure yacht]

Speculation.

Sky biome definitely won't be a thing, so ocean update is something we can hope for

[tidal zodiac]

it whould be great to have throwing axes...or mounts

[pastel latch]

there are already mounts in the game

and you can throw spears

[tidal zodiac]

yes i know but, thats is the late game...

[river forge]

Dunno, the yggdrasil tree is pretty up there, we will probably visit it

[pastel latch]

I suppose, people tend to claim here that plains biome is at the end of midgame though

[tidal zodiac]

i played a mod with throwing axes and its not the same thing

[pastel latch]

I gotta say the mounts are mediocre as hell anyways

[azure yacht]

"probably" is certainly wishful thinking

[pastel latch]

I highly doubt we will be visiting it tbh

[river forge]

Why doubt it

[pastel latch]

especially because we already have some tree roots in the mistlands

[tidal zodiac]

imagine you can tame a boar and use it on a cart to move

[river forge]

It's always visible

[pastel latch]

people have been begging loxes for being able to do that and honestly I am one of them

[river forge]

Basically teased for later

[pastel latch]

the dvergers already do it ingame, its unfair >:l

[river forge]

Can you get ashlands frog things to follow once tamed?

[azure yacht]

Nah

[tidal zodiac]

valheim is my new minecraft....hahahahaha

[vocal rivet]

You know the story of the game, right?

[river forge]

We are to accomplish feats to get into valhalla

[pastel latch]

wasnt it directly the opposite? we were in valhalla and were taken out of it to slay the monsters in the prison realm of valheim

[river forge]

Climbing the world tree would be a feat

[vocal rivet]

We're here to stop the Forsaken connecting Valheim to Yggdrassil.

[plush umbra]

being taken to valheim was neither a loving act, nor a punishment. it was a necessary, as odin's foes are your foes

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/not-that-simple-notebook-ally-noah-its-not-that-simple-gif-7430326

[vocal rivet]

No, that's pretty much it.

[pastel latch]

I don't see us reaching the world tree in this game outside of maybe an ending cutscene or something like that

[river forge]

When I read an item description it said I would have to slay more than this to get into valhalla

So I figured I'm on a journey to become worthy

[pastel latch]

Doesn't the game start with us being told we were a great warrior taken from the afterlife and were sent here to kill the fosaken? Its safe to assume we were in valhalla already

[median heath]

Did I miss something, are the "seaonal" items, now set on a "timer" and unlock automatically now on a certain day?

[pastel latch]

its 2 decorations, thats all but yeah

[median heath]

No, your in the 10th world, a "purgatory" having not proven yourself enough yet to join Valhalla I believe 🙂

Yup,, just didnt catch they unlock now, used to only release when patches came out 😉

[pastel latch]

nah we do know we were sent here because odin had to, not as a punishment

[slender rover]

Uh, does the trollstav not actually level blood magic? Because I have been summoning trolls over and over near a charred spawner and the XP bar hasn't budged

[median heath]

no not a punishment, just to "prove your worth".

probably just something only Alpha people know, I think they changed the starting lore a bit 😉
used to say, "To prove that you are worthy of entering Valhalla, you hav been sent to Valheim, the 10th Norse world. Only by defating the mighty beats of these lands will you win the favor of the gods" 😉

[verbal radish]

ashland green pot is just a storage box in disguise or it can do something special ?

[brazen geode]

how do i know which mods are updated for this version of the game

[plush umbra]

it doesnt

same with staff of wild not actually levelling lightning magic

pretty stupid

if its the devs way of forcing the player to diversify, then its done pretty badly.

[slender rover]

seems odd for sure, especially given how few things level blood magic in particular

[plush umbra]

Here's hoping it'll get changed in the future, like 20 damage grausten payload

[azure yacht]

"The mighty beats of these lands"

Rythm survival

There's a nordic rythm shoot (BPM), now valheim is the survival version

[river forge]

How do you even stay alive?, one or two charred warriors and the troll dies, he even struggles with a few of those twitchers

[azure yacht]

Why would it?

Nvm, I forgot that staff scales with elemental magic.

Actually, if it doesn't increase it, it's a glitch, not intended behavior

[safe thicket]

use the chat menu

[pulsar osprey]

I have a question again:

Will players of valheim from xbox gamepass will be able to join to a steam server?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, if it has crossplay enabled

[pulsar osprey]

ty very much

[safe thicket]

it saays it crossplays.. there i an option in settings

[burnt rune]

was considering maybe playing with nomap, but there is two things I feel conflicted about. and one of them is that I might not touch the game for 1-2 week or maybe even more and then if I got lost the last time I played I am in the middle of nowhere with no recollection of how I got there or how to get back.

The other is that I usually mark crypts and stuff so that I know where they're at and if I cleared them cause I will forget that too.

and I am just wondering if it is it worth it? 😆

[stark rose]

Do the swords do slash damage no matter what, or is their heavy attack considered peirce

[lunar sapphire]

On one hand no map runs add hours to a playthrough, on the other you have the risks you mentioned

😄

so it's up to you really

[safe thicket]

you could rename the game to "lost"

[lunar sapphire]

who?

[safe thicket]

snowfox..without the map showing where you ahve been it is just going to be go in circles and be lost

[burnt rune]

Sailing in circles and wasting time. like it should be

[near bear]

I feel like a really fun no-map run might involve

1. a craftable (modded) in-game compass
2. hand-drawn map

[safe thicket]

the world prettymuch looks the same

[outer spindle]

Thanks to your vikings incredible ability to always wake up at the exact timing, all you need to do is to snooze for the day and find where the sun is and that's East.

[near bear]

issues may arise at night 😆

[safe thicket]

you could use camp fires i suppose,, leave them on beaches etc

[outer spindle]

Did you think Vikings fling themselves into the unknown through the dark without modern navigation?

[paper marsh]

Just slash

[near bear]

i know nothing of actual history, but did vikings use the stars and constellations?

i don't think valheim's stars are robust enough to be used as such

[pliant hatch]

There's the world tree which is always in the same location, as well as several constellations of stars you can use to navigate.

Which will most likely bring up the comment: "You can't see those when it's cloudy / storming".

To which I will reply: "No, you can't but in that case it's a better idea to dock your boat and wait things out".

[outer spindle]

Yeah, but can't see the North Star from the 10th Realm

[safe thicket]

this is not a viking game..no raping and plundering the innocent

[outer spindle]

Oh, world tree's always in the same spot. You can use that to navigate

[near bear]

osunds perfectly workable actually! i forgot about yggdrasil

[pliant hatch]

Nor trading with other nations.....

[safe thicket]

yeah..it is a bad imitation

[near bear]

i think if you're looking for a historically-themed viking game, iron gate never intended this game to be that

[paper marsh]

I dunno, fulings are just trying to live life in their villages until we come plunder them

Dvergr too

[safe thicket]

gee ya think?

[near bear]

so it's unfair to call it a bad imitation
as that was never its goal in the first place

[plush umbra]

fulings cant be innocent with that cackle

[pliant hatch]

No it isn't.

Because it's based upon Viking lore, not Viking lifestyle (according to Western - and very biased - scriptures)

[safe thicket]

no it is not.. this game is just more of the same

fulings are far from innocent--they need to be genocided

[safe thicket]

fulings are far from innocent--they need to be genocided

[near bear]

on the topic of realism, a feature i'd really love is the ability to start sailing a longship in reverse, which was one of their IRL strengths (taking advantage of the symmetrical design)

[paper marsh]

And what's your reasoning for smashing innocent drake eggs to bring a mother to tears and slaughter her before her children so you can harvest her tears?

You know, some say that when you tap into her power you can still hear her cries

[safe thicket]

wow you are choking me up.. i need to drink some grog to ease my conscience

[near bear]

To be fair, the drakes instigated conflict by attacking the vikings in the first place

It was merely an act of self-defense!

[safe thicket]

the only innocent are dverger but DONT piss them off

[near bear]

True, I wish we had the ability to trade with them to get the component

[safe thicket]

the mage can one shot you to valhalla

[near bear]

(I am aware of the cart workaround but it's jank)

[pliant hatch]

Any creature having it's habitat invaded by an unknown creature would act the same.

I mean, even people check other people out the moment that person enters the same room as they are in.
Kinda like: "Does (s)he like my partner, is (s)he a potential thread to my relation with my partner, is (s)he a better sports(wo)man as I do.

I can't blame the drakes, nor the fullings to do the same thing about the player character.

[safe thicket]

yeah.. lue in the gjall and watch the destruction

lure

[worthy turtle]

is there a button to auto sort chests or like, put all the items in ur inventory that stack with the ones in ur chest

[near bear]

Noooo, my preferred way to interact with dvergr clans is to leave them peacefully behind and defend them if necessary

[nocturne wolf]

But you need the loot

[safe thicket]

stack button

[pliant hatch]

Stack button doesn't sort things. It just fills up the stacks you already have in your chest to the maximum before it starts filling up a new slot.

[safe thicket]

it sorts from your inventory to the chest

[pliant hatch]

Also, stack button doesn't work if there's nothing in the chest to start with.

[safe thicket]

be nice be kind be pleasant but have a plan to kill everyone you meet

[safe thicket]

i dont think an auto sort button would be feasible --what alphabetically?

[pliant hatch]

Material wise would be better.
like wood by wood, bones, fangs etc together. Things like that

[safe thicket]

use different chest for different items.. swamp chset - wolf chest-wood chest etc

use the item stands and stick everything you need on to the side of a building

[safe thicket]

armor stands too

put by bed get + in rest points

[wet lodge]

idk how people get more than 5-10 chitin per kraken

by the time you mine 3 barnacles they are already sinking again

[nocturne wolf]

Luck, pickaxe skill and the pickaxe used all affect it

[wet lodge]

on the first hit he shakes, everytime, and by the time the 2nd barnacle is through he leaves

and you barely got time for a 3rd

[nocturne wolf]

Every hit has a chance to start the sinking so if you're lucky you can break a few before it starts sinking

[wet lodge]

ive got 300 hours and its never been anything more than 3 barnacles

[pliant hatch]

Which pickaxe are you using?

[wet lodge]

on this run? only got antler so far, second boss isnt dead yet

[pliant hatch]

Ever tried the iron pickaxe in another run?

[wet lodge]

obviously?

[pliant hatch]

On the barnacles, I mean.

[wet lodge]

thats what we are talking about, yes

[pliant hatch]

Because I followed a stream last week and the one in that used an iron pickaxe and mined 5-6 barnacles before the Leviathan started to sink.

[merry pebble]

it can be just luck, iirc there is a certain % that the leviathan will start sinking after each hit

yeah, 10% that they will will start sinking every time the barnacles are damaged https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Leviathan

[wet lodge]

more like 100%

and then they are so insanely rare

[merry pebble]

10%, wiki uses values that were datamined for most things 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

If you leave the game before it finishes sinking it should stop, unless that was fixed

[wet lodge]

doubt that works on a server

[merry pebble]

not really necesseary imo, you can get all the chitin you might need from like 3-4 of them

[wet lodge]

110 chitin from 4?

[merry pebble]

it worked with lavaiathans on my friends server, so it probably should with these too

[wet lodge]

ive gotten 24 chitin from the only two Ive seen so far

so I estimate I need 9-10

[merry pebble]

if you multiply that by 4 its not really far from the 110 😉 and it seems you are unfortunatelly victim of a bad rng

[plush umbra]

dvergr were banished to valheim for a reason

[wet lodge]

yes, thats 8 leviathans

[plush umbra]

i wonder what it is

[merry pebble]

oh two, sorry didnt read it properly

[wet lodge]

and thats being generous

[merry pebble]

but that is really very little, i ususally get more that 20 from one, sometimes even more than 30

[wet lodge]

hit a barnacle once, they shake

then you got 30 seconds in which I can only break 3

[paper marsh]

I’ve managed to mine an entire lev without it sinking

[wet lodge]

ive done chitin farming on 4 different servers/saves and it was always the same

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

If you're the only player nearby it will work

[paper marsh]

That was also with a black metal pick and high pick skill so I was one shotting the barnacles

[chilly dust]

is 18 the highest comfort now with maypole or am I missing something?

[plush umbra]

its 18

[wet lodge]

one of the guys on our server got the maypole recipe, hes the only one

[regal spoke]

Bm pick op needs nerf ;p

[wet lodge]

he doesnt know how he has it

[plush umbra]

your missing ingredients then.

[merry pebble]

do you play on different time zones by a chance?

[wet lodge]

I remember maypoles as being fixed spawns you gotta find

[wet lodge]

both in utc+2

[regal spoke]

Summer unlocks them

[fair cairn]

you can only build them during season

you can find them out of season but they are rare

[merry pebble]

from today they should be able to make 😉

[wet lodge]

they got the recipe 3 days ago

[merry pebble]

wth

[wet lodge]

and I didnt get it at all

[fair cairn]

check the wiki what you need for them or well, ask here

[merry pebble]

wood, dandelion, thistle

[wet lodge]

we have all that

[fair cairn]

wow, that all?

well ok its a stick thats pretty so i guess yes

[merry pebble]

yep, 10 wood, and 4 of dandelion and thistle each

[wet lodge]

I remember maypoles only being a thing to be found, determining the base location if one is found

[regal spoke]

That was very early though. Iirc the recipe and season thing was from after hearth and home?

[merry pebble]

you were able to make them for quite a long time

at least last year, and i would bet even longer

[regal spoke]

My memory stands with you on that lol

[merry pebble]

seems they were added in june 2021 🙂

[wet lodge]

now I feel old

[merry pebble]

same, but thats because i have a memory of an 70 yeard old XD

[regal spoke]

To many new things learned to retain that

[merry pebble]

i have played since march 2021 and forgot most of it 😄

[regal spoke]

I jumped in the year it dropped (whatever year that was ;p ) around February

[merry pebble]

yeah 2021 😉

[regal spoke]

Hah ty

[wet lodge]

bro

[regal spoke]

You enjoying Ashland's Asatru!?

[wet lodge]

I just said I give up and wanted to go home, and the game throws 3 krakens at the same spot at me

[regal spoke]

Time to work lol

[merry pebble]

oh yes, i enjoyed them quite a bit 😄 i was playing the ptb and as they dropped to live branch i made a new world, i am not in them yet on it tho

[merry pebble]

i once found 5 in a line next to each other my biggest catch yet

[regal spoke]

Awesome. I just got back in world last night. Made a fresh toon and jumped in Germs world. Looking forward to making it south

3+ in one area is pretty darn rare

[wet lodge]

the least the game can do to compensate for 2 hours of none

2/3 gone, made 25 chitin

total of 5 krakens across 3 hours for 81 chitin

[hidden gorge]

its more common than finding zero cores in a dungeon

which unfortunately isn't as rare as it should be

[ebon raven]

doesnt the abyssal razor suck tho>

[hidden gorge]

you get chitin for the harpoon

[ebon raven]

yea you only need 30 for that

1-2 levi should give enough for the harpoon, dunno why you would bother getting more than that unless you wanted a backup harpoon

[azure yacht]

It's iron-tier and there's no iron knife

[uncut cloud]

guys

i ran past plains into swamp and died

now i cant get past plains without my stuff

[ebon raven]

yea but who uses knives?

[hidden gorge]

not with that attitude

[ebon raven]

just run and dont look back

[uncut cloud]

mosquito

[azure yacht]

A lot of people...

[ebon raven]

they cant hit you at full sprint

[uncut cloud]

i dont have stamina

[ebon raven]

eat food?

[hidden gorge]

or simply walk, and only dodge when they come after you

[strange coyote]

squitos are glass cannons. block the attack with a shield and hit em back. should die fairly easily

[ebon raven]

he died hes need to run to his corpse

[strange coyote]

ohh well that certainly makes things harder

[ebon raven]

just needs to eat a belly full of food and run past them

[hidden gorge]

you don't even need to be full, just grab a cloudberry should give you plenty

[ebon raven]

may as well be full you ideally wont want to stop running til you hit the swamp

[strange coyote]

been having the same trouble with mistlands. just landed there and got destroyed by a seeker and some sort of morrowind style silt strider looking thing

[ebon raven]

atleast it wasnt a gjall

[ornate sigil]

Silt strider was a gjall. If you hear a foghorn, you know one is close.||They can spawn additional enemies, ticks, along with shoot fireballs from range.|| They can be a pain

[strange coyote]

ahh that's what it's called. yeah that's what i mean lol. i was trying to fight off the seeker and it kept spitting stuff at me

[ebon raven]

they are notorious for camping where they killed you

theres a scummy trick you can use with a portal, pre build a portal within running distance of your corpse, run as close to your corpse and throw down a portal as fast as you can then kite the mobs towards the first portal walk through and boom you come out next to your corpse and the mobs are gone

its handy for those situations where even if you manage to grab your loot you are likely to die before getting it equiped

[safe thicket]

i lured a soldier bug to a troll and it killed that poor blue devil np

even with me spearing the bug in the azz! lol

[ebon raven]

time to wage war then bring two tame wolves build a breeding box that drops the pups out outside the mating range wait til they become a army then release them

[plush umbra]

does it matter to stop at 1 stamina or go to 0?

[round lichen]

what is max comfort now?

[safe thicket]

i have 14 = 21 minutes

[plush umbra]

18

[round lichen]

i have 18 as well

[safe thicket]

i need to pile in more stuff

21 minutes in its getting dark.. time to hide

[burnt rune]

Ever since I asked that question about nomap earlier I have been thinking about snow patrol - chasing cars in my head , but its Chasing karves instead.

[round lichen]

level 5 forge? how

[ornate sigil]

Reg forge or black forge?

[round lichen]

black

oh i need a bloodstone

[ornate sigil]

Requires ashlands materials for 2 upgrades

[plush umbra]

que onda gente

aguante fernanflo y su perro curly

[merry pebble]

sorry mate, we dont understand yyou

[dapper token]

think you gotta stick to english, man

[safe thicket]

The Maypole and Christmas tree cannot currently be crafted, but can very occasionally be found in abandoned villages on certain worlds. Building your base around them is the only way to benefit from its comfort bonus. Technically this would make your maximum comfort level 19, giving you 26 Rested minutes.

[merry pebble]

maypole can be crafted now tho

[safe thicket]

this is an old post evidently

[merry pebble]

then why do you post it here when you know its old info 😅

[safe thicket]

i didnt know

am old and senile <---

[burnt rune]

its been reenabled within the last 7 days, I got the recipes when I logged on today

[safe thicket]

i cant seem to get it over 14..the chair stool etc makes no +

[merry pebble]

if you want you can look at all the thing adding comfort here 🙂 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Comfort

[safe thicket]

i did -have the raven bed and tables hearth etc but somehow the small stuff wont add

stool chair dont make a dif

[wet lodge]

only one chair and one bench work

do benches and chairs not stack anymore?

also dumb that carpets dont stack anymore

[vocal rivet]

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

[rustic compass]

hi anyone encountered a problem like this?
I can join other players game but whenever I try to start one the game crashes

[vocal rivet]

Not really dumb. They were never supposed to.

[stray lily]

did anyone else have their online game crash?

wondering if it's on my host's end or if it's a steam thing

[pulsar mortar]

Disconnecting happens quite often

[stray lily]

nvm it was on the host's end

[spring oyster]

Tbh the respawn rate in Ashlands is so bad, I can't tell if its a bug or a feature !

[vocal rivet]

The respawn rate is the same as every other biome.

[spring oyster]

Absolutely not, it feels like im perpetually stuck in combat.

[molten hill]

the Аshenlands are a very bugged biome. 6 fps 4070 video card. The boss is not visible behind the special effects

[pliant hatch]

That's not because of the spawnrate but because of the higher amount of spawnpoints

[pulsar mortar]

6 Askvins, 10 skeletons with one 2 star variant, valkyrie, dvergrs with stars also morgen and suicide bomber blobs in one small area

[strange arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/fun-this-is-where-the-fun-begins-anakin-skywalker-revenge-of-the-sith-star-wars-gif-26313467

[safe thicket]

ashlands seemed to come out way faster than expected after mistlands.. maybe they rushed it a bit?

[pliant hatch]

Testing it in the PTB took longer as it took for Mistlands.

So, no.

[spring oyster]

Whatever it is, after 3 days of grinding , it feel very tedious, I tested this and looked at the clock, and I can't have a single minute of exploring the area , or just look at the biome, bc I have to fight something !And when I go back to my camp they spawn again.

[warm rover]

does ashen cape stack with ask set?

on stamina reduction?

[livid widget]

what is the range on the maypole?

[merry pebble]

i think it should🤔 but i didnt test it in any way so i could be wrong

[noble geyser]

anyone want to start a new vanilla playthrough?

[strange arrow]

10m

[pulsar mortar]

Lower difficulty settings to easy till you start a proper base in one of the forts

[warm rover]

couldnt figure either asatru

[spring oyster]

I can't , I play on a server .And besides I don't think the combat is too difficult or anything overly sophisticated , it just that it never ends. It's like a neverending greydwarf raid XD

[livid widget]

How long is Midsummer?

[paper venture]

How do weapon skills affect the game? more damage?

[safe thicket]

++++++++++++++++++++++

woops

[tight yacht]

Yes, decreases stamina costs to swing as well i believe, and in the case of bows it decreases draw time

Is there a list of all items that add comfort?

Need to know what to put in my bedroom

[safe thicket]

3y ago

I tested out a bunch of the skills at max level on a offline character using cheats, and level 100 (max) sprint runs insanely fast with little stamina drain. Max jump allows you to jump about 3x characters height. Max sword level doubles damage of your sword attack and reduces stamina drain when swinging. I imagine other weapon skills boost the same. I wish it would give detailed reports but these are some things to look forward to
redit

[vocal vale]

It’s on the wiki?

[vocal vale]

Yeah on the comfort wiki

[safe thicket]

this according to a reddit post

[vocal rivet]

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

[vocal vale]

Oh well that’s just a bad source of information isnt it

[safe thicket]

losing 5% across all skills at death..trouble breaking 30

[tight yacht]

Yeah me too lol

Although to be fair I don't usually die unless I'm trying to establish a beachhead in a new zone

[wise tinsel]

guys i need advice

i keep having greydwarfs spawn inside my farming fields and now iv lost hundreds of crops including all of my onions how the hell do i prevent this

[safe thicket]

get some wolves

[hidden gorge]

surround it with walls and workbenches

[safe thicket]

wolves keep those bastards from destroying the boat

[pliant hatch]

Torches do spawn prevention as well.
Can build them inside a 1m log, making them kinda indestructible.

[wise tinsel]

i cant get any wolves yet but il try the torches

[pliant hatch]

To protect them build the 1m standing wooden beam with the snap point set to top so it's level with the ground.
Build the torch on top of that, then select the 1m wooden beam again and make sure it snaps to the one in the ground.
By doing so, it will get partially over the torch, making it hard for monsters to destroy the torches.

[candid hamlet]

is there a command to swtich to immersive mode

[pliant hatch]

You can do that with the modifiers even when the game's already started.
Simply log out, select your world, adjust the modifiers and enter your world.

[candid hamlet]

i need to do it on a dedicated server

[pliant hatch]

In that case, better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[tight yacht]

GET YOUR MAYPOLES IN

is there any way to free things stuck in tar?

[paper marsh]

Drain the tar

[tight yacht]

how

[livid widget]

I swear the game detects when you are low on stamina and sends mobs

[nocturne wolf]

Use a pickaxe

[tight yacht]

Is there any reason to not drain tar pits? Are they an infinite source of tar if you leave them?

[nocturne wolf]

No, the tar items do not respawn

[tight yacht]

How about the mobs, do they stop spawning if you drain it?

Ah nope, 2 growths will respawn even if it's drained. Ok

So I'll drain this and keep harvesting the growths as they come

[nocturne wolf]

Harvesting growths gets tar very slow, it’s best to find new tar pits

[paper marsh]

If you drain it then you can't lure enemies into the tar pit to follow them up with staff of embers

[tight yacht]

Is it worth taming animals? I'm guessing yes for lox but what about the others

I guess specifically boar and wolves since those are lower tier

[pliant hatch]

Tames boars are a good source of food in two biomes.
Wolves are a good source of pelts, meat and will be great guardians for some time.

[tight yacht]

I'm in the plains now though, is it still worth getting them? Boar I'm guessing not since those only seem good for their meat and I have much better food options now

[woeful yacht]

They're nice to have roaming around your base or farm

[tight yacht]

Wolves idk, they can be used to guard things I guess?

How effective are they really for the plains

[woeful yacht]

You can use boar meat to feed your wolves

[woeful yacht]

Depends on how many you have 😆

[pliant hatch]

They're still pretty strong when dealing with Fullings.
It's after plains they become really useless as guardians; but by then you get another thing to defend your base. Or to kill you, depending at how you set it. 😄

[mellow junco]

What's the best way to get your first cirtling cores I have full leather lv3 flint axe and a bow and skeleton sheild

[tight yacht]

I guess since I still get the "you are being hunted" event I can get free wolves delivered to me

Can I feed them lox meat? Or should I get boars to do that

Also can the event wolves spawn as starred variants?

[pliant hatch]

Only boar and dear meat for them.
Which is why tamed boars might be still useful.
And "no", wolves from the Hunted event don't spawn with stars, afaik.

[tight yacht]

The crypt things in the black forest

[tight yacht]

Yeah guess I'll have to...how do I transport animals then? I'm in the plains

[vapid pollen]

guys can anything build on top of the ashlands lava (pls spoiler the answer for ppl who dont wanna know)

[mellow junco]

Yeh I know where but I struggled with clearing one

[tight yacht]

Well that's what ya gotta do

Get in there with a club and go off

[mellow junco]

Is club better then flint axe?

[pliant hatch]

Wolves can swim behind your boat, as long as you order them to follow you.
Boars need to be transported on top of your boat; which will be tricky. You might try to drag them with the Abysmal Harpoon, but that will cost a lot of stamina.

[tight yacht]

Like say I see a 2 star boar or wolf somewhere... how do I capture, tame, and get it to my relatively isolated base

[worthy turtle]

do tree sapplings need a certain amount of space to grow or is it possible for them to grow right next to eachother

[tight yacht]

For killing skeletons, yes by a lot

[tight yacht]

They need space

[pliant hatch]

Club is a lot better to deal with skellies as an axe, bow or sword because of the damage it does and the resistance the skellies have against pierce and slash damage.

[tight yacht]

I guess I'll try to find a connected meadows area but that'll be tough

[paper marsh]

Slash isn't bad, skellies aren't resistant to it. But blunt is better because they're weak to it

[mellow junco]

Ok thx

[tight yacht]

I think there is a mountain close enough for me to try to get some wolves

I'm guessing wolves don't need a pen but the boars and lox should

Wolves should be roaming around, but how do you set up their feeding/breeding stuff

[pliant hatch]

Look for Hildir's location.
It's meadows and close to the plains.
Might be useful to set up a portal there, create a small farm and use that to breed boars for meat.

[tight yacht]

I'd rather have them at my actual base tho

I don't want to portal food back and forth

I'd rather have wolves, lox, and boar all at my primary base location

How do the stars work with breeding?

Do I need both to be 2 star or just one?

[pliant hatch]

One starred and one "normal" one will be enough.
As soon as you got a starred offspring, kill the normal one and the starred will only give starred animals after that.

[tight yacht]

ah i see, ok thanks

so the starred has to get preggo, if the unstarred one does i need to wait

[pliant hatch]

Aye.

[livid widget]

How come sometimes the silver veins explode in one hit, and other times not?

[paper marsh]

Depends on if it's properly disconnected from the ground or not

even if it looks like its floating the game might still consider it connected

[livid widget]

I usually mine it out completely

[teal tiger]

Weird... I seem to have lost my catapult recipe.

[sharp bluff]

that hitbox is a mess

[livid widget]

So I should try to dig out more around it?

[teal tiger]

As Snail said, sometimes the game is finicky about deciding if veins are connected or not. I try to have a 1-2m gap all around my vein.

Around and below*

[livid widget]

Does that work for copper also?

[teal tiger]

Copper is usually harder to pop in my experience since it tends to run deeper.

I still try to dig it out, just to make sure I get as much as I can.

[sharp bluff]

usually most of the copper is below ground, aye

[livid widget]

Do you need to be near the pigs for them to mate?

[paper marsh]

Eh it's not too bad imo. Copper is the only one that's terrible

[teal tiger]

I've had a couple silver that refused to pop because of the shape of the mountain not letting me dig deep enough below them, but they're definitely the exception to the rule. But yeah, screw copper lol.

[sharp bluff]

fortunately silver isnt a mat you need a lot of

[teal tiger]

True. My server is just 2 of us, and we only needed 4 veins between us and came out with a few spare stacks in this playthrough.

[sharp bluff]

iron on the other hand...

[tight yacht]

is there any advantage to cobblestone walkways?

[teal tiger]

If you think you have enough iron: you don't lol

[livid widget]

Just seems cosmetic to me. Looks nice in courtyards at base

[finite lodge]

playing without megingjord is a nightmare

[teal tiger]

That was one of the things that made me dislike Mistlands lol.

[sharp bluff]

fortunately mistlands doesnt have you hauling large amounts of ore

[finite lodge]

spazzy recommends frostner for mistlands do you guys concur

[tight yacht]

making a good looking base takes so many damn resources

[sharp bluff]

until you get something better

[tight yacht]

whats the best way to get lots of stone

[sharp bluff]
