[near kayak]

pretty sure there is no map in nightmare mod

[merry sun]

i think i changed it so

[paper marsh]

the combination of no map, no portals, hardcore, vhard, and 0.5 resources really changed up how the game plays for me, it was very interesting to try. Had to think a lot more about things before going and doing them

But it got so tedious in the end 😅

Despite playing a lot of vhard though I don't find it a lot of fun. Hard is way better

[near kayak]

Yup

We're thinking of switching it down to hard

[paper marsh]

Hard mode without using a bow or atgeir is very fun for me

[civic rampart]

I would be completely mullered without a bow 😛

[half dragon]

I never bothered to grind bow high enough to use it as the main weapon. It's just too annoying to deal with until much later into the game

[merry sun]

the best i got on bow was 80

it is really strong

[half dragon]

and melee is more fun anyway... except magic. it feels nice to use

[paper marsh]

no bow on mountains is pretty fun too

[civic rampart]

I'm not disagreesing at this point, I'm just very poor at melee and find it easier to pepper things to death from range, and in some cases from structures.

[half dragon]

if only finally got a staff good for staggering enemies and exploiting that stagger... but nope. The lighting pew pew stick staggers alright, but with that slow ass fire rate can't do a follow up

[paper marsh]

oh for sure it's easier, bows are broken af

[civic rampart]

And trying to melee fliers is mostly futile.

[merry pebble]

nah, drakes need to be punched 😄

[warm rover]

[

[paper marsh]

Eh, squitoes and bats are pretty easy to melee. Drakes and Gjall are a bit harder but not bad

Could also throw spears at them

[civic rampart]

True, remember the bit where I said I was very poor at melee 😄

Skill issue on my part I know, but I'm not getting any younger.

[worldly reef]

Can mosquitoes and bats fly through iron cage?

[merry pebble]

no

[worldly reef]

Or drakes shoot through it?

[merry pebble]

they shouldnt

[worldly reef]

Thank you

[distant stream]

By upgrading the crossbow , does it reduce the reload times?

[near kayak]

n o

[strange arrow]

that's by increasing skill level with it

[azure yacht]

That's what it says in the wiki...

But not what it says in the game...

In the game it says the skill improves damage and accuracy only, doesn't mention reload speed or knockback.

Knockback doesn't matter that much, but it should mention the reload speed

Who do I blame for misinformation in the in-game tooltips?

[wet lodge]

I just realized that with the discord hack a while ago, I lost a ton of screenshots of my old builds

[plush umbra]

[wet lodge]

and the worlds they were on are gone too due to a lost harddrive, ive spent dozens of hours on some of those

[plush umbra]

thats life

[wet lodge]

sad

[plush umbra]

happened to me too, cant trust backups these days

[sharp aurora]

excuse me guys, where can i give feedback on the new game update and where can i give suggestions about the last biome the Deep North?

someone can help me plz?

[pliant hatch]

For feedback: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128

For suggestions: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612

[sharp aurora]

thank you that was pretty quick 😁

[pliant hatch]

You can access those channels - and having always shown them - if you set your roles right in id:customize

[plush umbra]

Are skills really that important? I tried magic in the ashlands and it's just sorta dissapointing, doesn't kill stuff fast enough.

[sharp aurora]

what is your skill level?

[plush umbra]

elemental magic like 20

[sharp aurora]

try to improve your staff, and don't use the ice one too much

[ornate sigil]

The damage outside of the parenthesis (should be) damage at skill lvl100. You are missing 60+ levels of damage increase and (from what I have seen in chats, here) most people won't consider their weapon of choice effective till skill reaches about 60-70.

In ashlands *

[wet lodge]

hiding the maypole is rough

[near kayak]

I mean it's a pretty decoration, do you really have to hide it?

[wet lodge]

its incredibly ugly

[near kayak]

whaaaaaaat

[ornate sigil]

Low-poly maypole is indeed not very pretty. To me it's a "meh" item. Not pretty or ugly. Haven't run into it in any vanilla playthoughs. But I have spawned it before for comfort level testing.

[paper marsh]

Very High skill vs very low skill is a very high difference. Your weapons become on average I’d say 3x as good at lvl 100 compared to lvl 0. But leveling skills is super fast when you have low skill and super slow when you have high skill, so I wouldn’t say it’s worth grinding for super high skills. Difference between like 40 skill and 60 skill isn’t that big

[plush umbra]

so at what skill would be enough?

[ornate sigil]

But for hiding it(maypole), either in a stone wall, double thick thin wall type (like wood or ashlands stone) or making a visual "support column" in something like a great hall would work decent enough.

[paper marsh]

I’d say 40-50 in a skill is good. Can totally use a weapon at 0 skill though just not quite as good

For magic, magic is super powerful because you can stay safe at range and gun enemies down without going into danger. As a trade off though, it is gonna have a bit less damage than a melee weapon, if the melee weapon and magic is at the same skill level

[tacit crown]

Never got a skill over 35 😎

They are too volatile for me to care

[woeful yacht]

Another trade off with magic is you're squishy

[azure yacht]

Nah.

They're just nice-to-haves.

[paper marsh]

I'd argue the opposite. Staff of protection OP af

But if you are really worried about squishyness you could eat some hp food

[azure yacht]

They're just very extremely overrated.

People seem like a mystic force prevents them from playing if their skills aren't at level 45.76689837364 with exactly 58.95960597% of progress to the next level

[paper marsh]

surprisingly my first run getting a weapon skill to 100, was a hardcore run

[woeful yacht]

It is, but it's not hard to get mobbed in ashlands and once it's down you're done for. I've been impressed with magic and also unimpressed. Impressed because it's very effective until you suddenly die

I run a hybrid build

[plush umbra]

no reason not to play hybrid

[woeful yacht]

Yeah

The storm mace has been one of my best friends lately 😄

[near kayak]

Knife player when Mistland : 😊
Knife player when Ashland : 🙃

[hasty nacelle]

can't load my worlds is there any bugs or something?

[vocal vale]

I haven’t been able to load any singleplayer worlds since the Ashlands update myself

[plush umbra]

try verify game files

or load current backup save

[hasty nacelle]

thanks it worked 🙂

[dry fable]

the new update is so cool

[stone surge]

so is it a bug that flamemetal is better than wood iron?

[sand solstice]

quick question, the colored sign does not glow anymore right?

[merry pebble]

they should have the same ammount of support

[ornate sigil]

Likely, yes. The structure is supposed to be the same. The only difference is they can survive in lava.

[stone surge]

okay then yeh reddit is right that its a bug
I built a tower from it and from wood iron side by side 2 meters apart
flamemetal was able to go 4meters higher

[ornate sigil]

From what I have seen, this is correct. Colored signs no longer glow.

[sand solstice]

Thanks!

[azure yacht]

Matter of waiting until stability updates properly and the extra meters will collapse.

Offset ground might cause that too

[vocal vale]

How do you do that

[stone surge]

their on equal ground and i waited for 30minutes and still stable

[azure yacht]

Did you try logging out and in again?

[stone surge]

nope did not

[azure yacht]

Try and see.

Someone else had the same case with another type of support and logging out and in updated it

The extra meters collapsed

[stone surge]

just logged in
its still standing

[storm inlet]

hello gangity gang gang

[safe thicket]

coffee is king

[tiny tiger]

Coffee in valheim??

[safe thicket]

you have to mix puffins with pussy farts

[barren oar]

[round lichen]

best bow gem upgrade?

im thinking root fang

[river forge]

Wtf

[pastel latch]

I'd say lightning or blood tbh, the attack speed aint worth going for rooting

[crystal reef]

hello

[round lichen]

ok. i figured the immobilization benefits ranged attacks

[pastel latch]

I'd say more melee honestly

enemies cant turn around to attack you as you slap their asses from behind with a sword or axe

[little swift]

is there a fast way to level up block skill?

[safe thicket]

yes..get the best shield you can and then parry the baddest monster you can find

rinse repeat

[little swift]

its not a fast way

[safe thicket]

werksforme

[little swift]

parrying gives same ammount xp as blocking, i need a really fast way

[safe thicket]

cheat then

[little swift]

cheating is for noobs

im just looking for a good farm or something because i know that some people are crazy in this ( im not )

[torpid pike]

Is there any self promotion channel for streams? huehue

[merry pebble]

#self-promotion

[safe thicket]

This is where these stats get interesting, and it involves some simple math. The Parry Bonus modifies your Block Power, and is what helps determine if a parry will stagger the enemy, allowing you to capitalize on the bonus damage. If a parry is successful, the damage you block is calculated by multiplying the Block Power of your weapon or shield by its Parry Bonus. If the final value is larger than the damage roll of the attack you are parrying, the parry will stagger the enemy. A Staggered enemy will take double damage from attacks. If the final parry value is less than the damage being dealt, your parry will be broken, the enemy will not stagger, and the remaining damage will be dealt, modified by your armor and resistances.

[little swift]

i know how parry works

[safe thicket]

to parry attacks DOES upgrade your block skills.. I use the mistlands seeker

[little swift]

yes they do but normal block gives the same ammount of the level bar ( xp )

[merry pebble]

camp a spawner in burial chambers with tower shield, should work fine

[little swift]

well i tried it and skeletons stopped spawning at some point but i may try the swamp spawner method

[safe thicket]

you sad parrying gives same ammount xp as blocking, i need a really fast way.. so maybe you are ignorant?

[little swift]

wdym im ignorant

[safe thicket]

parrying will upgrade your blocking skills faster..period

[merry pebble]

basically camp any spawner, preferably somewhere where monsters can come to you from only one direction

[little swift]

give me a minute i wil show you something i just need to go to my test world

[safe thicket]

look,, i have a video explaining it..look at the numbers that come off the parry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nUWbEhr_VI&t=1s

[little swift]

i dont mean any parry bonuses dude

i mean xp, do you even know what xp means??????

[safe thicket]

good gawd man.. you want to upgrade your blocking skills and THIS is how you do it.. what part of this escapes you?

[vocal vale]

False, parrying gives double the xp

[little swift]

really? when did they change it

[vocal vale]

Just go to a crypt and get swarmed by skellies

[safe thicket]

offs

[vocal vale]

I think it’s been that way since forever

I love you ratz

[safe thicket]

only since the VERY begginig

beginning

[tacit crown]

Just get a lot of weak enemies around you and hold block, parrying ain't the way to level up fast

[livid widget]

Is there a backpack to increase inv?

[little swift]

well i knew that already but thanks

[tacit crown]

Then what is it you're looking for sir?

[little swift]

no, but there is a belt called megingjord that increases your max inventory weight by 150, you can get it from the trader

[safe thicket]

Is there a backpack to increase inv? he said nothing about weight

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Skills blocking row, right side 🙂

[storm inlet]

i slept while nevegating

i died

[livid widget]

I got a belt, thx! Was just wondering if there was something to increase slots too

[merry pebble]

no, nor there ever will be most likely 🙂

[little swift]

do you want a beef or something man? whats your problem

atleast i know how to parry a boar not like you

[tacit crown]

Make the square

[little swift]

and btw you cant send youtube links here, its advertising your channel which is against the rules🤓

[vocal vale]

It's not specifically advertising if it solves a question that was just asked

[vocal vale]

mini modding is also against the rules, either way this escalation is silly

[merry pebble]

it was not really advertising... its was topic of convo so they sent something that was relevant to it...

[tacit crown]

Come on lads, settle this in combat

[little swift]

alright man it was enough

[vocal vale]

Does anyone know how to open chat on xbox?

[storm inlet]

gang its my sixt day naked on a boat

[vocal vale]

hell of a party

[tacit crown]

Wait till you reach the 7th day, gets crazy

[storm inlet]

gang how do i tame this Halstain

just found one

[vocal vale]

hes owned

youll find some wild ones in a couple biomes

[safe thicket]

the plains have lox, dig a trench line the top sides with stone leaving an end open lure lox into the trench and run between his legs out the trench and seal behind you

feed cloud berries

[vocal vale]

I'd love to see them add more extreme weather

Like a hurricane that if youre in the ocean youll have waves towering you type of thing

[safe thicket]

you said I was FOs abut parrying and then YOU still say I am FOS so fvku

[shy marlin]

what is goin on

[azure yacht]

It's still an answer to the question and a potential solution due to the lack of actual backpacks, which is stated in the message.

[azure yacht]

Apparently, people very stupidly escalating a fight out of nowhere from simple stuff...

Btw scales you are a very unpleasant person because I dislike your tone in that completely normal message

[shy marlin]

Yo let’s fight meet me in the spawn circle

[loud valve]

You gotta specify the seed or you won't see them

[azure yacht]

Sure, let me get Elder's power first to be ready (it's super useful in combat)

[tacit crown]

Valheim without the elders power would just be a dying simulator

Lads don't question mark me as if you are not using it to cheese every boss

[paper marsh]

I don't think you know what the Elders power does

[wispy path]

All that wood chopping has saved my life numerous times.

[paper marsh]

But no, I don't like to cheese in Valheim

[strange coyote]

You used to be able to go through a portal right after renaming it. Did that get patched out? I can't seem to get it to work anymore

[paper marsh]

It did get patched out

[tacit crown]

Yes sir

[strange coyote]

Ah damn 😦 alright thanks guys

[tacit crown]

You have to teleport like a man now

[pastel latch]

for some reason everytime you said elder's power I was thinking of eithkyr 💀

[azure yacht]

Elder power built me a house once in a time when I was homeless.

Odin bless his kind soul

[rain flare]

So no goats milk in a new update then? 🤣

[pastel latch]

we should be able to milk askvins 👍

[tacit crown]

Elder power is what makes everyone who they are

[paper marsh]

Milk is fine just don’t ferment it to cheese

[pastel latch]

if only fader's power wasnt so comically useless

[tacit crown]

You mean the most powerful power in the game? Yeah, right.

[azure yacht]

It's not useless.

But it can certainly be upgraded more.

They could just add an extra 0 to the carry weight and done

[paper marsh]

Faders power is decent, movement speed is very good

Still outclassed by bonemass eik and maybe queen tho

[rain flare]

I’m feeling like Ashlands is designed to conquer valheimian weight and transportation difficulties more than anything else

[azure yacht]

3000 extra carry weight and +10% move speed would be extremely good

[pastel latch]

fader's power should have a longer duration or be passive honestly

[tacit crown]

3000 extra? That'll get you like 3 iron scrap

[rain flare]

Trouble getting stuff or big animals around?

BIG boat

Wanna transport metals?

BIG portal

Run out of carry capacity?
Lemme double or nothin for 5 minutes 😂

[pastel latch]

its honestly criminal that in the endgame you often have less than 10 spare inventory slots over in a game with this many items and stack sizes this small

never seen a survival sandbox game with a smaller inventory than valheim

[tacit crown]

The problem is how much you need to have on you

[pastel latch]

its almost like game devs have equipment slots in their games for a reason

[azure yacht]

Akshually: *4

[vocal rivet]

Criminal? What's criminal is that people have reached the penultimate biome without learning inventory management.

[pastel latch]

mother of cope

[strange coyote]

They've got a point about equipment slots though. That would be nice imo. Armor and food alone take a quarter of your inventory. Then your tools and weapons take another quarter

[vocal rivet]

How? How are you using so many slots?

[pastel latch]

I play on hardmode and you need to be prepped for many scenarios

[strange coyote]

Hammer, sword, shield, frostner, bow, hoe on hotbar

[vocal rivet]

So... Hard mode is hard? Gotcha.

[frail wagon]

foxes added to the black forest when?

[vocal rivet]

Never.

[pastel latch]

hard difficulty should have nothing to do with a terrible inventory system though

[frail wagon]

but me want fox : (

[nocturne wolf]

When we get tameable necks

[frail wagon]

now THIS is a great point

[tacit crown]

Come on derek, we all know inventory fills up faster than a childs dms on a dangerous website

[nocturne wolf]

(I meant never)

[vocal rivet]

It's. Not. Terrible.

[frail wagon]

yeah i gotta agree how can you call it ivn system bad?

[vocal rivet]

That's a weird thing to say. Also, it's Derek.

[vocal vale]

I mean samaramon basically has tame necks. Have you seen her neck pond?

[tacit crown]

No, it's derek

[vocal rivet]

OK, block it is.

[tacit crown]

Crazy

[frail wagon]

mfw i press v (It turns off auto pick up

[tacit crown]

Regardless, especially in ashlands you need a lot of the drops

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/casca48-gif-22560171

[tacit crown]

With food, armor and weapons it'll fill up

[vocal vale]

I saw a video recently about a Derek who was in an editing war on Wikipedia like 13 years ago. My first thought was that could definitely be you

[azure yacht]

That example was something else...

[vocal rivet]

My name isn't Derek on Wikipedia but otherwise, sure.

[nocturne wolf]

You can eat food out of a chest, which isn’t a problem because you should be returning to your base every night anyway

[tacit crown]

Its derek on Wikipedia

[vocal vale]

Damn I thought I met a celebrity

[azure yacht]

Derek lore

[vocal rivet]

I mean, you still have. 😉

[frail wagon]

chat this guy

[tacit crown]

Every night? I have bills to pay man

[azure yacht]

That event was known as either the War of Edition or the Derek Wars

[charred gale]

@l

[tacit crown]

That's gotta be the most inspirational thing you have said all day

[plush umbra]

go to steam library, RM on game, properties, third tab, fourth option

[vapid hearth]

I can't take this anymore
I can't keep waiting around for an opportunity to thin out the dorfs in this base
Imma mug these dorfs so I can finally get the armor and weaponry I desperately need

Oh god, the crate's guarded by two dorfs, a fire mage and a one-star frost dorf

[merry pebble]

employ some bugs to help you 😄

[plush umbra]

snipe them from a distance

[vapid hearth]

🤔

A flying artillery jellyfish! Perfect!

The distraction worked
Destroyed the component crate and bolted right out of there.
Now I just need to find a few goblins to kill in the nearby tiny plains patch and extract some sap

[vocal vale]

Thank you!

[cinder echo]

im convinced youre supposed to be hunting hares with magic.. its SO easy

[vocal vale]

I’ve punched a few to death

[wicked parcel]

do you still have to use a mod to not show helmit?

[storm inlet]

gang is normal to die hitkill to that water things in the swamp

?

[pastel latch]

yeah those jerks can only be reliably hit with magic or crossbows :/

[cinder echo]

its actually a lot of fun to run around and kill them with magic

[pastel latch]

yep, the meat is great too

[cinder echo]

just throw fireballs.. ez hare meat

[nocturne wolf]

Are you using poison resistance mead?

[cinder echo]

farming seeker soilder trophy right now with no luck so getting tons of meat

[storm inlet]

no

[nocturne wolf]

Make a fermenter if you haven’t already

[storm inlet]

oki

ty

[pastel latch]

in general, focus potions HARD, they are very important. Especially poison and the other resistance potions you unlock later, one of them is even pretty much required

[willow narwhal]

sorry i have problem with start server.. always crash when i try to start my own world.When i play with friend on his world everything is fine. How to fix

[nocturne wolf]

Make a few fermenters if you can

[smoky quarry]

Make some booze

[pastel latch]

mark every darn large berry and mushroom cluster you find on the map too, you will not regret it

[smoky quarry]

I just go randomly on a search 🔦

[paper marsh]

I find it fun using no resistance meads, honestly feels like the way the game was meant to be played to me (maybe other than Mountain, where it can be a bit tough)

[nocturne wolf]

You really think Yagluth is meant to deal that much damage?

[smoky quarry]

Its meant to hurt. Game is no cake

[shy marlin]

As long as you don't linger it's not bad at all

[smoky quarry]

I cleared a very near goblin camp & fortified it just to watch it get rekt by his firestorms

[plush umbra]

its not even hard imo

[quasi gate]

yoo any one want to play

[slender rover]

Apparently I have terrible luck, because not only do I keep getting Valkyries spawn in to surprise me, but the wiki says their trophy has a 50% drop chance and I have killed at least 12 of them without a single trophy drop. Grrrr.

[simple plume]

Hello! can anyone help me out? I have all the materials needed for Vice-blackForge upgrade, but somehow it doesn't show in crafting panel. Please HELP :<

[merry pebble]

hmm you need iron copper and mechanical spring for that, did you pick all these thing up at least once?

[simple plume]

I have all three of those. Idk what's going on, do I need to defeat the Queen first?

[merry pebble]

no, you should be able to make it 🤔

[simple plume]

mann, idk what to do now, I've already restarted the game

[merry pebble]

should be after black forge in the hammer menu

[simple plume]

the game's somehow fixed after 4th restart. lmao. tysm!

[merry pebble]

well i didnt do anything but you are welcome 😂

[unkempt marten]

Ashlands boney boys are resistant to pierce damage?

[merry pebble]

yep

[unkempt marten]

oh for God sake..

[nocturne wolf]

Normal skeletons are too

[pastel latch]

I've killed like 10 of them too, no trophy, must be a 5% chance and a wiki typo

[unkempt marten]

Well and there i was hoping to do entire game only spear

[pastel latch]

spear is worst weapon type imo

[unkempt marten]

spear is bussing untill you have to kill anything resistant to pierce

i once did run where i used spear only up untill Plains (because there is no upgrade from fang spear and in mistlands i became mage)

fighting bonemass was the most miserable thing, i had to recall 7 times to base because my spear broke

i lvl up spears from 20 ish to 47

[river forge]

yeesh

[storm inlet]

guys

does the enemies get prgresevly more stong?

like they get stronger how much time passes

[vocal rivet]

No.

[nocturne wolf]

No, but killing bosses allows stronger enemies to spawn at night in certain biomes

[paper marsh]

I mean, use fenris if his fire scares you

[glass parrot]

Finally found a howling cavern

[pliant hatch]

Don't forget to clap at the Wolfman. 😉

[glass parrot]

Was I supposed to do that before or after I killed him?

[nocturne wolf]

Are howling caverns any good for collecting fenris hair?

[pliant hatch]

Depends at what you used to kill him.

[paper marsh]

Same as a regular one I think

[glass parrot]

I used the brutal slayer. It’s never too late to do hildir’s quest

[storm inlet]

ty blobic

[nocturne wolf]

So they aren’t any good for collecting fenris hair

[vapid hearth]

Gonna be heading off to raid a Sealed Tower
I hope my Carapace and Fang spears will be able to survive through whatever gauntlet awaits me there

[pliant hatch]

I think they're actually worse as I found the Howling caverns being smaller as the Frost Caves.

Did you destroy all those banners as well? They usually generate a nice amount of Fenris hair on top of what you can get from those braids at the bottom of those banners or the occasional pedestal.

[nocturne wolf]

I know what I’m looking for but can never find much fenris hair in frost caves. I think it’s just terrible luck

[vapid hearth]

...something tells me I should prooobably come back to this sealed tower with a featherfall cape

[nocturne wolf]

Once you’re inside you’ll be fine

[pliant hatch]

Oozebombs and Bilebombs may be useful too.

[vapid hearth]

...wait, there's no entrance?
So am I supposed to Kool-Aid Man my way in?

[pliant hatch]

You're s'posed to use the knowledge of the game to get in. You know, setting up 2 workbenches, build ladders or stairs.....

Things like that.

[vapid hearth]

...ohhh, that explains the seemingly platform game-like layout of stairs I saw up above
Hmm, perhaps I could have five-headed my way in by bringing a stonecutter and just carving open an entrance

Okay, nevermind, stone's indestructible
No problem, I'll just dig my way in

[unkempt marten]

huh.. how do i deal with fire hazard before getting iron xD

[vapid hearth]

Wait, nevermind, it extends all the way down
Alright, time to chop some wood and climb up this tower

[vital ember]

I dont undderstand. why does the spawn greydwarf spawner command not work?

[nocturne wolf]

Surtlings are very weak. They wont do much damage and will die in a few hits

[unkempt marten]

noo, i mean making house with campfire will eventually burn down house, idk how to play around it before getting iron

technically Hildir would be savior here as well..

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t played with fire on but could you build the campfire in the centre of the room or even outside?

I don’t know how close to a build it needs to be

[unkempt marten]

ok nvm i have a idea

[tight yacht]

#building-screenshots message
anyone know why this is failing to support the stone?

did they adjust the strength of the wooden iron supports or something?

[vapid hearth]

...phew, I made it to the top. The fight at the top was intense
...and I have to make it all the way back down
And I only brought two stacks of food, because I thought the trip wouldn't outlast the serpent stew I ate

Okay, next time I try to raid one of these dungeons, I'm bringing poison bombs

[vagrant ravine]

i never played this game before, im looking for people to play with.

[vagrant ravine]

thanks

[vapid hearth]

I should probably kill every fuling on my way down, if only because I worry that defeating the berserker at the bottom or retrieving Hildr's sealed tower loot will destroy the iron gates containing the other fulings

Oh god, that black fuling looks fucking terrifying 😱
I bet I can't parry his attacks with only two foods (and only one of them being a health food)

[fair cairn]

why only 2 foods, you ran outa the third food?

[vapid hearth]

I thought this trip would not outlast the very rare and very elusive serpent stew I consumed at base

[fair cairn]

fair point

[thorn wren]

Giving 40% heat resistance on Flametal armor is a little troll. That lava kills you pretty much just as fast

[nocturne wolf]

It gives you enough time to jump which could save your life or make retrieving your items much easier

[thorn wren]

Death in 1 second to death in 1.5~ seconds xD

[foggy glacier]

FYI you can drop a portal on the little balcony outside the tower even before you clear it.

go home and get more food.

[velvet harbor]

i just got one shot by a two star lord reto.

[nocturne wolf]

He’s always got two stars

[velvet harbor]

one shot is insane though

i had 251 health and full flametal armor with upgrades

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have a flametal mace or frostner? Keep using the secondary attack and he won’t be able to touch you

[velvet harbor]

okay

[nocturne wolf]

Otherwise you could use well-timed jump attacks and rolls

[dusk scaffold]

is there a lfl/ltp chat

[vapid hearth]

Oh yeah, I left to get some food. I didn't bother plopping a portal near the tower because my Hildr portal is close enough to that sealed tower

[odd helm]

there's an LFG chat in #1024264966712340510

[dusk scaffold]

thanks

[rustic prawn]

Just got carrots and turnips!

[austere flame]

do i need iron pickaxe to mine silver or can i use bronze

[idle moon]

you need iron

[austere flame]

ty

[cinder echo]

can we talk about how bad this seeker soilder trophy grind is.. ive killed idk at least 50-75 soilders and only gotten 1 trophy from a 2 star..

[tight yacht]

will tar get "destroyed" once i drain the primary pit or will it always flow to some lower level?

[vocal rivet]

On average you should only get 1 per 20 soldiers so it's just bad RNG at this point.

Once you've drained a pit it won't produce any more tar. But the growths will continue to spawn.

[tight yacht]

so everything that is stuck in tar, even those below the level of the main pit, will be freed?

[hearty niche]

This belongs in bugs discussion, movin it there

[tight yacht]

yeah idk, ive dug this line all the way down to the ocean and its still not letting me get the last few items out

[signal bloom]

so.. is it normal for Ashlands to have an obscene amount of ZDO's? I'm getting serious lag on my landing zone

[finite lodge]

why does mistlands drop a black forest mineral

[signal bloom]

like 40k+ active ZDOs

[dapper token]

pretty convenient if you need copper and your main base is in the mistlands ig

[hearty niche]

? Copper?

[finite lodge]

yeah

[tight yacht]

man tar is just annoying af

is this stuff actually persistent on a given Z level? ive dug all the way down to the ocean on one side and its still hanging around

[outer spindle]

Copper to make forges to make blast furnace to smelt stuff remotely

[vocal rivet]

Dug down? You shouldn't need to do that. Just a channel a few metres from the pit.

[tight yacht]

yeah but there is stuff around the pit at lower height than the pit itself that is also stuck, and emptying the pit doesnt release those items

[outer spindle]

Why not raise the stuff out of the ground instead of draining the tar?

[tight yacht]

because that would be smart lol, ill try that

mans a genius

[slender rover]

so are charred fortresses not actuall guaranteed to contain a gem?

[vocal rivet]

No, though you'd be unlucky to get any at all.

[slender rover]

fortress 1: 1 gem
fortress 2: 1 gem
fortress 3: 0 gems

It's been a slog, lol

large quantities of flametal, but the absence of gems is really hampering the crafting

[thorn wren]

folks I built a chicken coop and they are laying eggs in the corners and all huddling mostly in the corners.
It makes collecting eggs kinda difficult. Any any how I can fix this?

[lofty girder]

My entire friend group and I ragequit, we are not having fun with ashlands, it's too hard for us lol

[azure yacht]

Lower the difficulty

[lofty girder]

meh maybe, but all of our stuff is somewhere on the shores of the ashlands, we've built (and broken 5) of those big boats, we're going to have to work up the motivation and materials to build a 6th

last boat got chewed to pieces by 2 ashlands serpents and 3 voltures going at it all at once, just absolute madness, this is why we ragequit

[tepid prawn]

I killed 2 serpents attacking my boat solo on my first landing, vultures also present, need to just kill them from boat quickly, you can always lower the difficulty settings

[lofty girder]

well I'm glad you're better at the game than us. Why don't you play it in our stead?

[thorn wren]

Honestly the spikey rocks are a bit obnoxious. The boat you are required to use is reasonably fast, but it is bulky and gets caught on those spikes CONSTANTLY. On top of that, it doesn't have that much health. On top of that the players can damage the boat... so while trying to kill vultures you'll kill your damn boat.
The fix is literally to spam workbenches on the spikes and repair the boat whenever possible.
But the fact of the matter is, it's really annoying to get around island to island in Ashlands.

The density seems fine for a small group. 3+ people.... But if I was doing Ashlands completely solo --- pretty sure this would have been a horrible experience.

Even thought I'm also confident it'd be doable solo, it's just very obnoxious

[tepid prawn]

I only had to plop down a workbench twice on spikes for my first landing, can be a bit rng where you end up etc on mob density. I was also lucky I found some stone ruins on a spike reasonably close to the mainland

[thorn wren]

it definitely depends on your mob RNG while sailing. My group's first time venturing into Ashlands we had 3 bonemaws and probably over a dozen Vultures before we landed on an island
and we found one reasonably quick

[tepid prawn]

not saying anyone is better etc, one thing that helped me was accepting my fate and not panicking, just carefully killing things and not hitting the boat

[tepid prawn]

3 would have probably "cooked" me solo, boat was at 15% after a fight with 2 and also some added vultures beforhand

[lofty girder]

we landed on the ashlands shore and were swarmed with 12-18 of those big skeleton things. I don't know what we could have done better or worse. One of the reasons we're so frustrated is because there's no longer a feedback loop of understanding "I could have done x better, I'll take the lesson learned to heart and be better next time." It just feels like "you lose, too bad!" and that's no longer fun.

[tepid prawn]

I recommend putting first portal on a spike a little way away from the actual main landmass, that way only have bonemaw and vultures to deal with to start

[azure yacht]

Translation: "If I could do it solo, then it means it's possible to do in MP. And you might even argue that it's actually easier because there's multiple people playing. I'm not saying professional and that I'm better than you"

[tepid prawn]

then you can also make a little bridge to next spikes etc and slowly assault the beach

[lofty girder]

You're right, I don't know what I'm thinking, I'll just get good

[tepid prawn]

I also recommend putting down ---3--- portals, no less than that, at one stage 2 of them got destroyed and I only had one left to come back to the actual landmass (before you have a proper safe beachhead)

[azure yacht]

I highly recommend calming down before interacting with other people...

Especially those trying to actually help you

[signal bloom]

somehow my 1 and only portal was safe on my ashlands breach

is there some type of aura around ruins that prevents wood from burning?

[paper marsh]

because mistlands recipes requires that mineral

[vocal rivet]

I think that one was 50/50.

[livid widget]

wtf is with the black blobs that just wrecked me

[vocal rivet]

Ah, you've found some Growths, have fun.

[livid widget]

ridiculous

[dim adder]

if you reallly dont want to deal with them some silver arrows make it easy

[merry sun]

Xd

[merry sun]

You guys experienced what is talking with a tilted Ashlands hater

[vocal rivet]

Well, he's one of them.

[tight yacht]

tfw a skeleton suprise meets frostner

[tepid prawn]

melee I use iron mace level 4 and drink a poison resist before fighting them, fire arrows work well too

they are weak to blunt and fire

[paper marsh]

tfw Geirhaffa raid meets seekers

I let other enemies kill the growths or throw my spear if needed 🤭

[idle moon]

had a Brenna raid during an assault on a fort on my playthrough

unsurprisingly the skellies were friends with the other skellies

[merry sun]

Growths arent that hard, the attacks are easily predictable

[tight yacht]

arent they undead too

frostner jacks them up and their attacks are super slow

[merry sun]

They are weak to Spirit, but they are more like an organic mass than everything

[tepid prawn]

they are not weak to spirit

[pliant hatch]

Fire and frost are good elements to deal with them.
I've taken them out with fire and frost arrows and the ranged distance gave me enough time to avoid that spitting attack they did.

[merry sun]

No?

[tepid prawn]

they are neutral to spirit, resistant to frost

weak only to blunt and fire

[merry sun]

Ah they only got weak to blunt, ye

[tight yacht]

almost done with the stone pillar tower

[merry sun]

The fire weakness makes so much sense

Never searched about growths

[tepid prawn]

the easiest to fighting them in melee is iron mace, chugg a poison resist mead and pop bonemass (they do blunt and poison damage)

iron mace does more damage than frostner to them

[merry sun]

At normal game the only thing i think its worth it is the resist mead

[broken loom]

how does one use a whitelist for valheim with console users?

whats the ID do i have to use for console users?

[tepid prawn]

unless you want to feel like a god when fighting them ^^, you can fight them however you want

[livid widget]

I am wet.

[lofty girder]

I mainly just came here to vent, I was pretty frustrated. I've come to accept that this game simply isn't for me or my friends.

[vocal rivet]

I dunno, give it another go when you've had a little break.

[lofty girder]

we put the game on easy/peaceful mode and gathered our stuff. This is 100% not how the devs intended for the game to be played though, since this isn't the default setting.

I judge the game based on how the devs intend it to be played

and their default settings... just not for me

[azure yacht]

There must be a name for those moments when you die 100 times to a certain situation and after giving it yet another go you actually manage to overcome it almost flawlessly and then think "wait, was that it?"

[lofty girder]

I think victory was doable if I threw myself at it enough times, but my time is worth a lot more than the devs think it is, and I think that's the main reason I don't recommend it to my friends. There's so much stuff like not taking metal through portals, grindiness, having to wander around for hours to find certain things on the map, the astronomical odds of finding the merchant, etc. I really feel like this game doesn't respect my time.

[vocal rivet]

You know you can just change world modifiers to allow metal through.

[lofty girder]

yeah, and we did, but like I mentioned, I judge the game based on what the devs intend it to be

[vocal rivet]

And there are TEN potential locations for Haldor (and Hildir).

[lofty girder]

that's still tiny compared to how absolutely massive the world is

[vocal rivet]

The devs intend for some people to want different settings, there's no shame in using them.

[thorn wren]

Not being able to travel through portals with metal is exceptionally silly. It just artificially increases the game time several times over

[vocal rivet]

No, it just encourages you to get used to sailing.

That or build mini-bases to do your smelting at your mine site.

[mossy river]

I'm not one to tell people how to pace the games for themselves with regard to whether to use that slider. But what you're saying isn't true at all in terms of gameplay progression. Bring forge materials to metal sources, not the other way around. On my most recent playthrough, my first iron forge was just a roof built off the side of a swamp crypt.

[thorn wren]

You have to do ample sailing even with metal being allowed through. The oceans are pretty much completely empty until Ashlands.

[thorn wren]

That's fine but it doesn't really allow you to build a permanent home--- or you need to set more forward bases and it still becomes a hassle to transport things to the new biome you are conquering.
There is nothing wrong with playing that way, but it is unquestionably more time consuming, not a little more. A LOT more.

[vocal rivet]

Yes, that's the intention. The forward bases things.

[mossy river]

No that's totally wrong, it's less time consuming

[thorn wren]

That is not possible.

[mossy river]

It's not hard to get six copper to a swamp to make a forge. And whatever the other little stuff is you need for the forge accessories

[lofty girder]

It's either the dev's way or the highway. If you don't want to play the game how they intended, take a hike, as they say

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely in any way shape or form.

That's literally what the world modifiers are for. You've just chosen not to use them for some reason.

[mossy river]

You're going to spend way more time figuring out how to put that iron on a boat. Meanwhile you need 10 wood or whatever to put the roof over the forge on the side of the swamp crypt.

[slender rover]

Foomf, I do understand your Ashlands frustration.

It is a very different experience from the rest of the game, and while I have loved the snot out of Valheim for 800+ hours, I am finding myself repeatedly frustrated with this latest biome because it has totally removed many of the things some players loved about earlier biomes and made it an exceptionally combat heavy experience where exploration is exceedingly difficult and horde ambushes are common. I don't know what to suggest, but just acknowledging that I hear your frustration too.

[lofty girder]

Oh no I'm using them, but I feel dirty for using them. They're cheats. They're not the intended way to play the game. I dont' feel like I"m playing valheim anymore.

[thorn wren]

But having an established furnace and blast furnace, forge, workbench, etc all established at a single location allows faster crafting and creation of intermediate materials. It is simply impossible to claim it DECREASES your playtime to build more forward bases to process things in numerous locations.
Again nothing wrong with playing that way, but fact of the matter is it takes much more time over the course of the playthrough

[vocal rivet]

They. Are. Not. Cheats.

They're literally there for people like you with perhaps less free time or less tolerance for 'the grind'.

[mossy river]

You're doing something wrong. Centralized production is not faster. Just keep everything on the other side of a portal that's not metal.

There are a lot of pacing issues that I think are entirely valid. I think Haldor is awful, finding Yagluth can be excessively frustrating, and on and on. But on all my playthroughs, I've never found the metal issue to be difficult to overcome at all.

[thorn wren]

If I can mine out a crypt and walk through a portal with my 30~ iron scraps and toss them immeidately into a furnace, the bars are then already at my ALREADY established crafting stuffs --- multiply this to all materials. This is something I set up for copper.
I did not have to create this for iron.
The same applies to the blast furnace going forward etc etc

each time I visit a new swamp to farm out crypts, I need to set up nothing other than a workbench and a safe portal. Grind the area and return to my base
it is ridiculous to think that slows your playtime. I don't get it

[mossy river]

I'm confused are we talking about sailing or to centralized production versus establishing a small forge at a swamp black forest border? Because if we're talking about turning on metal through portal then obviously that's the fastest.

[thorn wren]

Both? You have to sail a lot more if portals don't allow metal.

[pliant hatch]

Well, that was the intention of the devs in the first place.
The ability to portal metals was only added after too many people complained about it and a mod sorting that problem.

[mossy river]

You don't really need to sail more if you turned off metal through portals. You just need to use local resources better. What do you need when you enter your first good swamp, 20 copper and 5 tin to get the forge started with the attachments and whatnot? That's not a lot to throw in your boat while you're looking for that swamp, or to forage from a neighboring black forest if there is one. It's just never a problem for me.

[hearty niche]

Playing with the fire mechanic on a new game. A single fire arrow can do a lot of damage!

[mossy river]

Then you can break down your swamp forge and sail around ready to set up shop wherever.

[thorn wren]

if you are "using local resources better" then you are grinding more in each area, whereas my centralized base already has the things I farmed from previous zones collected in one location.
I honestly am battled you think this doesn't effect playtime.

[lofty girder]

A lot of furniture requires metals, so not being able to bring materials for furniture through portals kind of feels like punishing me for wanting to build and be creative

[vocal rivet]

There's a creative mode for those wanting to be creative.

Again, the options are all there. You're just choosing not to use them.

[mossy river]

We're talking about less than 30 total metal entering the swamp. So that's not any large grind. Then you don't even need to gather it from there on if you don't want, you can just carry as much as you want in your longship and it's already there wherever you want.

[lofty girder]

I'm just criticizing the intended playstyle

sometimes I want to fight monsters, sometimes I want to decorate my house. Most games let me do either one depending on my mood. A game should not make me change game settings depending on if I feel like decorating or if I feel like going out and about and adventuring/killing things.

[vocal rivet]

THIS game lets you do that.

I'm out.

[signal bloom]

will askvins not tame.. if there is another nearby?

i've got 2 in a pit and no matter what they will not start taming.

[idle moon]

2 in a pit will work so long as they have food and aren't alert/aggro on anything

[outer spindle]

Shouldn't affect the taming but you need to seperate asap cause one will murder the other immediately when tamed

[azure yacht]

If I wanted to remove a runestone with devcommands, how could I do it with forcedelete?

I've never used that command before

[signal bloom]

can't tame simultaneously like lox I guess lol

[crisp portal]

Just played Ashlands today... But do they (asksvin) simply disapear if lost aggron on you?

[vocal rivet]

I don't believe you can.

[tacit crown]

I tamed two at once, you can

[outer spindle]

No, but they run all over the place and have a very long aggro duration so it proably sprinted back

[crisp portal]

I was been demolished by a cluster of enemies and when I took care of some, the asksvin just dissapeared

[azure yacht]

Realized too late this runestone is right in the middle of where I need to place stuff...

Now I have to redesign the structure in that case

[naive abyss]

Anybody just receently download the game and trying to play with me i just started?

[signal bloom]

ah nice! i've been trying to tame these 2 for over an hour and a half... no hearts will pop idk wtf is wrong

are they just bugged?

[tacit crown]

What are ya feeding them?

[crisp portal]

Maybe is the food, no? Idk which one is tho... and way tame? tame what?

[signal bloom]

every type of berry

[idle moon]

they only eat ashlands berries

[signal bloom]

from ashlands

[crisp portal]

are asksvin tamable then? deheck... noice

[tacit crown]

Not sure then, mine tamed fine

[idle moon]

mine also tamed fine, had 2 in a pit

[signal bloom]

yeah I had tamed one fine.. then a blob blew it up

and now the replacements won't tame

[crisp portal]

Another question, is it normal to defeat a few enemies and when look back a lot more had spawned?!

[tacit crown]

Yes sir

[vocal rivet]

A LOT more, no. But if the zone had reached its cap for that type of mob then the next time it tries to spawn more it can do.

[crisp portal]

thx. I was not expecting to have them back* on my way back, at least they are really slow... those (charrol? what are their names?)

[naive abyss]

Anybody tryna join my world pretty new looking for someone else to go with

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510

[signal bloom]

fixed the taming, had to log out and in

[crisp portal]

I really liked the environment of the Ashlands; but at first, it was too overwhelming... DO enemies spawn at every noise made?! even if the spawner was gone? cause duuude it is nonstop

[hearty niche]

I made liberal use of spawn suppression

[vocal rivet]

Spawners do not work by sound, no.

[crisp portal]

Old method? I will too, they are relentless...

[slender rover]

I think I am gonna terraform and spawn suppress the entire boss arena, because being swarmed every 30 seconds in regular exploration is bad enough, cannot imagine it during the boss fight

[idle moon]

I really liked Ashlands too, my main complaints were

1. Too much crap pierce resistant
2. not enough gems to go around for the 6-7 of us in our playthrough

[crisp portal]

I destroyed one of those and yet, more of them keep approaching with their limping creep walk...

[hearty niche]

That and Hugin says it's a war so as soon as I get stone portals, I bring springs over and build some ballistas.

Then I had a well-defended area I could retreat to as needed

[crisp portal]

Btw, my first 2 death was because of the water.... (and not drowning)

[slender rover]

I was saying earlier, the gem thing is a bit of a kick in the teeth. A lot of the new gear is locked behind them, but the RNG and limited number of fortresses definitely hurts. 3 fortresses conquered and only two gems at all so far, this ratio is seriously problematic if it keeps up

[hearty niche]

Get boiled?

[outer spindle]

They really should halve the number of Flametal ores and double the gem loot from fortresses

[crisp portal]

yeah... didn't know hehehe I fighting a Maw and was barely on shore, but it cooked me alive anyway (twice)

[slender rover]

Yeah that would work. Or up the spawn rate to guarantee at least 2 per fort, with a low chance for more.

[signal bloom]

is the intent to use wards to stop ashlands spawns I wonder?

or perhaps beartraps, beartraps EVERYWHERE

[crisp portal]

Is the old flametals useless (still)? I had a pack of it

[outer spindle]

Useless

[outer spindle]

Use campfires instead

[crisp portal]

they should allow it to be placed on item standings as mere decorations then... too bad

[slender rover]

The gem thing is kinda weird because Ashlands is so small, and every other biome provides a huge number of locations for critical resources, but this locks the one thing required for the new weapons behind RNG in a very limited selection of locations, and you need them for their upgrades too.

I don't know that I will see enough in my solo world, nevermind I have no idea how this would fare with 4+ people

[idle moon]

maybe they could remove the need for the gems for upgrading the new weapons once you've already made them

[slender rover]

I confess I was very surprised to see them needed for the upgrades, it's a weird balancing choice given the limitations

[slender rover]

Do they survive the ash storms?

[verbal radish]

They can . As for gem may be the dev should add a new enemy that may drop it ? Like a fire rock golem ?

[slender rover]

Make them a Valkyrie drop, those things are bad enough to fight, lol

[idle moon]

or you could get it from the flametal pillars somehow if you mine it all

[hearty niche]

Make the flametal pillars like tootsie pops and if you mine to the center you get a shiny gem treat.

[slender rover]

Or stick gems at the top, but if you mine it the whole pillar immediately begins it's sinking animation on the first hit

[verbal radish]

It still very limit though with lavathian . They are not infinite source and somehow rare...for me at least.

[verbal radish]

That is a good one . Those valkyries are obnoxious to fight without magic lol.

[thick lynx]

so whats the OFFICIAL DISCORD take on spinesnap vs draugr fang? im reading a lot of FUD onl/ine about spinesnap using too much more stamina to be worth it

[idle moon]

think spirit dmg on spinesnap puts it ahead in Ashlands

[slender rover]

As all I have at my disposal is mistlands magic and it takes a while, I have actually found Valkyries easier to manage with the heavy Flametal armor, Mistwalker, and spine snap

Eventually I will get some more gems and get to play with the new magic weapons

[crisp portal]

I don't know how many mobs ashlands do have, but it seems way more than mistlands. So I think that some heavy-HP mobs should have a chance to drop them gems (I have not seem them yet, though)

[slender rover]

pre-Ashlands, put Spinesnap in a chest or on a item mount and forget it exists.

It is useful in Ashlands though

[verbal radish]

They swarm the whole biome lol

[unkempt socket]

omg now i so want to see a Rock Fire Golem!! Ill sign the petition!! This is a genius thought that must become reality!!!

[idle moon]

just what Ashlands needs, more giant scary crap

[crisp portal]

I know it is not related to ashlands, but I have always wondered why do the ice golem, made of SILVER, that is found in the mountains it is not in the same "family" of the mountains mobs...

[slender rover]

Could make it like the golems in mountains and have it be hostile to everyone

[outer spindle]

I actually used the Arabalst for sniping Gjall and upgrade to Ashfang in the Ashlands to use silver arrows

[slender rover]

Hunh.

I didn't think of silver arrows

Do they actually help?

[verbal radish]

Spineap have built in spirit damage

I dun use silver arrow . It is expensive type of arrow due to silver is not infinite .

[azure yacht]

You mean the summoned troll?

[verbal radish]

Nah . Mountain golem but on FIRE .

[azure yacht]

That just sounds like "let's re-skin yet another enemy but give it a different name" again

One should be enough

[crisp portal]

Those lava bloobs are it, right?

[unkempt socket]

yes!!! Like if a Golem and a Surtling had a giant baby

[verbal radish]

Bonemaw serpent

[azure yacht]

I was thinking in summoned troll but that makes it two lol

[crisp portal]

a reskin of oozes and blobs... so is the serpent... however I like the idea, but of a new mob that is giant and though as ice golem

[azure yacht]

Three if you count this one but they at least feel different just because they have an extra attack.

Summoned trolls literally have a different appearance and name only and the rest is the same

[verbal radish]

They dun need to use the same golem model . May be a giant walking stone armor that the previous owner use as weapon of war against Odin.

[crisp portal]

what is this summoned troll?

[azure yacht]

Same AI, sounds, attacks...

[verbal radish]

Now they bounded to protect the ashland ruin.

[unkempt socket]

something that is scary that drops a gem here or there

[outer spindle]

It takes like 5 to make a full stack and do like 20 spirit damage which is a fully upgraded spinesnap. If you have excess of silver and don't have anything to upgrade then you should use it.

[crisp portal]

Guys I turned off hughin (the crow) in the setting, and have not turned it back on. If I do, will it still give me some tips of the thing I've already seen ?

[verbal radish]

Either way , i hope the dev consider having strong rare mob drop gem...

[slender rover]

Some mechanism to provide more of them anyway

[crisp portal]

I have not got any of it, but I agree. xD

[verbal radish]

Now i am shopping for a fortress that i can claim as my base. But the 2 i saw is in the middle of lava lake.

[slender rover]

I own three forts now. They're...okay

[crisp portal]

are those "fortresses" on the shallow waters worth basing at the beginning? I mean it is safe-ish and stable, aint it?

[slender rover]

Right up until a Morgen or Valkyrie drops in to party

[verbal radish]

Spam camp fire everywhere

[pliant hatch]

What I found most useful for a landing site is the area where the Dverger have an outpost.
The walls are making it pretty enclosed, they can help you with fighting off monsters and once they're gone you only have to destroy the ward to smash the crates for some useful resources.
Set up a shield generator and a portal there and you got quite a safe base before exploring the rest of the area.

[outer spindle]

They seem to have very low health. I would take the largest one with the most plants to use as a farm and look to take the actual military ones inland with the indescructible wall

[crisp portal]

ok ok... thx. I was planning on use them to settle and a quick portal back until I go further in the biome...

[verbal radish]

I was lucky to land at a ruin at the shore that have those vineberry on the wall. I turned the ruin into a dock

[crisp portal]

I have no found any, yet...

[slender rover]

Find a big rock within jumping distance of shore and surround it with raised earth walls

[outer spindle]

I have a workbench + portal in every ruin half a day's journey apart since its so dangerous to travel at night.

[crisp portal]

enemies still dont spawn in the water right? (other than flying creature like vultures)

[slender rover]

And Bonemaw serpents

[azure yacht]

That is assuming there is a dvergr camp nearby and it's close to the shore at all

[verbal radish]

Do valkyrie only spawn near fortress ?

[paper marsh]

No

[short plover]

is anyone else struggling to find any dragons seems like theres less and less

[tacit crown]

Drake is a hard man to find

[azure tiger]

Anyone know where I can find ppl to game with kinda new to discord

[clear comet]

they're found only on deeper lands, not coasts

as long you're like not near coasts they'll spawn there

hello hello, some of us are playing valheim and want to invite some people in. we are pretty chill, we come to play togeter whenever we can, no pressure

if you are interested dm me

[next osprey]

join us :)) we are starting a new world

[spare dragon]

Hey quick question, started a new playthrough and taming boars but just realised, I can't kill them until I get the butcher's knife is that right?

[tacit crown]

I believe with friendly fire on you can shmack em

[spare dragon]

I didn't even think of that!

[tacit crown]

Or you could burn them 😃 sky is the limit son

[spare dragon]

Maybe not burn them ;-;

[tacit crown]

Valheim ain't a place for morality!

Light em up

[spare dragon]

Gonna personally introduce the 'Morals & Values' update myself 😠

[next osprey]

not a bad idea

[frail roost]

Nah we the baddies

[tight yacht]

Does butcher knife one shot tamed animals?

[shy marlin]

Not sure if it can one shot the new 2* version of the ashlands tame but i think it can 1 shot lox

don't quote me on that tho i'm only like 50% confident on that

Haven't messed around with tames in a year+

[spare dragon]

It doesn't with lox

it does like near 1k damage

[shy marlin]

Does knife skill impact the butcher knife tho?

[spare dragon]

I'm not sure, though my knife skill is near non existent

[shy marlin]

ye knife skill impacts damage done

just went and tested, level 1 did like 250-350 ishdmg, 100 did 1k

[cinder echo]

just finished filling an entire reinforced chest with etir ahead of ashlands.. feelsgoodman

[verbal radish]

Is lava in ashland act like tar pool or like normal water if you dig deep enough near sea level ?

[viscid tangle]

So with Lox you can ride them but there's nothing that can pull wagons besides players?

Like if me and my bud go on a ore journey we just gotta cart back, no workaround?

[mystic gale]

I noticed that carts are really useful if you build something town sized as your base instead of a single house. Also now that ive been playing on a 10 player server building roads leading to harbour was a really good idea to make pulling carts easier. And finally your running skill and speed greatly affects your ability to pull a cart up the stairs for example, the fenris items set is cart pulling bis.

Also makes it easier to build huge structures as you can pull a cart full of stone and wood with you everywhere. And assorting stuff is also easier if you have your inventory scattered across multiple buildings.

[viscid tangle]

They should add a Lox carriage imo

[lone jungle]

Saddlebags for lox!!!

[mystic gale]

I also kinda want that but also it might effect the gameplay meta in an unwanted way. Like it could be too easy? Or you wouldnt want to do anthting without a lox. I feel carts are already filling that need to move heavy stuff around without being too easy.

[regal spoke]

Can't yeet a lox off a mountain either 😉

[mystic gale]

Has any1 tried to harpoon a friend and help him pull a cart?

Like you could then ride a lox for max torque.

[warm sandal]

you can help by pushing the cart from the rear

i had boar help push at times they were aggroed at me and pushed the cart i was pulling along nicely for a long time 😄

[mystic gale]

Oh, i usually just jump on the cart and make him help me move

I wonder if you could add friendly npc:s to this game. Similar to minecraft villagers with daily routines and such

I really like that feature in minecraft and it makes building villages so satisfying

Please help me! I'm doing a weird new playthrough on a partially explored map with an old character where I reset the discovered things etc... hear me out, I am building a minimum of 1 big base per biome, please help me decide: A) Moder Mountain near my swamp base, 1 island over, 13 crypts discovered, 100% surrounded by plains but small strip so I can make it across for now (root set level 4). 2 frost caves on there too, no other bosses nearby, medium sized mountain B) Moder Mountain, far away but close to Hildir (my Hildir is on a 3 small meadows / plains island chain which is a nice location in and of itself) mountain has 5 frost caves and is very big. Only 3 crypts in a nearby swamp, not all surrounded by plains, got black forest on the far side. will be much more silver though because of the mountain size. a Yagluth and a Bonemass location are relatively close (bosses very spaced out on this map, but I love sailing anyway) Do I make the MOUNTAIN FORTRESS at the A or B mountain?

also haven't actually even killed bonemass but have found 3 silver deposits with stagbreaker and got level 2 frostner and maxed silver shield

[vivid moat]

LF Eng/Euro server to join at x2 portal all

[steel wadi]

Can somone explain to me Cross-Tailwind, is that where the wind is coming directly from the port/starboard sides. or is it part way between port/starboard sides and the stern?

[river forge]

I hope the next biome has a tameable creature that actually follows you about

Lox don't follow, weird frog thing from ashlands doesn't follow

kinda lame

[mystic gale]

Wolf???

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 is the place for that.

[vivid moat]

Thanks Judge 🙂

[rain flare]

Meowning

[rain flare]

I would suggest A purely for the iron.

Silver is a no brainer since you use it in a very small number of recipes.
And you said you like sailing, so getting to Hildir and the bosses won’t be too much of a pain

[tepid prawn]

Thanks that’s a good take, long term probably a better option and for later the plains fully surrounded is also good

[obsidian fog]

Any dedicated european server here that could use another player? Im in mountain/plains gear but the dedicated server i was on crashed and disapeared. Looking for one with same ish progression. Pm me if so 🙂

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 Is the place for that, brows at your leisure or post something yourself.

[buoyant ether]

im new to the game but i rly want to get into the game and find ppl to play with

ive only dabbled the first 30-60mins to get a feel for the game

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 Is the place to look for people to play with. Browse at your leisure or make a post yourself.

[verbal radish]

I find it funny that bonemaw meat have no new dishes unlike serpent meat which after cooking it will give you serpent stew recipe

[burnt rune]

Meanwhile I can't even decide if I want to take the effort to find new people to play with after realising none of my old gamerbuddies play any of the same games as me anymore. Just been going strong solo.

[verbal radish]

I feel something missing from ashland.

[merry sun]

Make the Fortress in the First one, and get a portal in the second

[verbal radish]

I went to a fort , they send out 2 star warrior with a bunch of archer dude and a valkyrie .

Dunno how they managed to get outside of the fort , the bone dude that is.

[buoyant ether]

I MADE A POST ON THERE

🥺

[tepid prawn]

thanks, will definitely need another portal hub

[worthy turtle]

do trophies serve a purpose beyond the forsaken power ones and just cosmetics?

[pulsar mortar]

Can I use pickaxe to damage inner fort door?

[burnt rune]

gotta need a portal hub for all the other portal hubs right?

[opal prairie]

Some trophies are needed for weapons or armor.
Others are needed for fishbait.
Most are useless though beyond decoration.

[worthy turtle]

okay got it

is there like a website showing what trophies are used for weapons or armor

[opal prairie]

Kinda: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki
You will need to check the armor, weapons and fish-bait though to find them.
There isn't a list of useful trophies if I'm not mistaken.
I toss most of the leftover trophies in the obliterator.

[merry sun]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Trophies?so=search

There is the utilities in their "uses"

[buoyant ether]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1247116858457587732

[fair cairn]

i usually keep a stack ofeach trophy unless the trophy is used in a consumable recipe than i keep like 5 stacks

[warped wing]

hello guys

i'm having issues with stability of a bridge i've been making. i decided to make it out of stone. i got half way then it didn't want to go anymore. i'm in post bronze age/early iron age.

[pliant hatch]

You might consider using wood-iron beams as a frame.
Attach that to the land at your starting point(s) and put the stone around it.

[fair cairn]

problem is how long that bridge is as well

[timid heart]

Oafff, Just got to the plains. Didnt know about deathskito's. I now know. xD

[opal prairie]

The root harnessk kinda negates them. The pierce resistance on it is what helps so much, you need to watch out for ||fulings with torches|| though and ||shamans|| since you are vulnerable to fire with it on.

[finite lodge]

i thought wisp torches could clear the mist, i feel bamboozled

[opal prairie]

They clear it a tad and are pretty visual from a ways away so it can certainly be used to light a frequent traveled path, to a dungeon you need to visit regularly perchance.

[vapid hearth]

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Deep North will set itself apart from the Mountains.
Hopefully the armor will make wolf packs a complete joke by that point

[tepid prawn]

does anyone have the numbers for max all crafting stations, how much copper tim bronze do I need? not concerned about iron as thats nearby

for mountain fort

[opal prairie]

Workbench: 3 bronze
forge: 16 copper, 2 bronze
cauldron: 10 tin, 5 copper (2 silver)
fermenter: 5 bronze
obliterator: 4 copper
black forge: 13 copper

I think thats all.

[finite lodge]

what do the pickaxes being stuck in the wall mean

[plush umbra]

it means the spot was abandoned by dorf

[hearty quest]

Spoiler but fader was really ez

[pastel latch]

were you mage or melee?

[hearty quest]

Melee but we had a 1 mage and one other melee

So 3 people

[pastel latch]

I was melee and the boss wasnt that hard but it did take bloody ages because he covers his own ground with fire 90% of the time

though the fire DOT did skyrocket a few times out of seemingly nowhere during the fight which killed me once and almost a few times more, I have still no idea how that happened

it was on hardmode though

[verbal radish]

is battering ram the only way to destroy the inner tower gate of the fortress ?

[pastel latch]

catapult is the other method

or just hitting it with a weapon for half an hour straight

[hasty mulch]

We found him easy, but we bred like two stacks of asksvin eggs by the arena ahead of time. Totally stomped him.

[pastel latch]

ah lmao

I thought of doing that too but we didnt find any good askvins to breed until after

although I do realise now how easy it is to actually make an askvin army damn

[hasty mulch]

We got a little lucky and tamed a one star asksvin early on

[pastel latch]

we didnt know we could tame them until near the end

I kinda wrote of the boss with askvin idea because they cant follow you but honestly just throwing eggs near the boss arena is easy enough to make up for it

but also because a 1-star askvin still gets 4 shotted by a warrior

[zealous mango]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the epic loot mod works properly?
I don't see any way to improve things in the forge, maybe it's only possible from a certain table level?

Please give me tips

[paper marsh]

I'd ask in #mods-discussion , they're more likely to know

[zealous mango]

Ok 😉 Thank you so much 😉

[tacit crown]

Stop winking so aggressively

[zealous mango]

Oh I'm so sorry xD

[elfin delta]

Why did you change my nickname ):

[merry pebble]

it was most likely something inappropriate

[opal prairie]

Ask Smiffe he is the likely culprit and what asatru said.

[elfin delta]

To be honest, I don't feel like writing to anyone...

[opal prairie]

Then don't.

[vocal rivet]

What's wrong with 'Hackkum'?

Oh, now I see. Yeah, that would be why.

[fair cairn]

yea that previous name was asking for it

[frozen fable]

So how about those Ashlands

[south crypt]

Hello, question about the goblin camps, if I clear their camp, will they spawn there after a while? Or should I play other camps?

[merry pebble]

no, the villages dont respawn

[south crypt]

Understood thanks

[woeful yacht]

They're pretty cool toasty

[grave fulcrum]

Managed to tame 2 1star askvins on two separate occasions. And then valk would immediately show up and rush around the hole and kill it. Very discouraging to tame more. 🥹

Also tried to keep breeded askvin in thr fortresses, but they also make a wreck whenever a valk fly in. And destroyed all my boxes🥹 then tried to keep them in meadows base moats, they just disappeared into a nearby black forest in a dew days.. and now no more eggs.

Does anyone have tips on how to keep very active large pets?

[tiny tiger]

Finally defeated bonemass

[vocal rivet]

Pens made out of terrain work well for Lox, presume the same would be true for Asksvin.

[tiny tiger]

Mountains is my favourite part of the game so I’m planning to spend a little more time this time before plains

[teal tiger]

I need a second to vent here, lmao.
I spent all day building a new house before venturing off to Ashlands to test magic for the first time. Got my butt kicked, unsurprisingly, as my magic skills are at zero. So what happens when I respawn at base with my Staff of the Wild (which I'm still not used to) equipped? Seekers. IN MY MEADOWS BASE. So what does my idiot brain do? Cast Staff of the Wilds. What do the the roots and Seekers proceed to do? Demolish my new base I just frickin' spent 5 hours on. 😤

[tiny tiger]

Are the seekers dead atleast?

[teal tiger]

Very dead.

[tiny tiger]

A win is a win

[teal tiger]

My man. I appreciate your outlook. You're right, a win is a win.

[tiny tiger]

Plus, all the resources are still there, and you can redesign any sections you may have found to not like in the short time the base was fully built

[thorn crater]

Hi everyone. New Valheim player here. I'm hoping to find a team to play the game from start to finish

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[smoky quarry]

if Building was a skill, i`t be at 200

[prime phoenix]

[ornate sigil]

And the hammer would almost never break/use any stamina.

[frigid gust]

I mean... a hammer takes no resources to make duplicates of, a single click to repair, and it will still last half a day of building at least if you are working hard with it. You need to go get materials more often than you need to repair your hammer, just repair it when you resupply.

[crisp portal]

I think they should add the skill, though. just to reduce stamina costs (I believe we all eat weaker food when at base) And also add gardening for farming, just to reduce stamina as well xD that would be nice

[frigid gust]

Hildir's clothes reduce stamina usage with the hammer, hoe and cultivator. Just change your outfit 😉

[fossil delta]

Which biome is Hildir to be found in?

[brisk slate]

im too lazy to play on new seeds

but old seed have too many mobs with modded stats, and it kinda fuk my gameplay

imagine full mistland set getting oneshotted by a 0star deathsquito

[vocal rivet]

Meadows from 2000m out.

[tiny tiger]

God damn my moder mountain has well over 400 silver on it

Im trying to figure out how the hell im gonna bring it all back to base

[fair cairn]

cart, gravity, side of mountain, longship

[brisk slate]

cart

i once mine an entire mountain, make a mountain rod while transport a full cart of silver back to my ship

[tiny tiger]

Yeah carts definitely the way to go it’s just the placement of it since all the veins are spread out

I guess I’ll place cart at the side I’m gonna push it down and then figure it out as I go along

still no meginjord 😦

[brisk slate]

you need to plan a road to connect all those spots if you can, bring a hoe with you, a couple pickaxe and a portal

[fair cairn]

you can either make multiple carts at each deposit and accumalate them as deposits are emptied or, tranfer them through chests or very slowly by foot

[tiny tiger]

See rn I’ve just been placing chests at each location as I mine it up and marking the amount of silver on the map

[fair cairn]

carts are pretty cheap aand easy to transport 1 deposit ata time to the main cart youl chuck of the side of the mountain

[tiny tiger]

luckily my base is just across the river from the mountain

but my boats all the way out at bonemass a couple islands away

[brisk slate]

build more boats

i have a base with like 20 portals, everytime i have to use boats i bring a portal with me, unless the its mistland, cuz i cant see anything there

[foggy glacier]

did the last update adjust the barley/flour ratio?

Either I'm forgetting to grab flour every second time or I'm getting twice as much as I used to.

[azure yacht]

World modifiers

[foggy glacier]

haven't changed any

[azure yacht]

Although I think it doesn't affect flour production output

What you put in the mills is what you should get

[foggy glacier]

that's what I thought too.

[azure yacht]

Could be desync issues too

[foggy glacier]

Maybe I'm just really forgetful.

feels like it's been at least 2 or 3 times recently.

[woeful yacht]

I built a roof over my asksvin in the ashlands 'cause I had the same issue

Not guaranteed, but it keeps them from climbing out and aggroing on every little thing

I have a wall around my meadows base, too... keeps them from wandering away

[grave fulcrum]

🥹 now need to go find another stared askvin

Have only seen one 2 star askvin in 100hours

[foggy glacier]

Nope, I'm just super forgetful.

[woeful yacht]

I'm scared to go find one

[grave fulcrum]

😂 Might be a 1-hit KO

[woeful yacht]

I have no doubts

But we're gonna try at some point!

[tiny tiger]

Okay first cart full of silver is successfully down a side of the mountain

[woeful yacht]

Maybe I'll ride a 1 star in to pull aggro, then ride back to safety screaming the whole way

[tiny tiger]

Got a nice 168 silver for my first trip and a bunch of rocks to continue building the base

[woeful yacht]

Hit a couple nodes, eh?

[tiny tiger]

Upon further inspection there’s atleast 500 silver on this mountain

[woeful yacht]

That's a lot

[tiny tiger]

It’s the mountain with the boss on it maybe that’s why

But I was surprised myself considering I’m playing with 1x resources

There’s a good 7 frost caves and the howling cavern too

Okay so my wishbone picked up something underneath the ground in my bonemass swamp but when I try dig down there’s water because it’s close to the coast

Is there something I’m missing or is this thing underground just unobtainable in the swamp

[paper marsh]

Is it?

[hearty niche]

There are mudpiles buried in the swamp similar to ones you find in the crypts but they rarely have much iron.

[paper marsh]

Mountains are usually filled with tons of silver in my experience

[teal tiger]

Be a Viking. Sail a Longship down the mountain.

[snow raptor]

does anyone have any tips on how I can improve my valheim builds?

[teal tiger]

Watch videos of people doing builds for inspiration. It's neat seeing what people can come up with. Personally, I like Phinqs.

[tiny tiger]

Seems kind of useless having them under the swamp where the water prevents you from reaching them

I think I just did the stupidest thing possible, I saw a coastal fuling village and thought I could just run in and grab the barley and flax

Completely forgetting I had no rest bonus and was wet..

[fair goblet]

Probably gonna take Yagluth for the first time today. Any tips?

[tiny tiger]

Attack him during his initial spawn, bring fire resistance, use the stone pillars for cover

[azure yacht]

It's a fully upgraded silver sword with a few left for cauldron upgrade

[merry pebble]

fire resist, frostern/silver sword/BMsword (one of those) padded armor or if you are confident you can use fenris, good food dont use arrows, they dont do much

[fair goblet]

Probably doing it with a buddy. He likes bows. Should one do ranged and the other melee, or should we both do melee?

[tiny tiger]

Ranged is pretty useless against him

[hearty niche]

Yeah ... I'm honestly not certain why they're there? I've found a few of them accidentally early game and in one case having a stonecutter at that stage was huge but that's the only time it's ever helped.

[merry pebble]

he is very resistant to pierce (0,25xdmg) so bow is really not a great choice

[fair goblet]

Egen with frost arrows?

[hearty niche]

If you ... play with fire? I I guess that is how you'd say it hahaha it could be useful for early game players who haven't beat the elder and want a stonecutter like that.

Then you can build fancy chimneys that don't result in your house burning down.

[merry pebble]

he is not weak to it, so it will just give him straight frost

[fair goblet]

Ah, got it.
I'll make my buddy a silver sword, then. Already planning on using frostner

[merry pebble]

silver sword does a bit more dmg but nothing significant, depends if you want to use that much silver 🙂

[hearty niche]

I have 2500+ hours in the game and on my most recent playthrough decided to do swords.

It takes like... 150+ silver to make a fully upgraded sword, right?

It was almost my whole stash, it was a ton.

[fair goblet]

So maybe silver arrows would be better...

[merry pebble]

yeah, 160

[tiny tiger]

Not worth the silver tbh

[hearty niche]

I'd concur w/ that. The spirit damage isn't worth the effort required for retrieving silver.

[merry pebble]

nah, frost will do more

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Frost_arrow
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Silver_arrow

you can compare

[fair goblet]

Got it. Frost arrows, it is. I'll use frostner and he'll use frost arrows

[hearty niche]

If I were fighting Yagluth with a ranged friend, I'd recommend they use frost arrows while I rock a silver sword.

[merry pebble]

sounds like a plan 🙂

[tiny tiger]

Frostner is good that’s what I used

[hearty niche]

Yeah Frostner's good for that fight too

[merry pebble]

second best, tied with BM sword in dmg iirc (while fighting Yag), silver sword does a bit more but yes, its great

[hearty niche]

Ranged friend packing a silver knife as a side arm just in case would be a good idea.

[fair goblet]

Oo, I like that. I have a bit of silver lying around. Might be enough

[hearty niche]

The silver knife is wildly underrated I think.

[rain flare]

Abyssal knife looks better in my personal, totally unbiased, and utterly irrelevent opinion 🤣

[fair goblet]

That reminds me, I needa find a leviathan...

[hearty niche]

It is pretty cool lookin

More chitin decorative items might be cool.

[merry pebble]

oh it indeed looks cool 😄 but i believe that statement was made in relation to stats not looks

[hearty niche]

Make some silverware or somethin, or boneware I guess

[paper marsh]

yea that's what I thought. One weapon from one mountain doesn't sound that incredible

Granted I rarely make expensive weapons like silver sword or frostner, so maybe I am underestimating the cost that goes into them

[rain flare]

Indeed 🤣
Hence the utter irrelevance of my input 😆

[tiny tiger]

Omg I managed to get my shit back from the village in just troll armor

[azure yacht]

But that sword will be really useful three biomes later.

And useful one biome later against the boss

[hearty niche]

Yeah I don't do the last upgrade on a lot of weapons until I have tons of resources because it's rare that the last upgrade is worth it.

[tiny tiger]

I didn’t have time to see what I missed from my corpse, but I have my armor tools and the barley and flax

Im pretty certain I just left the hammer on my corpse and maybe some frost resists

[fair goblet]

Yeah, I never fully upgraded the iron set.
Padded set and silver set, yes.

[rain flare]

Iron set is SUCH a troll

[azure yacht]

Pretty sure troll armor in a fuling village seems pretty irrelevant.

Might as well go naked

[rain flare]

[rain flare]

It will save you from 1 hit.

Sometimes that's all you need

[fair goblet]

It's ridiculous how much iron it takes! But it's all good. I set the world to 2x resources with that in mind, and it's still a grind

[daring grove]

anyone ever had problems with the Ore runneth evermore mod?

[shy marlin]

#mods-discussion would be a better place to ask

[daring grove]

thanks

[azure yacht]

Even at max level it's like 36 armor without counting cape.

Food is a lot more important

[shy marlin]

Ye, gonna attempt a no armor playthrough here after fighting/testing the final 3 bosses with no armor, food is the biggest factor.

[fair goblet]

Fully upgrading that padded set and getting to 100 total armor was very satisfying, though

Im sure it won't do me much good once I get to mistlands, though

[hearty niche]

Anyone else have boars in their world that randomly get the zoomies? Randomliy I see boars absolutely truckin through the world, like enough that I always look to see what they're running from.

Nothin. They're just runnin.

[rain flare]

I did this.
ONCE.
First playthrough…
NEVER AGAIN!!!

[merry pebble]

i really dont get the iron is so hard to gather thing, maybe when you play with multiple people it can become a problem but i think that goes for nearly every resource, i usually have enough for everything i need to make (granted i dont build much so i dont use any in buildings :D)

[rain flare]

It’s enough

[rain flare]

Oh it’s not that iron is hard to gather per say.
I just HATE the swamps 🤣
Also, I have better things to do with that iron than upgrade an armor set I will use for perhaps 1/8th of a playthrough

I’d rather invest in a set of root armor.

[hearty niche]

The fire setting is so much fun. Like it completely changes the relationship with fire in the game.

A couple errant fire arrows and suddenly the gd forest is burning down

Figured out fireplace. Before you could get away with 2m x 2m but that's way too close now. I think you can do 3m x 3m but it requires really precise placement of the fire - I ended up going 5m x 5m

[regal spoke]

I've been noticing 2x2x8 works but still smothers a little. When did smoke/fire change

#building-screenshots message what do you think?

[hearty niche]

I'm playing with the "flammable in all biomes" setting

that's not what they call it but I don't remember what its actually called

[regal spoke]

Tbf it works nice on a dedicated server. Acts as a timer prolonging burn time.

For a fireplace that is

[elfin delta]

"flammable in all biomes" how does that work?

[hearty niche]

Play with it and see for yourself! 🙂

I'm not trying to be a jerk, you just have to see how it works for yourself to really see it. Things catch on fire.

You can burn your house down.

It's a lot like Minecraft - if you deconstruct it before the fire spreads to that piece, you can keep it from spreading.

Or building with non-flammable materials

Odin wont leave me alone ive seen him 4 times in 3 minutes

[regal spoke]

You at your base taking it easy or building?

[swift portal]

Im just walking around in plains after building for a bit

[regal spoke]

Dad only visits me when I'm not making progress

[swift portal]

thats probably why hes visiting me i was chilling for a few in game days

[hearty niche]

only time the CEO ever sees me is when I'm out on smoke breaks

[regal spoke]

This is the way

[elfin delta]

of stone, for example, but you have to make a stonecutter, and that takes a long time.

[regal spoke]

But that build though, you stoked on it!?

[swift portal]

Yeah i made a base in the swamp a very big plains farm and a portal hub in meadows

just realized i was not making prog in over 30 in game days

[regal spoke]

Sick. A network of things

[elfin delta]

By the way, I have a question about farms, what are they?

[merry pebble]

they are... farms?

[regal spoke]

I've been there. Can spend 100s of hours just building. Only one that cares is Odin.

[elfin delta]

No, what farms are there and what can you get from them ?

[regal spoke]

Produce and livestock can be raised

[swift portal]

The building wasnt what took long it was just making sure all my crops are safe by digging around and making the area flat

[regal spoke]

Multiple vegetables and animals. All yielding relevant materials for recipes

[swift portal]

The portal hub was nice though i have 16 portals ready to be used

[regal spoke]

Dang tons of work for sure

[swift portal]

yeah alot but its alot cleaner than what i was using before

[regal spoke]

From experience with farms. I try to keep them raid free and also keep my crops a few meters in from the perimeter. Have had shamans come blowing poison breath through walls to kill plants

[swift portal]

yeah i put mines in the plains so only thing id be worried about it are lox

i digged around and raised the ground high so i should be fine

[regal spoke]

Minimal player base structures (1-2) to prevent raids. Had a drake raid destroy entire fields

[smoky quarry]

*when blobs attack your base but you`re 100% safe behind your walls *

[swift portal]

I dont have a base just my farm i havent decided where to put my base

[regal spoke]

Well player base structures are what's counted. I believe the minimum is 3 such pieces.

[swift portal]

My first base got raided by a bunch of star trolls so its best to say thats gone

and now ive just been living in anything

[elfin delta]

#building-screenshots message ?

[regal spoke]

There's a wiki page that lists all of the specific items that count as player base. I've had a few structures deleted from raids. Now I kite mobs until the raid ends. Islands are a sweet place for a base. Most raids won't spawn mobs on islands. Unless something changed.

[swift portal]

I know a good spot if island are good then

[thorn wren]

Is Ashlands laggy on the actual islands themselves for y'all?
I ask because I'm currently playing on a server with 2 other people, 3 total.
Everything was perfectly smooth until Mistlands (occassionally slightly laggy)
but in Ashlands it's like 20-30% of the time shit is like SECONDS behind what we are visually seeing, or just straight up teleporting. Sailing around the Ashland's waters or fighting on the boat etc etc always seems fine
The rest of the time it's fine --- checking my latency when things are clearly lagging and I'm not seeing any spikes so I'm curious if it is like that even in single player ATM or what

[regal spoke]

Some kind of high plateau unreachable by mobs?

[frail wagon]

You guys ever think were gonna be able to put wolfs and boars threw portals?

[thorn wren]

I sure hope something happens with taming in the future. It takes far too long (breeding as well) to ever make it worth it. Speaking purely from efficiency's perspective if you are just progressing through the game it is never worth it to tame/breed anything.

[frail wagon]

30 minutes to tame a wolf is crazy tbh

not to mention if you disturbe it its gonna take longer

[plush umbra]

by the time you got tame animals of a biome, youre already in the next one, with little need for the animal resources

[thorn wren]

Well, even worse is the same issue with crops --- the fact you have to be in the area in order to trigger breeding is absolutely ridiculous.

[frail wagon]

i mean id say its worth taming wolfs because they can help out during raids

[swift portal]

Its a small island that youd drown if you swim to it directly but its big enough to make a decent sized base

[thorn wren]

Assuming you have a base in the mountains or on an island connected to one where you can move the wolves sure

[plush umbra]

i tamed some chickens for the sake of it but i was never actually in my base long enough to get more than 10 glazed chicken in the end

[azure yacht]

Then you simply don't do it...

Done

[thorn wren]

No shit
