[azure yacht]

I was going to say this...

It shouldn't.

But it still requires workbench

[livid widget]

Yeah I think the server setting isn't working or something

It's in gportal control panel settings

[azure yacht]

Then it must not be enabled.

No cost removes the cost of literally all tools that can place something in the world.

Even cultivator

[livid widget]

The setting is most definitely enabled, but it's not working. Something is broken on their end. Probably didn't pass the command, or update a file, or however it works on dedsrv

It's a toggle switch on the server dashboard

[lunar thistle]

hammer still borks

[azure yacht]

Something to report to them then, you can test the raise ground in a solo player with no cost on to check that it does work

[vapid hearth]

It's nighttime, so right now I'm staying put in this hill while waiting for this one star ask to finish taming

[frail wagon]

imagine if they added wolf sleds some day

[livid widget]

be happy with lox bags

makes no sense you can't load them up

[vapid hearth]

Wooo, an empty terrain field in the ashlands!
This must be my lucky break!
I should get rid of all the spawners I see here, thank goodness for lava slimes

Oh wait, flametal ore isn't glowing orange anymore, it's those columnar jointing rock-looking things

Man, if I knew this sooner, I wouldn't have been stuck with how to progress for several in-game days
And thank fuck for the Queen's power

...wow, stone portals are much bigger than I thought :O
Good thing this base barely had enough interior room for it, it was getting dark

[radiant umbra]

compared to the other biomes how long is ashlands

[azure yacht]

+30 hours

[dull sand]

Hello everyone, i've been experiencing a disturbing issue, i've been trying to play the game with friends lately but it keeps disconnecting me from the server, so far i tried : Running the game as administrator, disabled my firewall for a bit, checked my file integrity.

I'd appreciate any help

[smoky quarry]

instable connection. Is it wired or wireless? Laptop? Router?

[dull sand]

router and wireless (wifi), i use a laptop yes

[smoky quarry]

ah, the most troublesome combo

maybe update drivers of mobo & wifi, otherwise get wired.

if you have intel wifi, def update; some versions were bugged with d/c

[dull sand]

i'll try this out for now, thanks a lot !

[smoky quarry]

also try a diff server see if it repeats, with new toon

[livid widget]

Do they provide a larger door or gate that lox can fit through?

Or will they fit through 2 gates?

[tight pollen]

Does anyone wanna play multiplayer? I just beat the game and still wanna play it

[verbal radish]

Assault the fortress with catapult and ram ? No , assault it with the Hoe .

Hoe your way up to victory .

[vapid hearth]

...well shit, my base got attacked. I died, and I lost my portal to the ashlands

I seriously hope my ship won't be next

[vapid hearth]

Holy fuck, this biome feels like I'm in Caelid
Fortunately my ship's intact

[foggy glacier]

sounds about right.

[urban ivy]

Almost finished my 2nd stack of Celestial Feathers and still not Valkyrie trophy 😞

[foggy glacier]

is the trophy just for bragging rights or does it have a crafting use?

[urban ivy]

I just want it for my trophy wall but I feel like it would have no other use if the drop rate is this low? Could be wrong though o:

[outer spindle]

Is there a tool online that can tell me what is the height of the mountains in my seed? Trying to setup a viking airlines. Many are not as high as I would like

[verbal radish]

Trophy can be uses on automated balista to order it to target specific enemy instead all including you

[mint blade]

you can go valheim-map.world and go to mountain biomes and look there but there isn’t anything to check the height

https://m.valheim-map.world

[drowsy magnet]

there is a mod

[idle moon]

is there a rationale behind why they only allow you to assign one trophy to a ballista or is it just something that would be difficult to implement?

[livid widget]

Box stuffed with sausage!

Best all-around food

[paper marsh]

Prob just to stop them from being too good

[livid widget]

Got rekt by Yagluth

Need fire resist pots?

[drowsy magnet]

yea the devs prob think it would be too OP if you could use multiple trophies, but then if you don't feed it any trophy, it shoots anything (including you), making it already OP

[paper marsh]

Pretty much yea

[idle moon]

it doesn't seem like it does too muchh damage, and they're fairly expensive to build and arm

[paper marsh]

I also recommend a bit of fenris armor to outrun his attacks

[finite lodge]

what forsaken power is best to use throughout asslands? bonemass still?

[paper marsh]

Fairly expensive to build but they last forever. Cheap to arm. Great damage if you have a few of them. Best used against large/slow targets. If you parry an enemy in front of ballistas they will shred it.

[paper marsh]

Bonemass is the fan favorite for making the game easy mode. Eikthyr and Queen are pretty good too though

[livid widget]

Is Yagluth vuln to silver/spirit

[drowsy magnet]

they are weak to spirit

[paper marsh]

No, but he does take damage from it. Silver weapons are pretty effective against him. Silver sword and frostner can do even better than blackmetal weapons

[finite lodge]

i got 100-0'd in full armor by a 2star elite in ashlands, it honestly was exactly like facechecking a bush with a 1000 stacked nasus sitting inside it

[paper marsh]

2 stars get real bad on vhard

Trick is to not get hit

[tight yacht]

what are the best crops to grow once you hit plains?

[lunar thistle]

woah...

[whole iris]

If I may ask, without spoilers, is it ever revealed what the giant glowing branches in the sky are? Or just assumed to be the branched of Yggdrasill, the World Tree?

[lunar thistle]

you can see its roots and theyre called yggrasil shoots orsomething

[whole iris]

ah sweet. Loving all the little lore easter eggs in the game so far

[vocal rivet]

Pretty much stated that's the case. As much a spoiler as saying you're a viking.

[drowsy magnet]

barley, and lots of it

[whole iris]

totally, thank you! Looking forward to all the other little mythology references in the game, really enjoying it for the 50 hours I've played so far. Soon to be 500+ I'm sure

[vapid hearth]

Do the Ashlands have naturally high spawn rates in general or is it the spawners causing such high spawn rates?

[tight yacht]

any other veggies or just that

[vocal rivet]

Spawn rates are the same in all biomes.

[vapid hearth]

Interesting
So it must be the spawners, then, because the spawn rates here feel rather high

[drowsy magnet]

onions for cheap stamina food

[outer spindle]

Not so much the range but the open field and sight lines

[tight yacht]

can i use onions to feed boars as well?

[vapid hearth]

Ahh, dammit
And a very high line of sight
I gotta learn how to handle hordes, because so far the only thing that can be done is to avoid attracting them in the first place. Maybe killing everything I see in the way so that those same enemies I didn't kill don't end up forming a horde

[eternal raven]

Do u guy get laggy when you go to ashland

like enemies just moonwalk teleport and sometime our character just froze like 3 or 4 secs

For me sometime the laggy just kill me when I try to parkour

[livid widget]

Finally went into mistlands. Yikes. Can't see anything. NOt sure I like that.

[eternal raven]

wait until u went to ashland last night I die over there like 9 times

[fossil salmon]

Does the fog not go away in the plains anymore? There's a foggy spot in the plains that's been there for about 6 game days now.

[drowsy magnet]

only 9 times? that's rookie numbers

[eternal raven]

yikes

[fossil salmon]

80% of my deaths were in the Mistlands while only being 10% of my play time

[eternal raven]

do u mostly die to random stuff or got kill by enemies
for me I just die to lava like 5 times

[eternal raven]

what about plain the mosquito

[fossil salmon]

I always have my shield out. Even when I eat, sleep, go the bathroom...

[eternal raven]

god damn u prepare better than me

[fossil salmon]

on a corspe run in the plains, I at least carry a wooden shield

[eternal raven]

I remember my experience in plain just me dying to mosquito like all the times

[drowsy magnet]

my first time in the Ashlands was during PTB, mainly die to water, it was instant death! But now touching water doesn't instantly kill you anymore, what a shame

[eternal raven]

ahh the water my old nightmare

one weird reason I like to make my character black like really black and I play with my other 3 friends but the weirdest is for some reason the enemies like to target me the most I don't why but man. I play as mage and they just run through my friends and come to me

[fossil salmon]

profiling

[eternal raven]

bro I rage like hell like game why me I'm at the back of the line I'm mage I got 4 skelets in front of me why not target them

and I am leagues of legend player but man this rage is more than leagues

[drowsy magnet]

cause you're the main character, your friends only side characters

[strange arrow]

and the game really wants to kill you

a lot

[eternal raven]

haha maybe man If I record the moder fight yall will be saying why target him cuz 2 of my friends were fighting moder and me and my other friend try to kill golem and all of sudden the moder fly over 1 of my friend who is closer to moder than me and just spray me to the ground

[strange arrow]

ah man, loose golem in moder fight is such a pain

[eternal raven]

yep ahh the pain the memory

[strange arrow]

holes were dug, lessons were learned

[eternal raven]

yes sir

[strange arrow]

i meant for my group lol, we always prep the area at least a bit nowdays

[eternal raven]

mine too but I think I might be the problem

last night I parkour right into lava

oh btw is the deep north might be the last update of game ?

[tepid prawn]

will be the last full biome with a boss etc

[strange arrow]

we won't know for sure until the 1.0 sticker hits, but it's the last major development and biome

[eternal raven]

ahhh can't wait to die there too

my grave stone mark all my journey

[strange arrow]

add a bit more gitgudness to yr diet

[eternal raven]

i will

[drowsy magnet]

drink less skillissue

[strange arrow]

just gotta keep that bubble up and gg

maybe find a mount for the lava

[fossil salmon]

There should be Butcher skill that gives more meat yield

[eternal raven]

ahh i will guy i will
hmmm the pain of skillissue

[livid widget]

yep, don't think I like mistlands. being blind isn't fun.

[fossil salmon]

and you need the endurance of a crossfit competitor

[tiny tiger]

Lingering stamina mead helps a lot

[strange arrow]

in a group aren't ppl rotating boss buffs around as well?

[finite lodge]

if i have a structure thats like 5 stone pillars tall, can i double that size if i stack wood on top of that?

[strange arrow]

wood will go up another 20m on top of stone/marble/grausten

[finite lodge]

does it matter if i use iron wood beams on the corners?

[strange arrow]

if they touch the ground and form a chain of support it should help, but even that will max out

[fierce granite]

does someone know if the blocking skill EXP scale with damage or quantity of hits?

[strange arrow]

the latter

[finite lodge]

what if they can only touch the stone/marble/gausten? im trying to make a unnecessarily tall chimney

[strange arrow]

then you get standard support wood gets like it's on the ground

[vapid hearth]

...well goddamn, seems like I have to build platforms over the lava rather than right on top of it

[strange arrow]

iron beams themselves only stack up to 25 high (50m) and then you can get another 20m out of regular wood so the max you can build from ground level without raising it at all or using other methods is 70m

if you raise ground and use a pine tree combined with all that you can reach 100m in height from water table level

[drowsy magnet]

what if you do it on the very top of the highest mountain

[strange arrow]

kinda nice near the top when all the pieces start to get snow dusted

[strange arrow]

nvm can't plant there, 78m max

[fossil salmon]

the highest I've gotten is around 88m

[strange arrow]

i have a shot somewhere of a 100m tower i built myself, unfortunately it got scrubbed in a data loss and the shot is hard to retrieve

[fossil salmon]

I had to use fir because it was in the mounatins

[strange arrow]

others have done so as well tho, i'm p.sure @restive gull has one (apologies if the ping is bad timed)

[fossil salmon]

I put a pic in #screenshots

[mossy river]

You can plant firs on the mountain, height has some RNG because trees have a random scaling factor applied to them. Then I was told there is some wonkiness where you can cut the tree down but still get its grounding effect?

[strange arrow]

yes once a tree has grown the snap points at the top stay forever

[mossy river]

There are mountains taller than the cloud layer present on some maps. So if you built on top of one, at the top of your tower, it would look like you were looking down on a snow plane.

[strange arrow]

pines grow the tallest of all, though there's some variation in height with those as well iirc

[fossil salmon]

Yeah, my mountain is well above the clouds

[strange arrow]

and they don't grow everywhere, sadly

[vapid hearth]

Wow, spears are surprisingly effective against asks
One less mob to worry about

[strange arrow]

do you know the max they can reach?

[mossy river]

Is there a way to spawn trees with the console to get the scaling factor you want? Probably not. Without mods you need to do trial and error to get a big one. If someone could look at the code to see the randomness of the scaling factor, that would be our answer.

My guess is that it picks a model, then a random number to do 80-120% scaling or something like that

[strange arrow]

well with building limits at 78m, and clarke getting to 88m it would seem 10m is around what yr gonna get out of them

it's probably in the range of 8-12 but i'm not gonna spend hours testing it

[mossy river]

Agreed

[strange arrow]

one day mountain pine, one day..

fr tho i'd rather have onions as plantable in the mountains, liven up those drab surroundings a bit

deep north could be sending us back there with new building materials

[vapid hearth]

Hmmm, I feel like my tamed one star asks will get mollywhopped by the other Ashlands mobs, so I'll probably need to somehow keep them safe

[restive gull]

🪄 🗼

I've built height limit twice
once with cost (never again)
once with no cost (veri fun)

[vapid hearth]

If the Ashlands, the second-to-last biome, keeps kicking my ass this hard, I have to wonder much of a rage quit point the Deep North will end up being

[finite lodge]

if i put 4 logs together tightly will it count as a roof?

[tepid pike]

No, only roof pieces and stone flooring count as roofs

[finite lodge]

do decorative walls let smoke out?

[tepid pike]

i don't believe so, but I've not tested it myself

[near sigil]

if you're thinking cages and the likes, iirc no

[finite lodge]

like ashwood decorative wall

[lunar thistle]

who knows how many more there'll be

[tepid pike]

highly unlikely .. smoke needs at least a 1 metre gap to get out

[lunar thistle]

also i kinda hope the next biome is like, plains difficulty, maybe a little higher
introducing new magic stuff hopefully, magic feels pretty lacking rn

[idle storm]

magic is OP as hell in Ashlands

[lunar thistle]

i do not mean in balancing

[idle storm]

Also i very much doubt that DN will be LESS difficult than Ashlands.

[lunar thistle]

theres just not much to it, 2 armor sets designed around it, both at the end of the game, and its just innaccesible until you get to mistlands

[lunar thistle]

has it been confirmed that deep north is the next biome though

because yeah itd probably be harder but i dont think they've stated whats coming next

[idle storm]

Unless you're hoping for an ocean update DN is pretty much the only one left

[lunar thistle]

they can add new stuff

unless they've specifically said "nope no new biomes"

[vapid hearth]

Uggghhh, why do I keep fake-falling when I'm on a flammetal pillar?

[near sigil]

known bug sadly :(

[idle storm]

they could, but iirc they've already said they don't plan on adding more. Don't quote me on that though, i may be misremembering

[lunar thistle]

even then i feel like they can still improve upon old biomes

[tepid pike]

they have stated that Deep North will be the next biome, then possibly a smaller ocean update after that

[lunar thistle]

if magic could be obtained anywhere other than mistlands id for sure say plains bc of the shamans and such

[lunar thistle]

where

[vapid hearth]

Aww man, I'm only able to mine one stack of flammetal ore ._.
I don't even know how I'm supposed to handle the other ones

Imma have to decide REAAAAALLY carefully how I'll be using my flametal. I think I'll focus on the battering ram

[tepid pike]

Smiffe mentioned it somewhere here within the last 2 or 3 days

[lunar thistle]

ur right

deep north then ocean then the games in 1.0 state i guess

[idle storm]

You'll be disappointed. It's clunky and rather useless.
You don't even need a battering ram for fortresses, you can just use the hoe to raise a terrain pillar and hop over the walls (after bombarding the inside with ranged weapons/magic).

fun for mining anywhere BUT the Ashlands though.

[lunar thistle]

methink itd be cool if there were underwater places to go, like that one dungeon from destiny 2, and you needed an item to let u breath long enough to get down there

[tepid pike]

#general message

[lunar thistle]

but its so awesome i can just ram into shit and watch it explode

[idle storm]

You're not wrong
Probably better to spend your first flametal on cauldron and black forge upgrades though (and maybe a weapon or two, magic staves don't need a lot of metal to craft).

[lunar thistle]

r the flametal weapons any good ive only tried the slayer

[near sigil]

in my lowly humble opinion, the slayer is the most dog shit of the weapons

ok i kid but the rest of the flametals definitely outperforms the slayer

[lunar thistle]

the two handed weapons all suck is something i agree with but its special attack is reallllyyy good

the normal attacks are super slow so having one attack that does 3 hits worth of damage + has insane range and stagger potential is very nice

as a weapon outside of that one cool thing thouhg it stinks yeah

but like i got the electric thing for it and i think thats cool as fuck so i cant swap

[idle storm]

(Blood) Ripper is definitely worth it, as are the lightning axes

[lunar thistle]

eyeing up the lightning axes for my friends world

[near sigil]

the lightning axes fucks, by a country mile

[lunar thistle]

we're barely even at mountains after 40 hours 😭

[near sigil]

faster attacks => more lightning procs

[idle storm]

The mace is nice too, i'd skip the Nidhogg variants though unless you're going for full completion (they're not really better than Mistwalker).

[half dragon]

No need to rush at all. Just enjoy the experience. I was at about 60 hour mark and still in plains despite of being a veteran player... just got stuck building a fancy base in plains for a few weeks.

[tiny tiger]

Endgame I wanna rock the flame sword, lightning axes and frostner

Seems to hit alot of mobs for good damage

[near sigil]

a huge chunk of my playtime is in my cheat world designing houses

[half dragon]

I've designed only the basement of my house in a cheat world and never anything else. I just need to know what kind of shape it's going to be before I can start building anything else

I design as I build, I have no idea what I'm building until I'm half way done

[near sigil]

I have issues with build size lol, if I do that my builds would be half way done and I wouldn't be able to build any taller

[idle storm]

pretty much this. I usually only start with a general idea and go from there. If it doesn't work out i can always tear it down.

[near sigil]

always have to test if I can build as tall and as big as I wanna

[half dragon]

I usually just findd a creative solution to the problem and change things a little bit, has worked out so far

biggest problem I faced with my tavern was that the "attic" central beams did not allign with support beams on floors below, took a while to figure out how to make that work and not leave any ugly looking angled support beams on full display

[vapid hearth]

Oooh, thank you very much
So much for FORTRESS TIME

Now I just need to craft another hoe because I always keep throwing mine away to make room for anything else

[lunar thistle]

this may be my problem

[eternal raven]

why ppl can imagine a building inside their mind and make it looks so good. I can't do that all I can build is a small house that resemble the dirt house in minecraft

[half dragon]

all you can really do is try doing something differently. Doing the same thing over and over again will not get different results. Even if it doesn't end up looking good can always just try again and again.

I usually just go for very simple shape for the building, once I have a part of it done I start thinking about how can I change it to make it look better

[near sigil]

framing out your build first definitely helps a lot, lets you visualize what your build will look like shape-wise, and provides structural support for you to build off of later

[tepid prawn]

I often use the terrain as inspiration, I am building a mountain fortress that has a certain shape and also has 3 different heights on the building area due to how max raise limit works, so I will work with that, before I prepared the area I did not know how it would turn out, all I know now is that i need a lot of stone and iron and what sort of parts the fortress will have in terms of functionality and that I want a bailey with some fir trees

[eternal raven]

Never thought of that thank

[half dragon]

also mixing different building materials is kind of an easy way to make it look different (and hopefully better). Mixing stone and wood is one one option, or maybe multiple types of wood, such as those corewood poles and regular wood

[eternal raven]

Ahh I get it now

I might try go simple and then when it turn out mehh I might add some other wood and stone

Thank you guy for the help

[half dragon]

Good luck!

[tepid prawn]

I also like to lay it out including heights, first the footprint, then the height to some extent and put some roofs before I add all the inside walls and floors and room dividing features. then decorate at the end

[fleet ingot]

guys...deep north when?

[merry pebble]

When it Is done 😄

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/giphy-no-content-not-available-no-gif-giphy-sucks-gif-18508448

[wraith sun]

It's already there, very peaceful, a special type of floating ice you can break but not harvest and a unique type of fish you can catch 😄

[vapid hearth]

I remember when the Ashlands were peaceful
Good times

[merry pebble]

That reminds be i should go check my old surtling farm xD tho there is not much left of it most likely

[modest egret]

ok so how is this server now? for like 6 months ago someone hacked this server and it was like over 90 message here and it as so strang ei could not leave

[merry pebble]

The server Is doing fine 😄 it was back up few hours after the "hacking"

[modest egret]

you know what i mean right? and what you mean with backup

what you mean witn backup

[vapid hearth]

I think imma wait until the Lavaiathan bug gets fixed before I attempt to mine any more flametal ore

[merry pebble]

That the hackers were gone and normal people could again chat normaly

[modest egret]

ok

[fossil umbra]

can i block trolls attack with skeleton tower shield?

troll with log

[merry pebble]

Not sure, i dont really use Tower shields 😅

[fossil umbra]

i started a new world and i dont remember xD

tried it and he dealth me 50 dmg but i had fruits not meat

[merry pebble]

I know you can parry it with bronze buckler but thats about it xD

[honest kelp]

What's that

[fossil umbra]

wooden round shield maybe? xD

[merry pebble]

That i really don't think so XD

[fossil umbra]

i deleted my 700 days world cus i was playing on easy mode + mods and now im playing on normal world without any mods and easy options

[wraith sun]

Yes you can, depending on your max health (food, this has a huge impact on block/parry ability), shield level and block skill

[merry pebble]

The sinking pillars of flametal in ashlands

[honest kelp]

@merry pebble yea I know what they are but what's the bug

Just got to the ashlands

[fossil umbra]

i have deer, boar meat and honey

[merry pebble]

That either by reloging or going through portal you will unload the area and the pillar will stop sinking

[honest kelp]

Ah well i play on a dedicated

So I guess it's nice to know I thought it might be something game breaking

[wraith sun]

I haven't tried with that, but from my experience with shield and parry then your odds doesn't look good, but I lack experiences with tower shields as I prefere to parry

[merry pebble]

Or Its the other bug where you float/slide on it.

[honest kelp]

Isn't block with a shield based on max health

Nvm

I seen you response also thanks for the info @merry pebble

[wraith sun]

Max health, block skill, shield level and overall armor rating

Fx I wouldn't be suprised if you could parry a troll with a level 1 wooden shield if you where eating top mistlands or ashlands health food and no armor

[fossil umbra]

this troll is angry af, hes inside a cave and cant even parry his attacks

and he has a log

[wraith sun]

Tower shields (includes bone shield) can't parry

[fossil umbra]

i used wooden round shield too

lvl 3

[wraith sun]

Then let him be until you get better health food, you get bronze gear or practice dodging/rolling while fighting them 🙂

[gentle bloom]

is there a proper bug report forum or so ?

[fossil umbra]

died

[wraith sun]

Is part of the game while practicing getting better ^^

[fossil umbra]

he boinged me :///

i have full meat meal now

[wraith sun]

He is an ai, your a human with a brain, use that advantage against it 😄

[fossil umbra]

got my stuff back

parried log upper attack with wooden shield xD

why cant he leave his cave? 😦

@wraith sun

killed him 😄

[vapid hearth]

That's the bug I meant!
That bug means I can't jump up and mine the higher nodes, nor jump off until I touch lava

[mossy river]

I wouldn't count on there being a solution to that bug any time soon.

It's not in the current PTB, at least.

[drowsy magnet]

first half of 21st century

[honest kelp]

I need 2 fish and idk how I feel about going to the north kinda like my world

[verbal radish]

I would be careful and not going north now...

[tacit crown]

I would also be careful and not going north now...

[honest kelp]

Well I kinda just need that fish for the hat lol

At least far enough for the fish

[tiny tiger]

Try the corners of the deep north

[honest kelp]

Definitely keep that in mind

[drowsy magnet]

just visit it now, Deep North release is likely 2 years off and you'll likely want to start fresh by then

[river forge]

[honest kelp]

Idk man I kinda like to hold onto my world

Lol

[river forge]

two years??

Two years later, valheim?, what's that?

[honest kelp]

[river forge]

Was it two years between mistlands and ashlands?

[honest kelp]

Year and half I believe

[river forge]

I'm getting older

[honest kelp]

[ocean breach]

I noticed in lfg same people often jump servers. U see same people week after week looking for server to play in. What's up with that ?

[honest kelp]

Idk servers are cheap to rent really

10 a month isn't much

[ocean breach]

But what is the point lose your progression and keep starting over in new server ?

[sharp panther]

I see a lot of conversations about Staff of fracturing on Reddit, and here when I searched the same takes appear. People say it's bad or useless. I played with it a bit, and I made some math. (The patience and true power parts of the description lead me to that) I genuinely think this gun is a spinesnap 2.0. It is decent in current biome, but will be unquestionably best choice for next biome.

Even in ashlands it is not a bad choice. Unlike embers it's a single target weapon but it deals a bit more damage in a direct hit and is cheaper to cast. Perfectly usable in ashlands but nothing spectacular.

However I want to guide your attention to the insane fire damage this staff can output. Lvl 3 fracturing staff: 288 fire damage (direct hit), Lvl4 embers staff: 138. If Deep north will have enemies not resistant to fire, SoF will do 67% more damage on a direct hit than embers (assuming no blunt resist either). If we will face enemies weak to fire, this goes to whopping 76%. And we are still talking about lvl3 staff of fracturing. lvl4 gives addiitional 72 fire damage totaling 360 fire damage on a single direct hit. This is humungous compared to 138 of staff of embers.

I now definitely understand why this staff wasn't buffed after PTB. It is deceptively strong, it can kill seeker soldiers in seconds, it's just not great against fire resisting enemies.

[drowsy magnet]

They're only interested in the exciting beginnings but when the game progresses to later stages they bail and switch to new servers and continues until they get bored and delete the game then move on to ruin other games

[honest kelp]

I mean I definitely loved the early game it wasn't so prep intense but late game can be fun too if you stay prepping and collecting

Just made it to ashlands tonight

[eternal raven]

I see your take and I agree and 1 more thing about the staff it can output the knockback more then the staff of ember even tho it have the same knockback dmg

It does help me when I got surrounded

[sharp panther]

Indeed. It's not half bad. I think a lot of complains come from the fact that players generally expect cluster bomb weapons to be a "shoot into ground under group of enemies" weapons. Not single target direct hit ones.

Thats what I expected too tbh

Also this game could really use notation that borderlands uses for shotguns. If you have 12 pellets doing 30 damage, it should display 12x30 fire, not just 30 fire. It looks worse than it in reality is on weapon card.

[eternal raven]

I see why ppl like the aoe dmg with single shot cuz it nice but with the projectiles that come out when the fire explode it kinda go everywhere. And ppl really like high dmg weapon and with staff of ember is have a big hitbox so that why ppl like it

for me I just use both stuff to help me get out when I got surrounded. if u fight 2 or 3 enemies why not use Staff of Frost or Dundr.

[sharp panther]

Embers is kinda 3x simpler to use and has negligibly worse single target performance in ashlands. No doubt why its so loved compared to the fracturing. I expect the sentiment to flip once we fight stronger single targets that arent resistant to fire,

[eternal raven]

i will say the ember really help me fight with the flee better than the fracturing that all I will say

[sharp panther]

Dundr is pretty amazing but i cant help but wish it had tighter spread. Even for game shotgun standards it is WILD how inaccurate this thing is.

I usually fire it point blank.

[eternal raven]

and if fight the big boy or numerous enemies use the Staff of the Wild it really useful in that time

[eternal raven]

same

[eternal raven]

it is a shotgun combine with a magic. If it have a tighter spread it lose out the magic side.

[sharp panther]

I suppose so, but I feel its too much. It's so much that its a de-facto melee weapon. Maybe it was the intent but it still feels off to me.

[eternal raven]

it ok ppl have different point of view

I'm kinda Autistic and I have a wild imagination so that why it ok for me

but this imagination can't help me build a beautiful house

[sharp panther]

You can't just make something great on imagination/talent alone

it takes a lot of practice to get good. Building in games is no exception

[eternal raven]

yeah I often jump from 1 thing to other thing too fast

[sharp panther]

With every building you make and every building tutorial you will eventually get good

[sharp panther]

Hahahah relatable

[eternal raven]

building house not my stuff but in minecraft red stone auto farm I ok to build it

[eternal raven]

other in this server did gave me this advise and I really learn a lot cuz first I need to go simple not too big and then if u think it can change or upgrade just put other materials on to see if it look good on it or not

[sharp panther]

Sounds very reasonable

[barren oar]

[lyric olive]

So far the Ashlands is hm.. Kinda bullshit with the amount of enemies

Every 10 seconds you get more enemies, its hard to ever make much progress

I think the respawn rates should be halved

It's meant to be an exploring game not a fight an enemy every 5 seconds game

I think they lost what was fun about Valheim with this biome.

It would be fine if like you get a swarm every so often but its all the time

[outer spindle]

Apparently Ashlands have the same spawn rate as every other biome. It's just wide and open so everything draws aggro instantly.

[indigo lintel]

I haven't been to ashlands yet, but if I'd want to build, say, a base, spawn workbenches to get some peace?

[outer spindle]

Yes but again, the whole place is wide open when you are exploring so you will be assailed by mobs constantly.

[near saddle]

@lyric olive spawnproof with campfires, and keep in mind you don't have to fight everything

I've seen those posts on reddit about how they spent all day fighting and cleared barely any land - huh?
Just run! (with portal mats)

[lyric olive]

Tried to run. It doesn't really work because the fast dogs can chase you indefinitely and the flying ghost thing

There's too many enemies that can chase you forever, yes the warriors cant but they're about the only thing that cant

[near saddle]

nothing chases you forever, I know because I just run

[lyric olive]

I died because I got sandwiched between a ghost thing while running from a dog, if you get caught with no stam between them you're 99% just dead

[paper marsh]

With fenris armor Askvin cape and decent run skill you can easily run from most stuff

[lyric olive]

Then you have no armour and cant fight anything

[near saddle]

valkyries are a problem, yeah, but those are rare, and you can run...elsewhere

[lyric olive]

RARE???? I see it every corner

I encountered like 4 in a row yesterday

[near saddle]

less common than morgens, in my experience

[paper marsh]

Don’t need to fight while you run. And can change armor set to fight if you need, or just run mage which doesn’t need armor

[lyric olive]

I'm the malee guy with a sword, my friend is a mage

[near saddle]

you can also run and place campfires, to block spawns the next time you're around

[paper marsh]

Mhm, I’m both 😄

[near sigil]

damn can we swap worlds, morgens I can count on my fingers rn and I have a boatload of feathers

[near saddle]

also - coasts are much safer, because the enemies are only on one side

[lyric olive]

That sounds cheap though

Then again I do glitch into the fortresses every time so

I kill all the enemies in it because its easier then doing it outside

[near saddle]

I dislike the sentiment that spawnproofing is cheating - the developers do everything to make the biome difficult, and to me it just feels like working with the game mechanics provided

[sharp panther]

I think the most reliable stat in ashlands is to just take it slow and kill shit in sight. Very rarely I get overwhelmed if I do this. Marking putrid holes on map is also very good, they are free zones in case you do need to run.

[lyric olive]

Ashlands shouldn't even have spawn points to be destroyed, the natural respawn rate is ridiculously high anyway

[sharp panther]

Its not a pvp game, everything depends on what you/your group or server deems to be cheat/cheese.

[near sigil]

i think it's worth it to point out that spawn points activate up to 60 meters away from you, and enemies detect you from 30 meters away

that's a gigantic radius, a lot of the spawns you're seeing is likely spawners

[lyric olive]

Nah I don't want to cheese that, I need the challenge because if there's one thing the ashlands got right its the difficulty. It is hard, and I think this game needed a hard biome

Plains was way too easy, you rarely get more than like 3 enemies at once, the mistland is the same, ashlands is the opposite

[azure yacht]

Literally the reason is to not fight them with that gear combo...

[near saddle]

I get pretty frustrated even in a group and with spawnproofing 😭

[azure yacht]

"you can easily run from most stuff"

[lyric olive]

Yeah me and my friend just ignore the enemies until we get a dog, then we have to kill that

My friend has a low run stat so he cant outrun most things

[azure yacht]

Fenris and asksvin cape give you speed

[near saddle]

a very strong combo is 1 being a mage who spams the bubble, the rest of us fighting
keeping bonemass for particularly strong encounters like a valkyrie or in case the mage is not a mage

[lyric olive]

I'm trying to encourage my friend to try the troll summoning, i think it looks cool

And mages are useless anyway so he might as well summon something

[sharp panther]

XD based

[near saddle]

nah, the bubble is very strong, it essentially replaces bonemass power

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/hahahahaha-funny-as-hell-hilarious-laugh-let-me-laugh-even-harder-gif-17352083

Most broken and op playstyle

Mages are useless

Lol

[lyric olive]

I'll ask my friend if he wants to try it, I told him to stop using electric now because that really is useless. But the fire is also quite useless

[sharp panther]

To be fair until you unlock staff of the wild, mage is a bit rough in ashlands. Unlike in mistlands when they have more damage for free since resistances.

Id definitely take a 2nd skilled melee user over a shield spambot.

[azure yacht]

You are just literally calling every single thing useless at this point...

[lyric olive]

He wants to try the wild

[lyric olive]

My sword definitely isn't

[azure yacht]

Atgeir is the worst weapon as well, mistwalker sucks.

Do you imagine using frostner in mistlands? Most worthless weapon ever

Ember staff? Cringe

[merry pebble]

There is not any fire bow, only blood one if you mean the red one 🙂

[lyric olive]

One it shoots fire bombs out of it

I don't know the name of it, I haven't really looked at the staffs yet because i don't play mage

[azure yacht]

Ember staff is what has saved me in ashlands while playing solo.

It's ranged aoe

And it's one biome earlier

[merry pebble]

Oh you mean fire staff, i thought you were still talking about bows since it was right after you called the Thunder bow useless 🙂

[lyric olive]

Which one is the thunder bow?

[azure yacht]

Everything is useless when you don't know how to use them apparently....

[lyric olive]

This guy still doesn't get that its not me using it.

[azure yacht]

Then the other person doesn't know how to use the items...

It literally doesn't change what I said

[lyric olive]

I think he's fine, just going to encourage him to change staffs and try some new play styles so I don't feel like I'm the only one doing anything when we get swarmed

I constantly have to run over to him because he cant fight anything alone

[sharp panther]

The best cure for swarms is fallen valkyries 💖 these babes kill literally everything for you and when they are finished you can bully them with a spear for a goodnight.

I really love the enemy friendly fire mechanic introduced in ashlands. So goofy but also makes the biome much easier than it would otherwise have been.

In plains if you piss goblin village you need to do everything yourself or run. In ashlands problems solve themselves hahahah

[azure yacht]

Trollstav allows you to make enemies aggro on the trolls while you kill them.

Staff of wild let's you spam the vines that deal continuous damage per hit and also paralyze enemies, which on its own is great

Fracturing staff is underwhelming in ashlands, but at least it destroys everything from earlier biomes. It still does decent single target damage.

Dundr can destroy morgen and single targets if used correctly, it's a lightning shotgun.

[lyric olive]

Trollstav is one I really want him to try but he said its too expensive to use.

[eternal raven]

Ohh the trollstav the 2 edge sword.
Let me tell u a story of a boy that got beat down in Ashland.
The boy use the staff to summon the troll to fight Morgen but he stupidity run to close to the fighting area. And what happened next is he got beat down by Morgen and troll because they said let team up and kill that boy.
The end

[buoyant ether]

how did i make use of tin etc for bronze stuff ? i melted it but no recipes unlocked

[eternal raven]

Did u get copper?

[eternal raven]

Cause to make bronze u need copper and tin

[buoyant ether]

i do has copper and tin

[merry pebble]

You need to smelt both copper and tin and then you make bronze from them in forge

[eternal raven]

Bar or ore
Cuz like he said u need to smelt them

[azure yacht]

Not a good idea to approach the beast of death and destruction

[eternal raven]

Like the story said stupidity run into

[azure yacht]

Like fighting a troll in BF with undead nearby, you let it do its thing while taking advantage of the situation

[eternal raven]

Ik ik now I just have ran away from it

[pliant hatch]

It's simply this:

Tin (ore) -> Smelter -> Tin Ingot (or bar) -> Cauldron
Copper (ore) -> Smelter -> Copper Ingot (bar) -> Forge
Forge + Tin ingot = Butcherknife
Forge + Copper Ingot = Copper knife
Forge + Tin ingot + Copper ingot = Bronze Ingot.
Forge + Bronze ingot = Lot of recipes.

[eternal raven]

Bruh I forgot it call ingot too

[buoyant ether]

i have smelted them i said that >_<

thats why im wondering, did i miss something

[eternal raven]

Did u make forge

That really weird cuz my recipe pop in when I got copper ingot

[azure yacht]

You craft bronze in the forge

To unlock the recipe you build a forge, and get copper and tin bars

[eternal raven]

Wait did u try to craft it in work branch

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, that's what I said too in here: #valheim-chat message

[eternal raven]

He just want to help

[azure yacht]

Doesn't seem like they read that post or understood it

[lament hearth]

Does editing resources yield mid-run ruin the game file or something like that ?

[eternal raven]

I think he didn't build forge for some reason

[azure yacht]

Without bronze it's also easy to spot the bronze recipe because there aren't many recipes at that point in the forge

[eternal raven]

It ruin your experience of the normal gameplay

[azure yacht]

It won't break anything if that's what you're asking

[lament hearth]

yea that's what i mean, thanks!

[subtle perch]

mystalands are too hard

the enemy spawn is too much made to kill you at any cost

[eternal raven]

Anyway @buoyant ether answer me did u build forge

[pliant hatch]

At wich difficulty?

Because at normal setting it's absolutely fine to be there.

[eternal raven]

We all complain about it don't worry but that just how Ashland is

[azure yacht]

It's about mistlands

[pliant hatch]

That's not about ashlands, but about Mistlands

[azure yacht]

Which is weird because that one doesn't even have high spawn rates

[eternal raven]

Wait that mistland

[lament hearth]

Is there a way to mute deer sound? If not from ingame then from game files ?

[eternal raven]

I thought he/she write mystalands mean Ashland my bad

[pliant hatch]

Considering how often those two biomes are spelled wrong, it's an understandable mistake. 😉

[eternal raven]

I see ok I note that one down

[eternal raven]

Idk but does the deer sound annoyed u

[lament hearth]

yea the deer keeps making that sounds every 5 seconds basically wherever i am 😅

[merry sun]

Hunt them

[eternal raven]

I see
But it help u spot them

[merry sun]

resources are welcome everytime

[lament hearth]

I have abundance of them and yea i keep shooting them but there's always another around the corner it's like a vengeful spirit at this point

[merry sun]

xdddd

[eternal raven]

Build a giant wall around your base

I just use hoe and build wall

[eternal raven]

Oh there is a mod to remove deer sound

[subtle perch]

the fact i was so close to loose even silver equipment

and at that point I would have to aks for outer help

[merry sun]

mist?

but yea, kill you is the Focus for ALL aggresive mobs, some can do It better than others

[eternal raven]

But that weird for mist to have high spawn rate

My experience in mist it just 3 or 4 enemies come to annoy and kill me or big boy shoot at me while farming.

[lament hearth]

i noticed one but it was from 2021 and abandoned and it's not even around my base but while i mine ore etc 😅

If i would be to add a mod to have QoL on farming/planting carrots then would that be also okay mid-run or would i need to do a fresh start?

[eternal raven]

I can't say much cause it base on you like how u feel about it

But ig it ok it just a farm

[drowsy citrus]

Best base defense strategy for Ashlands event?

[eternal raven]

Wall

[drowsy citrus]

Ideally with removing the mobs

[eternal raven]

It an event hmmm fight it

Use what u have ig

1 question is your house is made of wood or stone cuz defending wood house with Ashland event not really going well

[drowsy citrus]

Stone. It's not like we can't beat the mobs, but wondering if something like ballista is more practical for defense.. or even a moat, etc

[eternal raven]

The ballista really helpful in that situation but we really don't know where the enemy at

[buoyant ether]

how can i make portals ?

[buoyant ether]

im about to log in

[languid vessel]

i found a giant pathed X in the plains

what is this?

[eternal raven]

cube found in skeleton dungeon the grey dwarf eye and fine wood

[eternal raven]

Bug from Ashland update

[buoyant ether]

i still dont have a forge available, and i have smelted tin and copper

[eternal raven]

@buoyant ether

He explains better than me

[eternal raven]

And pls tell me did u try to craft bronze at workbench

[lament hearth]

Is it normal taht every other day is raining all day ?

[shy marlin]

Ya that's not a strange occurence

[signal bloom]

So asksvin riding.... is it pointless?

[quartz silo]

is there any way to find the large frozen lake

[eternal raven]

Yes u can ride and it can walk on lava

[buoyant ether]

does it matter if i build the forge close to workstation ?

[eternal raven]

No

[signal bloom]

I cant control the asksvin though even with saddle. Is this influenced by riding skill?

[eternal raven]

Build where u like it

[signal bloom]

It just goes wild when frightened and its frightened 100% due to mob density. So im a bit perplexed.

[eternal raven]

Oh yeah that how tame animals behave when it frighten

[tacit crown]

They are pretty trash tbh

[signal bloom]

Sad.. spent a lot of hours getting an asksvin farm in my ashlands established base in hopes i could cross lava safely

[eternal raven]

U ride on lava and then the lava shoot fire at u and the grave is in the middle of lava pool

[eternal raven]

Use troll staff to clear the pool lava u want to ride at

[tacit crown]

They are nice to have in other bioms for the hell of it but are too weak for ashlands

[ornate sigil]

lots of searching or "cheating" using valheim map. It is called" world viewer" in the pinned mesasges: #valheim-chat message

[signal bloom]

Dang

Guess i gotta find a fotress before lava walking lol

[eternal raven]

Parkour

[dreamy fable]

Still like to have a Under verse in Valheim with spider's nasty looking caterpillars centipedes

[eternal raven]

The queen almost resemble it

[dreamy fable]

naa the queen looks like a Xenomorph

[eternal raven]

What about sea serpent

The Ashland one

[dreamy fable]

it's a sea serpent

that one in the ash lands looks good thumbs up

[eternal raven]

The mouth really look like caterpillar mouth

[dreamy fable]

And i like the bone trolls lol

[eternal raven]

Ahh the memory the time I throw it in fortress

[buoyant ether]

so fine wood is in black forest ?

[dreamy fable]

I was playing on a 24/7 server but now I'm playing on my privet solo i still like Valheim vary much the most funest thing is building with the mods

no fine wood is in the meadows some in dark woods a lot in planes

even ork trees will give you fine wood

oak trees

This is what i want Jagex to do buy iron gate's and build RuneScape 4 but with Valheim mechanics. lol 😄

[idle storm]

W makes it move toward the direction your camera is facing, s makes it stop and act as if you werent riding it.

Pretty much all there is to lox and askdvin riding

[languid vessel]

shame
i thought it would be a fun little treasure spot

[buoyant ether]

whats a good other banging bronze wpn than an axe ?

and shield or dodgin better ?

[wet lodge]

gonna build a portal room today, got only up to stone available

dunno what theme yet

[pliant hatch]

A mace is.
You will need it to defeat the 3rd boss and because of the blunt damage it's a very good weapon to fight skeletons.

[wet lodge]

im having a blast with the abyssal razor, for bonemass you do want a blunt weapon tho, true

[buoyant ether]

troll fucked me 😭

[wet lodge]

I backstab 1-shot trolls :3

[buoyant ether]

where do i find fine wood guys q_q

[wet lodge]

birch trees in meadows

[near sigil]

birch trees

[buoyant ether]

oh

[wet lodge]

and oaks, but those are relatively rare

[ornate sigil]

or shipwrecks and benches/chairs near destroyed stone buildings.

[timid sun]

Abyssal razor is an absolute monster all the way through the plains even, so good for how early you can get it

[wet lodge]

"oh hey, 20 free troll leather"

had a invasion, now my troll cape is level 4 too lol

parry once, then hit troll 5 times with abyssal razor, 4 hits are crits from parry, 5th hit staggers them again

and then they die in 1-2 more

killing trolls in >15 seconds is satisfying af

can a iron 3 buckler parry fulings?

[timid sun]

Most likely, but that's just me guessing

[wet lodge]

there is no wiki page to parrying

I assume to parry your block force x parry bonus has to match the damage dealt?

[timid sun]

So if I'm remembering correctly the amount of damage you can block is limited by your own personal stagger bar which is 40% of your max health. The formula for blocking is something like (damage/(blockarmor*4))*damage. A parry with a iron 3 buckler is 100 block armor and a fuling deals 85 damage (both of those per what the wiki says). That means that after a parry 18 damage makes it through your block (then it gets reduced by your armor) so you should be good as long as you have around 50 health or more.

[wet lodge]

I ask for parrying, not blocking, though

[timid sun]

And I gave you the parrying answer

[wet lodge]

you said blocking.. I can parry things that would kill me if I just blocked

e.g. with a level 2 bronze shield I parried trolls, when I blocked they killed me

[regal spoke]

Health pool matters

[near sigil]

blocks and parries both uses "block armor" to calculate

parry block armor is just normal block armor multiplied by the parry bonus

block force is just how much knockback enemies get

[ornate sigil]

this convo makes me want to try a bronze buckler in the plains with ashland 3healt food and see if that works.

[near sigil]

you can add a \ before the * to make it not do the formatting thing

[regal spoke]

High health pool and minimal blocking armor should suffice Nevyn. Gotta consider your level as well I guess

[buoyant ether]

am starting to hate copper farming

[wet lodge]

I can parry deathsquitos, so thats a good sign ig

[buoyant ether]

i got stuck within a node and a troll uninstalled me

[wet lodge]

they do only 40 damage to me with troll armor too... huh

I remember plains being harder, tier 2 armor vs plains is easy now

[near sigil]

if you're good enough at dodging, you can make the troll mine for you 👀

[buoyant ether]

👀

[regal spoke]

What's your health bar

[wet lodge]

if you are good at dodging, you used to get needle arrows before first boss. now it needs a high crafting station I believe

[wet lodge]

130 hp, 120 stamina

[regal spoke]

Nice. You've already been jousting the squitos?

[buoyant ether]

can u up ur health ? XD

[wet lodge]

squitos and fulings now, can parry both

sadly cant parry lox, dunno if you can at all

[woeful yacht]

With food

[woeful yacht]

You can

[ornate sigil]

If i remember right, you can parry almost everything but blobs. you just might not get a stagger effect on some other creatures(like bosses).

[wet lodge]

not with a iron shield at least, and they 1 shot :'

[regal spoke]

Your hp and block armor isn't high enough

[wet lodge]

thats literally what I said, cant with a iron shield

not good enough at blocking with that

[regal spoke]

Raise your health too

[wet lodge]

you can only eat the best food available at the tier, my guy

[regal spoke]

Jousting lox at 130hp is part of the problem

[buoyant ether]

A TROLL AHS DIED BY MY HAND

[wet lodge]

I just try out stuff, dude

[buoyant ether]

I AM A GOD

[wet lodge]

since there is no wiki for this I gotta trial and error

was looking for pillars to get some stone, not a single one there

[timid sun]

I was able to parry a lox with a bronze shield 3 at around 145 health. Waiting for my health to go down more to see what my limits are 😄

[buoyant ether]

thhe autopickup of items is so annoying istg

[timid sun]

Press v to turn auto pickup on and off

[wet lodge]

must have a crazy high block level

[timid sun]

Lvl 3

And I got lvl 3 from blocking the lox xD

[wet lodge]

my bronze 4 shield could not parry fulings

at 110-120 hp

[timid sun]

Also important to know, what difficulty setting do you have on for the enemies?

[wet lodge]

no clue, default I think

[timid sun]

If it's default then you should be able to block them with the appropriate amount of health. I'm doing this with a brand new character with no armor and no levels. Just the shield

[wet lodge]

I avoided going to the plains again cuz I couldnt parry with bronze shield

with iron 3 I can, so im going there now to get stone. tho I do want my wolf armor so I dont get 2 shot if I slip up lol

[timid sun]

Now that I think about it, I wonder what settings this world actually has. I could have nerfed them since it's my test world. Important to check O:

Ah yeah I had it cranked down, I'll have to retest on normal

[wet lodge]

dunno how those translate into the game:
130 slash
120 blunt, 100 chop, 100 pickaxe
bite
stomp

for lox attack

pickaxe and chop are vs trees and rocks I assume, so is it 130 for bite and 120 for stomp?

[timid sun]

Yupp

[wet lodge]

so the iron 3 shield might be able to parry? if I level my blocking more

currently my parry force is 108.5 (43x2.5)

[timid sun]

Yeah after fixing the settings I could NOT parry the lox using the bronze shield. My boy got yeeted into the afterlife.

[wet lodge]

yeah bronze 3 shield has only 30 block force

[fair cairn]

bronze sheid is like, 3 biomes out of date at that point

[wet lodge]

you gotta get that stone tho

nothing better than plains pillars

[timid sun]

I'm testing it for the homies here. I have no personal interest in this xD

[fair cairn]

pretty sure you dont yet have stone usage in black forest

[azure yacht]

unless you cheat your way into crypts

[timid sun]

I would never 😰

[wet lodge]

gotta get that 2 iron early

[fair cairn]

well with terraforming sure i guess but i got 5 iron chests of stone before even needing them thanks to copper and silver mining

[azure yacht]

Silver mining in BF tier?

[fair cairn]

sure but i didnt build with stone till after i got silver

[wet lodge]

I build with stone after first boss

finewood bow, troll armor and abyssal razor are enough till mistlands

and whatever best shield u got rn

[plush umbra]

do the berserker axes have their own skill tree, or do they use the axes skill tree?

[wet lodge]

with mistland enemies I dont fuck around tho, that 2 star soldier bombing you with 240* damage...

[buoyant ether]

how does building upwards work, idk seems hard to ventilate and roofs wont do good (falls off)

[wet lodge]

early on a good option is to use core wood for pillars and build normal wood on top

integrity degrades the further away you get from an anchor point, most commonly the floor

but you can stack different building materials on top of each other

stone/iron > core wood > normal wood, dunno about marble/the ashland stuff

[merry pebble]

They use the "axes" skill

[plush umbra]

Thanks!

[buoyant ether]

it wont rest in underground base q__Q

[little swift]

ashlands SPOILER WARNING would i be able to make my|| slayer sword|| to ||thundering|| after upgrading it to level 2?

[buoyant ether]

if i build just from logs doesnt count it as a base ?

like getting rested etc

[wet lodge]

tfw a lox and 3 deathsquitos team up

[regal spoke]

Roof and fire

[paper marsh]

Yes, but unfortunately it resets the weapon to lvl 1 ||when made thundering so it’s a waste of materials to upgrade it before enchanting it||

[little swift]

thank you!

[buoyant ether]

ive built this for an hour for no avail 😭

mine is so scummy

[lament hearth]

Does each biome have a specific weapon that is good ?

[wet lodge]

a very simple strategy is to build a hut, and then build a 1x1 wall-less area with a roof slanted the opposite way as your hut, and put the fire there

[finite lodge]

does lava kill you even with fire resist wine

[wet lodge]

try it out, for science!

[open mortar]

whats the best fish to catch

till the plains biome

[finite lodge]

is the green light in the sky something special?

[azure yacht]

Approach it

[azure yacht]

Yes

[near sigil]

some biomes have clear top choices, but you can probably get through the game just playing what you like

[wraith sun]

any weapon that has been used a decent amount will be better than switching to a new weapon due to skill level with that weapon

[livid widget]

Is there no counter to seeing better in the mistlands?

[merry pebble]

wisp light and wisp torches, other than that not really

[pastel latch]

the mistwalker sword also helps but is inferior to the other 2

[livid widget]

Ok. I was wondering about that. Haven't created the wisp catcher thing yet

[signal bloom]

I've found when it rains it really cuts down on the mist

[near sigil]

also getting high up helps, eventually you'll get a piece of gear that helps you climb better

[livid widget]

Flying jellyfish crapped all over me. Not a fun CR

[signal bloom]

On rare occasions the mist has completely disappeared for almost a whole day after a bad storm

[chilly yoke]

drink fire resist mead

[livid widget]

Oh it's fire? It just looked like diarrhea to me.

[near sigil]

explosive diarrhea, yes

[livid widget]

Didn't really have much time to asses what happened.

[chilly yoke]

the feather cape is also a must so you dont take fall damage

[livid widget]

yep fell off a few cliffs trying to hide from the helljelly

[near sigil]

just get some fire res wine stocked up, you'll need it for the Gjalls

(especially when you start having feather cape)

[livid widget]

We have those from the yagluth fight

yagluth got 100x easier with the resist pot. Seems like the resist buff would be good for that too then now that I know it's fire

[chilly yoke]

you're gonna need the fire wine for ashlands too, esp. when running with a feather cape

[livid widget]

Not surprising for Ashlands

Are the little crossbow freaks descendents of Haldor/Hildir?

[near sigil]

wouldn't say descendents, they're just the same race

Haldor and Hildir are Dvergrs

[livid widget]

wrong use of the word, but yeah, same race

[still crow]

After you've had vindaloo and three gallons of ghost pepper sauce.

[livid widget]

How many tiles high for earthen wall to contain lox? 3 ok?

[regal spoke]

5-7

[livid widget]

pretty high, ok

[regal spoke]

They stack each other like circus 🎪

[regal spoke]

Work the earth* square to cardinal direction. You will be able to maintain true and level walls. Mobs can navigate sloped walls

[livid widget]

yes thanks. it's pretty straight

[wet lodge]

I always struggle to build a good looking smeltery

[livid widget]

Will stone above a wood door protect it from elements?

Actually I'm going to do iron

[wet lodge]

if you do iron, build those stone "support" pieces 1 space above, in a 2x1 area so they form an arch

imo looks better that way

[livid widget]

yea I did 2 columns and spanned the top with 2 2x1 blocks

[lament hearth]

Do i still get xp for bow when the fire arrow dot kills them or does it give xp when i hit enemy ?

[wraith sun]

When hit

[lament hearth]

alright thanks

[haughty kite]

Had a queen spawn too far south in my map near ashlands. Would that one respawn somewhere else or is it just gone?

[merry pebble]

it should move to different location i believe

[wet lodge]

is there a way to place rubies on the ground?

ive seen pics where its done, but I cant seem to find a way

[sharp bluff]

well, item stands are often used for that

[buoyant ether]

im hyperfixating on my base now, whats a good location, im guessing building within black forest is a no go

[sharp bluff]

you can build a base in any biome

[tight yacht]

How far into the game are you

[sharp bluff]

the problem with an early black forest base are the trolls but once you have bronze gear those are a joke

only base i wouldnt wanna build is a completely artificial ashlands base
everything else can be fortified until its invincible

[tight yacht]

I went from a rock ring in the meadows to a legit base in the plains

[timid sun]

My progression is typically having a first base in the meadows along the beach near a blackforest. From there my next, and final base for the playthrough, is usually on a small island of plains. The closer to Mistlands that island is the better.

[sharp bluff]

i usually pick a base next to a river for a calm habour and only move that base extremely late into the game, usually a plains base next to mistlands or mistlands

[azure yacht]

Seems like I underestimated the use of dvergr circlet as spotlights.

They illuminate a lot

[north pendant]

Do anyone know when will the patch in public test transfer to the actual game?

[azure yacht]

When it's done

[vapid hearth]

I think the Ashlands will be the first biome where I have to resort to spamming workbenches or campfires to thin the numbers

[paper marsh]

Why do you need it when not running feather cape?

[vapid hearth]

One word, ||valkyries||

[serene talon]

agreed

[paper marsh]

Is the fireballs a common problem? I’ve never been hit by one, they move slower than a snail

[vapid hearth]

When you do get hit, they hurt like hell, especially if you're wearing a feather cape

I should probably wear an ask cape instead

[chilly yoke]

if you get hit by a fire attack u melt liike butter.

[vapid hearth]

Yyyyep
Especially as a mage if you're caught with your shield down

If gjalls alone were reason enough to continue bringing fire resistance wines, then the big flyers of the Ashlands are still plenty of reason

[idle storm]

I usually do fine with just the bubble shield

Dodging valk fire isnt exactly hard

[idle moon]

fire resistance wines are fairly cheap to make, I've just always run around with some and pop if I come across Gjall or Valk

[idle storm]

Its not the cost, its the inventory slot

[vapid hearth]

True that, that's why I always never bring a hoe in my travels

[paper marsh]

Why would you bring a hoe in the first place?

[idle storm]

Its useful in the swamp

[vapid hearth]

In my case, to use as a siege ladder

[signal bloom]

Are we just supposed to fill obliterater with ash bones?

[paper marsh]

Tru, that’s the only place I bring one

[paper marsh]

If you want coal, sure

[idle storm]

Ashlands to for forts

[vapid hearth]

Yeah! Should be useful as a siege ladder, or one of those cool siege tower thingies!

[signal bloom]

Is there another use for the ash bones though? Havent found a fortress and cant use them for anything

[paper marsh]

Seems expensive to make a ladder out of earth, I would think wood is much cheaper

[idle storm]

Though you can accomplish the same thing with your hammer and a stack of ashwood, the hoe just makes your entry indestructible

[paper marsh]

Shield generator, a bunch of recipes

[idle moon]

the charred arrows uses them

[signal bloom]

Ahh the arrows

[idle storm]

Its a half stack of stone. Not exactly an issue in ashlands

[vapid hearth]

I mean, you're just raising the terrain, all you need is a handful of stone for that and a workbench

Coincidentally, such a pillar is a great middle finger to Moder's ice missile attack

[paper marsh]

I suppose. I guess I just like wood bc it isn’t used up and I like to have wood on me anyways so I’m not sacrificing a hoe and stone slot

That said, using siege engines is much cooler

Although not that cool, bc fortresses suck

[idle storm]

[vapid hearth]

I was hyped up for using siege engines against sprawling fortresses, like a tiny (or one-man) army advancing towards a huge fortress

Turns out it's no bigger than a fuling camp 😦

[idle storm]

I like using forts as outposts so the entry not being easily destroyed matters to me

[vapid hearth]

Ooooh, great thinking! I haven't thought about that! Indestructible building where I can truly finally be safe from enemies!

Though I suppose that would have come to mind after managing to take over a fortress, which I haven't gotten to yet

[vapid hearth]

Well shit, I didn't think to use ladders to climb up the fortress walls either

[idle storm]

My first fortress actually had a natural hill right next to one corner so i could just hop in.
I took it as a sign

[signal bloom]

I've played ahslands like 40hrs so far no fortress yet lol

[vapid hearth]

I need to find something to use battering rams on for its tremendous mining power

But copper nodes I'm not sure on, since I still need to level the ground, and silver veins are small enough to not need to do extensive mining

Hmmm, maybe one of those giant jotun corpses

[vapid hearth]

No aurora borealis to guide you?

[signal bloom]

Nope lol

[vapid hearth]

Haha, ouch

[idle storm]

If you ever need to clear those big mistland rocks thats what a ram is good for

[vapid hearth]

Oh shit, great thinking there!

[idle storm]

Mining metal not so much

[azure yacht]

Rocks

[signal bloom]

Omg thats a great idea

[haughty kite]

I went to another queen boss marker on the far east of the map. I don’t see anything around the queen marker is that common?

[idle storm]

If you got the markers pre ashlands

[haughty kite]

I get the ashlands resetting my far south one. But the east one should be okay?

[azure yacht]

Plains rock pillars

[haughty kite]

Did everything reset?

[vapid hearth]

Finally I can tame the mistlands terrain!
But then I'll need to figure out what to do with all that stone

Maybe I can use it to build stone structures to tame the ashlands by decreasing spawns and thus thinning their numbers

Huh, a practical reason to build a sprawling town even in lands as hostile as the Ashlands

[idle storm]

Terrain gen changed so undiscovered pois are reshuffled

[haughty kite]

Oof

[idle storm]

If you remember where you got the marker just go there again and you should get a working one

[vapid hearth]

I should probably build a bridge of ||drekkers|| so I can more easily do a corpse run to the next Ashlands island should I inevitably die on that next island

[haughty kite]

If I am an axe user is Jotun bane good to use against the queen? I see a lot of people using mistwalker but sword is 0

[idle storm]

you could probably build a normal bridge between the spires. Or just slap down a portal on one once you're near the coast.

[idle storm]

the poison damage is kind of low (and poison doesn't stack) so it's not ideal. You'd mostly be relying on the slash damage which she's resistant to. Also the slow attack speed will wreck you when dealing with the adds.
Your best bet for a sword alternative is atgeir (Himminafl does lots of lightning damage and the spin secondary destroys adds easily) or magic.

[wet lodge]

anyone else experiencing framerate drops with the ashlands update? I suspect it comes from having many lightsources, which used to be fine for me

[ornate sigil]

that's a universal issue afaik(lag/framerate drop). I haven't looked at the bug list on the website since PTB (pre-live), but I think someone mentioned that they were/will be working on that at some point.

[finite lodge]

someone here gave me the advice to just head toward the direct center of the southern area of my map and ill find the fortress like that, and it was there lol

[ornate sigil]

yep, the biggest landmass for ashlands is usually dead center/south.

[trim steppe]

I'm trying to level up my elemental magic skill right now. What staff do you think levels up your skill the fastest. I believe before The Ashlands it was the ice staff.

[idle storm]

it's still the best

though dundr and staff of fracturing do pretty well too

[digital wave]

i feel like im cheating whenever i bonemass 😭 it just makes combat so much easier

[vapid hearth]

Spires? Are those what those crags are called?
Also, I don't wanna risk the portals getting destroyed by the numerous mobs of the secondary island

[idle storm]

as long as they can't see it they won't attack it. Since mobs don't attack normal walls unless aggroed on something behind them just build a box around it with a door and it's perfectly safe.

unless you're in it anyway

[vapid hearth]

That's the problem. I got attacked the first time I tried building the box for my portal, and I only barely survived nighttime by the skin of my teeth by running to the top of an archway
It's no doubt gonna happen again if I try that again

[idle storm]

build on top of the archway then. Worst case a ring of terrain walls stops everything but voltures, valkyries and lava blobs.

[plush heath]

Is it possible that no one thought that in Ashlands, the use of gems is very difficult for those who play co-op?
The enemies are stronger but the gems remain the same.

[azure yacht]

Remain the same how?

[idle storm]

iirc they only balance for solo, so unless i'm misremembering that's exactly what happened.

[plush heath]

The same number. we don't have enough to boost. We play 5

[azure yacht]

There should be 10-20 per world for each gem

Which should be enough for even a full server

[idle storm]

if everyone only gets one weapon lol

[azure yacht]

The only way they would run out might be if every single player crafted the same weapons, and the same effects.

Which seems highly improbable

[plush heath]

Exactly

[azure yacht]

A player that plays bows wouldn't care about melee effects, and the same player might just be interested in like 1-2 effects

For the bow

[idle storm]

almost nobody uses only a single weapon

it's completely ridiculous to claim it as some kind of expected standard

[azure yacht]

That would make 4-6 weapons per player.

That's 4-6 gems player.

In that server, it's 20-30 gems.

There are still around double of that in a single world

[idle storm]

you need 2 gems for a level 2 weapon.

[azure yacht]

Either way, resource rates modifier is there for a reason

[plush heath]

But then it's not a criticism, I understand the choice. but I also feel sorry for those who play for completionism. or for us who are playing the game on maximum difficulty

[azure yacht]

Pointless...

Upgrading weapons is worthless, and upgrading enchanted weapons is a player shooting themselves in the foot considering it only upgrades base damage, not the effect

[idle storm]

damage is damage

the procs are a vanishingly small percentage of their damage

[azure yacht]

Then you're pretty much asking to run out of gems 🤷

Your decision, your consequences

You can run fine at base enchanted levels

So unless they make enchanted upgrades also upgrade the effects, lvl 1 enchanted weapons are enough

[fair cairn]

if you run outa gems you can always world hop to get more

[azure yacht]

That too. But as a last choice.

Tbh, by the time you get geared up properly you should be at the end of ashlands aka about to kill the boss. And there's nothing beyond that

[idle storm]

hard limiting the main upgrade material to a number low enough that even in a 2 player game you can't craft everything for both people is completely ridiculous and a slap in the face for anyone who plays multiplayer imo

there's no reason for gems to not be farmable

[azure yacht]

What...

For a two-player server you would have a lot more than you could even need. I literally said that even a 4-5 player server would have the necessary, then how wouldn't a two-player server not?

[idle storm]

10 of each gem is barely enough to craft ONE dundr, a trollstav and a gemcutter in the case of bloodstones. That's without any blood weapons at all.

[azure yacht]

In my solo playthrough I've only used like 6-9 gems total, another player would be at around the same amount.

That's 12-18, and there are dozens of gems in a single world

[plush heath]

Yes, that's what we'll do, we have a server on normal difficulty (yes, we finished the game twice). But we're sorry for completionism, we've always made all the weapons

[azure yacht]

Each one of those need one bloodstone, and you only exclusively need one gem cutter.

That would leave you with six gems. Not a low amount and you have what you need

[fair cairn]

i really should stop talking here when it comes to gems cause i have no idea about them lol, ill leave that to you

[idle storm]

6 gems is 3 upgraded weapons. There are 5 melee weapons, a bow and a crossbow with 3 variants each, plus magic weapons.

also dyrnwyn which also needs gems

[azure yacht]

Why would you craft each enchanted version in the first place? That's your decision, again, you're asking for the gems to run out, your choice, deal with the consequences

[idle storm]

unless you're just not supposed to craft the legendary sword you sailed all over the ashlands for either

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need a gem in every weapon. You could choose to have a normal flametal weapon at level 3 for the durability

[idle storm]

it's because "you can't craft everything no matter what" is stupid game design

[azure yacht]

And also upgrade them when it's so worthless to do it...

People should really start to deal with their own actions rather than blame everything on others...

It gets tiring, and I can't imagine how it would be for the devs themselves

[idle storm]

there's no reason to lock people out of half the new gear unless they cheat

what's tiring is fanatic fanboys defending every bit of game design like it's sacred to their religion, no matter how silly it is.

[azure yacht]

Resource management has been screamed at you from the start of the game.

If you didn't get that memo for seven consecutive biomes then I really don't know what to tell you

[idle storm]

there is not a single other material in the game hard limited like gems are. Try again

[azure yacht]

has very explicitly criticized half of what ashlands has since the beginning

Has explicitly suggested ways to solve that specific "issue"

Yeah, good thing I'm not one of them

But not the first time I debate against someone who speaks without fundaments in this discord

[idle storm]

like the fundamental idea that players should be able to use the gear you put in your update?

[azure yacht]

And you can

Similarly, you can also start a new game, play different, use other weapons.

That statement seems like coming from the notion that you must 100% absolutely everything in one single world

I see it as encouragement for replayability

[idle storm]

Expecting people to start a new game just to experience the full content of the second to last biome is also ridiculous.

[azure yacht]

points again at resource slider

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t know how much flametal is usually in a world, is there not enough for everything? If you aren’t putting gems into every weapon there should be enough gems without terrible luck.

[idle storm]

there's a ridiculous amount of flametal

[fair cairn]

well resource sliders exist so so gems are also nota problem anymore

[azure yacht]

Imagine taking the time to implement those sliders just for people to complain about things that can be very perfectly solved by those sliders because they refuse to use them....

Sometimes it feels like they lost their time on those and should've waited and implement them later

[idle storm]

i don't want or need more resources, i just need gems to be farmable the same way everything else is

a resource slider is no excuse for shitty game balance

[idle moon]

you can't just affect gems with resource sliders, you affect everything
and it seems entirely plausible that if a few people in a playthrough want to make weapons with the same gem type and you get poor rng on the gems for not everyone to be able to make what they want

[fair cairn]

theresource slider would affect how many gems you get though... like? whats the problem?

[plush heath]

or purchasable for gold

[idle storm]

that would work. the game needs more gold sinks anyway

[nocturne wolf]

Players are not expected to make every gem variant of every flametal weapon in ashlands

[azure yacht]

Good luck on trying to convince stubbornness

[idle storm]

Lets say you play unspoiled. So what, you're expected to blindly pick a random weapon and gem effect and if it's not one of the good ones tough luck, start a new game? And you don't consider this an issue?

[azure yacht]

This is not the first time I see someone dislike a game decision, and because you do agree with that decision you're a "white knight fanatical fanboy".

[idle storm]

good luck convincing without arguments

[azure yacht]

It doesn't make any sense...

It's like you're not allowed to like something

[near saddle]

I would kinda expect that when playing blind, it's expected that you just won't know or get everything

There's a billion other things the game doesn't tell you

[frozen fable]

is it me or did they up the spawn rate on the golems in mountains? Seems like every day when i go back to mine my vein there is ALWAYS a golem spawning near it to attack me. Fortunately they are easy work, just a little annoying

[idle storm]

true, but is also doesn't prevent you from going for one of the other options if you don't like your first pick

[azure yacht]

It's even worse due to the fact that I haven never, not even once, said that I agree with it...

And even stated this

#valheim-chat message

I literally only explained the reasoning, just that

[idle storm]

i'm sorry, but you can't honestly expect me to search to the posting history of everyone i talk to here

[fair cairn]

golems will respawn every day, practially had to kill the same gole spawn 5 times in a row
easy to to stop them is to trap the golem in a hole

[idle storm]

your answers certainly implied agreement, or at least being fine with it

[azure yacht]

It's because of these situations that I don't bother clarifying what I say...

It's completely and utterly pointless if people read and comprehend whatever they want to read and comprehend, despite it's not what you said

[azure yacht]

Sorry, but it is not.

But it is because of what I said above

[frozen fable]

interesting, well that does explain it, so it wasn't my imagination that they are spawning every single day lol

[azure yacht]

It's not worth clarifying things

[fair cairn]

good source of crystal and well its the mining that atracts them

[idle storm]

people not knowing your entire posting history seems like MORE of a reason to clarify, not less

[azure yacht]

I want them to make warlocks spawn at night after fader is defeated and they drop gems

[idle storm]

we could've saved like 3-4 pages of back and forth ffs

[idle moon]

tldr no one is pleased with current rate of gem acquisition?

[azure yacht]

From what I've seen here plenty of times...

It wouldn't do much, people read what they want

[frozen fable]

yeah i have been keeping all the crystal that drops plus some i got from the one frost cave I have done, it's pretty nice, and thanks for answering!

[nocturne wolf]

If you’re going into the game unspoiled you wouldn’t know the other options are better and would just continue the game with what you made.

[azure yacht]

Yes

[idle moon]

sounds good to me then

[fair cairn]

they also drop one of the coolest trophies in the game

[azure yacht]

On another note, chances of them doing something to ashlands are low now.

They shouldn't have released the update so early and continue tweaking in PTB instead, now we're beating a dead horse

And they're about to go on summer vacation

[frozen fable]

yeah i've been lucky to get that one before, not yet on this run in spite of killing a bunch of them since i am mining veins for a fully upgraded silver sword and frostner

[idle storm]

no, i just craft everything to try it all out

[fair cairn]

oof that silver sword ate 150 of your silver thats not cheap xd

[frozen fable]

yeah but it's good on Yagluth and Moder so it pays for itself long term

i like to melee Moder

[idle storm]

silver sword is also king of dps against charred

[idle moon]

is it difficult to change a world modifier on a dedicated server partway through the playthrough?

[idle storm]

that 45 spirit damage really pulls it up combined with the low stam cost

[nocturne wolf]

You change it the same way you would at the start of a playthrough

[azure yacht]

Dedicated server is different afaik

[idle moon]

was just wondering about feasibility of changing drop rates via world modifier when hitting ashlands and leaving it normal for the first part of the game, that way early game wouldn't be impacted and could have a work-around for gem scarcity

[brazen geode]

how much is the max comfort?

[idle storm]

17 without seasonal items, 19 with maypole and christmas tree

[brazen geode]

i have 18

[idle moon]

gl finding your missing piece

[drowsy magnet]

unheated hottub

[finite lodge]

i just watched an ashland video where they recommended a magic skill of 40 before going there, is that necessary?

[sly verge]

what's the best way to get blood clots? I've been all over meadows, forest, swamp, plains... have yet to find any americans

[nocturne wolf]

Farm ticks from a gjall

[sly verge]

I killed one but he didnt drop anything

maybe bc he died over water

[plush heath]

Go in the dungeon more time

[nocturne wolf]

Gjalls spawn ticks while aggro, you probably killed it too fast

[sly verge]

and by killed one I mean I watched dvergr fight him for a while and then got the last shot

[austere python]

is there any new player BR who wanna join our game?

[sly verge]

[paper marsh]

Join the fan club though: #suggestions message

[finite lodge]

whats the fastest way to level up my magic skill?

[cobalt aspen]

yall think 'deep north' prob wont come out for a year right? deep north prob 1.0? or you think one mroe biome then another year for ocean rework etc?

[stark rose]

elemental or blood

[finite lodge]

both i guess, do they have different methods?

[stark rose]

yes and it helps if you have a friend

[stark rose]

elemental is easy to level, just use it. find something that you can trap in a hole and withstand the ice staff. most use a golem i think. just keep unloading on it. for blood, the go to is digging under an active greydwarf spawner so that they spawn constantly into a pit you have your mele skelitons summoned in

[finite lodge]

is it really necessary to have both leveled up to 40 before going into ashlands?

[stark rose]

i would highly recommend it but you can get by on 20 or 30.

[azure yacht]

There is only one biome more and that is deep north

[paper marsh]

yea prob over a year. I'd say more like 2-3

[somber helm]

Probably been answered somewhere, but if I use an old map from like last year, will the new update ashlands be present in areas we've never been before?

[pliant hatch]

Yup, it will.

But be aware the Ashlands update changed a lot to both the Southern and the Northern part of the map when it comes to the biomes being connected to the other biomes.
So if you build something close to the Ashlands or the Deep North, those buildings may actually have disappeared or will collapse while you are looking at them.

[stark rose]

does anybody else feel like their ashlands is so scarse in resources that they have to jump to other servers to get more

[timid sun]

What resources are you referring to?

[stark rose]

ore and gems

particularly gems

[plush heath]

only for gems, ore is ok

[pliant hatch]

Are you using the Queen power to mine the ores?
Because I managed to get quite a lot from a spire while using that power.

[stark rose]

im also playing on a servers with 2-4 others

even with the queen power were only gettiung about 10-15 ore if were lucky per spire

per person mineing at the time

[timid sun]

I can't compare my experience there, only server I've done for an Ashlands playthrough was with increased resource drops

[cobalt aspen]

after deep north they shoiuld have a feature where you can ascend to valhalla

[timid sun]

After the Deep North I'm still curious what the 9th boss might be ;P

[ornate sigil]

it is mentioned in the opener now (post ashlands going live) that once your job here on valheim is done, vahalla awaits you.

[dreamy fable]

Jotunn

[stark rose]

will they wipe everybody's accounts for the official launch

[timid sun]

This isn't your standard MMO

[dreamy fable]

A frost Jotunn going to stomp your body to clean his feet on lol

[ornate sigil]

i doubt it. much like every update, thus far, hasn't done that yet.

[stark rose]

whos going to start a new play through once 1.0 launches anyways!

[ornate sigil]

every major update I do create a new world.

[timid sun]

I do multiple playthroughs for every update Valheim has had since launch so nothing will change in that regard for me 🙂

[azure yacht]

That's literally the final goal

[merry sun]

So i will lost my world? After going to valhalla

or its only lore

in ARK we can ascend to HomoDeus but we can go back to play anytime

[paper marsh]

doubtful

[cobalt aspen]

prob be able to go back but depends they might have a terraria credits feature and thats ascension wheres its just pretty much a cutscene and done and then u jsut go back to ur world or its genuinely a feature wherre you go there and you can just chill at the tavern / fuck around

[vocal rivet]

How would they even do that?

[rapid niche]

my friends don't believe the valheim wiki - they said that wards do damage resist from AI

is this correct? ( I know it's not but they say oh the wiki can be edited by anyone ) He says he found this on the steam forums, from the game files?

[azure yacht]

Wards don't reduce damage done to build pieces

[loud valve]

Started a no map run, built a house, went searching for Eik, got lost, end up in mountains, set up new house. Good times

[vocal rivet]

They do not. Trust me, the Wiki is accurate.

[little swift]

Just completed ashlands, for me its currently the best biome in the game in terms of views, travel, progression, items, enemies and the boss. some things make it slightly annoying but i love it

shouldnt hildir tell you that you only need only 1 of each chest?

i just spent 7 hours sailing the whole map for all 9

[vocal rivet]

The minute you try and give her a second of any chest she tells you it must be a forgery.

[strange plume]

yeah but i only went to her after getting all of them

[paper marsh]

My main grudges are forts being a bit boring and forts/dungeons/spires not really being more challenging than just traversing the landscape, Bc there’s high spawn rates everywhere

Otherwise Ashland’s is great

[vocal rivet]

The mind boggles.

[little swift]

I like the point about the traversal, but i wont say that a fort is easier than exploring, my first fort was a tough battle

Later in the porgression it becomes easy

[paper marsh]

My view may be a bit skewed from playing the ptb where spawn rates were higher for a while

[little swift]

They were even higher?

Damn

[vocal rivet]

They were a bit higher, yeah. It IS supposed to be difficult remember.

[azure yacht]

No, I'm completely sure they are right now how they were during early PTB

[little swift]

Honestly i was very surprised about the boss

[paper marsh]

I liked them when they were high, but yea I did (and still do) find fortresses not interesting or difficult enough comparatively
