[frail wagon]

if you can get a level 3 atiger

[smoky quarry]

[frail wagon]

that will cut em down real quick

[smoky quarry]

shoot for the head

[idle storm]

abyssal razor > trolls

2-3 jump attacks and they're done

[frail wagon]

yeahhh but then you need to find a lev and risk getting serpented

[daring sinew]

kinda cheesy but ||you can hide in the burial chamber entrances and the trolls cant break them||

[merry pebble]

and even if its relatively easy to get its a weapon one tier higher then you "should have" in BF 🙂

[idle storm]

you don't get serpents if you sail during the day and with calm weather. And i usually find leviathans just sailing my karve around, they're not exactly rare.

[daring sinew]

also i wonder if you can use trolls to mine copper for you

[idle storm]

also you can easily kill serpents with a finewood bow and wooden arrows

[frail wagon]

Not true actually.
night serpents despawn
storm serpents Remain

[frail wagon]

going during the day just minimizes the chance of getting attacked

[tacit crown]

But travel during the night for the sport

[frail wagon]

and also for that juicy fat serpent meat

[tacit crown]

Facts

[frail wagon]

serpent meat carried me in bonemass

[daring sinew]

wolf meat is kinda meh

[frail wagon]

100% wouldve died WAYYY more without its fat hp buff

[tacit crown]

Wolf meat is good because it's easy

[daring sinew]

NO ITS NOT'

[frail wagon]

wolf meat is good when you make it into a wolf skewer

[tacit crown]

Just good to have for lil tasks

[daring sinew]

boar jerky is a staple to me rn

[frail wagon]

also loxs feel crazy easy to kill

[frail wagon]

just get some needle arrows and a level 4 finewood bow/Level 1-2-3 Fang

[daring sinew]

BTW im about to enter the swamp for the first time (I have the key) what should I expect\

[frail wagon]

pack torch's and firearrows.

[tacit crown]

A touch of hell

[daring sinew]

I have lvl 2 troll armor and a bronze helm

[frail wagon]

Alright

[daring sinew]

but ill get firearrows

[tacit crown]

That's how I went in

[frail wagon]

80-150 should do the trick if you encounter what im warning you of

[tacit crown]

🔥🔥

[daring sinew]

oh is it the big thing in the water

[tacit crown]

Honestly it's probably worth skipping all swamp and going straight for the land of ash

[frail wagon]

depends which big thing

[tacit crown]

(Trust me)

[frail wagon]

did it just crawl out of the ground?

[daring sinew]

but i neeed iron

big thing in the water

[teal tiger]

Abomination?

[frail wagon]

thats PROBABLY a sea serpent if its in DEEP water

[daring sinew]

oh great

[frail wagon]

you have arrows and a findwood bow right?

[teal tiger]

Was it a tree?

[daring sinew]

yea i have flint arrows and lvl 2 finewood bow

[tacit crown]

Serpent meat is heavyy

[frail wagon]

you got 80 filnt arrows?

[daring sinew]

i have 80 flint arrows

lets goooo

[frail wagon]

well here's a good way to kill a sepernt.
Get it agro'd on you
get your boat on the best wind you can
and shoot

[lament hearth]

Besides swamp where else does swimming skill come handy ?

[tacit crown]

Water

[daring sinew]

oh so basically like a mad max chase sweet

[frail wagon]

i mean if your boat gets destroyed while your sailing and your close to land

it can be pretty damn helpful there

[frail wagon]

do make sure to check on your boats hp and if it gets too low book it for there nerest landmass

[tacit crown]

I have never really needed it tbh

[teal tiger]

Swimming is handy in Mistlands and sometimes Plains.

[frail wagon]

also

their meat is VERY VERY good

i belive cooked serpent meat is like 65-15

[paper marsh]

I feel like swim skill doesn't help much in swamp

[tacit crown]

Yeah too shallow

[frail wagon]

around that metric but you do need an iron cooking rack for it

[paper marsh]

Mostly I use it for crossing rivers in meadows/blackforesty areas, or to get around mistlands. I wish swim skill was better tho

[tacit crown]

Our characters are terrible swimmers

[teal tiger]

Hopefully that will change if Ocean ever gets a much needed revamp

[frail wagon]

here's the problem with an ocean update

if you change it too much sailing becomes much harder

mainly in early game when you dont have a good bow or arrow's to fight off ocean threats

[azure yacht]

Distance from spawn

Done

[frail wagon]

then again yknow

could get a bad starting island

[warm sandal]

but not way out of the center... so if they made it depenendt on distance from center you just need to avoid go out there on the map... 😄 stay in the center until you got better gear

[frail wagon]

yeah

i mean afterall a level 2 finewood bow and like 60 bronze arrows is more then enough to smoke a serpent

[wraith sun]

finewood bow and wooden arrows are more than enough to kill serpents 😄

[frail wagon]

eh better arrow's are always good to use incase you got bad aim

[wraith sun]

yea but any arrow that doesn't use metals is preferable

[frail wagon]

fair but later in the game copper tin and bronze main use is the karve and fermenters

[wraith sun]

and sconce

[tight yacht]

wooden arrows, needle arrows, any other arrows that uses an easily acquired resource?

obsidian maybe

[frail wagon]

needle arrow's are insanely good and so easy to mass produce

[tacit crown]

I breed needle arrows

[wraith sun]

frost arrows are the biggest weakness of serpents

[buoyant ether]

so tips where to find seeds ? am swampin/bf etc

[tacit crown]

Serpents are pretty easy to kill

[frail wagon]

Any arrow above bronze arrow's are the bane of serpents tbh

[wraith sun]

frost arrows and the serpent won't even be able to reach your boat due to the slow

[tight yacht]

true i just need to make an effort to specifically hunt squitoes

[ornate sigil]

Look for flowers. In BF, they are white. In swamp, they are yellow.

[wraith sun]

carrots are white, turnips are yellow and you are mellow 😅

[frail wagon]

Swamp flowers: Green vines with yellow buds (Turnips)
BF Same as swamp expect white buds (Carrots)
Mountin: I think onion seeds only spawn in chests so look for premade buildings

[buoyant ether]

appreicated 😤

[frail wagon]

also make sure you fence in/protect your crops because mobs WILL attack them

[buoyant ether]

my base is high af 😏

[frail wagon]

me when raid:

[tight yacht]

how does the fishing bait work?

[crude yacht]

Can pets destroy crops? (I'm thinking the Loxen)

[frail wagon]

lox probably can if they get spooked

should probably keep your pets and your crop a good wall or 3 apart

[livid widget]

yes

[ornate sigil]

Each bait will catch a specific fish. There should be a couple YT videos on it, and I think the wiki covers it as well.

[livid widget]

lox have an obnoxious ability to escape then run amok through the base with aggro, damaging everything in their path

[frail wagon]

this is why you should keep your pet lox in a hole

unless your gonna ride them into battle

[buoyant ether]

can troll armor carry thru whole game if fully upgraded ?

[paper marsh]

Man upgrading weapons in this game is so inconsistent. ||Like Staff of Embers gets +12 fire damage when upgraded twice. Staff of fracturing gets +144 fire damage when upgraded twice... HUH 🙄 ||

[frail wagon]

fully upgraded troll armor is only around the same power as level 1 iron armor from what i know

[paper marsh]

You can do anything with enough skill. But I wouldn't recommend no. Once you get to Plains you probably don't want to be wearing any troll armor

[frail wagon]

me when the ashlands weapon gets better stats:

[paper marsh]

Make it start off with better stats, don't make upgrading it 12x as strong

[buoyant ether]

🤔

so iron for plains ?

[paper marsh]

Also a lot of mistlands weapons still outclass or compare to Ashlands weapons 😔

[frail wagon]

i mean if you wnana max out your sneak?

Root armor is the only armor that remains strong in most biomes

expect ashlands

using root armor in ashlands is the worlds weridst way to kill your self

[paper marsh]

Could, but its gonna be a tough time. You're supposed to bring the armor from the previous biome for the best chance.

Progression is Swamp-->Mountains-->Plains

So you really should make mountain armor before going to plains, then upgrade to plains armor when you can

[frail wagon]

yeah how hard the game is is really just dependent on how good
your
Food'Weapons'armor

[paper marsh]

||Are all Ashlands enemies other than vultures resistant to fire?||

[river forge]

Getting hit with anything on is generally bad

[frail wagon]

eh depends

[tight yacht]

so im seeing perch off the shores of the plains, do i catch them with regular bait or the plains specific bait?

[frail wagon]

when you have +1 armor it aint bad
getting hit by an abomination while you have silver armor still hurts but not that much

[river forge]

Maybe it was because of hardmode but I found most enemies were lethal

[paper marsh]

On hardmode most hits are pretty tough yea. On vhard most hits are lethal

[frail wagon]

im gonna venture into the mistlands soon so. but when i get mage armor and weapons nothing is gonna get close enough to hit me

[river forge]

I remember a 2 star seeker soldier

[paper marsh]

yup magic op

[river forge]

That was ridiculous

[frail wagon]

i really wanna get the dead raiser but rancid remains trophy

[river forge]

Get the trollstav

Summons a big friendly guy

[frail wagon]

erhm spoliers? (just kidding i dont give a shit)

[frail wagon]

also i know what it dose mister
you aint fooling me

[river forge]

Bruh people are crazy over stuff

[paper marsh]

oneshotting 0 star seeker soldiers feel good. But on a 2 star I doubt you'll be able to take off much more than 50% of their hp in one hit

[ornate sigil]

Per the wiki: perch and pike use the basic bait from haldor.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Bait?so=search

[frail wagon]

do you think a level 6 trollstav could oneshot them?

[tight yacht]

weird that they are showing up in the plains tho

[river forge]

Devs are trolls

Level what

[paper marsh]

eh prob not.|| I doubt the meteor does that much dmg||

[frail wagon]

if you use cheats and nocost you can upgrade ANYTHING to level 6

[paper marsh]

You might be able to oneshot it with ashlands items though. I was just thinking mistlands items

[river forge]

Since when does something upgrade 5 times

[frail wagon]

as far as i know? nothing

you gotta use cheats to get a level 6 anything

[river forge]

Bah

Trollstav sucks anyway, being uncontrollable was crappy

[frail wagon]

thats ... the point?

drop the troll in let it do its damage and finish off whatever survived

[river forge]

Eh

[frail wagon]

thats its purpose as far as i know

[river forge]

Like I wanted to spend resources crafting that

[paper marsh]

ugh wanna skip to ashlands for fracture staff but I need to get 8 celestial feathers for it to be useful 🙄

I mean, I love fighting valks. But finding them...

[frail wagon]

you want controllable summons? use the dead raiser we get chaotic up in here

[river forge]

That's passable

[wet lodge]

I just heard the same sound effect valheim uses for hitting stone in a tv show

[frail wagon]

also SNAIL

[wet lodge]

flashbacks of the mines

[frail wagon]

WHATS THE BEST WAY TO GET A GOD DAMN RANCID REMAINS TROPHY WITHOUT DEPENDING ON A SKELLY SUPRISE

[wet lodge]

raid a few graves, I got like 2 and turned them to coal

[river forge]

Summoning a giant glaming psychotic that wants to kill everything, including you, is not very helpful

[paper marsh]

Killing hildr Black Forest boss and killing bonemass then setting your raid rate to max,

Or going plundering in some burial chambers

[smoky quarry]

u go do hildas 1st dungeon

[river forge]

Black forest crypts

[frail wagon]

also whats the current max level for the dead raiser?

3?
also can it summon star'd skellys?

[river forge]

Thor bestows a gift

Lump of coal

Thor is actually krampus

[frail wagon]

then who is santa

[smoky quarry]

Thor skimpy

[river forge]

Haldor

[frail wagon]

smh thor been skipping on his gifts recently

[paper marsh]

4, which means 4 skellies. No stars

[smoky quarry]

i hoped thor would give something better if i pulled the lever while he flew overhead with thunder. Nope, still just some coal

[river forge]

Because lord forbid anything be useful

[frail wagon]

i think level 5 dead raiser should always spawn 1 star skeltons OR be able to spawn rancid remains

[paper marsh]

Skellies can do up to 300 damage each given right conditions though, which is 1200 damage if they all do a hit. Damn insane dps from you sitting back doing nothing

[livid widget]

I made a fart.

[frail wagon]

4 skeltons with protection shield is pretty good

and 4 archers can be some great ranged support for any of your viking comrads

[smoky quarry]

The skelies are great because:

[frail wagon]

Cannon faughter works

[livid widget]

fodder?

[smoky quarry]

they protect you from greylings 😄

[frail wagon]

yeah *Fodder

[fair cairn]

howd you manage to spell fodder as faughter
im genuinely curious

[livid widget]

Draugr Faughtr!

[frail wagon]

Didnt know the correct spelling

[smoky quarry]

meat for the cannon

[frail wagon]

can we get a meat wagon from warcraft 3 as a siege weapon? thanks

[smoky quarry]

lobs a chunk of Lox at enemy

[frail wagon]

"LOAD THE SERPENT MEAT!"

[smoky quarry]

spicy fiery chicken ammo

[frail wagon]

"PREPARE MEAT SHOT!" (like 8 boar meat)

[livid widget]

🤣

[buoyant ether]

is there a handy way to get rid of all ur stuff ? like the things u dont need, i feel like they get in the way so often

[frail wagon]

Obliterator

[dense cloak]

who's from ph? lets play!!

[frail wagon]

you need the thunder stone from haldor some iron and some copper

then all you gotta do is put something in it pull the lever and BAM destroyed

[livid widget]

ph?

Philippines?

[paper marsh]

Yes, but I'd recommend holding on to things for now. You never know what's suddenly gonna be useful later in the game

[hidden gorge]

build a building, fill it with chests, and dump all your junk in it

[livid widget]

Haldor sells a trash can

We have a lot of storage and maintain 1-2 regular chests for mats.

[buoyant ether]

oh and is the stonecutter an upgrade for workbench or nah ?

[livid widget]

It's not an upgrade to the bench. It's its own bench. Allows you to build with stone.

[buoyant ether]

i might need a second hut then 🤔

[livid widget]

It also can make the sharpening stone that you can place next to your forge to upgrade that bench.

You will likely just move it around to the areas you build with stone blocks

[dense cloak]

yes

[livid widget]

Middle of the night there 🙂

[vapid hearth]

Hmm, I feel like ||bloodstone|| weapons will give me the power boost I need
Either that or the ||trollstv|| for sieges and/or the ||dundr|| for the everything else

[snow raptor]

how do you get galdr table tier 5

robes of embla wants me to be tier 5 to uuupgrade it

[paper marsh]

Can't yet, max is 4

[livid widget]

What did they update today?

Game had a small update

[vocal rivet]

Nothing. Else there'd be patch notes.

[paper marsh]

If I'm not wrong the "update" messed up some/everyones mousewheel rotating when building with the hammer

[tight yacht]

whats the best way to get lots of fish

i refuse to believe it is by actually fishing

[paper marsh]

Look up vids. Best way is prob to build some angled areas for fish to jump into and get caught in

[barren oar]

i managed to pick a load up from a weird pond next to the sea when i started my most recent world

[halcyon blade]

Yeah, went to start building in my world after playing something else for a couple of days and the mouse wheel rotating being inverted really threw me off (was going crazy thinking I accidentally changed a setting somewhere).

[frail wagon]

imagine if they added a new setting
Freezing wastland
2 hours after a world is made it will be plunged into constant snow always applying the 'cold' and 'frostbite' effect
biome's remain the same

[barren oar]

what about spongebob biome

[frail wagon]

spongebob?

[barren oar]

spongebob

[frail wagon]

the ocean?

[barren oar]

No i mean spongebob

squidward biome

[merry sun]

speedrun to get any Cape with cold resistance

[vapid hearth]

I can only imagine that the Deep North's ocean waters will be covered in frozen ice, and the upgrade will involve a big badass ship that can break through the ocean ice until we hit land

[sweet sedge]

hello the communauty. I am at the end of the mistland, do I have to play a new game to find the ashland knowing that I have not discovered the entire map of the globe ?

[tight yacht]

couldnt you just walk on the ice

[vocal rivet]

No, it'll be there for you.

[sweet sedge]

thank you very much I was afraid to start all over again

[frail wagon]

yep

[frail wagon]

or a SHITTONE of campfires

[sweet sedge]

but do we agree that ashland is well deployed on the live server?

[vapid hearth]

I don't know, maybe hazards that make walking across it not worth it

[tight yacht]

bruh where the flax

4 villages in, nothing

[frail wagon]

i mean you really only need 1 flax to get it going

[tight yacht]

yeah if i could find just one

[frail wagon]

you gotta look for dark brownish patches

[tight yacht]

i know what the cultivated ground looks like

[ornate sigil]

If you get lucky, there might be some in chests. Don't just look for planted stuff.

[tight yacht]

im full clearing these villages. just bad luck so far

[ornate sigil]

Rng doesn't like you getting Flax then...same with me and surtlings. 3 swamps with 4-10 crypts each, not a single spawner.

[tight yacht]

guess the search continues

[crude yacht]

RNG can be a godsend or a curse...just keep exploring.

[frail wagon]

also do some people REALLY think the dead raiser is bad?

[versed flame]

i dont care if its good or bad lmao
its totally sick therefore its good for me

[jovial temple]

so tired of this game just crashing for no reason and i lose over an hour of progress

only ever happens in the plains

[versed flame]

i had a problem on my world where where it would just refuse to save the game
we lost a good amount of progress twice because of that

[jovial temple]

this game easily wins having the worst most complicated save system oat

[frail wagon]

ive always been inclinded to necromancy

coolest magic tbh

[versed flame]

me too, but im leaning towards it for an odd reason i think
ive had a novel on hold for years (ill continue it someday)
and the main character is a necromancer

[frail wagon]

because summoning countless minions to do your bidding is fucking RAD

thats why 🗣️

[versed flame]

well. i know why it wasnt saving
it was just a lucky guess because it hasnt happened again

[jovial temple]

me and my friends world just saves when it feel like for us sometimes we manual save and it doesnt save and other times it does

whats super stupid to me is that items not used prior to a save are not saved if they are used after the save
so if i smelt iron and put it into a chest and i get sent back to a save before that chest was made everything smelted is gone forever since there wasnt a save when that chest was made

very very complicated mechanic to always have to think about the entire time i play its super annoying

[smoky quarry]

wish i had some kind of dynamite to place inside the head of a giant and blow it up for ez farming

[jovial temple]

i wish you could like chop down a tree and bonk it on the head

one shot kill

[azure yacht]

TIL that skeletons are weak to fire apparently...

That includes dead raiser skeletts

[ornate sigil]

The 'ram might work if you are going back for more brains post ashlands.

[merry pebble]

that has been the case as far as i can remember tho 😄

[azure yacht]

It should be one of their biggest resistances...

[merry pebble]

granted i dont know how resistant are dried bones agains fire, but even if they were weak to it irl i dont think devs will change this as it was in the game at least from start of EA

[frail wagon]

...

let me get this straight
the creatures made out of BONE take more damage from FIRE?

[azure yacht]

I always thought they were neutral to it max.

But weak?

[merry pebble]

thats why torch is great starting weapon against them 🙂

[frail wagon]

club still better

[versed flame]

porcupine is best

[frail wagon]

frostner best

[azure yacht]

Bones can take up to +700 C° of heat...

I know "realism bad" but still...

[versed flame]

alt f4 better

[azure yacht]

At least there aren't as many fire sources from enemies in those stages

[frail wagon]

realism GOOD (as long as it isnt taken too far)

[versed flame]

just bring campfires with you at all times

[azure yacht]

It just feels so wrong...

[versed flame]

epic win

[merry pebble]

only after upgrading it to lvl4 lvl3 😉

[frail wagon]

yeah like... BLUNT makes sense

[merry pebble]

wait, i made a mistake...

[versed flame]

thats like... midgame at that point why would you still have a club 😭

[merry pebble]

recalculating...

[frail wagon]

everyone understands why bone would be weak to blunt and resistant to slash

[merry pebble]

that is my point

[azure yacht]

Neutral fits fitting

You can argue that you attempt to cut them. Hence neutral

Blunt well, you smash them and break their exposed structure. Hence weak

Pierce "goes through" and is hard to actually hit them. Hence resistant

[frail wagon]

i was thinking pierce dose less because there's no nerves/organs to cut

[azure yacht]

But bones can take a lot of heat before "breaking"...

And they're still weak?

[azure yacht]

Works too

Unplayable

[frail wagon]

0/10 game skeltons take more damage from fire

cant belive the devs would let this happen

[azure yacht]

A mystic force prevents you from playing

[idle storm]

you can build a chopping block and tanning rack with just meadows mats. Also low stam cost, it's actually not bad if you want to grind your clubs skill.

[merry pebble]

a mystic force makes the fire extra hot so the skeletons are weak to it 👀

[frail wagon]

also do draugers take bonus damage from anything?

[merry pebble]

they shouldnt, they take spirit but they are not weak to it

[frail wagon]

i view draugers as like... water logged corpses so i feel like they should take less damage from fire

[merry pebble]

but one thing is interesting, skeletons dont have listed that they are weak to spirit either, i always thought they were 🤔

[idle storm]

they do, they're resistant

[vapid hearth]

Holy fuck, this thunder shotgun feels sooo good to use
I wish I had the bloodstones to upgrade it

[azure yacht]

Wraiths are

[frail wagon]

ERHM AKUCLTY ITS NOT A SHOTGUN ITS AKUCTLY A STHAFF!

[azure yacht]

Ghosts too

Almost everything undead is neutral.

But half of ashlands is actually weak

[merry pebble]

oh well, still good they do take it 🙂

[frail wagon]

serpent scale shield is really good tbh and not that hard to get

all you really need is the harpoon stam mead alot of good stam food and a longship

[merry pebble]

but no parry 😭

[frail wagon]

yeah but... 100 block force

[merry pebble]

no parry, me no like 😛

[frail wagon]

parrying is for loosers

[idle storm]

Also -15% movement speed. root harnesk does the same thing and you can kill abominations with BF gear and food no problem.

[frail wagon]

you risk everything

[strange arrow]

30 min fights, imagine

[deft tendon]

Is there anyone here making valheim content?

[idle storm]

it's great for entering Mistlands though since seekers most powerful attacks do pierce.

[strange arrow]

the devs?

[merry pebble]

the devs, or if you mean other people making videos or streaming i would check #self-promotion 🙂

[deft tendon]

Ty!

[burnt glen]

Parrying FTW

[strange arrow]

also #screenshots and #building-screenshots for building related content

[subtle perch]

ok i have to stop the skill drain thing on death

i cannot loose anymore skill point

sword are now under 50, maces under 40

there is no other solution

i cannot fight all those seekers and win every time

it's impossibleù

i have to recover those skill points at any cost

[ornate sigil]

Besides death penalty slider, there is also combat difficulty and a couple others that might make things more manageable.

[ornate sigil]

Specifically for skill training, you might Wana look into a greydwarf farm.

[subtle perch]

ok now skill loss is really reduced

next death is no skill penalty and no item dropped

next death is passive enemies

next death is cheat invunerability, and we see if we can withstand this biome

cause black forge wans't any help but a spear

[timid sun]

Sounds like you need to do a lot of combat practice 😄

[subtle perch]

no, i need less seekers

i cannot fight two of them every time

they do too much damage

[timid sun]

It really does sound like you just need more practice fighting them, 2 shouldn't be that bad

[merry pebble]

2 are fine 🙂

[ornate sigil]

2 isn't much of a issue if equipped/food(ed?) properly on normal difficulty. Unless you are talking about soldiers...

[subtle perch]

2 hit too much hard

i have currently 141 hp, 127 stamina and rested and wisp

i cannot manage two of them keeping attacking

[digital lava]

has anyone found a 2 star morgen? found one while sieging a fortress, just a minor incovinience lmao

[timid sun]

There's a lot of things to take into consideration such as proper food/equipment. Knowing whether you can and how to properly block/parry/dodge attacks. Using terrain to your advantage. Just takes time messing around, I could probably handle 5 seekers with no armor on at all because they simply would not be capable of hitting me. The enemies in this game are very predictable.

[subtle perch]

I cannot parry two of them at same point

They are too fast and they keep following me, staying close any moment

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need to parry

[ornate sigil]

They should "circle" around after every attack attempt. Use that time to let your stamina refill. If you parry one, follow up with 1-2 attacks. If needs be, don't attack to recover stamina or use stamina Mead.

[subtle perch]

No they don't

They keep staying around me in close combat

[ornate sigil]

Hmm

[timid sun]

For most of their attacks you can actually dodge them by walking. Actually a lot of enemies in the game all you have to do is walk in a direction and they can't hit you xD it's pretty chill. Evade hits however, find your openings, take your shots, and repeat.

[subtle perch]

And first mistake it's a two hit

Usually I can defeat them, but after 5-6 couple of them the mistake happens

and I die again, and I have to find a fast way to recover skills at any cost

[timid sun]

Additionally, for players who have a tougher time, a bow with frost arrows is the best way to make dealing with almost all enemies trivial. The slow effect is a huge help

[subtle perch]

I think I found a too much hard spike

This time, maybe I have really to ask someone to be my guard

[winged sluice]

Yes, and it's annoying the hell out of me.

[nocturne wolf]

If you get an eitr refinery and make refined eitr you’ll be able to craft everything else

[subtle perch]

oh finally i'd say

Black forge is useless

[timid sun]

I do really fear for when you make it to the Ashlands though. If you think the Mistlands are tough I'd say from my personal experience the Ashlands is multiple times more difficult

[subtle perch]

Dev made a hige mistake to put armors and new weapons so long to get in mystlands

[subtle perch]

we will see

i have my doubts

at least i can use fire res there

[paper marsh]

I never make the armors anyways

[timid sun]

That won't be as helpful as you think it'd be

[nocturne wolf]

I like how it progresses differently to other biomes, and it’s not too bad because you get food early

[subtle perch]

better than now nontheless

[subtle perch]

i don't like

cause you force a player to multiple deaths in order to become stronger

and within the skill leeching, this is a huge mistake

we are not talking about draugs and blobs stuck between scrap piles this time, we are talking about enemies that requires no mistakes

and you don't have some kind of item to recover lost skill points fast, some kind of potion of altar

[nocturne wolf]

Without skill loss skills would have no purpose

[subtle perch]

I am under 50 skill of sword and under 40 of spears and maces

[subtle perch]

then configure the game in order to not keep killing the player over and over

after 10 points loose, you put a long long skill drain stop

[worthy obsidian]

do any one of you play hardest difficulty? is there any way to work around so that you cna actually block mobs

[subtle perch]

or you make a recipe who pretend that, something really expensive: 999 gold, 7 full stack of rare resources one potion

[timid sun]

Better get good at rolling my friend ;P

[worthy obsidian]

short answer, no?

[timid sun]

Oh I don't know, haven't tried it quite yet but I imagine blocking is likely a no go for most enemies so likely you're just dodging

[vapid hearth]

Welp, looks like my draugr village trench breaks the pathfinding on both the draugr and my skeletts. So back to the graydwarf farm for me

[worthy obsidian]

I mean the mobs do too much dmg

[timid sun]

I'm glad that they deal a lot of damage on the hardest difficulty, I'd honestly be disappointed if they didn't 😄

[paper marsh]

Yea, I’ve completed it deathless, not a lot of fun though

Just gotta try and pick your targets to parry, eat good hp food, maybe even biome skip for a better shield and food.

I’ve considered just devcommanding block skill to like 70 at spawn tho to make it more doable

[subtle perch]

they do too much damage in normal

that's the problem, in mystland is too much pumped up

[timid sun]

Deathless sounds intense

[nocturne wolf]

What weapons, shield, armor and food do you have?

[paper marsh]

it is for sure. Even more so when you don't use cheesy stuff / OP weapons

Honestly not fun at that point though. I much prefer Hard over Vhard

[timid sun]

I'd probably give it a few tries but not likely take it too seriously, I don't think I'd much enjoy constantly being hyper focused on all of my surroundings

[paper marsh]

wear the root chestpiece from swamp and they'll hit less hard than a wolf

[nocturne wolf]

If you made a frostner, use that. It does more damage to seekers than black metal weapons because of the frost damage.

[paper marsh]

Seekers, at least

[timid sun]

Bonus points that frostner also slows them and allows you to spin around their pokey attack zone so that you can attack them freely.

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers are easy enough to jump over, why walk around them?

[timid sun]

Fair enough, though I'd imagine for some of these people who already find the concept of walking to evade enemies attacks too difficult their minds would explode trying to comprehend jumping over an enemy.

[jovial temple]

deathsquito worst enemy design ever

[timid sun]

Just swing your weapon at them. They have like 10 health

[nocturne wolf]

I almost always jump towards or over an enemy when attacking unless I’m trying to parry it or it’s too tall. It keeps me out of the attack trigger and hitbox so I can easily avoid damage.

[ornate sigil]

With 'skeeters, they are so weak that (with decent skill level) fists alone can beat them.

[paper marsh]

too much hp imo

[jovial temple]

how does parrying work in this game

[paper marsh]

I like to punch them, but it's not viable

[timid sun]

I just kick them in the face with my fist

[nocturne wolf]

Block 0.25 seconds (I think) before an attack and it will reduce damage further and stagger the enemy if possible. Parrying always costs 20 stamina, which is usually much more than blocking.

[paper marsh]

parry will fail if enemy has overwhelming damage. You can parry higher damage with better shields and by eating more hp foods

[subtle perch]

is it possible to keep playing the game avoiding the skills problem? let's suppose I drop to less than 30 each

[timid sun]

Perry also kissed a girl once, and liked it.

[livid widget]

Is the wishbone useful beyond the mtns?

[paper marsh]

yes. easily play the game at 20-30 skill. Even 0 isn't a huge issue

[ornate sigil]

In theory, you could be in ashlands (the current last biome) with 0 skill level and still function. It would be super tough but still doable.

[nocturne wolf]

You can use it to get a small amount of iron in swamps if you don’t want to find more crypts

[timid sun]

It does have other minor uses such as finding small iron chunks in the swamps and finding buried treasure areas but mostly no... It's not very useful.

[livid widget]

Oh forgot about the treasure. Remember that not really being worth it either.

[timid sun]

Nah, usually I only gun for it if I want the necklace to make the treasure chest thing to decorate with

[ornate sigil]

Treasure is only worthwhile if you want to make a treasure room or something.

[livid widget]

How big is that chest? Haven't made one, but would be fun to store all the gold coin spoils

[timid sun]

It's quite small

And it doesn't act as actual storage

[livid widget]

Well that's dumb

Assumed it was meant to store all the treasure

maybe fun as a prop in a treasure room with gold piled everywhere

[timid sun]

Yeah that's what I do with it, just kinda plop it somewhere then surround it with piles of gold

[ornate sigil]

It cost something like +1 silver necklace, 99 gold and some gems (rubies) for a decoration.

Not a utility piece at all.

[livid widget]

I remember when troll caves used to be terrifying cause no room to kite them

now just walk in and beat the snot out of 'em

Ocean is the last planned biome, yes? Will there be a Ygdrassil?

[vocal rivet]

Deep North is the last planned biome.

[livid widget]

So Ocean before DN?

[vocal rivet]

We're presuming so, but don't know anything definite.

[stuck dome]

you've always been able to do that with parry

[livid widget]

Yeah? You walk into your very first troll cave and just parry it to death?

Up through BF I wasn't having much success meleeing them.

[subtle perch]

Then I think I'll just stop thinking at skills

Cause cleary I would have too much time to spent to recover from the huge disaster mystlands are doing

I looked at the exp required and it's really too much

Thinking to play this game staying at certain level of skills per biome is pure madness

It consumes you, without an effective way to gain the skills back

[timid sun]

For trolls I've always just dodged them, get a few attacks in, dodge and repeat. With a spear they are actually easy work at any given time so long as you manage your stamina.

[subtle perch]

Thinkinh of passing several hours killing greydwarfs to gain back 10 skill points mystlands drain in seconds is again pure madness

It's self damaging

[timid sun]

Then use dev commands to give you your levels back or something

[subtle perch]

It's the real punishment. So the only solution is too just ignore the whole mechanic

You die? No problem.

[digital wave]

basically as soon at they make contact w you, just block and you will parry them if u have a shield

they can be oneshot w pretty much anything

you can also roll through them which will make them attack in ur iframes

[timid sun]

Can skip the block and just swing at them as they come in. Saves a second 😄

[jovial temple]

i was just mad that i was being attacked by 40 goblins and i die to a deathsquito behind me

[digital wave]

ah fair

[digital wave]

yeah but that can be a bit risky if u dont have the timing down

but w something like a halberd thats a good strat

[timid sun]

We don't fear death, we embrace it. Punch the deathsquitos. Fail until you don't

[subtle perch]

Squitos are nothing compared from seekers

[austere flame]

huh i feel lucky. first time i went out to sail to find serpents. i caught 2 serpents within 2 minutes of each other. the second one dropped a trophy. and just after that i see 2 leviathans side by side.

[timid sun]

Tbh Wolves are pound for pound the hardest enemies in the game... Until Ashlands that is.

[timid sun]

That's awesome, serpent hunting has always been one of my favorite things in the game, and it's such good food for how early you can get it

[ornate sigil]

Wolves and fenring are terrors.

[austere flame]

yeah serpent hunting seems pretty fun

[livid widget]

Man, I got put in time out for using the c word

[timid sun]

Hey, I know what I am.

[livid widget]

Just trying to describe my chicken hubandry experience

[whole iris]

Learned just today that Valheim didn't always have portals. Interesting to think back on the pre-portal days, seems significantly more hardcore, more home-base-moving, but also perhaps too tedious. I got portals relatively recently and I've been loving them

[cinder echo]

why does upgrading the new staffs do literally nothing... im sorry but is that just an oversight from the devs or just them being lazy?....

[timid sun]

When did Valheim not have portals?

[cinder echo]

Seems like magic is a neat idea yet its not fleshed out at all. The regen sucks, upgrading the staffs feels worthless

the gear upgrades dont give you more regen just barely more armor that youre not gonna use anyway cause youre always avoiding getting hit

stamina doesnt regen while casting.

[whole iris]

I guess it must've been during beta

[livid widget]

Aren't we technically still playing a beta

[timid sun]

Yeah if that was ever the case it must have. I've owned the game since the official EA launch

[idle moon]

early access still

[ornate sigil]

Open vs closed beta are different animals

[timid sun]

I'm not a magic person myself, and I have my issues with it, but I also know people who absolutely love it and claim it's the most OP form of combat in the game. That said I've never actually seen anyone who can effectively use it so... 😄

[cinder echo]

Sure its op if you want to sit there, cast a bunch of vines and let them do the work for you. Then its OP yeah.

[whole iris]

Woops, maybe alpha? I just started playing this game a few weeks ago 🤷‍♂️

[cinder echo]

But if you want to do a hybrid gameplay or do more than just cast trolls/vines and sit, while letting them do all the work

[timid sun]

Welcome!

[livid widget]

Hot tub so romantic

[cinder echo]

thats the only way magic truly works without you running out of etir constantly

[whole iris]

thank you! definitely my new favorite game

[timid sun]

Maybe, I just refuse to use it because I hate that you have to play through most of the game before unlocking it. I was kind of hoping they would add weaker versions of it earlier on so you can pick what playstyle you want at the start of a playthrough.

[lyric olive]

Why does the wiki spell armour wrong by the way

In-game its spelt the correct way too, but on the wiki it says armor not armour?

[timid sun]

Maybe the wiki is written by Americans?

[lyric olive]

Dunno but I might edit it to fix the mistake

[ornate sigil]

grey or gray?

[lyric olive]

Grey is correct

[timid sun]

I'm from the US so I use gray 🙂

[lyric olive]

Then you use it wrong

[timid sun]

That's not my fault, blame the older people

Ah sorry, blame the dead people

[vocal rivet]

Mostly not, but it was decided to be consistent.

[tight yacht]

yeah baby finally some flax

[hidden gorge]

language isn't immutable; definitions, spellings and usage changes over time

don't blame others for you falling behind the times

[lyric olive]

In game its clearly armour which is correct but the wiki is wrong

I would edit it but that would take forever

[vocal rivet]

Both variations are perfectly acceptable, as well you know.

And no, no you won't.

[tight yacht]

in game it says armor what do you mean

both the stat and when describing chest protection pieces

[vocal rivet]

That's why we agreed to keep the Wiki consistent with that.

[livid widget]

I am from the US and I say both.

[ornate sigil]

Both is good meme

[livid widget]

Grey comes more naturally for me though.

[tight yacht]

if they really wanted to be pedantic about it they could have used localization for the wording

but honestly who cares

[hearty niche]

I always spelled theatre like that because it makes it sound fancier and fancy theatres are always better.

[vocal rivet]

"Why are you spelling armour wrong?" - We're not, we're spelling it the same as in game.

[livid widget]

Behaviour drives me nuts though.

[hidden gorge]

I had to double check, and the game spells it "Armor"

[hearty niche]

This feels like the beginning of an Abbot & Costello skit.

Abbot: "The brits and their weird spellings."
Costello: "I know, right? Behaviour drives me nuts."
Abbott: "Which behavior?"
Costello: "The one spelled British!"

and on and on

[lyric olive]

Which is armour?

[vocal rivet]

Which, according to the game, is Armor.

[lyric olive]

In the changelog it says armour

[livid widget]

You mean armor?

[ornate sigil]

I want to push this conversation along with my quips, but they aren't valheim relevant.

[livid widget]

Spelling of valheim words seems relevant.

[hearty niche]

Hasn't stopped me.

I'm procrastinating my body rescue.

[tight yacht]

some people deadass have nothing better to do

[strange arrow]

meme senses tingling

i want to color my armor on the sidewalk

[hidden gorge]

ok, but in the actual game itself, when you're looking at the stats, it says "Armor". Changelog is just text written by the devs, it can have mistakes, typos and spelling errors which aren't worth changing because its not really that important

[livid widget]

Will the hens still lay eggs in the cold? Is that a way to get eggs without hatching them?

[ornate sigil]

Bottom line: if you understand the intent, it doesn't matter how it was communicated.

[timid sun]

Yes

[hidden gorge]

they need a fire and the eggs can't have the description of "too cold"

[lyric olive]

I haven't looked in-game yet because they rarely say armour in it

[vapid hearth]

Just weathered a horde involving a few charred, three asks (one or two of them 1-star), and a valkyrie
I feel great

[timid sun]

I understand people's intent to debate with you on anything that doesn't actually matter. And I'll raise them 😉

[vocal vale]

I’ll edit it back the right way

[livid widget]

They need a fire to hatch, but do they need a fire to lay them?

[ornate sigil]

Hens will lay eggs so long as they aren't frightened and are fed. The eggs will only hatch if it says "warm".

[timid sun]

I'm sure that felt great, nothing like making it through a real struggle then thinking back on it 😄

[livid widget]

I want eggs that don't hatch.

[tight yacht]

bro making breakfast

[hidden gorge]

no, the chickens just need food (and space)

[livid widget]

Thanks

[strange arrow]

out of fire/warmth range

[timid sun]

I like how I answered your questional correctly immediately but it all came down to that Apex, I'm sorry they confused you

[tight yacht]

honestly one of the best parts of frost resist clothing is no longer getting the cold debuff at night

you can just keep going

[smoky quarry]

lots of therapy required

[timid sun]

But, then we have no reason to cuddle for warmth 😦

[tight yacht]

i still sleep at night just to avoid the increased spawns if i actually want to do something

[livid widget]

Sorry, missed it. Got pushed up

[tight yacht]

but its nice to have the option of continuing

[idle moon]

can't believe the authours of the wiki have misspelt armour, colour, even old Haldours name they have misspelt!

[vocal vale]

It took me 3 years to find out cold debuff actually does something

[tight yacht]

if it isnt in Shakespeare's english is it even correct

[timid sun]

Makes things poke through my viking shirt!

[tight yacht]

why stop at the british spelling, lets follow this to its concluision

[vocal rivet]

Yes, Shakespeare's English is very out of date by now.

[vocal vale]

Shakespeare is a sham anyway he stole that woman’s works

[vocal rivet]

Let's not. They've moved on, let's do the same.

[tight yacht]

you do like giving orders dont you

[vocal vale]

We all revert to speaking Latin

[vocal rivet]

Where was the order?

[livid widget]

HODOUR

[tight yacht]

and intentionally missing the point too

[lyric olive]

sure we can do that for a while if you want

[vocal vale]

Yes ill hold the door for you

[vocal rivet]

Oh, it's already been corrected.

[timid sun]

Depending on how many drinks I've had sometimes I don't even know if I'm speaking a legitimate language anymore.

[smoky quarry]

summi bellator veteris

[vocal vale]

Nah it won’t be for awhile since mine will be right and you will be removed from the wiki

[strange arrow]

rapid wiki correction and correction and correction...

just correct that correction will ya

[smoky quarry]

fix it or leave it

[vocal vale]

That’s what ma always said

[smoky quarry]

and ma knows best

[tight yacht]

BEGIN THE FLAX HARVESTING

time to get some real weapons for this damn biome

[vocal vale]

Flax harvesting hasn’t been profitable in runescape for years

[lyric olive]

doubt it

[vapid hearth]

NOOOOOOOOO
The one star Ask I brought to base got killed by charred DX
It wouldn't stay put, it wouldn't just stop chasing after death itself
Now I'm gonna have to tame another ask, and I don't know if I can find a starred ask

[timid sun]

Honestly I wouldn't bother. They aren't worth the effort

[vocal vale]

They don’t allow people to repeatedly mess up the wiki 🤷‍♀️

[lyric olive]

Armour is correct so i will just change it and let an admin decide

[tight yacht]

is this guy still trying to change it to armour

[vapid hearth]

Aww man, I was hoping to figure out what new stuff I could make with their eggs

[vocal rivet]

Apparently so.

[idle moon]

those darn wiki moderatours!

[vocal vale]

They decided long before you knew about the wiki

[tight yacht]

lawl

[ornate sigil]

So you are saying the flax-market has crashed and has yet to recover 😋

[vocal vale]

I think more so it just hasn’t kept up with the inflation of everything

[lyric olive]

Maybe, lets see

[timid sun]

Do not cite the deep magic to me!

[vocal vale]

Oh damn flax and bowstring prices are going up

[tight yacht]

what am i supposed to do with all this black metal

this is insane, i wish i could make arrows out of this

[timid sun]

Throw it at your enemies 😄

[livid widget]

How many tries does it take you guys to deconstruct an item mount?

How many of you place the hammer instead 3x before you finally deconstruct it?

[ornate sigil]

I normally learn after the first 1-2 hammer hang-ups.

[livid widget]

That makes me feel better.

[timid sun]

Learning is for nerds, I just continue to make mistakes always.

[ornate sigil]

But when I am super caffeinated or tired...it is a struggle.

[tight yacht]

that warm and fuzzy feeling of being completely done with your base and now you can actually play the game

[ornate sigil]

I would say, more so than fighting a troll naked with fists only.

[vapid hearth]

I swear, the spawn rates on the Ashlands are fucked in some way
I've been in the same general area ducking and weaving this new horde, and just as this horde is thinning (which included five asks), a new ask appears

[vocal rivet]

Spawn rates are the same as every other biome. I think there are just more mobs available to be spawned so you get more mobs in general.

[ornate sigil]

The rng gods knew you would "ask" for more...so they sent more.

[livid widget]

I love how the F word is ok, but not the C word

bitter

[vocal rivet]

You're surprised the much worse curse word is auto-modded but the milder one isn't? Curious.

[modern moon]

Does staff of fracturing just suck? It seems to do near the exact same if not less damage to ashlands enemies on a direct hit, so it doesnt feel worth it over staff of ember aoe and far less punishing aiming

[livid widget]

Yes. It's a pretty common descriptor for a male chicken.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, that one? My bad.

[livid widget]

Not the other c word, sorry.

[mild garnet]

How do I use it though? Bc when I get jumped by a hoard of creatures the best I can do is keep them on me. I cannot fight em when I have 15 ashlands creatures in chase.

[tight yacht]

too many curse words lol

[vocal rivet]

If you'd said it then it would have been clearer 😉

[livid widget]

I can't really spell it out without being forced to take another timeout :p

[vocal rivet]

Hence the wink.

[livid widget]

Do the brits spell it with a u? 🤔

[vocal rivet]

No, we spell it with I and T.

[paper marsh]

Use the movement speed on it to maneuver and distance some of the enemies and dodge attacks. Use the stamina reduction to get more attacks in

As always though AoE weapons are good in Ashlands bc there’s often hordes

[vocal rivet]

Yes, that's why he's so upset about it.

[vapid hearth]

Assuming I don't end up using the spires to build a bridge to the next Ashlands island, imma need at least 75-100 yggdrasil wood, 150-200 finewood, and 300-400 iron nails, assuming the distance is that generous. The ceramic plates should be the easiest part

[tight yacht]

so it seems like past midgame there is no use for turnips, and i should just farm carrots and onions

[livid widget]

Seeds for chix

[vapid hearth]

But what good AoE weapons are there? The bile bombs barely do damage even with their DoT

[ornate sigil]

For ashlands, people like frostneir for its AOE, but it is way underpowered to be a main weapon.

[finite lodge]

what does boolean mean?

[livid widget]

true or false

[vapid hearth]

What about the lightning atgeir?

[ornate sigil]

Would likely work well with its power attack.

[tight yacht]

rainy days = sailing days

[vocal rivet]

Rainy days = serpents for days.

[tight yacht]

are serpents more likely to spawn while raining?

[ornate sigil]

Rainy days=/=raft days

[vocal rivet]

They'll ONLY spawn in storms or at night.

[tight yacht]

oh interesting

well time to go fishing

[vapid hearth]

I'm surprised bonemaw meat, cooked or otherwise, isn't used in any cooking recipes

[paper marsh]

Staff of embers for mage, 2H hammers or atgeir for melee. Atgeir and embers are pretty busted, so those are prob the best options

[livid widget]

drake helm is so cool looking

[vocal rivet]

Yet.

[paper marsh]

Skellies and later on ||trolls|| are also great distractions, letting you focus on single target dmg

[vapid hearth]

Wait, but aren't most mobs there resistant to fire? It's why I only carry around the thunder shotgun and the staff of frost as a fallback

[azure yacht]

Ember staff deals blunt too

In an aoe

[livid widget]

Do dragon eggs respawn?

[vapid hearth]

Oh yeah, I also have the trollstav, but I'm leaving it at home until I find a fortress to use it on

[paper marsh]

Yea deals blunt and resistant doesn’t mean immune

[idle moon]

hope any future recipes that use bonemaw meat don't weigh as much as the meat itself

[paper marsh]

Likely won’t

[azure yacht]

It was a good decision on NOT making ashlands enemies weak to blunt.

I would've hated that ember staff and even frostner were so relevant at that point

And even still, ember staff fairly dominates ashlands in a biome where ranged physical dmg is reduced (pierce)

[ornate sigil]

I don't believe so. But there are usually a couple nests per mountain.

[vapid hearth]

I thought they did respawn

[paper marsh]

Regular serpent meat reduces in weight a lot when made into stew

[ornate sigil]

Should be plenty to summon modor more than once.

[paper marsh]

They do respawn but it’s a long timer on them

[livid widget]

I just loathe the thought of dragging them back up the mountain. Perhaps when we get the better portals.

[paper marsh]

Usually not worth waiting for them. Just if you do come back to a mountain after a few in game weeks you can be happy there’s eggs there

[ornate sigil]

Catapult. The answer to any mountain climbing woe(s).

And then it's like Easter. Just gata find the eggs.

[tight yacht]

are there any dungeons in the plains or just towers/villages

nothing instanced?

[paper marsh]

No dungeons

[livid widget]

oooh, they have respawned

[paper marsh]

How common do you guys feel ||valks are? I wanna skip to Ashlands for fracture staff but it’s useless unless upgraded so I’d need some valk feathers||

[ornate sigil]

For the plains, there is hildir's tower but I don't believe that is an instance like sunken crypts or the like.

[ornate sigil]

Very much less common than ask or charred. I think I saw a total of 4 in the time is took me to find and raid a Stronghold.

[vapid hearth]

Oh yeah, I never bothered with the fracture staff because of my own elemental skill being too low, I think
And because fire, and fire is resisted against by most mobs there

[paper marsh]

I do have 1.5x resource rate on which I hope will be my saving grace

[ornate sigil]

I likely saw about a dozen ask and likely more than 80+ charred

[paper marsh]

I’ll have to raid a fortress anyways to catapult home tho, bc I’m playing with a no Ashlands portals rule

[tight yacht]

archery in this game is so damn satisfying

[paper marsh]

Archery is satisfying at first and then gets boring quick to me

[ornate sigil]

Birds just poof

[paper marsh]

Everything dies too fast when you get high skill 😭

[tight yacht]

long distance shots are just great

[paper marsh]

Huntsman bowing a fuling village is very fun tho

[tight yacht]

yeah its boring killing high health things by spam shooting them i will say that tho

[vapid hearth]

Maybe I should wear a full ask set and go full SSS for exploring the Ashlands

[paper marsh]

Valid, just don’t get hit

[vapid hearth]

Should be more doable with the ask set and tons of stamina. Maybe with the Eikthyr power as well

[paper marsh]

Ngl tho Askvin cloak is so fun and good in Ashlands

Like mage build with Askvin cloak, and then fenris pants and chest and flammetal Helmet (or all ask hide) on 2E 1S and you’re just straight cruising with magic with some melee supplementing

[tight yacht]

why are my clothes randomly taking durability damage

[livid widget]

plains burrs

[tight yacht]

fair enough, have a nice day

[livid widget]

I have not seen anything that would cause random durability loss

[tight yacht]

yeah its weird, ill repair them, do stuff around my base, and then come back and they are slightly damaged

[livid widget]

Fall dmg maybe

[ornate sigil]

Mods by chance?

[tight yacht]

that causes durability loss?

[livid widget]

Nope, speculating.

[tight yacht]

this is vanilla run

[ornate sigil]

Hmm

[tight yacht]

its not enough damage to matter, its just weird

[ornate sigil]

Fall damage would make sense...unless you have an infestation of micro greylings smacking you as you go about your base building business.

[livid widget]

Let me leap from a building and see

no durability loss 🤷

[tight yacht]

ill see if i can catch what causes it

where does the yag vesvigir spawn

[ornate sigil]

Almost nowhere. You are better off just looking for his shrine.

[tight yacht]

what does his shrine look like

[ornate sigil]

The tall stone pillars. About 5 of them looking kinda like a hand coming out of the ground.

The palm will have his shrine.

[sinful fulcrum]

If you wear full ask set (cape too) you will outrun everything nothing will kill you

and if you tame them askvins, there will be nothing to worry about

[paper marsh]

Stonehenges. Semi-rare places, not guaranteed to have a vegvisir

[tight yacht]

oh i passed one of those already

[livid widget]

We found the tablet in a stone circle

[tight yacht]

im guessing these idols are the boss item

[livid widget]

yes

[vapid hearth]

If I tame one of them or if I tame them all?

Because I managed to tame a 1-star Ask, and as soon as I brought it to base, it got distracted by charred, and it eventually led to it getting killed by said charred

[paper marsh]

Prob means riding it around

[vapid hearth]

That is true
I suppose the only thing I could do to keep tamed asks safe (I have one other one star ask tamed) is preemptively build a barn for it and keep it out of sight from the dozens of mobs popularing the Ashlands

[outer spindle]

Yes, dig two holes to get a breeding pair and then you can merge them to start farming

[vapid hearth]

....shit, and the two holes were close enough for that
I should have done that from the start

[tight yacht]

damn once you get flax and barley going they really take off

not having a separate seeding growth cycle means these things haul ass

[vapid hearth]

Absolutely!
I love how padded armor is much less painful to upgrade than the previous metal armors because of that

[tight yacht]

and you get an unbelievable amount of black metal

[vapid hearth]

YYyep
Speaking of which, I should upgrade my blackmetal axe to max already

[livid widget]

I feel like Mistlands should have monkeys

[tight yacht]

is htat a woodcutting one

which blackmetal things are worth making

[livid widget]

pick, axe, sword, porcupine

knife

[tight yacht]

i still need to upgrade my past armor sets as much as i can now

[livid widget]

It's so cheap may as well go all in

[tight yacht]

root, troll, and fenris

are any of those worth using at higher biomes? probably not troll, but how does root and fenris stand up

[paper marsh]

Fenris is great throughout the whole game

[tight yacht]

the most annoying to upgrade too ofc...

but yeah raw speed is hard to beat

[azure yacht]

It increases your defenses so you don't get hit...

But with that armor you shouldn't get hit in the first place

And root harnesk is one of the best armor pieces in the game

[tight yacht]

why

[azure yacht]

Pierce resistance

[tight yacht]

why is that so good

[livid widget]

arrows and spears

[tight yacht]

the other armors arent good for that?

[azure yacht]

It reduces pierce damage by 50%, and the most annoying enemies deal pierce damage

[crystal hatch]

Any advices how to bust FPS on small hostPC server? we did "gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1" thing in boot config file and use Recoursce Unload Optimizer mod, but still has severe FPS drops

[atomic frigate]

there is no cure 😔

[vapid hearth]

I can only hope it won't get nerfed

[paper marsh]

I doubt it

I'll say though, depending on the difficulty that armor piece is either really bad, or really really good

[crystal hatch]

maybe some other optimizing mod? i can't believe where is no way to somehow fix it...

[merry sun]

root harnesk is the only piece of armor untill now that got Pierce resistance

Doing an overall better Damage reduction against many enemies

• the fire weakness can be rulled with fire resistance wine

the wine completely deny the weakness + add resistance to fire

Fenris set is cool, but that fire resistance isnt that effective without a good amount of armor

[paper marsh]

Fenris is all about movement to avoid tanking hits. Works pretty well in plains and mistlands imo, although I often do use a heavy armor helmet since the fenris hood isn't the best, and of course root chest is OP so also often swap out the chest

In mistlands you unlock stuff that makes armor less important tho, which makes fenris v nice

[tight yacht]

so i should go plains armor helm, root chest, and fenris rest in plains?

[azure yacht]

The only enemy that deals fire in plains is shamans and Yagluth, but Yag is only when you summon him and shamans' projectiles aren't that hard to dodge

In case you don't want or cannot use fire wine for whatever reason

[idle moon]

there's also those fulings with the torches

[azure yacht]

Oh right

[paper marsh]

That's a pretty good plan for Plains and Mistlands

[tight yacht]

any competing gear sets for other things for those biomes or is that basically the best spread

[idle moon]

if you're running root in plains though, you seriously need to keep an eye on those shamans, it's really bad if they hit you

or just run the fire mead ofc

[tight yacht]

any way to get abominations to spawn? or is it totally random

[daring sinew]

what the cartography table dp

*do

[merry sun]

i would go with Root Chest and heavy armor you Will tank squitos with those

[tight yacht]

shares map and exploration data with others who interact with it

[daring sinew]

oh

[tight yacht]

useless in single player

[merry sun]

im playing on Very hard and is working for me anyway

[paper marsh]

Root chest is a necessity on vhard

[merry sun]

you can explore big swamps, they spawn disguised

run and make noise you probably will found more than one

[tight yacht]

ah 66m cooldown on spawns

i was hoping i could knock em out fast but nope

[vapid hearth]

I have to wonder, does the shield generator block spawns in a wider area? Because in my base, no mobs ever appeared close enough to start attacking my ship

[tight yacht]

chains are so annoying to get

[paper marsh]

Yup

It’s annoying the shield needs em. I’d recommend not upgrading the shield though (on normal diff)

[tight yacht]

wait i need chains to upgrade it too?

[fossil delta]

How many chains are needed? I have almost 50, and we have done our plains gear.

[tight yacht]

i used a ton to make braziers

[fossil delta]

Oh, I hate those, so...

[tight yacht]

i like that they run on something i can grow in my base

i have a ton of resin so i use a few torches but mostly its all coal powered

[fossil delta]

Just run the swamps at night and kill the ... what are the called in Valheim? Wraiths? Specters?

I can run 2 of my swamps like that and get 4 to 5 chains per night period.

[old kite]

is there an objctivly good way to level up blood magic?

[fossil delta]

No idea, but I bet there is a youtube video for doing it.

[outer spindle]

Afk? Train on Drauger spawns

[daring sinew]

I m so glad i keep trolls around my house cus i got swamp raided and the troll came and killed em al

[fossil delta]

Eventually the raids will easily kill trolls.

[daring sinew]

then I need more trolls

do they just keep spawning

[fossil delta]

Trolls? Yes. Just randomly, and not always in the exact same spots.

[daring sinew]

Im gonna keep em around for protection

[fossil delta]

I forget how big their spawn "area" is. Its not huge.

[daring sinew]

I literally got spawnkilled like 8 times by the same draugr before I escaped my own house

[paper marsh]

I’m wanting to start using ||growths|| for protection. Making enemies weak to fire is exciting

[fossil delta]

They are a pain to manage. I no longer even try.

[vapid hearth]

I think I'm gonna end up building a bridge to the next Ashlands island and use crags for stability, if not create a bridge made entirely out of drakkars

[paper marsh]

Yea I’d like to set up a system of having them trapped and ready to shoot, but it does sound like a a pain

There’s a pit right next to my base tho, so could always just bring enemies there

[paper marsh]

I feel like ashwood logs could make a nice bridge too

Like, raw logs. Not some ashwood build piece

[vapid hearth]

If only I could carry the raw logs in that case

Hmmm, if I'm gonna craft a Ripper, would any of the three upgrades be more ideal over the other?

[paper marsh]

I’d say definitely blood. Nature and lightening isn’t good on low attack speed. And with proper blood use you can one shot valks on a crossbow sneak attack

[vapid hearth]

Oooooh, thank you very much. I'll definitely keep a lookout for more blood gems

[paper marsh]

You are able to massively knock back logs with Dunder

[paper marsh]

About the only weapon blood is worth it on

[vapid hearth]

My main weapons are mace and splitnir, but I already upgraded the splitnir so I'm going to need to craft a second one

[vapid hearth]

Is it? Huh
I thought blood dominated over the other two

[paper marsh]

Nah

[timid sun]

Constant management makes it pretty bad in general

[paper marsh]

Requires 3 hp foods and being at the brink of death to be worth anything, and even then it’s not like massively powerful, just a good bit better than the alternatives

[crisp portal]

Guys quick question, Those spikes in the fortress wall break?

[vapid hearth]

Well damn
Good thing I gave my mace lightning, then

[drowsy citrus]

No

[vapid hearth]

I thought those spikes yielded copper scrap

[crisp portal]

Because, saw a number popping up when I hit it with fireball after clearing it up. What could it be then?

[crisp portal]

not that, but something...

[drowsy citrus]

Not sure. Mine don't break

[crisp portal]

PLus, the most recent fortress I raided had 2 enemy balista, but none of them 2 dropped a thing. Wiki says it always drop 1 (that thing that looks like a gear). could it have dropped into the lava?

[austere flame]

lox in the process of aclimitizing dont seem to get alerted by me?

[idle moon]

I always got cogwheel from skuggs

[vale river]

best vid i've found (for full AFK): https://youtu.be/mkwRM-UO5UM?si=5Ul3GtM3-CpGQU2n
personal tip: find a place with 2 spawners cause at a certain point your skeles will 1 shot the mobs so you may need to set up 2 if you care. also make a safer hut

[crisp portal]

my first one it had 2, i got two cogwheel, but this one that also had two skuggs ( is it their names? xD) and I think they dropped into lava (both sides were near lava) because I got none

anyway, i'm not building as many catapults i think... are they useful?

[idle moon]

I never had much use for them, but if you're having issues with flametal I've heard they can be good for mining the pillars

[eternal raven]

Guy I found a staff that really useful in Ashland when u have large amount of enemies coming
The staff of the wild. Just spam that and run around

[crisp portal]

I saw some videos that 4 or so are indeed good with explosive ammo... I may try, then

[eternal raven]

Ember and fracturing nahhh staff of the wild really did the job

Recommend element magic lvl have to be 35 upper

[heavy bobcat]

what do you mean there are iron deposits outside of the crypts, what? no, not possible.

and YET i find a muddy scrap pile just on the edge of a swamp shore

has this always been a thing

[old kite]

thanks

[vale river]

oh yea, the vid is not really a tutorial - more like a showcase. it's pretty simple to set up though

[vale river]

yup, can use wishbone to find them

[tight yacht]

how much iron compared to just finding a crypt?

[heavy bobcat]

Cool cause I've only run into 4 crypts and explored several swamps with little to no luck

[limber coral]

Anyone down to vc and play?

[honest swallow]

Friends and I just got up to mountains. Every time it starts to snow/blizzard my game freezes/crashes. Anyone have a fix for this?

[viscid tangle]

Is the battleaxe worth making when you're in iron weapon tier?

[fossil delta]

It usually involves changing graphics settings. There is a you tube video thats usually recommended.

I had it happen just a few weeks ago, and I have a pretty high end system.

[plush umbra]

hey

[small iris]

How do we combine copper and tin to get bronze?

[honest schooner]

@small iris 1.) You build a forge (it's in the crafting category in the build menu)

2.) You take two copper and one tin to the forge to make bronze

@viscid tangle it's very powerful in terms of damage and wide swing arc (plus the middle click does high stun damage). The downside is that the stamina usage and movement speed debuff is rough. But it's a viable weapon

[small iris]

Ah makes sense, thank you so much for the help

[honest schooner]

@small irisyessir

[fossil salmon]

Was there a new update, MistPlains? It's been foggy like 80% of the time I've gone to the Plains.

[loud valve]

Plains near mistlands can be foggy ime

[fossil salmon]

there's no mistlands near my Plains

[spiral compass]

There are weather effects that can make plains foggy

[fossil salmon]

I know, but 4 every 5 days?

[spiral compass]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

just saying its possible to be foggy

you can try sleeping to change the weather faster

[fossil salmon]

didn't work for me

[tight yacht]

black metal sword or porcupine?

[fossil salmon]

what biome?

[tight yacht]

plains

[fossil salmon]

either, I use the frostner

[tight yacht]

thats what im using now

[fossil salmon]

then black sword so you also have slash

[tight yacht]

is porcupine worth crafting if i have frostner and a bow already?

[fossil salmon]

i think frostner is better than porc

[tight yacht]

is there no black metal pickaxe?

[fossil salmon]

there is later

[keen schooner]

Hi

[tight yacht]

is the damage swords do different than what axes do (minus hitting trees ofc)

[fossil salmon]

If it hasn't changed. swords can do full damage to multiple enemies. Axe splits up it's damage among multiple enemies.

[eternal raven]

With axe u can lvl up early game

My new playthrough didn't fight the elder yet and the axe already lvl 26

Really hate the forest event when u solo u can't prepare in time and in hard mode the DMG seem too be a lot. Almost got my axe to lvl 30

Of anyone wants to hop on

[plush umbra]

Sooo... new Mac update bricked Linux, which means Steam Deck, most server providers and most linux users, right? Was going to download Valheim on Linux but... :(

Does that actually hold any water, or do you think I'm good to play Valheim on Linux? Maybe after a few patches or somethin?

[tight yacht]

omg its the yag vegvesir

lets see how far away my base is

[vapid hearth]

Hmm, perhaps The Demolisher would be helpful in the Ashlands as a two handed hammer

Though the Himmfl would also be good, but I haven't leveled up my pole arms skill, instead having focused my spear skill until it reached the level 80 range

[tight yacht]

one island over, not bad

[tacit crown]

Running on linux fine right now 🤷‍♂️

[plush umbra]

ah, okay so it's just a regular maybe Linux will work, maybe it won't, gotcha 👍

[mint blade]

frostner is insane cause of the spirit and frost damage yeah it’s def worth it

[tight yacht]

i know frostner is good, im asking if porcupine is worth crafting

[vapid hearth]

I have to ask, how does the silver sword fare against the Ashlands' undead?

[mint blade]

yeah it is, i thought u asked abt the frostner mb

[vapid hearth]

Since the Spear attacks quickly, I can only assume it will combo very well with iolite, which should really help against hordes

I do admit I feel butthurt that I didn't think to go with something like this until my Spears skill has drained from level 80+ to level 66, and that's on easy difficulty

[mint blade]

not very good, even though it does spirit damage it doesn’t kill them nearly as fast as using the mistwalker, if you want to do spirit damage use the frostner cause of the added frost damage

[vapid hearth]

Well damn, I should have crafted the mistwalker in that case

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[finite lodge]

what type of damage does staff of fracturing do

[neon quest]

The simulation is breaking, Valheim physics have entered the real world https://youtu.be/r6LbehEpx-A?t=247

[opal prairie]

Blunt and fire, like the staff of embers.
12 / 12 each projectile at lvl 1, upgrades only give extra fire damage it seems.

[finite lodge]

can i explode an explosive payload without a catapult?

[vapid hearth]

If the 4th boss is Mom and the 7th boss is Dad, I have to wonder if the 8th boss will be their child

[idle storm]

same for staff of embers, the upgrades only increase fire damage for that too.
Unlike staff of embers which gets a mere 15% increase in fire damage by going from level 1 to 4 the staff of fracturing gets 100% more fire damage by going from 1 to 3 though.
Which makes it absolutely bonkers everywhere BUT Ashlands, really. The blunt damage is what you want in Ashlands, and staff of embers does the same blunt damage but as an AoE so it's simply superior in that biome.

[outer spindle]

It's dirt cheap for a reason I guess, for people who want to be mage without spending refined eiter

[open mortar]

guys if i run away will yagluth lose aggro

[merry pebble]

i believe he does if you go so far you cant see his healthbar

[buoyant ether]

with what can i summon bonemass?

[opal prairie]

Withered bones.

[opal prairie]

Yes, get out of his sight and he will drop aggro, it is quite a range though.

[ionic iron]

It’s only worth it for collection purposes and it’s kinda cool looking. It splits damage between Blunt and piercing, so plains boss and seekers resist piercing and only lox is weak to it in plains. But for lox the spear is better.. because it doesn’t have any element damage it’s just way not as good as frostner really. 1500hrs and I’ve made it once.

[open mortar]

man ive been trying to beat this guy since yesterday

do i need frost resistance against yagluth?

are there any blockable attacks?

[buoyant ether]

any tips for bonemass?

after that i can move to the mountains ?

[open mortar]

yes

every boss has some unique drop that is required to progress in the next biome

[buoyant ether]

yeyyaaaa, i kinda did something to get to bonemass easier tbh, rly disliked the swamp stuff

[open mortar]

swamp was the next most grindy phase after the bronze and tin era for me

[merry pebble]

you need fire resistance, he doesent do any frost dmg 🙂

[opal prairie]

Fire resistance wine, not blockable but dodgeable, yes.
Learn his attacks he makes a certain move and that translates to what will happen, learn how to dodge those and attack while you can.

[open mortar]

yes i recognized the left hand, right hand, and the vomit

so i should just run a frostner no shield

fenris vs padded for yagluth

[opal prairie]

Iron mace or the 2 hander hammer is your friend, take the hoe with you to his altar and prepare the surrounding land.
Poison mead.

[buoyant ether]

prepare the land ?

[spring raven]

queen defeated, very laggy though it may have been

[merry pebble]

¨make it as flat as possible so you dont have to worry about getting stuck somewhere 🙂

[ionic iron]

Yeah you want a decent area to move around in, you don’t want to be stuck in deep water against bonemass

Just circling around his alter is the best way

[merry pebble]

bonemass* 😉

[open mortar]

is it worth carrying around a shield for yagluth since it slows me

[ionic iron]

I’m tired 🥱

Yeah you can block his beam attack

[merry pebble]

happens to everyone 😄 no worries

[opal prairie]

Or silver sword, fenris set is a good idea.
Spawn proof or clear the area beforehand.
If you want a safe spot to portal out or regen health dig a tunnel under his altar.
Dodge rolling his nova attack is a good idea.

[opal prairie]

At least part of it.

[open mortar]

fenris will be better?

nova is fireball or lazer?

[ionic iron]

Woosaa!

[opal prairie]

Fenris lets you move away faster and has build in fire resistance so if the fire resistance wine drops and you can't refresh it quickly you still have that.
You might take a tad more damage since it has less armor but you are trying to not take that much damage.
You can also use frost arrows against yagluth and stand at a safeish distance, will take a while though or you can just treat it as a bit of extra damage now and then when you moved away.

[merry pebble]

the explosion around him

[opal prairie]

The slam he does.

[open mortar]

aha

thats useful, thanks guys

[opal prairie]

Another useful thing to know, his head blocks most of the meteors so if he does his meteor attack get close and personal and smack his face.

[open mortar]

no way! thats the most useful one

i was having a hard time with meteors

[tacit crown]

Your head also blocks his meteors (one time use)

[open mortar]

do armor resistance effects stack?

[tepid prawn]

only the strongest is applied

if you're talking about the same type

[leaden hemlock]

if i get any kind of mod for my game, and go into my previous world to play with a friend, does he also need the mods?

[open mortar]

guys yagluth is no more

[paper marsh]

I think it depends on the mod. Most mods require everyone to have them, but smaller QoL ones don’t

Could ask in #mods-discussion tho

[opal prairie]

Except for serpent shield and root armor, they stack I believe.
Edge case though for most purposes the highest resistance is taken.

[rain flare]

They do stack

[tepid prawn]

really?

[rain flare]

It’s an incredibly powerful combo for dealing with pierce damage enemies

[tepid prawn]

so pierce resistant + pierce resistant makes = very resistant in that one case?

[open mortar]

thanks for the tips guys, the potions especially were very useful

[opal prairie]

It makes, can't touch me with pierce in that once case.

[tepid prawn]

not bad

[rain flare]

It’s because of how the blocking and armor mechanics interact

When you block, you have a certain amount of damage reduction from your blocking skill/shield level

Then you have a separate damage reduction from your armor

[tepid prawn]

ah that makes sense

[rain flare]

Serpent shield gives you resistance to the blocking damage reduction, and root harness gives you resistance to the armor damage reduction

[finite lodge]

so many things unlocked when i made some flametal bars for the first time, which should i make first lol i have choice paralysis
