valheim-chat

[undone hedge]

I totally get that, I can admit that mods ruined vanilla for me. I’ll never want to play vanilla after all the qol

But don’t take that as me being like unhappy about it, I frikken love my mod list

[regal spoke]

Those are the mods that intrigue me. Qol are pretty sweet from what it sounds. I've been saving the mods experience for after completing full release. Just another way of prolonging the experience lol

[undone hedge]

I’m all about that as well.. I’ve been playing for maybe 5 months now, never even seen the mistlands

[regal spoke]

That's awesome

[undone hedge]

Bows before hoes, azu extended player inventory, and any and all build pieces if you absolutely love building and farming

Epic loot is super cool too, just adds more depth. After this playthrough I’m likely going to go the Therzie route and try his mods, they look amazing

[regal spoke]

Isn't there a qol that puts equipped items in there own space as it were

[undone hedge]

Bro yes

There’s even like lumber piles, for each lumber, and as you place more in the inventory, they get larger

Stones, even a cabinet thing for ingots

Just so much more immersive. They act as storage for those particular items

[regal spoke]

Pretty cool. I don't want to continue off topic. But I'm definitely intrigued by quite a few

[undone hedge]

Yeah my bad, I get carried away. Been playing long time and I’m still excited to talk about Valheim.

[regal spoke]

Likewise. Just want to respect the wishes here

[undone hedge]

Word

[hardy geyser]

the news about valheim coming to mac is legit, right? i know it's not april but i just wanna hear confirmation from the community that the x post (and the post in #news ) isn't part of my imagination

[azure yacht]

No, it's completely and utterly fake.

Obviously, information coming directly from one of the game's devs should be taken very mildly

[vocal rivet]

Why is our word more believable than the devs?

[ornate sigil]

if you want to be sure, check with multiple sources like the games website and any gaming news outlet sites. you could also look at social media sites. if many sources say "yes" then it has a good chance of being true.

[vapid hearth]

Oh no... oh no oh no OH FUCK
I reached the Ashlands on my path to reach the fucking Queen DX
I don't wanna lose all my shit to the bone dragons or get my boat destroyed to the heat

[ornate sigil]

insert meme about u-turns

or "hot-in-reverse"

[vernal karma]

how wide/tall is the valheim world, i wonder how long it would take to sail from ashlands to deep north when that is a part of the game.

[tepid pike]

approximately 10500 metres, I believe

[azure yacht]

Literally every single one of those websites have 0 relevance vs the word from an official developer

[vapid hearth]

Phew, managed to get out shortly afterwards
Now I'm seeing some weird stalagmites from the water

And the water with those stalagmites is red. Must be Ashlands turf

[fossil delta]

It is.

Whelp, Modor is once again given in Sacrifice, now on to conquest of the plains and Yagluth.

[vapid hearth]

Thank fuck for refined eitr shooting sparks. Allowed me to steal two components on my way to the Queen's island (which is where my main Mistlands base will likely be. It has to be a big island with a few yggdrasil roots, jotuns, dorf fortresses, and/or mines)

[tight yacht]

do trees heal over time?

[scenic flicker]

as far as i can tell they do not

I've hit trees and left one hit left. ported home and came back later and it still only took one hit to knock it down.

[tight yacht]

yeah ill just have to be careful around my 'for show' trees at base then

[scenic flicker]

yeah i had an oak tree for show but that thing didn't last. deff be careful

[vernal karma]

ty, so with good wind it takes 15 min, if you got a direct path north. maybe realistically 30 min with some bad wind and some detours.

[tight yacht]

i love obliterating bukeberries

useless items

[hardy geyser]

It’s more that I don’t really trust x as a source of verity
I had posted that before reading the post in #news bc I rejoined the server specifically to ask

[tight yacht]

yeah idk why everyone was weird about answering. the answer is yes, its reliable

[slender rover]

Current status: literally trolling Fader to death. LOL.

[vernal karma]

can you really trust anybody but the individuals you trust :]

[hardy geyser]

Anyway ty folks the news made my week. So excited I can finally play it on my computer instead of needing to invite myself over to play on someone’s PC on their account or vicariously play through streams

[fathom gulch]

Anything new in this game? I haven't played in quite awhile

[warm sandal]

heaps 😄

[tight yacht]

new biomes, quests, new trader, lots of stuff

[steel creek]

yo so I have a quick question

is there anyway i can transfer my stuff from a old version to the most recent version?

[finite lodge]

is a rank 4 root harnesk still better than carapace armor?

[tight yacht]

best looking trophies in your opinions?

[livid widget]

The tar growths are annoying af. Is there a counter to their nonsense?

[tight yacht]

the ones that shoot at you?

new rule, kill all lox on sight

these bastards keep wandering over to me at the worst times and they are never neutral

[loud valve]

Bonemass

[tight yacht]

im thinking for mounting on a trophy wall

[plush umbra]

Hi just wondering can you craft from storage now without mods?

[finite lodge]

infested citadel is spooky dooky

[tight yacht]

negative

i console command out tar liquid and i dont feel bad about it at all

[near sigil]

sic the loxes and fulings on them

there's usually only a few, and they respawn very slowly (every 2 days)

kiting a few loxes there or a fuling scout party usually works plenty

[livid widget]

THanks

[vale river]

Does upgrading the trollstav or staff of the wild do anything other than increase initial hit dmg & durability?

[frail wagon]

Just beat bone-mass for the first ever time with my brother feeling good chat

[near sigil]

Staff of the Wild gives you more summons

[tight yacht]

nice work fellas

[frail wagon]

pre brewed 12ish frost meed alil worried for the moutins

[tight yacht]

eh mountains arent that bad

just dont stay at night 😉

[frail wagon]

just gotta make it to mist for magic 😫

[mint berry]

Just 'bout to go at Yagluth again! Was some time sins i last did it. Started over again to get to Ashlands 🙂 Any advices?
My padded set is lvl4. I have both Frostner and silver sword at highest lvl.
Food wise the internet seems a bit unsure about whats best combo for him.

[tight yacht]

whats the best way to get enemies to stop spawning near my stuff? the best looking, the most natural

[whole iris]

Accidentally sailed into an unfamiliar biome, got killed by a giant mosquito losing all my good stuff, now I'm looking at days of work just to be able to build a boat to get back to that spot, with no guarantee that I won't just get killed by the mosquito while trying to get my stuff. Feels bad man. Learned so many lessons in this one mistake but it's such a bummer to have to grind for so long to un-do it

slightly soul crushing ngl

[tight yacht]

i feel that

just wait till you need to fight those bastards on the regular, they are always a pain in the ass

[whole iris]

I despise them. it one shotted me

[snow goblet]

so why does the lava oneshot?

[warm sandal]

because it is realistic? If you were to jump on lava in real live you would burn to cinders too?

[snow goblet]

just cuz its realistic dosent make it fun

[warm sandal]

well,, just avoid stepping on lava? 😛 i died because i misjudged the jump and landed on the lava instead of the basalt... that are the dangers of the biome (amongst others).

[snow goblet]

hard to avoid when the ||asksvins|| knock you half a mile back even when they are parried

[warm sandal]

true... that is why I make a point at trying to avoid fighting with my back towards the lava... i just circle around the enemies no one said you had to fight them in a direction that is bad for you. Same as fighting on a slope - would not work nicely ... just kite them over to were it is saver to fight.

I do fight a lot with the spear, so I h ave to be strategic about what direction and on what terrain i attack ... meanwhile it has become second nature to me

[near sigil]

lower ground, put campfire in, bury it back up to flat ground

they block spawns even when they run out of fuel

[tight yacht]

ah interesting

thats probably the best way to do it then. does raising the ground not pop it back up above the surface? also, will enemies congregate around them to try to destroy them?

[near sigil]

enemies won't

also pretty sure "raise ground" will break the campfire, while "level ground" won't

it's pretty finnicky and honestly I don't bother, but you can try

enemies with ground smashing attacks (read: almost every giant enemy of every biome) can still break them though

[tight yacht]

if all else fails i was going to add a couple bonfires out front surrounded by spike walls

[near sigil]

I'm like, 99% sure that enemies ignore campfires though?

the only base structures they don't break are campfires, bonfires, and braziers

I've been littering campfires all over the woods my main base is at, and nothing targets them ever

they only break sometimes in troll raids

[tight yacht]

are 2 star boar spawns fixed or random?

[near sigil]

as random as anything else

[tight yacht]

like if i find a group of boar, can i keep killing them to reroll their stars?

or is the star they spawn with always the same

[near sigil]

boar spawns at random locations and with random star level

[scenic flicker]

i see the same stars in the same area's after killing them multiple times

pretty sure its not that random... maybe a few meters difference

[near sigil]

however, they do stop spawning once there's too many of them, so do cull the lesser star ones

[tight yacht]

ok so i need to find a 2 star straight up, cant just keep killing a group

if a group that spawns doesnt have a 2 star, it will never spawn a 2 star

[near sigil]

that's... not how it works

zone spawning is completely random and happens around you, the only thing that might cause it to be less random is that a valid spawn location has a chance to be picked again

but you can just flatten an entire area to make every spot around you valid locations, so it's in essence still random

go to the wiki, Spawn zones page

[tight yacht]

do you understand what im asking about finding one spot and repeatedly spawning new boar there and eventually getting a 2 star though

like can i find one boar spawn location and just reroll it until i get a 2 star, or do i need to find a 2 star directly

[near sigil]

they do not have a fixed spawn location is what I'm saying! XD

[tight yacht]

they do, the boar stones

[near sigil]

boar stones do not respawn

[tight yacht]

i am aware of that

im asking about the BOAR that spawn near the stone

[near sigil]

that's what I'm saying!! XD the boar stones spawn the boars ONCE

[tight yacht]

they dont respawn near it?

[near sigil]

nope

[tight yacht]

oh shit ok, i wasnt getting that

[near sigil]

if they do, it's random spawns, not the boar stone

[tight yacht]

so i need to find a 2 star in the wild

[near sigil]

boar stones spawn like a shit ton of boars, and random spawns can only spawn up to 4 around you

[tight yacht]

do other animals take the boar slot?

[near sigil]

nope, each animals have their own slots

so cull lesser star ones, else they take up slots

[tight yacht]

ok, so just hunt for them until you find one, and kill all the lower ones

[near sigil]

yup

[tight yacht]

thanks for the info, cleared up a lot

[near sigil]

if you didn't know already, starred boars only spawn 800m away from spawn

and they only spawn in Meadows

[tight yacht]

im way south, that shouldnt be a problem

[near sigil]

good luck then! I've personally never had to care much about starred boars (breeding towers are insanely effective), but starred boars will definitely get you a lot more loot

[pine geyser]

Hey guys, is there a bug report channel? Looking to discuss magmafish fishing bug

[near sigil]

#steam-bugs-discussion and #xbox-bugs-discussion

[serene dune]

Hello.

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[open mortar]

does tacking work in valheim

[unkempt marten]

is this true that shield generators barrier counts as roofing for stations?

[vapid hearth]

Alright, sealbreaker made, and fire staff level 3 made. What other preparations should I make?

[timid sun]

Just tested only with the workbench but the answer appears to be no

[tight yacht]

depends, but usually its better to row

tacking works in extreme weather, for all other situations its not worth

tacking meaning trying to go directly against the wind, if you get the corner and you get some wind thats still better than rowing

[burnt rune]

yep, I seem to remember that except boarstones 2* doesn't spawn within a certain radius of the center of the map (where you're dropped off) too.

I found that out after using like 20 hours hunting for 2 star boars near my first base at my first map. and i only killed one once and it was near the boar stone. either that or the spawn rate increased as you got further out and it was crazy low that close to the boss pedestal.

Then again this might have been changed in a patch and I just never noticed it.

[tight yacht]

im basically bordering the ashlands right now so i should be fine on distance

[fair cairn]

pertty sure boarstones spawn starred boars no matter where (only once though)
the ones in the wild that dont spawn arounda boarstone or similar will never be starred within a certain radius around the starter spawn

[mystic gale]

I found my 2 star piggy yesterday, used a harpoon to safely and humanely drag him to the base. It was on the edge of the starter island nowhere near a stone. Hunting at night seems to help

[vapid hearth]

Is the Queen arena something I can leave at any time or must either the Queen or I die if I want to leave?
Asking so I can make sure to run away if either magic or meleeing doesn't work

[mystic gale]

Had to keep my 2 star doggies a good distance away

[tight yacht]

well i found a 1 star, thatll have to do for now

if i find a 2 star down the road ill replace it

[opal prairie]

800m to be exact.

[near sigil]

you can leave any time you want
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure she starts to slowly regen health once you haven't been there for long enough

nvm, seems like that's constant: 0.028% per second, 10% over 6 minutes, 100% over an hour

[burnt rune]

Yeah I seem to remember right that it was something like that. it always annoyed me I just built within that on my first map. 😆 and that one two star boar I found early really tricked me.

[vapid hearth]

Ahh, thank you very much

Hmmm, I think I'll need the Staff of Protection if i am indeed going to go the magic route

[near sigil]

that's about the only staff that you'll be constantly using, yes

I run 2 eitr 1 stamina food now because of Staff of Protection

[inland cipher]

heard a rumor about flame metal towers being made unsinkable. Is there any offical info about this?

[near sigil]

known bug right now, ||unload the area by going through a portal as it sinks, and come back to it completely fine||

[vapid hearth]

Aww dammit, imma have to find another Jotun corpse with a head, then
I only have the fire staff and frost staff

[vapid hearth]

Being able to attack without depleting means to run is huge

[near sigil]

good luck, I had to hit like 6 heads to get enough for armor and full staff upgrades

[vapid hearth]

Thank you very much
I think I found three heads total, with a fourth one that's yet to be mined
Though I did also find a spent quarry with crates containing soft tissue, so that's nice

Plus having only one extractor is painful

[inland cipher]

ahhh, thats why some of the towers seem to reappear from time to time!

[near sigil]

some Dvergr camps also have a head in them so if you're willing to commit some tomfoolery (I know I did once...)

[vapid hearth]

Oh yeah, one of those quarries! I think I've only found two in my previous playthroughs

[near sigil]

as a bonus you also get the extractor in there after the quarrel

honestly once you get about 2 extractor going, the problem wouldn't be the extractor speed, it'd be how many roots can you find within an area

my 3 extractors was draining roots dry daily, I had to spend like half a day every time I go back from mining skulls to find a new root

[vital pilot]

enchanted demolisher with no speed penalty

yahoo

[vapid hearth]

Oh, on my way to the Queen's island, I got my hands on 4 extractors, and three or four more dorf fortresses whose crates I left untouched for the time being, and I have blackmetal scraps, so it's only a matter of time before I put all those extractors to good use and leave those roots dry

[tiny tiger]

Any tricks to farm greydwarf eyes faster?

They’re my biggest limiting factor for making a portal hub

I’ve tried roaming the black forests going from greydwarf nest to greydwarf nest but only really got like 40 eyes a run

[opal prairie]

A greydwarf farm.

[inland cipher]

Dig below the nest, and kill the spawns. Make a grey dwarf farm

[tiny tiger]

Is the idea to afk there?

[inland cipher]

yeah

[tiny tiger]

Okay so I guess there’s no faster way then

[merry pebble]

not really no

[inland cipher]

well, you could also start building something during the night in the darkforest. Loads of dwarfs come at night

[opal prairie]

Yes and no, you can afk if you use certain things to kill them, you can also actively murder them but it is about as fast as afk.

[tiny tiger]

I guess I’ll just roam then, atleast that way I’m also getting my sword skill up

[opal prairie]

if you are lucky you can find 2 spawners relatively close together and if they are in render range of each other you could have a double farm going.

[opal prairie]

Make a hole under a spawner and kill them with your sword, faster getting eyes and faster training sword skill.
You should also be safe from trolls and if it gets dicey you can stamina pot and get out of the hole.

[kindred urchin]

Silly question, but does Moder's power make windmills work?

[merry pebble]

afaik it only works for boats

[kindred urchin]

heh, bummer

[opal prairie]

Windmill near the coast, sail towards the windmill and use moder power and maybe that makes the windmill work faster ^^

[merry pebble]

well windmills are affected by speed of the wind, not direction, so i dont really see what moders power would change for them 😅

[opal prairie]

There would be wind blowing straight into the windmill.
Wouldn't change much though I guess.

[kindred urchin]

I'll have to test it later. Sleep.

[merry pebble]

well the windmills are rotating depending from where the wind blows, so the direction really doesent matter

[opal prairie]

Now if only moder power made wind appear or made the wind that was there in the first place stronger.

[merry pebble]

that would work, but alas

[empty merlin]

hey peeps, what do I do after defeating Yagluth ?

[merry pebble]

go into mistlands 🙂 but before make the thing you can make with his drop

[empty merlin]

why before ? I already made it

[opal prairie]

Then go forth into the mists.

[merry pebble]

the fountain allows you to get something that will make exploring mistlands much easier 🙂

[empty merlin]

oooooh okay thanks

now I guess it's time to find the Mistlands, any tips ?

[opal prairie]

Just go in blind!

[merry pebble]

sail west or east, eventually you will find some 🙂

[merry pebble]

i did, not much fun XD (nah, it was fun, but i prefer to see a bit XD)

[opal prairie]

Once you suddenly see thick mist appear you have found some.

[empty merlin]

okay thanks

btw the save is from a year ago, but not explored much

[opal prairie]

A tip for in the mistlands.
Your ears are a valuable asset.

[merry pebble]

its will be clouds of colorfull mist, dont confuse with the normal mist that you can encounter while sailing 🙂

[empty merlin]

oh thanks

[merry pebble]

should still work just fine 🙂

[empty merlin]

hope so

[opal prairie]

Its like a big colorful ominous cloud.

[empty merlin]

gotcha thanks

[fair cairn]

its a big poopy cloud

[empty merlin]

are wisplights consumable etc.

or breakable

or do they help you thru the mistlands the whole time ?

[merry pebble]

you only need one 😄

[empty merlin]

okay thanks

[paper marsh]

Unless you die, in which case you might need a second to find your way 😄

[near saddle]

nahhh, naked running without a wisplight is the way to go

the biome is 'difficult to navigate' until I die and need to run to get my stuff back asap

[bright crown]

looking for Pinay player DM me 😄 thank you 🙂

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 is the place to look for other players, browse at your leisure or make a post.

[ornate sigil]

True that 3rd party sources are less credible(game news websites) than the developer(s) words(here on discord and patch notes). I also said to check the game's website, which would be a official source. It was more about fact checking, which that user was trying to do via the discord community since they (aparently) already checked the news pin and official site.

I probably should have just given them a thumbs up emoji to say they were correct in that the news is very likely accurate. After all, human error is possible, we saw a bit of that with the ashlands live "release date" issue.

[open mortar]

ok so i purchased fishing bait for the first time, it unlocked multiple recipes, where do i craft these other baits from

[opal prairie]

Cauldron.
HAHA I was faster Asatru.

[merry pebble]

yep you were 😄

[opal prairie]

Even with the . that yours didn't have ;p

[merry pebble]

you started a bit sooner for sure 😉

[opal prairie]

Indubitably.

[smoky quarry]

fuuny how it rains every time i pull out the fishing rod

[opal prairie]

Maybe you pull out the fishing rod every time it rains?

[smoky quarry]

[paper marsh]

I dunno if I'd be comfortable conquering mistlands naked, but I do agree a wisplight isn't very important. I often skip yag or at least come back to him once I've got some mistlands gear

[verbal radish]

everytime i try to tame an ashvkin , a few charred warrior just casually walk into the trap and kill it , gah ...

[warped wing]

hey guys

[viral kettle]

👀

[timid ridge]

https://t.me/catizenbot/gameapp?startapp=r_3_14838693

[warped wing]

i remembered a thing i learned back in school - how aboriginals would trap fish by making rock pools in rivers so the fish would get stuck inside. and that got me thinking... is such a thing possible in valheim? 🤔

[near sigil]

believe it or not, yes

not quite in that way, but if you make a water-surface level platform, sometimes the fish hops out of the water and straight into the platforms

[warped wing]

oooooooo

can't wait to try that 🙂

[near sigil]

you can look up fish trap designs on youtube

[merry pebble]

but look for more recent ones, there was a patch to their behavior some time ago

[safe hinge]

Hey guys, can you sail with a "normal" wooden ship through the Ashlands or do you need the new boat?

[crystal fern]

soup vikings, i wanted to ask if theres any one that has like a server or a place to play together since i finally gathered the confidence to join a lobby and play sometime

[opal prairie]

You can but the boat will get damaged and break eventually.

[near sigil]

look at #1024264966712340510

[crystal fern]

thanksss

[paper marsh]

gotta spawnproof or make a more sturdy pen

[crisp portal]

I noticed that most asksvin spawn near lava, so I spawned proof the area around and even got lucky I found a 1 ⭐

so yah, that is the way... some dvergrs wandering around almost found them tho

[paper marsh]

Askvin are so satisfying to kill

Because game doesn't like logic

[unkempt marten]

meybe a dumb question but bim about to foght modera, use needle arrows or poison arrows?

[paper marsh]

Needle arrows are much better than poison. Obsidian is a bit better than poison

[unkempt marten]

needle then, thanks

[paper marsh]

A fang spear or flesh rippers is best 😎

[merry pebble]

poison arrows do more total dmg than both obsidian and needle...

[unkempt marten]

im skippign mele weapins, i did maxed out dragur fang and that will be all

[paper marsh]

I mean it depends on how fast you're shooting her. Most people have upwards of 40 bow skill in mountain I'd say, and fire at close to max fire rate. In which case a lot of the poison damage is wasted as poison doesn't stack

[opal prairie]

If you don't overwrite the poison tick by firing a new arrow in the 5 seconds it ticks and in that way obsidian takes the lead since you can fire that faster and don't have to care about ticking damage and needle trumps obsidian.

[paper marsh]

If you're shooting an arrow every 10 seconds then for sure poison would be strongest

[opal prairie]

Isn't 5 seconds enough?

[paper marsh]

think so, I'm just exaggerating to be sure

[near sigil]

are Vineberries still bugged?

[fossil delta]

I haven't seen anyone complaining about them.

[woeful yacht]

I just planted a ton and grab some whenever I see them

The drop rate is fairly high, at least

[near sigil]

that's nice

How far away from the wall do the vines have to be? and how spaced out should I plant them?

[ember panther]

Set both arrows to your quick slots and alternate between shots for best dps.

[teal tiger]

I planted vines up my entry staircase half-walls and a skele came and beat the hell out of them 😔 can't have nice things lol

[near sigil]

What food combo should I run for a mage in Ashlands?

wanna see what magic players been running

[teal tiger]

2 magic 1 stam seems to work fine. You don't need hp if you use protection and keep your distance, which is easier since you don't need to manage stamina nearly as much.

[near sigil]

yeah I'm looking for specific food recommendations

because Ashlands magic food recipes seem to heavily feature sap

which I guess is fine, it's just hard to get a hold of in large quantities consistently

[teal tiger]

Tbf the type of magic food doesn't really matter especially if you're just getting into it.

[vapid hearth]

Uggghh, I keep getting hit by the Queen every time I try to go to the upper levels or locate her and it keeps taking me by surprise because of the mist

[near sigil]

and also Fiddleheads and Smokepuffs aren't farmable, which makes this kinda hard to choose

Mistlands was way easier what with everything being so easily farmable, and hares being so common

[teal tiger]

Sap is also really easy to farm

[pliant hatch]

Ashland magic food also runs for 30 minutes before you need to eat another one. So that outweighs the farming of sap again.
Meaning with 2 or 3 sap extractors you may be doing well enough for 2 magic foods.

[teal tiger]

Yeah, I play with my partner and we both run mages. 2 sap extractors is more than enough for us.

[pliant hatch]

Just take over an Dverger outpost and you got a good supply of Fiddleheads. And most likely some smokepuffs. But you will find enough of those when going out in the wilds, so even those two aren't really a bottle neck.

[near sigil]

guess I just need to explore more, cause getting a hold of these things has been a real pain in the butt

the spawn rates are astronomical and my inventory can only hold so much

[teal tiger]

You might just be unlucky. Fiddleheads have been all over for me. I didn't find a reliable smoke puff farm until I set up my second outpost.

Ashlands is really funny that way. Carry weight isn't really a problem for once, it's just the sheer amount of items that drop.

[near sigil]

carrying enough materials for a stone portal

on top of all my gear and mead, I have about 5 slots free left

if I'm not playing multiplayer rn I would genuinely rage

[teal tiger]

I still wish they would make a separate inventory for gear.

[sharp panther]

I think the equip system we have is kinda good in its simplicity, id rather just have a flat increase of inventory space (adding 9 and 0 columns) over dedicated slots.

This also would open up possibilities for next tier of chest perhaps?

[teal tiger]

Either way, yes. That's really just a difference in UI, so I'm on board with either.

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually running around with 10 empty slots.
But then, I keep my portal mats in my boat until I've found a good spot to land - I do have my preferences - and I know that spot will be mine for certain.
Until then I rely at the allegiance of the previous owner(s) of that spot to protect me. Which usually won't be that long, but long enough for me to make sure my food, eitr, stamina and shield bubble are at max and the only thing I need to do is to finish off some damaged monsters and destroy a ward.

[near sigil]

the people have spoken devs, pls add more inventory slots

Ashlands has been such a good update in terms of QoL ngl

okay I can only think of the instant wood to coal but that's a huge QoL change for me

[sharp panther]

A new chest made with ashwood flametal and/or charred bones would be a great addition on top of increasing inventory space a bit.

Right now the only possible difference such chest could have over blackmetal is what... model size and cosmetic difference

[hidden gorge]

you have to build them -- blackmetal, tar and wood. place a portal next to them and one in your pocket to rearrange things when they're getting cluttered

[teal tiger]

Coal sucked in my previous playthroughs, so I built two kilns in stone enclosures to hide their big ugly butts between my smelters this time around. Never run out of coal now.

[near sigil]

man but I can't run 10 meters without my inventory absolutely clogged up XD

[sharp panther]

If ur playing solo it kinda forces you to choose what to gather, but in early biome exploration where you need everything it really damn sucks. Just 4-8 slots more would go a very long way id say.

[hidden gorge]

you can turn off auto pickup, or only go 9 meters, or several other solutions exist as well

[near sigil]

100%, I'm still very early into Ashlands and having to decide what to pick and bring with me every time has sucked big time

[teal tiger]

Crafting a carrying sack or something to upgrade the inventory would be cool. But I don't see them doing it. Their vision is creating challenges that force players to find methods to circumvent them. Whether you carry a dumb amount of chests everywhere or have to make 10 trips for loot, it seems to be what they want.

[hidden gorge]

the wheelbarrow is a bit of a carrying sack, no?

[near sigil]

the cart is a joke, added by the devs just to troll players

[teal tiger]

It's never been upgraded and gets exploded in an instant in new zones lol

[sharp panther]

I think there is another dimension to the problem here. An excellent workaround for inventory space and weight in meadow, swamp and plains is cart. But ashlands makes cart almost unusable. It dies quickly and burns down.

[near sigil]

this i'm 100% certain, the thing's unusable

[paper marsh]

really just for mountains

[paper marsh]

heh, I actually tend to try to make my own ways of circumventing intended game mechanics because it's fun 😅

[sharp panther]

I use it extensively throughout the game. It really is good IMO.

[near sigil]

I use it in early game when I had to lug copper and iron back to my processing outposts, but since then I've just either boat down a mountain or mine near water and ship my ores back

[sharp panther]

If we got a higher tier cart that is heat resistant and has a lot of health and inventory space (and perhaps a bit easier to pull but empty cart is also easy to pull) Then we would have a great solution for the inventory space issue.

[near sigil]

right, speaking of transport, thank god the devs added the stone portals, easily the best QoL feature of ashlands

[sharp panther]

Honestly cart is vastly more useful as inventory slot expansion than hauling heavy stuff. To move with it comfortably you cannot pack more than 4-5 stacks of ore.

But on swamp that is flat and has a plethora of different items, its amazing.

[teal tiger]

Yeah, every biome has its own unique challenge that makes it fun. The number of loot doesn't seem to be the intended challenge for Ashlands though, the combat is. They just need to add a new cart recipe.

[paper marsh]

imo I'd say portal is better than a cart for that purpose

[near sigil]

this is why I assert that carts are a joke

[paper marsh]

I agree theres too much bloat in Ashlands. I don't want to have to drag a cart around anywhere I go though

[sharp panther]

If you have lets say 6 empty slots and you want to gather potentially 12 different items, portal is not a viable solution.

[teal tiger]

This is making me want to make a cart there now and see how quickly it catches fire and explodes.

Gods, imagine fighting everything in the Ashlands with a cart tethered to you 😭

[paper marsh]

fair

[sharp panther]

ironically cart makes it easier to fight, at least in swamp, lemme explain

[near sigil]

genuinely though I've not had inventory issues anywhere but ashlands

[sharp panther]

it blocks the damage coming from back and the sides, so it can actually be used tactically. if we got a tanky cart it would be perfect for ashlands IMO

[teal tiger]

Previous biomes gave me weight issues, Ashlands is just.. bloat.

[near sigil]

the sheer amount of unique drops from ashlands can probably overfill a black marble chest

from about 15 minutes of you touching the shores

[sharp panther]

but id say the bottom line is, whether we add dedicated slots, give more inventory space or a next tier cart, id say something kinda is needed to make ashlands feel good inventory-slot wise

It's not something that makes game unplayable, but kinda a petpeeve for many players I get the impression

[near sigil]

I'll take a backpack accessory gated behind ashlands

just anything please

[teal tiger]

Actually I'm going back on my word. No cart. God knows DN will be Mountains 2.0 and they'll be useless there too lol.

[sharp panther]

XDDD

[maiden jewel]

so we officially ran out of fortresses for gems. I've only got 5 lvl 1 gemmed weapons. Kinda sucks knowing that theres where my progression stops

cant even try out every new weapon

[teal tiger]

It sucks, but devcommands or a second world.

[sharp panther]

Damn that sucks, but how would you even go about making them renewable? It's not like royaljelly that makes sense to respawn/drop from stuff.

[near sigil]

genuinely if you've made the effort to raid every fortress, I think it's fair to devcommands it

[maiden jewel]

we all agreed to not "cheat" on this server but I'm starting to think that it will no longer be cheating if devs really did not think the amount of gems through atall

[maiden jewel]

they could be rare drops from starred mobs or devs could massively increase the amount you get from fortresses

[teal tiger]

Have you double checked your seed with https://m.valheim-map.world/ to verify you got all the fortresses?
If you guys have agreed on not cheating, start a second world for Ashlands plundering. Devcommands ruins the experience if you've already agreed not to touch it ever.

[maiden jewel]

from my last fortress i got 1 gem and 0 metal

[sharp panther]

Honestly id probably start with replacing molten cores inside the fortress tower with gems on pedestals.

[near sigil]

jeez devs really need to pump the rates on that stuff

[sharp panther]

It's not like we need more molten cores that we can get from morgen holes ...

[maiden jewel]

true, we're swimming in cores 😄

[teal tiger]

My seed says we have 20 fortresses

[maiden jewel]

yeah, just checked map generator before posting here to make sure I had not missed any

my seed has 20 as well

[teal tiger]

RIP. Welp. Cool pfp btw.

At least you got that going for you? 😆

[sharp panther]

I dropped that to the suggestions section of discord, feel free to up/downvote it according to what you believe.

[vocal rivet]

Oh God, we're whinging about inventory space again, huh?

[teal tiger]

Yeah that was a pretty good suggestion tbh.

[finite lodge]

i love valheim and other survival games but inventory management is the thing i like least about them xD its never a bad time to complain about inventory space

[vocal rivet]

It's always a bad time to complain about inventory storage. Inventory management is an intentional part of the game and one the devs won't back down from.

[teal tiger]

We're aware they likely won't change it.

[woeful yacht]

No, we moved on to gems

😄

[vocal rivet]

On the gems issue, I do agree. The drop rate is criminally low.

[woeful yacht]

I do like the idea of putting them on the stands instead of the molten cores

[vocal rivet]

A maximum of 40 per world is fine, but the minimum of zero is the issue.

[woeful yacht]

But if they did that, folks would probably complains about molten core drops

[sharp panther]

I honestly doubt, there are soooo many putrid holes out there.

but perhaps, I dunno

[woeful yacht]

I also doubt it, but someone probably would

As a shameless ore portaler, I haven't used most of the cores I've found

[sharp panther]

I think the available space and complexity of inventory management should be in line with how "industrial" the game is if you catch my drift. Games like ARK where you operate on bulk amounts of resources have obviously more sophisticated inventory systems and more slots accordingly. Or terraria (I havent played it but I heard inventory management there is very complicated)

Valheim IMO does NOT need advanced inventory and 1000 slots for items. Or automatic loading to kilns and such, that's kinda the part of atmosphere of the game that is valheim.

That however doesn't mean ashlands didnt go a bit too far in the limitations. Previously available options such as cart are not really viable here and there are items that could be removed at any moment and nobody will miss them (morgen heart for instance)

[azure yacht]

Minimum should at the very, very least be one or two.

Idk why they went with 0 at all

[vocal rivet]

I guess in their mind a 50/50 chance failing 40 times seemed unlikely enough to risk.

[woeful yacht]

Although when I hit the end of Ashlands this play through, I might give the devs intended portaling mechanics a try (now that they added stone portals)... And maybe even no map (if I'm feeling insane)

[woeful yacht]

I can get behind this

[teal tiger]

Yeah this sums it up pretty well. They added a lot of bloat loot and nothing new for managing loot.

[vocal rivet]

If you know it's bloat, you also know you don't need to be picking it up.

[tight yacht]

I feel like no map hard mode would be wild

[woeful yacht]

I will say, though... stopping to drop things in the Ashlands is dangerous

[woeful yacht]

I'm not insane enough for hard mode.

[vocal rivet]

Why drop it, just don't pick it up. V is your friend.

[woeful yacht]

That's fair.... I just have too much fomo for that

[teal tiger]

Shinies everywhere is annoying. Also yes, most of it is useful.

[woeful yacht]

I want it all!

[vocal rivet]

Eh, fair enough. Just saying, the tools are there.

[finite lodge]

next thing you know youll get to mistlands and it seems every single item requires resources from previous biomies

[woeful yacht]

Who doesn't want a black metal chest full of morgen hearts? Anybody? No? ok...

[sharp panther]

This is very true, but you kinda need to take into account that this introduces couple potentially unwanted results in how game plays. For instance entering the biome being harder to manage than lategame gathering where you can disregard half of the items that drop.

This also makes the game indirectly harder for solo players, because 2-man team will never have this issue to begin with.

I am not sure if that's a good "feature" if you catch my drift.

[teal tiger]

Teams have it easy. More boss power uptime, more inventory. Ahh, I'm jealous.

[finite lodge]

is there anything to collect in the infested citadel after the boss is dead, other than the boss loot

[vocal rivet]

A solo player will need fewer things so it balances out just fine.

[teal tiger]

That works for weight, but not necessarily for bloat

[sharp panther]

You need less amount per thing of the same amount of things.

[vocal rivet]

Yes, so there's not issue. Moving on.

[sharp panther]

It is not relevant point for inventory space discussion.

[teal tiger]

Bro we were enjoying discussing inventory. You don't need to come in here and complain that we're whinging, then declare it's time to move on. 😭

[burnt glen]

Does lava incinerate items?

[vocal rivet]

I don't NEED to, sure. But then people don't NEED to complain about things that will never change either.

[woeful yacht]

Bruh, don't come in here telling me how human nature works

[vocal rivet]

Just build a cart, that's what they're for.

[teal tiger]

We already covered that

[vocal rivet]

OK, and yet the conversation is still going.

The tools to mitigate the issue are all there, it's your choice to use them or not.

[sharp panther]

Because blackforest cart is not a viable cart for environment that can burn it and/or kill in couple shots

[woeful yacht]

We just want to feel heard. The game is so good we have to hunt for silly problems to complain about

[sharp panther]

I use cart in almost all biomes in the game, but in ashlands it's very difficult to employ

[vocal rivet]

Oh, then #suggestions is the place for you.

[near sigil]

just ignore him guys you don't have to interact if you don't wanna continue

[woeful yacht]

I believe it was done

[woeful yacht]

inserts another 25 cents

So when are we getting deep north?

[vocal rivet]

Sometime next year.

[shy marlin]

Where'd they say that?

[sharp panther]

Bottom line though is, whether or not developers intended for inventory space to be a primary challenge in the new biome. If so, id say it works as intended. But if not, then discussing potential solution is indeed productive imho.

[vocal rivet]

Nowhere, that's entirely my guess.

[near sigil]

pretty sure items dropped on the ground don't get destroyed by anything but despawn mechanics

[shy marlin]

oh okay 👍

[teal tiger]

Yeah, I mean we are all here because we love this game. I don't think it's bad at all to discuss our ideas on improvements. That's what you do with things you love.

[vocal rivet]

Again, we have the perfect place for that, #suggestions, and Smiffe reads every one.

[azure yacht]

I don't expect DN for 2025.

2026 minimum

[teal tiger]

Chat is a good place to chat about it 😊

[vocal rivet]

2026 is fairly pessimistic I'd say, but we just don't really know.

[burnt glen]

I think if it did, it’d make inv management easier in Ashlands. Just stop for a few seconds and drop the morgen hearts.

[sharp panther]

id probably drop the new tier of cart into that section, it's a reasonable solution to the problem at hand

[azure yacht]

At least, until they explicitly announce that they start working sometime this year

[vocal rivet]

We've had the same cart for 8 biomes, I can't see us getting a new one.

[azure yacht]

But if they say that they will work on other stuff this year and not start on DN until 2025, then 2026 seems more realistic

[near sigil]

if there even was anything remotely like a trash item option in this game it would be amazing

[teal tiger]

I'm calling it. You're cursing us with another cart in time for another mountains biome.

[vocal rivet]

waves roughly in the direction of the Obliterator

[sharp panther]

Its not like we have to use it in mountains.

[azure yacht]

Especially when they should make older things still useful even later

[burnt glen]

Given Ashlands terrain, a new cart could work nicely.

[sharp panther]

I think tool made in ashlands for purposes of ashlands issue solving is pervetly valid.

The only thing holding back normal cart in ashlands is its fragility

[vocal rivet]

Ashlands is done, though. We move forward.

[sharp panther]

What is the point of discussing anything according to you, you said a second ago we should suggest stuff and now you back down from that stance XD

[teal tiger]

Ashlands is still young

[azure yacht]

Wooden portals are not exactly replaced by the stone ones.

I'm sure the size and such are an encouragement to use wooden portals based on circumstances

[signal rover]

Long live ashlands

[vocal rivet]

Huh, I've not backed down from anything.

[ornate sigil]

I believe the ocean (5m of water depth or deeper) instantly removes drops from the game. Hence why I built a raft even before the elder.

[buoyant ether]

guys, is it better to experience the game solo or with others ? first time

[teal tiger]

Both are fun for different reasons. It depends on your personality. If you're impatient, I'd suggest solo.

[ornate sigil]

Depends on if you want the shenanigans of others or to experience the game without said shenanigans.

[vocal rivet]

It's a lot of fun with a good group, but can be frustrating if you end up with a group of people who just mess around and don't contribute.

[ornate sigil]

Others definitely make mining less tedious.

[teal tiger]

It's arguably a lot easier played with others as well, so if you're deterred by challenging gameplay, I'd suggest finding a group.

[vocal rivet]

It's a single player game at heart though so it's more than playable like that.

[woeful yacht]

Sorry, I was entirely and 100% joking. I was hoping the troll emoji would convey that. I'm entirely content to let the devs take their time and provide something quality, and I fully expect that to take more than a couple weeks after dropping Ashlands

[vocal rivet]

You asked a question and I answered it, my mistake.

[teal tiger]

No no. DN now, in all its pre-pre-pre-alpha janky glory.

[woeful yacht]

In that case, prep the boats and sail north!

[vocal rivet]

I would be very surprised if anything tangible exists at all yet.

[woeful yacht]

It's there today!

[vocal rivet]

No, the placeholder is there, not the actual biome.

[woeful yacht]

I think if you hover over it it says "Deep North"

[vocal rivet]

...

Mistlands and Ashlands did the same before they were created.

[woeful yacht]

He said he wanted it in "all its pre-pre-pre-alpha janky glory"

[vocal rivet]

But that isn't it.

[teal tiger]

We are joking lol

[woeful yacht]

As a dweller in a real-life northern biome, I'm looking forward to Deep North and am excited to see how they differentiate it from the mountains (because it's possible to be cold and not mountainous)

[teal tiger]

Christmas themed Ashlands confirmed? Hello?

[woeful yacht]

...uhhhh

I'm hoping for frost giants

and bears

[vocal rivet]

Um, about that.

[woeful yacht]

And I won't be mad if those bears are tameable

[buoyant ether]

i was today years old when i found out i enjoy survival games alot more if i just turn off the building costs

atleast while i learn the game properly, my flow is so easily interrupted and keeping track of so many things makes my brain broke

where do i see my quests

[signal rover]

Or a big owl you can tame and fly

In my dream world

[teal tiger]

There aren't quests per se. Just one big quest of killing all the bosses.
The orders are Meadows (Eikthyr), Black Forest (Elder), Swamp (Bonemass) and so on. The stuff you get from each boss will indicate where you need to go next.

[signal rover]

Quest would be lovely

[woeful yacht]

eh

[vocal rivet]

Quests would make it an MMO. No thanks.

[signal rover]

Nothing major more sealed towers of other varieties

[azure yacht]

Don't think we will get more than Hildir implemented unless they dedicate another similar update

Ashlands mini boss is unrelated to Hildir

[buoyant ether]

i think im into this game after all

how do i get stone ?

[timid sun]

Hot take, I think they should actually put the Deep North update on hold for smaller updates to flesh out the early game more.

[teal tiger]

Agreed. Ocean needs love & there are some QOL updates they could be focusing on.

[signal rover]

Stone is on the ground u can walk near it and look at it to pick some up

[paper marsh]

Pick up from ground, and later you can get a pickaxe to mine it

[signal rover]

Yea I say a viking speed boat 🚤 lol

[buoyant ether]

and gates ?

[paper marsh]

press tab to craft a hammer, with hammer you can right click and one build option is gates (built with wood)

[teal tiger]

Ok but wth is the Asksvin Rug? 😭🤣

[merry pebble]

rug made of asksvins?

[teal tiger]

Lol yes. Yes it is. The visuals though.

[vapid hearth]

NOOOOOO
I forgot to take all my black metal sceap out of my longboat DX
Now the crates are at risk of being destroyed and thus at risk of truly being lost for good ;-;
And that's 100 iron nails lost ._.

[paper marsh]

Crates can't be destryoed/despawn pretty sure

[merry pebble]

they can be destroyed iirc, but not despawn

[buoyant ether]

my issue is, im supposedto build a bed near a fire but i cant put a fire indoors 🤔

[merry pebble]

put it outdoors? 🤷‍♂️

[woeful yacht]

I definitely think "lilypad" when I see it

[teal tiger]

Break one of your floors and border it with beams for style.

[woeful yacht]

Not if you have fire hazards on

Ask me how I know.

[teal tiger]

I would hope a new player hasn't turned that on lol

[signal rover]

U can place it inside you just need more room make sure your roof is tall enough so the smoke won't suffocate you

[woeful yacht]

I probably would have 😂

[vocal vale]

I think a new player would be the best to have it on

Before you’re use to not having it

[signal rover]

True

[woeful yacht]

Yeah... I have to redesign my house before I turn it back on. I thought I already had it on, but when I realized I didn't, I flipped it on and nearly burned my house to the ground when I went to go cook something...

[paper marsh]

fire heat radius goes through walls 😉

and is somewhat large

[buoyant ether]

thanks guys <3

[signal rover]

I don't mind it really if something burns it gives me something to do

[woeful yacht]

It was an entertaining 30 seconds

[signal rover]

I set my builds on fire on purposely sometimes

[woeful yacht]

changes the password on his world

[vapid hearth]

Quick question
Assuming I only have one extractor and assuming there's only one root, and assuming I need 40 sap, what would be faster, leaving the extractor there or disassembling it and then reassembling it when the root is once again pulsating with energy?

[woeful yacht]

Leave it there and go find another one

[teal tiger]

Best bet is to just find a second root

[signal rover]

I leave mine and make sap portal

[buoyant ether]

this game is so cozy >_< i feel like in the forest when i was a kid OwO

[teal tiger]

You're gonna have a ride. Enjoy the game man, glad you found it lol.

[buoyant ether]

what other banger survival games yall might suggest ? ive tried v rising

tho am gonna sink some good few hours into this

[shy marlin]

Enshrouded is neat

[teal tiger]

+1 for Enshrouded.

[buoyant ether]

uhmm.. does it work if i put a something straight up top of a fire but have an opening nearby ? to protect it from rain

[buoyant ether]

lazy peon had quite a bit of critique about it

[shy marlin]

Game certainly has it's short comings and missed layups, but all games do

[buoyant ether]

how can protecc fire from wata?

[merry pebble]

just put a roof like 4m above the fire

[paper marsh]

Should yea. Don’t put it right on top but like a good distance above

[teal tiger]

Venting smoke is going to be a constant theme. Fires need cover but also need air to vent the smoke so they aren't smothered.

[buoyant ether]

so a lot higher walls then ? since i yet cant be building mmultiple floors

ahhh ok ok, thanks

[timid sun]

Build a chimney with a roof over it with enough space on the sides to allow it to exhaust

[woeful yacht]

I'll third Enshrouded. It's a different game but definitely a good time

[vapid hearth]

I understand that. It's more because I have about 6 extractors with me and I wanted to know whether or not to bother micromanaging each one

Though I suppose I could build iron cages around each of them to make sure they're protected

[woeful yacht]

If you're not in the area they should be fine

[teal tiger]

I haven't had to protect mine. You shouldn't need more than 2-3 roots tapped as well.

[woeful yacht]

Just spawn proof the area. You might have to occasionally fight off some bugs, but generally I haven't had any issues.

And I haven't spawn proofed very effectively

[timid sun]

I personally don't typically have a mistlands base so my roots are almost always in areas that aren't active due to my lack of presence and thus enemies no touchy my stuff. And if by chance they do I go for a little walk. Just a walk. Nothing else.

[buoyant ether]

might have to put difficulty on normal, im gettin my ass kicked

are stone wpns enuff for black foresT ? 🤔

[timid sun]

I'd question as to why you're playing on anything but normal for your first playthrough O:

[paper marsh]

Flint should be the go to. Flint knife or spear

[paper marsh]

Tbh I get it. I'm a masochist that often plays games on the hardest difficulty for my first playthrough, although I think Valheim is a bit punishing like that

[buoyant ether]

i dont have those yet, and i think i have ekthyr killed 🤔

[paper marsh]

Go to coast in meadows to pick up flint, kill boars for leather scraps. Then you can make them

Must make a workbench to make those and most other items. Can't just craft them on the go

[buoyant ether]

i mean i dont see recipes available to flint wpns

but yeah ima try that out

[teal tiger]

You'll need to pick up Flint

[timid sun]

You need to pick up flint before they are unlocked. Some of them also probably require leather scraps from boar.

[buoyant ether]

ahhh

[vapid hearth]

....oh
Huh

[paper marsh]

Yea I've never protected a sap extractor, and never had one get destroyed unless enemies aggroed me and the extractor got caught in the crossfire

[vapid hearth]

Ehh, that's enough for me to wanna try to protect them. I don't wanna have to wait for that sap to replenish

[buoyant ether]

uhm, how many bases do ppl usually build ?

i feel like i need another but i dont wanna overbuild 🤔

[merry pebble]

some people do one for each biome, some do only one and use it whole game, some make first in meadows and then somewhere else if they outgrow it, it really depends on you 🙂

[paper marsh]

most people I'd say like 2 main bases. One earlygame meadows/bf/swamp stage and one later game plains/mistlands stage

Depends a lot though

[ember panther]

In my first playthrough, I had 2 main bases. In my no map I got like 8 before even going to mistlands. In my friends coop world we got (almost) one for each biome.

[merry pebble]

i for examle do only one in meadows and upgrade it/expand it as i progress 🙂

[vapid hearth]

For me I choose my main base to be in a swamp so I can collect as many wisps as I can

[tight yacht]

This is what I did... Meadows base near the ocean to cover everything up to the mountains, then a plains base past that

[drowsy citrus]

Please send your tips on getting to Ashland land. Do we just ram boat into spikes and hop from spike to spike?

[tight yacht]

Seems like a natural separation considering meadows is friendly for raids and plains are required for advanced crops past that

[open mortar]

is it possible to parry a lox with a blackmetal shield?

[paper marsh]

yes

[merry pebble]

yep

[open mortar]

is it viable

ok thanks

[paper marsh]

Parrying is also easier to succeed at the more max hp you have (eating more hp food makes you able to parry starred enemies that you sometimes might not be able to)

[open mortar]

dont you need stamina

[merry pebble]

yes, but more hp you have the more dmg you can block and parry

[open mortar]

thats useful info, thanks

what about these ooze in the plains
do i have to drain out these ponds to get the tar?

[merry pebble]

you have to drain them to get solid amounts, yes

ooze bombs are always usefull(unless something is immune to poison)

[open mortar]

oh and is there any difference in the provided support that normal wooden, blackforest logs, and the tar wood pillars give?

[azure yacht]

Darkwood and normal wood have the same support

Corewood has more

[open mortar]

ok

how do you guys build a tall building, how do you give it support

[merry pebble]

but if you want to build very high up you will want wood iron poles and beams

[open mortar]

iron poles and beams

ok ill check that out

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wood_iron_structures these things

[open mortar]

aha

are there darkwood iron pillars?

[merry pebble]

nope

[azure yacht]

You can hide iron beams inside darkwood ones

[merry pebble]

oh you can? i dont build with them so i didnt know XD

i know you can hide them in stone walls but thats it

[jolly grotto]

Question, can || fallen valkyries || have stars?

[pearl plaza]

Don't think so. Haven't seen one yet anyway

[merry pebble]

didnt see one with a star yet

[magic ferry]

before i send what im about to send, is it okay if i send an experience I just had with taming a 2 star wolf that is kind of a big wall of text?

[ember panther]

Did it Despawn?

[magic ferry]

worse

[jolly grotto]

Alright. Thanks.

[paper marsh]

Iron poles and stone let you build really high. If I remember right, if you build any wood piece on top of a iron pole or any stone, it will have ground (blue) support. So you can build stone or poles super high, and then build a wooden house up there with same support as if it was on solid ground

[ember panther]

Let's hear it

[magic ferry]

I just need to share my experience for a sec because I'm super pissed off right now and I'm sure somebody here can relate. So I've been looking for a 2 star wolf for about 200 in game days now, very unlucky, I know. I finally found one and was getting ready to put it in the hole I tamed a 1 star in, and low and behold a Drake comes by to try and kill me, I think to myself, "Oh, just gotta take care of this guy real quick." But I wasn't fast enough and another regular wolf comes to try and kill me too, I'm in a bit of a situation having -%20 movement speed while being chased down. I thought I had enough health but no, I die and when I come back it's about to become day. In fact the 2 star began running away from me and it managed to run in front of a bunch of boars and deer temporarily stopping it, as I tried to bring it back, it ended up killing me again.

I am so unbelievably angry right now, I'm thinking of just spawning it back in, but it feels so cheap. But at the same time can you blame me?? Idk sorry for putting a wall here I really just wanted to share this.

[vapid hearth]

From what I remember correctly, Flametal Ore was able to be processed long before the Ashlands update. And it required a blast furnace. So in addition to the two iron ingots I'll need for the stone cutter, I'll need to bring 6 copper for a forge, and 10 more iron ingots for the blast furnace. I'll also need to bring the finewood I need for the furnace, since I can't imagine there's a way to get my hands on that in thr Ashlands

[open mortar]

is it possible to have only one beam of iron wood supporting a whole tower

[pearl plaza]

It's your game experience - spawn it back in if you like. It's up to you if it cheapens your experience

[ember panther]

Oh yeah can relate. I've been trying to find a 2* to lure for a while now. They never spawn when I want them

[pearl plaza]

Not sure how much of a spoiler you want, but you won't need to process it there if you don't want to

[magic ferry]

uerghergj I'm gonna wait a few more ingame days before I actually re-spawn it. I legitimately gasped so hard it hurt when I saw it just because of how long I've been trying to find one

[pearl plaza]

You will definitely want a little iron and copper, though

[magic ferry]

I've just been deciding to go to the mountain every night, check the spawn locations, see if there is one, and if there isn't I just go back home lol

actually I've changed that to two mountains

[open mortar]

200 in-game days is crazy

im at 280-ish something and at plains and i couldnt tolerate my 4 day search to find yagluth

[magic ferry]

man i found yagluths spawn by complete accident

[vocal rivet]

Most do.

[pearl plaza]

Wait till night, go back to the same mountain and spawn in 2 hostile 2 star wolves. If you can tame them then you deserve it 😉

[magic ferry]

I was going in my part of the world in our server and got trapped in a plains biome by a gjall(?) in a mistlands right next to it, just ended up seeing the place

[near saddle]

does breaking a battering ram drop its ingredients?

also, are the devs aware of the floating-on-flametal vein bug?

[idle moon]

Yeah, you get the ingredients if you break it
and I'd hope they're aware of the floating/falling on flametal issue

[merry pebble]

yep they are

[cinder echo]

can we put the crystal enchants from ashlands on the magic staffs?

[azure yacht]

No

[cinder echo]

good to know

[buoyant ether]

so if i offer the eikthyr tropyh what happens ?

[cinder echo]

lots of screen shaking

[woeful yacht]

Only one way to find out

[buoyant ether]

susge

[merry pebble]

you will be able to access his power 🙂

[buoyant ether]

rather skibidi

the thing is, the map has resetted since i killed it, so idk where it is 😭

[merry pebble]

you have to offer his head at spawn tho 😄

[near saddle]

if you didn't pick it up, it most likely despawned already

[paper marsh]

yes

[open mortar]

no way thats amazing

[paper marsh]

Has to be a fairly narrow tower though, with the pillar going all the way up through it

[arctic cobalt]

If I built a island base and I moved the crafting benches from the edges will the building decay or just lock me out of the edting the edge

[paper marsh]

lock out of editing

[void gyro]

what is the chances of thor or some other god being a boss in this game?

[merry pebble]

we already have thor in game 😉 just not as a boss

[void gyro]

really?

[tight yacht]

Yeah look up during thunderstorms. Also he is the reason the obliterator works in game and it sends messages from him depending on what you do

[merry pebble]

also Odin is watching you from shadows from time to time 😄

but you can see Thor only after you have beaten Moder

[void gyro]

thats really cool

[tight yacht]

If you pull the lever on the obliterator with nothing in it it says "Thor is disappointed"

If you pull the lever with enough items in it to make coal, it says "A gift from Thor!" Or something to that effect

And it gets struck by lightning

[void gyro]

but a god boss is better in my opnion

[ember panther]

I hope Odin is the final boss

[tight yacht]

Yeah I get ya. I think the context of the game is that the Norse gods are allies though

You are helping them by destroying their enemies

[void gyro]

quick question what is a obliterator?

[harsh snow]

How rare are hare trophies? I've hunted enough to feed Africa twice and they haven't dropped a single one lol

[merry pebble]

well, kinda, you are there to kill odins enemies 😄

[hidden gorge]

garbage bin

[merry pebble]

5% drop chance

[ember panther]

It's something you build to destroy excess items and turn em to coal

[tight yacht]

Destroys items, if you put enough in it turns them to coal

Just make sure it has open sky and space or it destroys whatever is above/around it

[ember panther]

Trophies have a 1:1 ratio... other things is something like 25%

[merry pebble]

if you want to learn more about it and dont mind some potential spoilers you can look here 🙂 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Obliterator

[merry pebble]

wood 5:1, arrows 20:1 and anything else 10:1

[void gyro]

i really want to get in this part of the game now

[ember panther]

Why would anyone obliterate woods or arrows...I mostly toss in my trollhides, pukeberries and ancient seeds

[hidden gorge]

it's literally just a big trash can. the ratios of resources and materials you put into it compared to the amount of coal you get are absolutely not worth it (with the exception of maybe excess stacks of trophies)

[merry pebble]

eh, idk, i just toss there anything i dont have space for in storage

[tight yacht]

I throw trophies in too... don't need 50 greydwarf heads lol

[void gyro]

another quick question how the boats works?

[merry pebble]

you put it on water and you will have a little dial where you see where wind is comming from

[fallen zephyr]

Pretty much the same way as magnets. Insane Clown Posse got you covered. 😛

[ember panther]

You use the rudder to move about. Press forward a couple times to set sail but if you need to travel against the wind don't use the sail and just very slowly paddle...

[mystic condor]

Hello

How do I install mods in Valheim?!

[merry pebble]

folks in #mods-discussion will pobably know 😄

[void gyro]

i am too dumb to undestand the boats

[mystic condor]

Thx 🙂

[merry pebble]

try it over and over again and you will figure it out eventualy 😄

[void gyro]

i will try that

[fallen zephyr]

No you're not. You just haven't played with it enough.

[tight yacht]

What do you not get

[void gyro]

its ok now, i understand the boats

but the wind really hate me

[fallen zephyr]

Wow. Shocker.

[tight yacht]

Always does

[merry pebble]

as it does us all XD

[woeful yacht]

Welcome to Valheim

[idle moon]

The wind is your enemy, always.

[void gyro]

the fun thing about that is the name of character is WindGrey

[vapid hearth]

Okay, dead raiser is at level 3
Now to find a graydwarf spawner and afk my blood magic level to 100 for the ultimate magic barrier so I can then finally take on The Queen

[edgy delta]

So i have a server that has like 10 people playing it. Are there going to be enough fortresses to to supply the group with gems so everyone can upgrade gear?

or will gems be a really rare commodity?

[idle moon]

depends on how much people want to craft and your luck with the gems

[edgy delta]

so far we have beaten like 6 fortresses

[fallen zephyr]

That's cool if you're going to solo it. In my experience, the best prep for The Queen is getting a friend to join you.

[merry pebble]

i would not count on that everyone will be able to make every weapon, but i think it should be enough for everyone to have at least one weapon, quite possibly few more

[edgy delta]

yeah

[edgy delta]

alright, good to know

ty

[merry pebble]

but take my words with grain of salt, i dont have near enough experience with ashlands to be all knowing XD i am trying to piece info from what i heard from other people here on discord

[edgy delta]

yeah, we have beaten like 6 forts so far and everyone is fighting over the limited gems. haha

was just curious if it would stay that way or not

[woeful yacht]

I suspect it will

[edgy delta]

ok

[merry pebble]

we dont have really any info on that, we will have to wait and see

[edgy delta]

alright, i will let you all know what we find out then. I guess i am just curious what the average amount of forts there are in a world

[idle moon]

think there are always 20

[idle storm]

Average is 20 fortresses per world. With 10 players that's 2 forts worth of gems per player, or in other words maybe 1 or 2 upgraded weapons, if you're lucky enough to get the gems you want.

[edgy delta]

ah, thats the info i was looking for

[edgy delta]

yep, makes sense

thank you everyone

[idle moon]

I'm not 100% on there always being 20, but I think someone said that earlier

[brazen geode]

you need to insert 3/4 of the morons who hold the sea and sometimes you come across them with a ship, they don't have to be very strong but you just need to take an item from the roads

morons=npc

[fallen zephyr]

I'm going to regret asking, but why would you refer to NPCs as morons?

[merry pebble]

i am just checking few seeds in world generator, got one seed with 19 (i counted like 4 times) but from then 20 every time, so it seems it was correct info 🙂

[steep schooner]

Im returning to the game for Ashlands, im sure noone cares but I have to say, Hildirs request is the worst content in the entire game. The cosmetics could not be any more disappointing and I was really hoping for some fun vikings cosmetics

[vocal rivet]

Disappointing? Like 20 new items plus their stat bonus?

[river forge]

I would wait till a few more biomes

Unless you are a single player kinda guy

[brazen geode]

pirats

[fallen zephyr]

That's not a word.

[pearl plaza]

I disagree wholeheartedly. To me, worst content implies it actively makes your experience worse. It's totally ignorable. Also the clothes have utility for building

[river forge]

Ashlands isn't that impressive by itself and most servers seem to die out once people hit mistlands

[fallen zephyr]

I was right. I'm sorry I engaged.

[pliant hatch]

Question:

Is it worth to upgrade the Ashfang to lvl 2 and leave it like that, or should I stick to lvl 1 and upgrade it with the lightning gem (twice) instead to have the best effect of it?

[pearl plaza]

Ashfang has 50 points of durability at level 1, which means it will break very quickly. I would upgrade it early if you plan to use it with any regularity

[brazen geode]

pirates

[pearl plaza]

Unless you mean you have everything you need already and then I would craft it with the gem you want and upgrade it

[azure yacht]

They're not cosmetics only, and they are viking-themed

[misty sun]

yes, yield multiplier does impact items obtained from fishing, but not de feesh.

[tight yacht]

What do the clothes do?

[desert flower]

I think they could have a better passive; it's, what, 20% decrease and ONLY for building? Including farming or other "home" tasks might actually make it worth it to wear them.

[steep schooner]

It does personally make my experience worse, I went on grand adventures for some repeating sets of pajamas with different colors, the stats to help with building is so minimal it hurts, I rather keep wearing my actual armor in case of a random event, thus providing no cool cosmetics, or use to me

[pliant hatch]

Thing is that I don't have the gem yet, that it in general is doing less spirit dmg compared to the spinesnap with less durability, meaning that only the pierce dmg (which is basically useless against the Ashen skellies) is better.
Plus that I read that upgrading the weapon with a gem will put it back at tier 1, so I feel that upgrading is kinda wasting resources.

[azure yacht]

Nothing anyone can do about it

[pearl plaza]

I'm terribly sorry that your day got worse from playing the quest. Hope things get better for you

[azure yacht]

Not everyone feels the same and even more, a lot of people did want those things

Alongside the very gameplay-changing world modifiers

[desert flower]

It does feel lackluster after doing all the minibosses--almost feels more appropriate if those quests are what you did to unlock the other content gated stuff like Ymir Flesh/Eggs/Fishingpole

[pearl plaza]

Yes, it will put it back at level 1. If you prefer upgraded spinesnap, I would hold off on upgrading ashfang then

[steep schooner]

World Modifiers are great despite me not using any I didnt know they came with hildirs request so I wont say the whole update is bad but personally I dont like what Hildir herself adds, the good is the minibosses, the bad is the cosmetics, which cant even be worn alongside your armor, I was hoping for something like the barber station to allow you to equip cosmetics over your armor, and actually have fun cosmetics

[idle moon]

I like the extra raids you can get as part of Hildr's stuff

[desert flower]

An armor cosmetic swap would feel more in-line

[pearl plaza]

Yeah that's fair. My point was just that it does have utility. There are plenty of game design choices I don't agree with in the game but I generally just mod those annoyances out if they reach a threshold. I enjoyed sailing about to raid the dungeons, though. The clothing wasn't really a motivator for me

[desert flower]

I'd also be down for more Building Decorative pieces

pallette swaps and such for various housing items. if we stick with cosmetic rewards.

[azure yacht]

Fair.

But either way, that's the whole point of hildir's request, if you don't like them, don't do them. Simple as that.

Haldor sells very useful items, megingjord being the most important one, and people frustrate themselves into finding him as a result.

Adding another trader that does something similar would've have improved anything, it would make things worse. By adding functional and very useful things, players would force themselves into actively look for those things

[steep schooner]

if Hildir simply added something like painting wood walls and such it would all be worth it

[idle moon]

I've also been somewhat underwhelmed by the rewards for doing Hildr's quests; I don't usually bother doing them actually

[desert flower]

A treasure chest item, similar to the ones we find, or crafting blueprint for reskinning our weapons, or a way to paint the walls, engrave the walls, etc.

[frigid gust]

Hildir's clothing reduces stamina use for the hammer, cultivator and hoe by 40% with the full set, which is pretty significant.

[vocal rivet]

We get three different chests from Hildir.

[vapid hearth]

Quick question
Do graydwarf spawners really need a pillar holding them up?

[azure yacht]

Also the raids are a nice way of getting stuff that are normally locked behind progression, like the fuling raids.

After yag is defeated the raids stop happening, which are a good way of getting black metal. And the fuling mini boss raid can also spawn starred fulings

[desert flower]

as a placeable item?

[vocal rivet]

Yes.

[idle moon]

them cultist trophies too

[azure yacht]

What's more, they can spawn anywhere, even ashlands.

Seeing fulings invade ashlands and fight everything is truly a sight

[pliant hatch]

Right.

I've crafted one already but I will hold off upgrading it until I find the desired gem.
Thanks for the advice. 🙂

[frigid gust]

She has multiple locations for each dungeon. You take the first one to her, but you can raid the other dungeons and bring the chests home. She tells you they're forgeries if you try to return multiple of the same to her.

[desert flower]

I dont see it in her wares

[vocal rivet]

It's literally the chest you get in the quest.

[desert flower]

ah I see.

[pearl plaza]

No

[desert flower]

I meant as a buildable piece

[vocal rivet]

You don't need to build it.

[desert flower]

thank you, @vocal rivet I'm aware. I'm just talking about general unlockable cosmetic things (for example a chest, but not the only example)

[frigid gust]

Once you get the Ashlands portals they might be a bit more accessible for decoration 😉

[steep schooner]

Personally im in no rush to build or farm, ill take my sweet time and id still rather just wear my armor cause it looks cool and is immediately ready in case of an attack

[pearl plaza]

Gems are limited enough, I would test the weapons in a creative world to see what you really like and go for that

[vapid hearth]

Good, good
Also, unrelated to my inquiry, but I think I'm worried about my skelly archer potentially destroying the graydwarf nest

[pearl plaza]

I just make sure I get no archers. They only spawn 20% of the time. I make a pit and have the skeletons in there

[azure yacht]

They do, they will be destroyed if there's no ground

[desert flower]

the original discussion was about how it felt that the rewards for hidlir's was lackluster, I was just tossin around some ideas

[azure yacht]

Cover it with walls

[pearl plaza]

No they won't. I have one in my world right now without it

[paper marsh]

Can maybe put some walls around it, or burying it with a hoe. Burying draugr body piles works very well to protect them

[azure yacht]

And I had one that was destroyed the second I removed ground below it

[steep schooner]

anyone else use brute trophies as flowerpots

[edgy delta]

i just checked and look at ss channel. Does this mean we have 75?

[azure yacht]

I never thought about burying them.

And I haven't seen anyone else doing it.

[buoyant ether]

who trolled me >:::( nothing happens if i try and put the eikthyr trophy onto the alter

[vapid hearth]

Ah, walls, thank you
I'll try to get rid of any archers I summon in my attempt to get rid of my archer

[paper marsh]

gotta put it where you spawned (stones of power)

[azure yacht]

The archers are the best choices for greydwarf farming. Just use walls

[buoyant ether]

im pretty sure tha game said somethin else

[merry pebble]

Unfortunately no, every world has 20 max it seems

[buoyant ether]

how XDD

[azure yacht]

Aim at the hook

[buoyant ether]

ooooooooooooooo thats so dope

i think this game has me hooked

i just wanna buuuuuuuuuild

[vapid hearth]

So much wood... so much wood and stone...
Ahahaha.... AHAHAHAHA
THIS FEELS SO GOOD

[frigid gust]

But... how much black marble do you have? 😛

[deft tendon]

Is there anyone how has some spare pine seeds?

[azure yacht]

What?

[lunar sapphire]

Anyone who has spare pine tree seeds

[deft tendon]

Sapplins to plant Pine trees

[lunar sapphire]

(Im not asking, just relaying the message)

[deft tendon]

Pine Cone

[azure yacht]

Spawn them with devcommands (https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands)

Trading with others in this game is pointless

[deft tendon]

Oh trading is not a common thing?

[hidden gorge]

it's quicker, easier, more direct just to spawn things in

[azure yacht]

Nope, because it's very easy to simply spawn stuff and wouldn't really change anything (as whatever anything someone trades with you could've been spawned anyway)

[deft tendon]

Okey i didnt know, thanks guys!

[deft tendon]

So, how do i spawn it in?

[azure yacht]

I linked you the instructions on how to enable devcommands and how to use them above

[deft tendon]

itemset [name] [keep], that one?

[azure yacht]

In your case:

||spawn pinecone X||

X is the amount you want, 1 is default is you don't put anything

[deft tendon]

Spawn is not valid in the current context

[azure yacht]

Did you enable devcommands first?

[deft tendon]

Yes

[azure yacht]

Does it say "devcommands: enabled"?

[deft tendon]

I can open the F5 menu

So, im in the console

[azure yacht]

Open it and just type devcommands and then enter

(as in, press enter key, not type it)

[deft tendon]

That was it, thanks bro

[woeful yacht]

Out of any item in the game to spawn, you need pine cones?

[forest willow]

any news on galdr table lvl5 incoming soon?

[vocal rivet]

I'd imagine along with Deep North.

[idle moon]

Some people want gems, some people want 2 star wolves, and some people just want pine cones I guess

[mossy pond]

odin going to observe me and just seeing me build things for days on end

[shrewd fractal]

Who approved the design for the Ashlands metal cape?

It clips all over the place, clips through nearly every helmet, clips through your legs, clips through ITSELF, and looks like it's at 1.5x scale because it's too broad, too long.

That's awful.

[frail wagon]

i find it kinda funny most bosses are optional

[blazing mesa]

u got any flesh rippers u can give me?

[azure yacht]

Almost as if it was glitched and not meant to clip through things...

[vocal rivet]

It's literally designed to cover your mouth and keep the ash getting in.

[paper marsh]

I can spawn some in for you if you want

[blazing mesa]

please

[paper marsh]

I’ll be on in a little bit

[blazing mesa]

alright just @ me when u are able to give it ty

[azure yacht]

I just found out that you can increase sneak skill by sneaking around a greydwarf nest

With no dwarfs around

[paper marsh]

@blazing mesa

[blazing mesa]

here, how do i join ur world to get it?

[paper marsh]

one sec

[blazing mesa]

okay

[paper marsh]

Honestly, I haven't joined people much before. But I'm gonna try and make a server and dm you the name and password, then I think you can search for it

[blazing mesa]

alright we'll see if it works

[paper marsh]

sent the msg

[vapid hearth]

Finally... Long live the Queen...

[hidden gorge]

nah, much better to just murder all the royalty

[vapid hearth]

Okay, time to get the finewood and yggdrasil wood I need so I can reach the Ashlands

And the materials needed to create a portal, along with a stack of bones

[fair charm]

And the materials for a shield generator

[vapid hearth]

Yeah, I already have iron and copper ingots

[fair charm]

If you're planning on clearing an area before you put the shield generator up though you won't need the stack of bones because you're going to end up with heaps of charred bones which you can feed the shield generator with

[vapid hearth]

Hmm, interesting, thank you very much
How... ornery can I expect the welcoming party waiting for me at the shore to be?

[fair charm]

The orneriest

[vapid hearth]

Should I expect my colossal ship to be destroyed?

[fair charm]

Yes

Think of it like landing in swamp gear straight into a huge fuling village in a karve

[paper marsh]

I wouldn't expect the ship to be destroyed, but there's usually a big fight when you land

[brazen geode]

frost arrow good for plaints?

[fair charm]

Frost arrow good

For everywhere

[paper marsh]

yes. Good for any biome but mountain really

[brazen geode]

for moder good fire

[vapid hearth]

Goddammit

Hopefully I'll be able to get by with a melee setup and not have to rely on magic

I miss meleeing enemies

Maybe fire resistance wines will also be needed so that I can survive the hellfire myself

[vapid hearth]

Ahh, a very apt descriptor of what it will be like, thank you very much for that

And unlike this, no root harnesk to save me there

[fair charm]

Fire resistance won't do anything to stop you dying to lava

Also you'll need a ranged option for the fallen valkyries, their hitboxes are just tedious to deal with with melee

[paper marsh]

surprisingly little fire damage :/

Magic is by far easiest but melee possible. Aoe wepapons like 2h hammers, atgeir, or maybe just a sword since it has no cleave penalty can be good

[brazen geode]

needle

arrow good for?

[magic ferry]

I found one just now! I caught it and it's starting to be tamed, finally 😭

[vapid hearth]

That's fine, I have my arbalest and/or a spinebow

[fair charm]

👍

[brazen geode]

needle arrow good for?

[fair charm]

Shooting enemies

Frost is resisted by lox I think and pretty sure they're weak to pierce, or at least neutral

[paper marsh]

arrows with pierce damage (obsidian, needle, etc.) are just kind of for all around use. Against enemies not resistant to them they tend to get the highest damage

Frost slows enemies (very useful) and does better damage against enemies that are resistant to pierce (a lot of enemies are in mistlands and ashlands)

[fair charm]

But all other enemies on the plains do not resist frost and it slows enemies

[paper marsh]

neutral yea

[fair charm]

Also you're going to get a billion deathsquito spikes that have very little other use so needle arrows are great for being incredibly cheap

[paper marsh]

Frost arrows and Needle are both good in Plains. After Plains frost arrows kinda take over

[vapid hearth]

Alright, will the shield generator allow me to create wood structures without them catching on fire from the Ashlands' atmosphere?

[finite lodge]

whats that mod called where a bunch of people came together and overhauled valheim into a massive rpg

[fair charm]

Why would you want to create wooden structures?

[vapid hearth]

Because I'll need a workbench to create the shield generator

...wait, nevermind, that sounds like a catch 22

[smoky quarry]

[fair charm]

Based on the fact that I've had a workbench up under a shield generator for a few ingame weeks without it burning down

I'm going to tentatively say "Yes?"

[smoky quarry]

confirmed

[fair charm]

But even if you build a workbench it doesn't just die instantly it has to catch fire which I think needs either it to be hit with a fire based attack or be in the "Fire Rain" weather event (Is that a weather event?)

[regal spoke]

That was Glads vision iirc. Search: Valheim adventure map

[drowsy magnet]

it’s going to be a warzone until you kill every enemy in the spawn queue

[smoky quarry]

Prepare yourself

[fair charm]

Jokes on you the enemies cheat and just get back in the spawn queue as soon as you kill them

[drowsy magnet]

at least for up to 30 minutes

[smoky quarry]

until your Rest goes, thats for sure

[fair charm]

If you don't mind a minor spoiler
||SEE RED GLOW KILL RED GLOW SHOOT RED GLOW ROCK WITH ARROW HIT WITH SWORD STUPID SPAWNER GO STRAIGHT TO HELL||

[frail wagon]

What's the plant in the swamp and what dose it look like

[fair charm]

Turnips and it has yellow flowers, it's annoying to find because it doesn't spawn in water

[smoky quarry]

its usually behind a tree that you pass by and never notice

[vapid hearth]

Welp, if I'm gonna be needing AOE, then it seems like I'll be sticking with magic for a little longer

[frail wagon]

YES turnips

[finite lodge]

is magic really all that good?

[fair charm]

Yes magic is probably the best form of combat in valheim

[smoky quarry]

nah, nothing compares to a trusty sword

[hidden gorge]

1.) you can shoot up and down
2.) there's aoe

[fair charm]

Yepp

[hidden gorge]

you can't trust a sword to swing at an enemy 3cm lower than you

[smoky quarry]

sword dps much better

[fair charm]

Also because you're doing elemental damage pretty much everything is weak or at least neutral to some of the damage you're doing

[smoky quarry]

combo is ultra mega

[woeful yacht]

I dream of being strong enough to 3-tap a 2 star morgen

[hidden gorge]

cope and seethe, swords are mediocre at best

[fair charm]

Whereas with physical damage so SO many things are resistant to slash/blunt/pierce

[hidden gorge]

and I say that as someone who really wants to like swords

[smoky quarry]

sword, mace...w/e. trusty weap

[fair charm]

Especially in the mistlands where you pick up magic for the first time

[regal spoke]

Can the new gems be equipped to spears

[vapid hearth]

Ah fuck, I just learned the mechanical spring is used for a black forge upgrade

[quaint copper]

Can you craft/build maypoles yet? <_< Or am I just missing something to make it?

[vapid hearth]

You can, yep

[quaint copper]

Nice! I must be missing a flower thanks 🙂

[vapid hearth]

Oh, and portals, can't forget those

[finite lodge]

staff of embers seems not to hit very hard

skill issue most likely the cause

[smoky quarry]

I'm not saying its the player.... but its the player

[pearl plaza]

Embers does a good amount as a stacking DoT. Frost staff is higher raw DPS/ more eitr efficient

And yes, skill level is important

[willow venture]

Hey yall, I have the ability to visit the ashlands for the first time, but I am honestly terrified to do so. Anyone have any suggestions?

[quaint copper]

Do not be scared, be bold.

Don't need a shield. Wood structures are generally fine in Ashlands short of mobs besieging your base

[hidden gorge]

I mean... that's generally what people do. nothing wrong with that

[willow venture]

that is true

however my main goal is preferably not to do so

will I be overwhelmed with charred if I just go onto land? Like how many of them are there

[hidden gorge]

yes

[willow venture]

well thats reassuring

[paper marsh]

Could be a good idea to bring some AoE weapons. Mage does very well. Don't forget to use mobs against each other (you'll see what I mean) 😉

[willow venture]

oh lord

my main weapon is himminafl so AoE is no issue

[paper marsh]

yea himmin afl OP

[vapid hearth]

I've yet to continue using that 😦
It's been collecting dust in favor of my carapace spear, then my magic

[smoky quarry]

a shotgun would work here

[tepid prawn]

the shotgun is actually quite good with high skill especially

[merry sun]

Most enemies resist to pierce

[willow venture]

yeah but it should stagger im hoping

[paper marsh]

yea it does fine. Still staggers and deals great damage. It also has the lightning component which nothing resists

[merry sun]

Effectively, Mistwalker is the best melee weapon at early and mid ash

[willow venture]

im bringing a friend who has Mistwalker

[merry sun]

Very good

[paper marsh]

just up to playstyle

[merry sun]

Effectively, no playstyle

Talking about Numbers and situations

[willow venture]

wish me luck o7

[smoky quarry]

try the deer power

[merry sun]

Bonemass is absolutely Peak at ALL biomes

[smoky quarry]

moving around & aoe is primary in Ash, deer lets you marathon

[merry sun]

Btw what difficult your world is set? @willow venture

[smoky quarry]

suplement bonemass power by dodging

[paper marsh]

Bonemass and Eikthyr can be very useful. Other boss powers feel more situational to me

[smoky quarry]

eikthyr with the feather cape & a fire pot On. Run & Jump like a madman

[willow venture]

ah fooie, shouldve done more research, our boat burned away and left us to fight a bonemaw lmao, we killed it but now we stuck

[smoky quarry]

wait around , another will show up

[merry sun]

Bros are NOT checking undone bench upgrades

[smoky quarry]

not sure how to troll my brother when he joins to see Ashlands 1st. I`ll take him by boat initially. Im Mistlands i took him towards a Gjall and told him to hide under it for protection.. Any ideas?

[paper marsh]

Go on a raft

[smoky quarry]

nah, thats to obvious. He will get excited with the new boat

[paper marsh]

Tell him there's friendly bigger versions of necks that he can ride on if he walks up and presses right click

[smoky quarry]

still have 5 days to think on this

hes suspicious now, after 3 biomes of trickeries

[paper marsh]

Alternate approach: Don't tell him anything and let the biome trick him by itself

[smoky quarry]

the fire could prove useful somehow

[merry sun]

Say something about morgen hole, and say its abandoned or there is nothing there

[smoky quarry]

Quick, hide in that hole, go!

[merry sun]

(Some holes are really abandoned)

Best death experience in ashland, while naked trying to get my gear back, i was watching my friends fighting the mobs to clear the way. Was watching "in the water".. learned a good lesson that day.

[smoky quarry]

if it works one time, even better
