[steep girder]

First thing I made I think was shield, never too much block / parry, then other armors after that

[vapid hearth]

Shield + Lightning mace for me
I think imma craft a lightning spear so I can take advantage of its fast attack speed

[idle storm]

crafting station upgrades

[paper marsh]

If you like parrying I wouldn't recommend wasting metal on the shield

But yea food and crafting station upgrades, then berserker axes are v good but whatever weapon skill you're speccing into you could go for. Best not to do spear tho

[verbal radish]

Man , i wish bloodstone gem have life steal effect in addition to increase damage per HP lost...

[paper marsh]

I can't even tell if that would be a nerf or a buff

[steep girder]

Kinda both, but it would have to be finely balanced as to not make it overpowered since healing as a mechanic is very powerful

[paper marsh]

Life steal sounds like something I don't want in the game, and which would either be OP or useless depending on how its tuned

Feels dumb to put it on a weapon that requires low hp tho

[opal prairie]

There should be a way to stay low life with that sort of weapon.

[verbal radish]

Someone did a math , the bonus damage still weaker than the 2 other gems i think

[paper marsh]

Yea. I don't find it too hard to stay low hp by just tanking a hit now and then, or by chugging tasty meads, but it would be nice with a better method

[opal prairie]

I'll be going lighting berserker axes as backup for my mage build.

[paper marsh]

Nah blood has the highest DPS potential, although I would argue it's not that worth it. Blood can give over 60% extra damage, lightning (2nd highest damage potential gem) gives about 18-20% extra damage on the weapon its best for (lightning axes)

[open mortar]

guys i just went to the mistlands

[paper marsh]

Congrats! Enjoy your stay

[open mortar]

theres these tinanic horn soudning flying things, what is your advice

[verbal radish]

People diss on the green gem a lot but having enemy rooted in place is great CC plus not like you gonna fight ashland enemies all day long . My great sword use greem gem and the thrust is darn great when enemy got rooted.

[paper marsh]

Run, or equip a bow or spear

Fire barley wine may not be a bad choice, especially if you're wearing root chest

[open mortar]

im on padded

is it killable with draugr fang bow

[paper marsh]

Fire resist can still be useful, but not needed

[idle storm]

It's not exactly complicated. 10 flat lightning damage + 25% chance for a 75 damage proc = 28,5 bonus damage per hit on average.
Since most weapons do at least 100 base damage you'd need to lose ~100-150hp with a blood weapon to match that which shouldn't be an issue at all. And it's much less for slayer or ripper.

[paper marsh]

Definitely. I recommend getting under it though

[open mortar]

UNDER IT?!?

[paper marsh]

Not a troll, trust

[open mortar]

bro i aint going near that dangerous looking thing

[paper marsh]

Avoiding it is totally fine too

[verbal radish]

I would recommend not bother fighting it..i avoided those till i got arbalest

[open mortar]

can i shoot it off cliffs

and is mistlands all water? how will i get my stuff back if i lose it 😩

[paper marsh]

Nah, but there's a good amount of water

[paper marsh]

So basically you can try and go long range and shoot it, but as it gets closer it's gonna shoot back and its gonna hurt

Or you can go close to it, under it (preferably towards the back of it under it) because it can't shoot you there. And shooting the underside of it does extra damage :)

[opal prairie]

The underbelly is it's weak spot, it can't target you with its fireballs if you are under it, it drops ticks though but they are one shot one kill things but do tons of damage if they latch on, roll or fireball your feet are the best ways to deal with them if they latch on.
Pewing it with a bow and kiting it to dvergr is the most "fun" way to deal with them for me, it gets rid of the gjall and it might destroy some part of the dvergr stuff that you can then pick up.

[paper marsh]

It will turn when you're under it to get a better shot at you though. Keep trying to be under its butt, if you get under its head it might get a shot at you, and that's death

[opal prairie]

Unless you time your dodge roll.

[open mortar]

beat it but that was close, 0 stamina had to drink potion + it had minions which jumped me

[rain flare]

Lightning axes are best - the potential for hitting multiple enemies is amazing

I honestly just don’t like the blood weapons

[opal prairie]

Gjalls still tick me off.

[rain flare]

Never been a fan of having low hp

[open mortar]

good1

[paper marsh]

such a mage thing to say

[vapid hearth]

Methinks the Deep North will be what is essentially the nordic holy lands, and will have regular, not-fallen Valkyries

[paper marsh]

I know people don't like staff of fracturing much, but fully upgraded that thing is gonna be godamnn OP in Deep North mark my words

[merry sun]

the Eggs are weak to pierce

Dont get UNDER, just shoot in the Orange things under him

[open mortar]

yes

it started to drop some stuff

that was close

[merry sun]

ye thats why Eggs are made

[open mortar]

one word answer: are there worse things than this flying housefly?

[merry sun]

absolutely

you can get raided by 2 G'jalls btw

good luck

[merry sun]

Brutal Slayer is overpowered when half life

[merry sun]

If ashlands got like ||10 enemies variants|| imagine Deep North 👻

[vapid hearth]

I can't imagine how much worse the Deep North would be, unless they started using siege weapons against me in addition to the Ashlands' endlessly spawning hordes

And I can only imagine how powerful the dverger there must be

Now I can only imagine how powerful graydwarves directly from yggdrasil roots must be, or ashwood graydwarves

[azure yacht]

Deep north could be a land of ghosts and spirit in contrast to ashlands being a land of physical/corporeal undead

[vapid hearth]

THat is very true, since Niflheim is a land of the dead

[azure yacht]

Also, the war theme should remain in ashlands, having two consecutive biomes with the same theme seems repetitive.

Also, we have way too much fighting in ashlands, wouldn't like to repeat it in DN

[rain flare]

That is legit the only blood weapon I would use

[rain flare]

Indeed 😛

[vapid hearth]

Then I can only hope the Deep North will be a breath of fresh (frigid) air
Either that or have some sort of gimmick that'll make us wish for the Ashlands' war theme

[merry sun]

in counterpart ripper isnt any good with any gem variant

[paper marsh]

Not overpowered, but it's good yea

Slayer and Ripper are prob the only weapons I think you can effectively defend putting a blood enchantment on

[merry sun]

i regret in saying ripper is good with bloodstone

you wont get low life to use it

[verbal radish]

Disagree , i give green gem to ripper , so extra poison damage to non undead and root enemy in place which give you extra time to load the bolt

[azure yacht]

I want it to be purely horror-themed and existential threat

[paper marsh]

It's not that hard to lose health 🤣

[merry sun]

bc unlike the bow who can proc effects and got a fast draw, arbalest is kinda slow to DPS and its an overall first shot/engagement

[paper marsh]

Blood magic, fall damage, get hit by a mob, eat new food, etc.

[opal prairie]

Standing on a fire is one way.

[azure yacht]

Let yourself get hit and done

And then keep distance while hitting everything at range with increased damage

[merry sun]

• most of enemies in ash got pierce resistance

[paper marsh]

Hell, even just tell your buddy to wail on you with a mace

[verbal radish]

And then get hit again during combo and die

[azure yacht]

That just makes the increased damage compensate it nicely

I've managed well with a nature ripper despite that resistance

[merry sun]

Id think storm fang is the best ranged weapon atm

[paper marsh]

I agree it's not great against enemies resistant to it unless you're sneak attacking. But that's why you just don't use it in full-on combat against charred and morgen

[azure yacht]

But I should've made a nature fang instead and give blood to ripper

[paper marsh]

I'd agree. Bows are busted, and that lightning damage is sweet

[verbal radish]

and then your food bonus kick in , you recover enough HP to decrease damage output by huge margin

[paper marsh]

I think crossbow is underated in Ashlands though. Many people are complaining about being overwhelmed by enemies, but when I walk through with a crossbow I just spot enemies at distance and then oneshot enemies that are far apart with sneak attacks, or if they're grouped up I'll oneshot the most dangerous target which is a great start to combat

[merry sun]

Nature fang seems very good, but i cant unsee the chain lightning damage cleaning up hordes of enemies

[verbal radish]

you gonna burn through arrow though , unless you have steady supply of renewable mat for arrow , the charred arrow is not renewable

[merry sun]

Ashwood is really expensive

[verbal radish]

i prefer the carapace arrow / bolt , renewable and only 10 less pierce

[merry sun]

i use frost arrows when in danger and needle arrow when just shooting for fun

[vapid hearth]

Oh yeah, a shame ashwood is very finite

[verbal radish]

and the ashland biome is just too small in general :/

funny how the tree keep chopping themselves cus fire from the sky , should have been immune to fire to begin with

[merry sun]

i dont think ashlands is small, but the resources are kinda very finite

like only 20 charred fortress per world

[verbal radish]

they are like what ? the south pole of the map . Meanwhile Mistland is just everywhere from north to south --

To me , the ashland take a very small portion of the map , probably Deep North will be too

[merry sun]

id appreciate that biome division

Mid and early game biomes in the middle, late game biomes around and in the poles

looking at mist rn its such a very good introduction to the late game ngl

[paper marsh]

Mistlands fave biome

[merry sun]

doesnt fit like the last biome, but its definitely one of the biomes ever created

[open mortar]

what tips do you have for mistlands traversal

[verbal radish]

Try to craft the feather cape fast

[merry sun]

I really don't know why it still impresses me to this day that we have a biome entirely made up of insects and bugs. But no biome composed only of animals (except meadows)

[open mortar]

oh that sounds great

[verbal radish]

Oh wait , that mean you need to craft gault table or something , magic related --

[open mortar]

good luck to me

[merry sun]

In every biome i like to focus on the crafting tables and their upgrades

[verbal radish]

which mean trying to break the dwarf box

[open mortar]

its over for me isnt it

[hidden gorge]

But it's not. Dverger live there too.

[verbal radish]

No , just need to have....accident

[open mortar]

i met a dverger on this mistlands

[merry sun]

Fr, completely forgot

[opal prairie]

Galdr table, yes.

[verbal radish]

like baiting seeker to dverg camp

[open mortar]

god knows what a seeker is

so far im struck to shock by a flying bug

[merry sun]

bro found a gjall but not a seeker?

[verbal radish]

I prefer the camp where the dverg is excavating the giant bone , there always the box there

[open mortar]

is a seeker more dangerous?

[merry sun]

no at all, its like the biome minion

[hidden gorge]

No

[open mortar]

oh then chill

[verbal radish]

they do hit hard though

[opal prairie]

Nope, they are the basic mobs in the biome.

[open mortar]

you would say gjalls are like the lox of mistlands

and seekers the feulings

[merry sun]

Gjall is too unique to say it, the biome got a brute besides him

[opal prairie]

Indeed, troll, abomination, stone golem, fuling berserker, gjall / seeker soldier, ...

[paper marsh]

and hares

[opal prairie]

Kinda but the seeker soldier is so slow that it isn't really a threat, lot's of life though, so more of an annoyance then anything.

[paper marsh]

Gjalls are the lox, Seekers are the fulings, but there's also a fuling berserker hidden in there

[merry sun]

My first encounter with this "berserker hidden" was very chaotic

[hidden gorge]

Friendly iron miner

[opal prairie]

For me the lox is something special, does only aggro when you are pretty close and won't attack you on sight.
Kinda like beefed up boars.

[hidden gorge]

.... They do attack you on sight though

[verbal radish]

they have no chill

[paper marsh]

They have a very low agro range. Like they will be aware of you when you get nearby, but won't turn into active hunt mode unless you're 1m in front of their eyes

[merry sun]

lox are cute, I've wanted one of them since I saw Halstein

[ionic tree]

I hope mounted combat will be added or maybe lox can carry a cart that would be cool

[merry sun]

tames are only good to farm, but the riding is very secondary

sadly, i came here from ARK

[paper marsh]

Mounts are good for moving a lot of metal on land imo, and one of them is nice for crossing lava lakes

[azure yacht]

Explicitly discarded

[buoyant ether]

bonemass does insane dmg?! 😭

my troll armor is useless

[hidden gorge]

you're not meant to face tank bosses

their attacks are generally pretty slow and visibly telegraphed

[paper marsh]

Not useless. He hits a lot harder without it.

But if you feel weak could always make upgraded iron armor. Really supposed to learn how to dodgeroll through his attacks though (and have poison resist to not get hurt too bad by his poison)

After bonemass is when the bosses start having a lot of damage

[buoyant ether]

how about root armor

[paper marsh]

slightly better than troll. I don't feel like it's a big diff though

The root mask surprisingly gives less poison resist than a poison resist potion does

The root chestpiece is super good though (not against bonemass, but in general). Pierce resistance is great

[buoyant ether]

😭

is there a way to cheese him

[ionic tree]

sadly no

I died too many times with that boss

[smoky quarry]

build a tall tower, he wont reach you.

[paper marsh]

Several yea. Easiest is making stagbreaker or the Swamp 2 handed hammer (that one requires an elite draugr trophy) and then standing on top of the big skull in the middle and spamming left click. You'll hit him with the large range blunt damage, and he can't hit you (from what I hear)

Bosses only get significantly harder after bonemass though

[shy marlin]

yes there is, stand on top of the skull and get a sledge and there you go easy win

[hidden gorge]

step 1.) clear and flatten the area around the skull, so you won't trip over roots or get stuck in the water.
step 2.) drink poison resist, equip an iron mace, summon him
step 3.) kill his added mobs immediately, stay away when he belches, dodge his normal attacks
step 4.) continue to pound away at the hit point sponge, making sure you don't run out of stamina

this is pretty much the quickest (and easiest imo) way to kill him. it still isn't particularly quick, as it's mostly just chipping away at an insanely large health pool that is constantly regenerating... but the fight isn't too hard as long as you can follow some basic steps

[timid sun]

Cheese him by learning to fight it correctly, my boy bonemass about slow as in everything he does. So long as you've got poison resist and know how to roll through a big sludgy 1 arm hug you'll be fine.

[winter roost]

Hi am currently bonemass fight i beat him before but am playing on hard difficulty i haven't fight him for a good while any tips to brat his green but

[buoyant ether]

i just dislike everything about swamp etc i wanna be done with it and move on 😭 not proud of cheesing tho

[timid sun]

I feel you on that 100%, my least favorite biome

[winter roost]

Oh yh i hate the place

[winter roost]

Maybe i could come help u with him

[timid sun]

High number of enemies around, first biome to have real variance in enemies, the terrain is terrible, always wet, stamina managemenet is awful and it takes forever to make a little bit of progress (compared to other biomes)

[buoyant ether]

yes to all of that 😭

and the enemies somehow are way more annoying than anything else ive encountered, and i dont mean challenge wise, just plain annoying

[timid sun]

Yeah the blobs are experts at having a terrible hitbox (definitely has nothing to do with my aim, promise) leaches love to run on low health and wraiths can be some real ninjas

Draugr are chill though, can stand 5 feet in front of them and they still won't aggro onto me xD

[opal prairie]

If you get to close, you need to be much closer for them to attack you compared to other mobs.

[buoyant ether]

ngl mace > axe

okay he dead, broskies whats the armor i should go into mountains with ? something warm ?

[eternal vessel]

Mace is king

[timid sun]

Mace for Bonemass is pretty much a must but that said last time I killed him was with an abyssal razor... I was relying on my friends to deal the real damage but they kept dying so I rolled around with the boney boy for about 10 minutes basically just tickling him 😄

[opal prairie]

Get frost resist mead and make the wolf fur cape as soon as you can.

[buoyant ether]

so its mountain after swamp right ?

[fossil delta]

Yes.

[buoyant ether]

yeah

will troll armor do ?

[fossil delta]

If you parry a lot of people have issues figuring out the wolves attack.

If you parry and dodge the armor only matters when you screw up.

So if your good at both of those, you will do fine in troll.

[smoky quarry]

Dodging = 0.5sec invulnerable

[shy marlin]

why parry/dodge when wasd legit gets you out of anything

[smoky quarry]

hehe, fair good old Step Back

[fossil delta]

Yeah, if you do the roll. If you dodge by getting out of the way by running or jumping, invulnerability lasts longer.

[opal prairie]

For the moments you can't.

[crisp portal]

because of the stagger (not bosses sure) and possibly one-hit kill (for low HP mobs)

[buoyant ether]

does wolf chest alone protecc from cold ?

[crisp portal]

yep

[shy marlin]

my comment was just a pedantic one 💀 very aware, was just being flippant

[crisp portal]

xD

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I quit using both because it made the game too easy and boring to me. So now I use only tower shields, and don't roll. ( I am NOT trying to tell people how to play, I am just saying how I play, and why.)

[smoky quarry]

if all else fails, grab a big shield

[opal prairie]

As does the cape which is cheaper.

[fossil delta]

Cape needs what? 2 silver? Armor base is 20 silver.

[verbal radish]

I don't like big shield , the latest one push back the enemy too far and they can attack like usual .

[fossil delta]

You just keep moving forward after them. Sure, it takes longer, but I usually keep them off balance and have to hit them 3 or 4 times, but they die, and I do not.

[verbal radish]

And holding right mouse for the entire fight seems boring to me

[fossil delta]

Depends on the fight, but I usually only use the shield when I am fighting 3 or more. I can usually just move around and avoid being hit with 1 or two.

[smoky quarry]

stick like 10 shields on a Lox every side, bubble and stomp away

[opal prairie]

4 for lvl 1 and a total of 16 for max cape.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I just meant to make it and get a frost resistant item so you can stop using the mead.

[opal prairie]

Just 4 then, 6 wolf pelts and a wolf trophy.

[fossil delta]

So 4 is still far "cheaper" than the 20.

[opal prairie]

Exactly.
It is also a fine looking cloak.

[fossil delta]

I name them Fred, and pretend we talk. 😄

In solo, at least.

[opal prairie]

You are George and together you play tricks?

[fossil delta]

"Well Fred, this village has 3 beserkers and at least 3 Shaman. Looks like one of the beserkers is starred too. This is going to suck."

[buoyant ether]

buckler reigns supreme

[verbal radish]

the goold ol early day when tower shield could parry .

[fossil delta]

Thats before my time. I started playing about 40 days after release.

[tiny tiger]

Damn this was my worst performance against moder yet

The majority of the fight I was wondering how the hell the attack hitbox clipped me

Was not satisfying having to keep a distance and pelt her with arrows because I couldn’t dodge or parry her attacks

[fossil delta]

My last one was the easiest. I put down campfires as my anti spawner, instead of work benches, and she went around destroying those instead of attacking me.

[paper marsh]

Keep practicing until you feel comfortable with dodging her up close 😄

[tiny tiger]

Yeah she’s definitely my weakest fight out of the first 5, haven’t fought queen or fader yet

[paper marsh]

She's my favorite fight, but she's also the first boss that will wreck you with damage if she hits you

[fossil delta]

The Queen is the only one to kill me. That frikkin AoE attack of hers....

[paper marsh]

Going at it melee I presume?

[vapid hearth]

I always parry Moder's attacks when she's grounded (just feels nicer than dodge rolling), and run when she breathes ice

[smoky quarry]

with Moder, find a rune stone near by to use as cover

[tiny tiger]

See I’d jump to the side when she’d ice breath but she managed to hit me most of the time somehow

Even with fenris armor

Which was annoying considering one of the few times I managed to dodge it I simply walked out the way, but running with increased speed I’d get hit

[fossil delta]

Her breathe hits an area, so it can be a challenge to not be in that area.

[tiny tiger]

Visually it’d look like I didn’t get hit a lot of the time too

[vapid hearth]

Or give her a giant middle finger by creating a terrain pillar

[paper marsh]

Yea I recommend using dodge against the breath. For her ice barrage you can outrun it easily with fenris tho

[smoky quarry]

draw her to an old Rune stone and just hide behind it from breath, then come out and smack

repeat until dead. Rune stone is indestructible & aoe does not go through it

he will land near it at the other side and go round a rosey the rune

you can kill him with 1hp only no armor if you do it a few times

[fossil delta]

That is what I was wondering. She tends to land where it is least convenient, so eats up your stamina. Often even if your using the Eikthyr power.

[smoky quarry]

exactly why u se a rune. No running required

you just pop out from behind it, smack 2-3 times, hide. He does his breath, claw bla bla

patroling wolves were more of a danger

[paper marsh]

I'll say when I go at her with 3hp foods I definitely feel the stamina struggle. Doable though with stamina potions, maybe tasty meads could be good too

[smoky quarry]

ideal setup would be this close: #screenshots message

[paper marsh]

or be a gigachad and parry her ice breath

[vapid hearth]

So far I have five extractors up and running
With the amount of mage food I'm scarfing down my throat, that's clearly not enough sap. I need MOAR
I need to mug MOAR dorf homes

[opal prairie]

Enlist the help of gjalls.

[ripe narwhal]

Sooo I put 2eggs chicken near fire in a building, eggs status changed to warm so ig they were hatching I come back after some time and find feathers instead alive chickens ,what went wrong?

[vapid hearth]

Or my one refined eitr to let me break their component crates

[paper marsh]

Nah faster to just hit it with a sword or a fireball

[merry sun]

which was the fire source

[ripe narwhal]

Bonfire

[opal prairie]

You didn't chicken proof your fire.
They will walk into the fire and kill themselves.

[paper marsh]

they probably walked into the fire. Make sure it's sectioned off

I hear hanging braziers are also a good fire source

[ripe narwhal]

Oh alr thanks

[gentle bloom]

what was this 2mb patch today ? same some 2mb patch as yesterday ?

[opal prairie]

Fixing small things like the reversed building rotation thing.

[fossil delta]

They usually put their fixes in the patch notes channel. Sure it wasn't just Steam doing one of their mysterious fixes? Or is IG being slow about adding it to their channel here?

[opal prairie]

Could be but the inverted building rotation got fixed, so it might have been that, might have been something else.
I'm thinking the former though, small bug fixes that only solve one thing might just not need a note.

[fossil delta]

OK, they are probably just being slow about it. I'll check their main web page to see if its posted there. Or in Steam.

[buoyant ether]

i saw a piece of a mountain area thru map but it looks like its highly likely a very small one, should i just look for a bigger one straight away

[paper marsh]

Yea, a small one won't have much useful stuff

[fossil delta]

Hopefully its at least good enough for wolf taming. Especially if it easy to get back to your base.

[opal prairie]

If it is high enough you might get some silver and obsidian out of it.
If it is small and not high you can still find wolves and onion seeds, maybe a cave and wolves to tame (2 star wolves only at night).

[fossil delta]

Pretty low mtns can have wolves.

[opal prairie]

Yeah that needed to be in the next sentence.

[fossil delta]

I think the area matters most, for spawning generation. IE the more area, the more likely a spot for wolves to spawn will occur.

[buoyant ether]

so mountains are usually connected to blackforestS?

[paper marsh]

Mountains are usually in the middle of an island, and not out to the ocean. They can be connected to pretty much any biome though

Anyone try bringing tar blobs to Ashlands?

[ember panther]

How would you even do that... and why

[paper marsh]

How is a good question. Still working on that. Sailing would probably be possible, but insanely difficult. I'm thinking catapult might be easier, but one wouldn't shoot it far enough I pressume so you'd need a system of them

Why: I was thinking to make Ashlands enemies weak to fire, to light them up with fracture staff. But upon further consideration I imagine that Ashlands enemies and growths are allied

Bringing a 2 star ice dvergr tho, that would be nice stuff

[shy marlin]

They'd just run into the lava lakes like the ashlands dvergr

[buoyant ether]

so going towards the big tree will u reach big tree ?

[nocturne wolf]

No, it doesn't touch the world

[buoyant ether]

if i make a troll cave into a lil base the trolls wont respawn here?

sadge cant

ffs still 0 mountains, but found mistlands

[vocal rivet]

No, there's very little you can build in dungeons, deliberately.

[buoyant ether]

and im supposed to dodge golem attacks ? q_q

[thin elbow]

hiii

is this game worth playing solo or is it too grindy ?

[signal orbit]

I find it fun playing either solo OR with a group. I tend to prefer being solo where I can build and be creative without worrying about other's opinions or preferences, but its nice to group up and do bosses or hard zones together.

[buoyant ether]

u can tweak settings so that its very little grind for a solo run

i was wondering the same thing and when i started i put the building cost off and upped the loot multipliers and i been having fun

[merry pebble]

i prefer to play solo but as Korodin said its fun both ways 🙂 and you dont have to worry about grinding too much since there are always world modifiers that can help you

[thin elbow]

oh ok ok thank you ill try the modifiers then

[merry light]

Is there anyone who wants to play? We are currently two players and will start for long term

[shut knot]

Hello

[merry light]

Helo

[shut knot]

@merry light yes

is it moded?

[merry light]

Add me bro

[ornate sigil]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510
Is a good place to ask around.

[merry light]

No but we can modded

[merry light]

Oh okay. I didn’t know sorry

[ornate sigil]

No worries.

[paper marsh]

Or imprison it in your base or a little outpost for base defense / to let out to handle a single tough target

[paper marsh]

If you wanna fight them yea. Can also just run away from them, they slow

Also when are we getting a Valheim battlepass with fortnite skins?

[vocal rivet]

Ugh.

[paper marsh]

.hgU

[azure yacht]

When it becomes free to play

||(Never)||

[warm sandal]

you might considering trying it out on normal first without any modifiers. Maybe you won't find it to grindy and if you do you can always turn them on later. But i would recommend give the game a chance on the mode it is meant to be played by default first.

I have never used modifiers to make it easier 😄 only to make it harder 😛 It is personal taste and you should do what makes you happy, but just try it on normal mode first?

[paper marsh]

From experience, I would not recommend playing with all the hardest and grindiest modifiers at the same time

It's fun for a bit, but gets boring quick

[thin elbow]

idk i already played for a lil bit and made a small house and it took soo much tree farming

i don't mind a challenge i just don't like grindy stuff too much

[warm sandal]

well... you do you 😄 no one is to say how you should play your game. I never found it to grindy in all the 2000h playing (and streaming it and makeing youtube videos for it) but well... I won't judge you if you wanted a more relaxed approach 😄

[torn lake]

Hey. I am looking for players to play with. This is my first ever run and I have progressed to the Silver age (defeated bone mass). Solo play lacks stimulation for me and gets boring after a while. I would like for people to join my world or invite me to theirs if they too are at the Silver age. DM me if you are interested.

[paper marsh]

I will say, I've been enjoying 1.5x resource rate. Not much for teleporting metals though, and something like 3x resources feels like overkill

[warm sandal]

my boxes filled up so quickly and my inventory even more with 1.5x resource so i put it back to 1x LOL... i get so flooded with stuff if i make it higher 😄 but then i am the person to constantly pick up stuff as I go 😄

[wraith sun]

i haven't even dared touching that setting in fear of what you are describing 😅

[paper marsh]

I really love the world modifiers, but I also really like making my own challenges to give a more interesting experience

[fair goblet]

So, I've been practicing using a mage build in the mistlands. Haven't crafted a staff of frost yet, and a gjall just owned me.

Will I be able to take put gjall with the frost staff?

[paper marsh]

Definitely yea. But a bow or spear or crossbow would be faster, bc their egg area takes double damage from pierce

Frost staff will annhiliate seekers though, even more so if they decide to take a dip in the water that's all over mistlands before approaching you

[fair goblet]

K. I'll definitely make one.

It seems like the strength of a mage build is that they're versatile. You can easily switch damage types or use defensive staves

[minor pecan]

Was there an update today?

[smoky quarry]

a wooden submarine

[vapid hearth]

"I swear, I thought we had a spare extractor here somewhere"

[paper marsh]

Strength of mages is that they're way OP, especially in Mistlands

[smoky quarry]

it`s Magic!

🧙

[wraith sun]

you know 🎵

[tight yacht]

I wish there was more locational damage

Give me something to aim for...I shoot at things eyes just for fun at this point but I'd love to do extra damage with a bow somehow

[paper marsh]

Yea I like that trolls and Gjall and Seeker Soldiers have weak spots

[sly rampart]

Greetings, is there a nice Valheim server (good fps) with some mods

[paper marsh]

Likely many

You can check in #1024264966712340510

[fallen zephyr]

I'm with you. It's an inconsistent mechanic; either everyone has weak points, or nobody does, and their respective kill-difficulty is balanced accordingly. Don't set me up to expect that nobody has weak spots, then provide conflicting evidence, then make the mechanic arbitrary.

[young vale]

I will never understand and will not be able to understand the mechanics of controlling pets, here you need to know higher mathematics, or guess on Tarot cards in which direction he will run, I tamed him for 3 days so that he would be killed in 5 minutes, because he does not want to listen to commands.
I have a question: is it worth taming this pet or not?

[paper marsh]

Up to preference. I personally never really tame animals. Most people tame them for their drops, some tame wolves or ||askvin|| for combat and ||traversal||

Wolves listen well to commands from what I hear. Mostly worth it with 2 stars

[fallen zephyr]

I'm guessing you're talking about wolves?

[merry pebble]

well you cant really command any other animal so... 😄

[young vale]

Asksvin

[paper marsh]

so what?

[tight yacht]

Do you guys usually do creative mode or gather the resources?

[fallen zephyr]

Oh ok. My world broke with the update, so I'm still working towards Ashlands in the new one.

[paper marsh]

Never done creative mode

[strange plume]

does anyone else lag insanely bad in ashlands?

me and my duo are getting insane ping in ashlands when nothing else lags

he even died to a morgen even tho i parried

[analog flower]

yes

[paper marsh]

A lot of people been complaining about performance in Ashlands yea

[strange plume]

my fps also drops as low as 20 when its raining

[thin wagon]

how do i take a screenshot on pc?

[strange plume]

or whatever it is with all the debris and wind

[analog flower]

we made it better by changing the sendqueuesize values on both the server and clients

[strange plume]

i have no idea what that means

[tight yacht]

I find I'm way more invested in my builds and world of I actually gathered the resources

[analog flower]

google "Revisiting Fixing Valheim Lag" and go to jameschambers website he has a guide

[paper marsh]

same

[strange plume]

ty

[timid sun]

Imo it's almost entirely a waste of time to tame pretty much anything. They are all so fragile that they don't typically have much use in combat, require time to tame as well as time to build an enclosure for, and are mostly just annoying to deal with. The resources you obtain from them are also almost pointless as you could get more than you'd ever need from simple adventuring/farming.

The only things I'd say are worthwhile would be chickens.

[timid sun]

In all of my actual playthroughs I've gathered my resources. More recently though I use increased resource drop rates because quite frankly I've cut hundreds of thousands of trees already and I don't feel I get any benefit from doing much more so the increased rates make it a little better.

[paper marsh]

For me the only time I've found tames really useful is when playing on 0.5 resources no portals no map hardcore very hard, because food was a big issue

[buoyant ether]

i feel lacking with wolf armor chest and pants + troll hood and cape

any suggestions ?

[timid sun]

Lacking for what/where?

[paper marsh]

^

I personally like drake helm because it gives a lot of armor but no movement penalty, and then fenris (mountain cave light armor) chest and legs. Could do all wolf armor and drake helmet if you want to be tanky though

[finite lodge]

ive been using feather cape while in ashlands is that why im getting clapped?

[timid sun]

Nope
There really isn't a ton of enemies in the Ashlands that actually deal fire damage so the weakness to fire shouldn't be a huge issue. Additionally it's negated entirely by just drinking barley wine

That said I prefer the capes you unlock in the Ashlands to the feather cape there only because the terrain is mostly flat anyway so the effect of the feather cape isn't as useful.

[paper marsh]

Nah, feather cape good. Best for mage though. If you're going a melee ranger playstyle I'd prob do one of the ashlands capes

[buoyant ether]

mountains

[timid sun]

If you're rocking the silver armor you should already be overprepared for the mountains. If you'd fell better being tankier then I'd recommend upgrading from the troll hood to the drake helmet which you'll need drake trophies to unlock the recipe for.

Aside from that likely the issue you're having is just lack of experience against the enemies. You're tanky enough as is to just swang and bang on a group of wolves NP, drakes are hardly ever an issue so long as you can aim a bow, and golems just take a little bit of learning (and a mace preferably) to either dodge or parry their attacks.

[ember panther]

I expected the very weak to fire in ashlands to be a bigger issue than it is... only valkyries are an issue and the extra jump and reduced jump stamina usage is super useful for morgens

[buoyant ether]

i got wolf armor and troll

well yeah wolves like 3 shotted me, but i didnt have best foods on me

also what to do with obsidian ? i didnt get any recipes picking it up

[timid sun]

Obsidian unlocks a crafting bench upgrade but is mostly used for arrows. Frost arrows are pretty much still the best arrows in the game.

[tiny tiger]

Fire resistance barley makes the issue nonexistent too

[stiff yew]

Abyssal Spear to fish?

[paper marsh]

I wish

[merry pebble]

the harpoon is more for dragging mobs around, mostly tamed mobs because most of them dont have an option to follow you 🙂

[stiff yew]

Devs fix it

[paper marsh]

I mostly use it for untamed mobs 😅

Because although they follow me, they don't follow me to where I want them to go

[stiff yew]

Fishing Rod makes me want to delete myself

[paper marsh]

lucky for you fish aren't very useful

[stiff yew]

I like fish wraps

[paper marsh]

My last Plains base had an accidentally lucky location. Right by a coast with high waves, so I kept getting TONS of fish stranded on my lawn. Had like a wooden chest almost filled with raw fish. Don't think I ever had more than 1 or 2 stacks on other runs

And I never went fishing

[fossil delta]

Fishing is still pretty much the way it has always been in the Meadows, so you can still get plenty of fish, and with the different size ranges, you can get a heck of a lot once your skill and stamina foods are decent.

[paper marsh]

There is some seafood you can get with the harpoon

Serpents

[tiny tiger]

I am yet to actually fish in the game even after buying fishing rod and bait on two seperate runs

It’s worth it at plains tier for the fish wraps tho I believe?

[fossil delta]

The different sizes actually make the fishing feel challenging.

[paper marsh]

I'm not a big fan of the plains foods, but yea fish rolls are pretty good while in plains. Outside of that I don't really see fishing as useful

You can make a fishing hat which is pretty fun

[fossil delta]

Because if your skill and stamina are not high enough, your not hauling that huge sized fish in.

There is the Angler fish food for Mistlands, but thats the only other food use for fish.

[paper marsh]

I do like getting quality 4-5 fish for the wall though

[fossil delta]

I watched a video of a build to use to take advantage of that kind of situation, to maximize how many you catch that way.

If I find a spot, I am going to do it, because I do not like spending all that time fishing. I would much rather be exploring, or building.

[azure yacht]

TIL that you can level up pickaxe skill by mining something "too hard"

Like using bronze pickaxe for silver vein

[paper marsh]

anything special or just some angled roofs?

[fossil delta]

Angled roofs going out as far as you can get them to go, in an area with good spawning.

[buoyant ether]

founda frost cave 👀

[fossil delta]

Be careful. Tight quarters, just like all the other crypts/tombs.

Plus I believe that unlocks the bat event, for your bases.

[drowsy flint]

Is it black metal or blackmetal? 🧐

[timid sun]

I don't know what you're talking about man, it's just regular metal.

[nocturne wolf]

Regular metal atgeir my favourite weapon

[tiny tiger]

Heavy metal 🎸

[fossil delta]

It looks green to me, so when playing with friends, I call it green metal.

[buoyant ether]

got isntafucked 😭

[tiny tiger]

I believe the green is the infusion of goblin blood in the metal

[buoyant ether]

well, after i opened a door

[fossil delta]

Not surprised. You can run into pretty large mobs in those caves. Hint: AoE weapon.

[timid sun]

That's what I was thinking was going to happen, and I considered saying something, but ultimately I decided to wait and see 🙂

[fossil delta]

Oh, and the fire wine. If you know, you know.

[buoyant ether]

okay my gear might be gone.... theres now multiple werewolf type mf's and my gear is behind them.,......

[paper marsh]

2nd one I think

[buoyant ether]

well, 90% of it is

[paper marsh]

time to grab your backup gear and go reclaim it

[fossil delta]

What is your next best set of gear?

If I can do troll or bronze on the plains, you got to have something decent enough for this situation.

[nocturne wolf]

I usually eat 3 stamina foods and run there with nothing

[paper marsh]

Might be rough depending on how far the portal is from the frost cave. Freezing is tough

[median bone]

hey everyone, I just finished the plains and have moved on to mistlands. boy its a jump, but the plains left me feeling like that biome was almost unfinished? such as the lack of an armor set made of black metal, or a bow for that section of the game. not sure if I missed something or if thats just how it is, but I was curious of other people's thoughts on the plains. felt underwhelmed

[timid sun]

Did you get the padded armor?

[median bone]

I did, yes, I thought it was odd it used Iron

[nocturne wolf]

Plains would be better with a second armor set but it doesn’t need a bow and every other biome has one

[paper marsh]

Some people find Plains underwhelming for not having a dungeon or light armor, but I wouldn't say it's too bad. Also keep in mind gaps in progression (such as a missing bow) is normal

Mistlands feels very content rich though

[timid sun]

Nah yeah, padded is the set for Plains. Black metal mainly used for weapons/tools

[median bone]

the mistlands is so intimidating compared to plains

I still get wrecked by 2 star fulings though haga

[fossil delta]

It is what it is. It served as a kind of place holder for a long time. So they might tweak it down the road, but so far it sounds like you got everything.

[timid sun]

The point in which Valheim switches from being a survival adventure game to a survival horror game ;P

[fossil delta]

Thats... a good way to look at it.

[median bone]

My hope is that they go back through the game and fill in some gaps, not exactly necessary, but it would nice to have more gear to hunt for and displau

[paper marsh]

Mistlands is a bit overwhelming at first because its a new biome you're going into. The unknown is always scary, and getting used to listening instead of seeing takes some time.

Once you get used to it though it's really not that bad. I'd say swamp is worse

[median bone]

god yes listening instead of seeing is so real

the gjalls are my worst nightmare

[fossil delta]

Now I actually find the Mistlands beautiful.

[paper marsh]

Root chest is pretty good in mistlands too. A lot of pierce enemies

[median bone]

the armor and huge skeletons are amazing

[timid sun]

I completely agree. After getting the full 3 course meal that is Mistlands it makes the rest of the biomes feel lacking. I actually kind of want them to delay the Deep North update and focus on filling in the rest of the game to make the other biomes feel as full as Mistlands does.

But that's just me.

[fossil delta]

Very true. Plus most of them are resistant to all weapon damage types.

[median bone]

deep north? is there one more biome after ashlands?

[fossil delta]

You just said it, the north.

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but it’s not released yet

[median bone]

wooooooo! tameable dragon pwease

[paper marsh]

Heh I'd doubt it. But not impossible, it just won't be rideable

[fossil delta]

If they could pull off a flying mount towards the end, that would be awesome.

[timid sun]

Actually I hope they just don't add anymore tameable mobs in the deep north... I think it'd be a waste of developer time xD

[nocturne wolf]

I’d rather have tameable necks but that’s not happening

[median bone]

a flying mount as the final challenge would be awesome for filling out the map, scouting for build locations, etc

[nocturne wolf]

If the final boss drops neck food that would be perfect.

[paper marsh]

I know Smiffe said no flying mounts though

[buoyant ether]

im starting to develop a lovehate relationship to this game

[median bone]

me and my friend have captured at least 3 2 star necks and we are devastated every time we logon to their corpses

[timid sun]

Final boss is Corey Taylor

[median bone]

its painful, but some people enjoy pain >:)

[timid sun]

Chains and whips may or may not excite me.

[buoyant ether]

its diff kind of pain vs souls games 😭

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but Unity is improving, and they do upgrade to the newer versions. So maybe it will become doable. I'll keep hoping, anyways.

[median bone]

tbh I think valhiem is harder than dark souls, and thats coming from someone with a solaire tattoo

[nocturne wolf]

It’s doable but wouldn’t fit in valheim well. It would make most combat ignorable.

[paper marsh]

Oh, I highly doubt it's an engine issue

[tiny tiger]

Finally made a canal on my plains continent

[buoyant ether]

fuck this ima console spawn my wpns back

[fossil delta]

If its only obtainable at the end of the game play, whats it going to ruin?

[buoyant ether]

i agree

[tiny tiger]

Safe to say it needs to be wider and deeper, I lost 25% of my boat health going through it

[median bone]

nooooo, my favorite part of the game is naked running like a maniac back to my death

[nocturne wolf]

It would make the hardest biome the easiest one to avoid fighting in

[buoyant ether]

yeah but i have no way to defend myself against multiple firespewing hard hitting opponents 😭

[fossil delta]

So no fire wine?

[median bone]

you should be pretty kitted out at the end of the game I would assume, combat would become somewhat trivial anyways

[timid sun]

Honestly play how you want. If you feel the need to spawn your stuff back then go for it. But we're all going to judge you 😉

[buoyant ether]

i feel it already 😭

[paper marsh]

Eh doesn't feel like that changes much. Like even at the end of the game I wouldn't want to be able to unlock a weapon that oneshots bosses from across the map, doesn't matter I've completed most the game already

[paper marsh]

Possibly but hopefully not

I really hope Deep North has some interesting challenges, I'm finding Ashlands lacking

[median bone]

to each their own, I like becoming super powerful at the end of a tough game, but I do get what you mean

[buoyant ether]

are berzerker axes good ?

[paper marsh]

Yea, highest dps melee weapon in Ashlands

[fossil delta]

We already get super powerful. We just go to the "lower" biomes to see how much easier they now are. Destroying abominations and trolls in seconds, for example.

[buoyant ether]

oh those are endgame wpns

yeah i dont wanna break my game q_q

[fossil delta]

You can destroy abominations and trolls in seconds with silver weapons.

[brittle geyser]

Abominations die fast with Ember 🙂

[timid sun]

I like that the way you approach Mistlands and Ashlands feels different from the rest of the biomes in the game and I hope they continue that with making the Deep North actually feel different. Like rather than doing hordes of enemies (like Ashlands) I'd like to see fewer enemies but they are all like Morgen/Valk difficutly and the terrain might be tough to manage. Like fighting on ice that makes your character slide around and such, and other environmental issues you might have to look out for.

[paper marsh]

Using mistlands gear in Mistlands feels like you're using gear from 1-2 biomes ahead lmao

[nocturne wolf]

Bronze atgeir kills trolls fast

[night oyster]

i just swing my staff once, and i run myself, that new thing you can summon is DAAANG.. yeah, tryied it inside my fortress.. RIP xD

[fossil delta]

The atgeirs scale differently, just like the big hammers do. So yeah, the bronze is pretty effective.

[paper marsh]

Should have a tooltip saying: Caution Advised

[night oyster]

Word xD

[paper marsh]

I would love it so much if the OP weapons got balanced out, and upgrades got more consistent

[fossil delta]

Speaking of which, I finally have the elite trophy. So I can now make the iron sledge.

[hidden glacier]

does anyone here wanna level weapons together

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510 is the channel for finding groups.

[buoyant ether]

ngl at this point playing with others might ease my suffering

[hidden glacier]

but the channel is so overwhelming 😦

okay,,

[fossil delta]

IT can. But there are often reckless players who get you in even worse trouble.

[timid sun]

I'm typically not opposed to helping teach people the ways of being a Valheim legend but a mic is a must

[paper marsh]

Multiplayer does tend to be a lot easier (depending on the skill of your teamate compared to you)

[fossil delta]

Read the pins. Hopefully it will make it a bit easier with that info.

[night oyster]

alot more fun to play with a team tho 😄

hi btw ^^

[fossil delta]

Huh, they didn't put the pins back up after the hack.

[paper marsh]

Most fun playing with a team with friendly fire on 😈

[fossil delta]

That would be confusing/overwhelming.

[night oyster]

there would be no base left 👻

[fossil delta]

Its great for training up skills.

[night oyster]

parrying kinda thing?

[fossil delta]

Combat skills. Fight each other. Level up all your weapons skills, block skill, whatever else I may not be thinking of.

[buoyant ether]

i feel like i might have multiple playthroughs in my future... i dread the thought

[night oyster]

didnt really think on that one 😛 then again, am mage in my crew.. 😛

[fossil delta]

I have 4,300 hours of play throughs, zero regrets. Tons of fun.

[buoyant ether]

holy hell

[night oyster]

am around 1000 now 😛

[buoyant ether]

doesnt it get stale after that much ?

[paper marsh]

If you put friendly fire on and they don't, you get skills from hitting them and they don't take damage

[buoyant ether]

i love elden but 4 playthrus is alrdy making the game stale

[night oyster]

woow 😄 haha, you learn somthing new every day

[fossil delta]

No. The world is different enough every time, plus I mix it up between solo, 2,000+ hours with my wife, and at least a thousand hours with others.

[night oyster]

Thnx ❤️

[uneven panther]

Hello, I installed the Valheim mods with Vortex, but the mods are not activated when I enter the game.

[buoyant ether]

maaan i want a gamer wife as well, what a dream

[fossil delta]

There is a channel for that. #mods-issues

[timid sun]

I'm at around 1,700 hours myself. I certainly cannot play it as aggressively as I used to without getting a little burnt on it these days x)

[buoyant ether]

getting that best in slot

[timid sun]

But what drives me the most is finding servers with random people and just helping new players and seeing how other more experienced players play. Also nice to see how everyone builds 😄

[fossil delta]

I just recently came back from a 15 month break myself.

I used to run servers as well.

Play on others.

[timid sun]

Yeah I started the day the game officially launched and I did a few playthroughs then, came back for the Hearth And Home update and did a few more servers, then I did several more servers for Mistlands, and currently still hanging around for Ashlands

[paper marsh]

I like making challenges for myself, trying to invent unconventional ways of doing things, and doing some fun biome skipping to keep things interesting

It's crazy you can skip to mistlands and get weapons once you get meadows gear

[fossil delta]

My last 100 hours has been with my wife and I doing a new play through to get to the Ashlands. We have gotten to the Mistlands now.

[timid sun]

After my Mistlands playthroughs were done I did about 1,300 hours of Sea of Thieves 🫠

[fossil delta]

Still have to beat Yag, but we have two of his altars, so whenever we decide we are "ready". Need to do some base prep for the new events.

[timid sun]

Reminds me, not sure what happened but one of the servers I played on when we summoned Yag we got 2 of them. Only time I ever saw that happen and I still don't know why 😄 was a vanilla server I'm pretty sure

[paper marsh]

Can happen if you have two people clicking the summon button at the same time

[timid sun]

Everyone I was playing with died and I had to Han Solo them bad boiz

[fossil delta]

You may have been on one of my servers. One of the players wanted to find out if we could summon 2 at the same time, so he put another 5 on and summoned him.

So yeah, you can summon multiples of him if you have the totems.

I already knew that you could do that with bosses because my wife and I accidentally summoned two Eikthyrs. Which was my fault, I did not catch that she had the trophies too, and I didn't say I had them too. 😄 😄 That was a long, fun, fight.

[night oyster]

what i love the most with valheim, is the mood.. like the music, and the lights.. nothing like coming home from a long day, trow the kids to bed, and log on 😄

[paper marsh]

And then there's Scales who summons 8 queens to fight at the same time for the heck of it

[fossil delta]

I'm old, so I don't have to do the kids part anymore.

[timid sun]

I absolutely love it when I build my first small wooden shack house and I get a thunderstorm. Just vibing in the shack while it rains is nice ❤️

[night oyster]

explains the 4800 hours mate xD

[fossil delta]

Plus only my wife works. I was able o retire.

[fossil delta]

4,300, but yes, it does.

[night oyster]

mb mb ^^ i bet if i count my days of WoW aswell, i would be way over soo 😛

[timid sun]

I turned 30 today, I'm still a long ways away from freedom

[night oyster]

Congrats man 🙂

[thin elbow]

how to know if i'm ready for the first boss ?

[burnt glen]

What does your gear and weapons look like?

[paper marsh]

Try, if you fail you're not ready if you succeed you're ready

(But yea we can advise if you tell us whatchu got)

[thin elbow]

i have level 3 flint spear level 2 small shield and full leather armor

[fossil delta]

You can win with that. Is combat easy for you?

[thin elbow]

havent encountered any tough animals yet so yeah

[fossil delta]

So no greydwarves?

[frozen fable]

Make the sacrifice at the Eikthyr altar and try it

[timid sun]

Let me join so I can watch 😄

[frozen fable]

Only way to find out for sure if you are ready

[thin elbow]

they're very easy

[burnt glen]

You'll be fine, go for it!

[fossil delta]

You probably are, especially if your good at using your shield and rolling.

[thin elbow]

ok ill try

thank you

[timid sun]

Make sure to let us know how it goes!
Though I prefer to watch.

[fossil delta]

They'll be fine and kicking troll butt in no time.

[thin elbow]

how can i let watch

[timid sun]

I was kidding but you'd just have to open up your server so that I could join in

[paper marsh]

Or stream on discord

[fossil delta]

You can stream in the voice channels. If you see them.

[burnt glen]

It's Eikythr, it's not that crazy if you've fought him already.

[thin elbow]

ohh i don't have discord on my pc i only use pc for games and everything else my laptop

what items do i need to offer for the boss ?

demanding items before getting killed is kinda crazy

[timid sun]

2 deer trophy I believe

[fossil delta]

I thinki ts 2 or 3 deer trophies. It will only take what is needed.

So offer 5.

[thin elbow]

it worked with 1

[azure yacht]

Check your inventory, see if you had more trophies

It apparently takes away from inventory in general and not just from the ones placed in hotbar

[burnt glen]

ikr 😂

[azure yacht]

I put two trophies in my hotbar while having five others in another inventory slot, when offering it consumed the ones in the inventory, not the ones in the hotbar

Seems like a glitch, tho not an important one

[timid sun]

I'm awaiting the good news!

[fossil delta]

It has to take only from my hot bar, they are the only ones I ever take.

[thin elbow]

i killed him

it was a lot easier than expected

[fossil delta]

That was pretty quick!

[timid sun]

1 heavy metal deer down! 😄

[thin elbow]

he looked very intimidating at first but i realized he weak

[nocturne wolf]

The next bosses are much stronger

[thin elbow]

theres more deer bosses ?

[timid sun]

Oh no, just him 😄

[thin elbow]

the raven says my next target is in the black forest

lets gooo

[fossil delta]

You can summon bosses as often as you want. Plus have the needed items for doing it.

[thin elbow]

is it smart to leave my house behind and go far with raft ?

[fossil delta]

Lets just say when you die, you have to get back to where you died to recover your stuff.

[hidden gorge]

your house will be fine, rafts however, are not meant for long distances

[thin elbow]

oh but how will i find black forest

how to unlock big boat

[fossil delta]

You have ran all over your island?

[hidden gorge]

usually you can find them on the starting island

[thin elbow]

ohh ok ill walk more far then

i only walked to eikthyr and to my house

[fossil delta]

Then you have a lot to explore. IF you got a good seed your home island can have the first 5 biomes on it.

[thin elbow]

how many biomes are there in total

[fossil delta]

9, once finished. 8 right now.

[thin elbow]

oh ok

[fossil delta]

Ocean is one biome, and not a lot to it, but you still have to be careful.

Like a raft can sink very easily in the ocean, for reasons.

[thin elbow]

oh okay i wont go on sea until i have big boat then

[fossil delta]

The forest will give you what you need for the first boat.

Just be sure to always make nails, when its in your menu.

[frigid gust]

Rafts are emergency transport, just in case you need to cross a smaller gap because your world generated without all the resources you need at the initial island.

[thin elbow]

why is there one part of the sea already showing on the map when i haven't been that far

[timid sun]

Probably when you spawned in on the bird

[thin elbow]

there's one weird grey circle on the map

skeletons are so scary one just attacked me he was stronger than the deer boss

[paper marsh]

When you first spawn in, a valkyrie flies you to the stones of power. If you skip the intro, you just spawn at the stones of power but still have a bit of map revealed from where you would have flown in from

[thin elbow]

ah yeah i skipped it

[fossil delta]

In some situations, the ocean can be very close to shore. I've seen a couple where it came right up to land. Then when your sailing, it will tell you that your in the plains, BF, or other areas, when your clearly still far out on water. Just an oddity of this game.

[thin elbow]

ohh ok

i found black forest

[fossil delta]

Which can sometimes be really cool oddities, such as a flame shooting up out of the water, and you hear the screams of the dying down below.

[shrewd fractal]

Ashlands are going to make me quit this game.

Just kills any enjoyment from the game, nothing like any other biome.

[thin elbow]

greyjoy brutes are so strong 😭

[fossil delta]

The new biome is the toughest during the first few weeks of release. Not only is it new to us, but they still tweak the power of the creatures.

[timid sun]

I'm glad that it isn't. And I'm glad that it was a challenge, and I'm also glad that I have a strong desire to overcome tough obstacles 😄

[thin elbow]

i see some big ass troll or something

[fossil delta]

Big blue.

[timid sun]

Those are husband material for sure

[thin elbow]

how strong are they

[timid sun]

Stronger than brutes 🙂

[thin elbow]

yes

[fossil delta]

The real fun begins.

[thin elbow]

he's running after me how do i enable y eikthyr power

[timid sun]

F

[thin elbow]

okay thank you im so scared

[fossil delta]

Good. Thats why its fun.

[shrewd fractal]

Good for you. I have a strong desire to have fun.

This ain't it.

[timid sun]

Good luck on your next game!

[thin elbow]

how to get like iron gear or something im way too weak for black forest

[fossil delta]

Um, iron biome is even worse.

[timid sun]

What gear do you have currently? Including your weapon

[thin elbow]

i have leather gear and flint spear

[timid sun]

Have you upgraded those at all?

[plush umbra]

Is valheim like minecraft in the sense that if I stay out of deep north on my world, and away from it, it will spawn normally when the update is released?

[fossil delta]

lvl 3 on the spear.

[thin elbow]

yes level 3 spear and level 2 gear

[fossil delta]

Yes. Any you visit will not spawn within a certain distance.

[frail wagon]

i played some mistlands yesterday uh...

this biome isnt very fun

[timid sun]

So long as you have a shield and are eating appropriate food then you're pretty much set for beginning in the black forest

[woeful yacht]

Yay, a fellow spear enthusiast

[timid sun]

Join the guy who just said Ashlands isn't fun

[fossil delta]

Definitely hard to get used to.

[thin elbow]

is spear or axe better

[frail wagon]

the main reason i didnt like the moutins was because of the fact theres alot of steep land

[woeful yacht]

Probably axe (because you'll want to carry an axe most of the time anyways)

[plush umbra]

spears for life

[timid sun]

Spear is my goto for early game

[fossil delta]

IT varies. Clubs are going to be the most useful for a while.

[plush umbra]

and tower shields

[frail wagon]

mistlands is like that expect its MORE steep the flying enemy is MORE deadly and there is mist so i cant even see where im goin

[shrewd fractal]

Mistlands is where this game started going downhill.

The tryhards in here will just call you casual, or bad, or whatever they can think up as an excuse for anything other than the devs took an unprecidented turn towards causing players misery and frustration to extend gameplay without adding depth, and it gets WAY worse in the Ashlands.

But we're the problem.

[woeful yacht]

Spear + buckler is my favorite combo though

[fossil delta]

But all are best against certain things.

[drifting socket]

how can i enable debugmode and noclip?

[timid sun]

The game is designed around being punishing and increasingly difficult. If you dislike that then it's simply not the type of game for you.

[frail wagon]

if you ask me the bosses have been a slow decline
Eikthyr:Great
Eldar:Great
Bonemass:Great
moder... Meh
Yagluth Activly unfun

[thin elbow]

what am i supposed to be doing in the black forest ?

[fossil delta]

There is an explanation for that in the pins of the #valheim-help channel.

[frail wagon]

Get copper
Surtling cores
and tin

[kindred urchin]

Man, those Dvergr dungeon structures make perfect little bases.

[timid sun]

I like Yag but Moder has a lot of issues... Great in design poor in execution

[idle moon]

Maybe I'm crazy but Yagluth is one of my favorite boss fights

[drifting socket]

there isnt

[frail wagon]

yag was very annoying for me because that attack spam gose crazy.

[frail wagon]

also me and my brother who i was playing with got raided by quite a few fuelings and blobs

[kindred urchin]

there is, the console commands video.

[fossil delta]

How to enable console commands didn't cover it?

[timid sun]

Nah, Yagluth still has my favorite visual design for a boss, as with all bosses the soundtrack is fire, and the fight is more or less on par with how engaging other boss fights in the game are.

[frail wagon]

i didnt even pay any focus to his st because i had to focus on not getting metor'd into oblivion

[kindred urchin]

Yagluth was fine as far as bosses are concerned. Mine just happened to spawn near 3 tar pits, so that...complicated things

[timid sun]

Ah yeah, I'd clear those out before starting the fight

[frail wagon]

i dont dislike moder i just thought she was like a 5/10 bossfight

[timid sun]

Moder has a lot of issues with her general AI and pathing. She is broken more than functioning properly and it detracts from the fight I think

[fossil delta]

She glitched badly for a long time. She was much better this last time I fought her.

[burnt glen]

Had the most intense battle with Eikythr
#memes-and-clips message

[frail wagon]

yeah im just trying to find an infested mine rn so i can start getting magic going

[timid sun]

Those mines can be absolutely wild sometimes, good fun 😄

[frail wagon]

so far not a fan of mistlands

[vapid hearth]

I have to know, are the high density spawners what make the ashlands a constant warzone or will destroying them still leave it a warzone?

[fossil delta]

They can be hard to find, then have zero cores. At least the last time I played, over 15 months ago. Maybe they have adjusted the RNG since then.

[crystal hatch]

Any good mounts mod that dont require to PAY to work on host PC server?

[thin elbow]

i killed the troll 🥳

[shrewd fractal]

I've destroyed every spawner within miles. Still having mobs randomly appearing behind me without a trace or warning and crit-dead.

And at night they climb out of the floor en-masse regardless.

[timid sun]

I think it was a much needed change of pace for the game. It feels different from playing anything else up to that point, it is a nice jump in difficulty (until you get used to it then it's just as easy as everything else), and it has some of the best unlocks as far as gear goes (imo)

[frail wagon]

eh i run 2X resource's anyway

[timid sun]

The number of enemies in Ashlands will always be higher than anywhere else but destroying any nearby spawners makes it MUCH more manageable

[fossil delta]

Anti spawning items don't work?

[ornate sigil]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might be a better place to ask.

[shrewd fractal]

Not tested extensively, but spamming my base with campfires seemed to do nothing.

The ashlands mobs seem to have a rather large aggro range too compared to other biomes?

[timid sun]

I'm uncertain but it does seem like they have a larger aggro radius

[grand goblet]

hello 🙂
someone need some help on there server?
can help out with alot of stuff, only completed up to mistlands, but my friends dont play anymore and our server was deleted few mounth ago and i dont want to start a new one.

best regards

[fossil delta]

Hmmmm.... maybe they want us to stay in those citadels? Use them as the basis of our homes there? I am only just getting into the Mistlands in my new play through, so have not made it there yet.

[shrewd fractal]

Any destructible environment is not a viable building spot in the ashlands in my experience thusfar.

Oh and you'll need to permanently feed a shield generator.

[ornate sigil]

If you are looking to form a new server or join an existing one, try asking here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[grand goblet]

thx

[timid sun]

The citadels he's talking about are indestructable to enemies

[vapid hearth]

Well shit, that sounds about right

[fossil delta]

Yeah, those.

I heard you can even dig out under the central tower and it will float.

[timid sun]

In my first playthrough of the Ashlands I did my base out in the water just off the shoreline. This was the best way I could find to effectively reduce the amount of enemy difficulties.

[timid sun]

I believe this was patched

[fossil delta]

I hope not, I have ideas.

[chrome spindle]

Can you use up your Summoned Troll? Because it was there and then it wasn't. So either I dropped it (somehow??) or it has a limited number of uses?

[ornate sigil]

I believe all summons are on a timer.
I misread that.

[fossil delta]

I would ASSUME you have to resummon it like the skeletons, but I do not know.

[timid sun]

The troll is terrifying honestly xD

[paper marsh]

||Are you talking about the troll, or the staff that summons it?||

[chrome spindle]

Let me clarify (about the summoned troll) the icon to choose it in your inventory was there, I summoned it again and then the icon disappeared, indicating I no longer have it to summon

[fossil delta]

Oh, if they lost the item, thats odd.

[chrome spindle]

The staff that summons it

[paper marsh]

Can't use it up no. Just a regular staff that you can use as many times as you want, just gotta repair it once in a while

[fossil delta]

A consumable staff? That would suck.

[ornate sigil]

I know weapons have durability that you need to repair every so often or it becomes unusable, but it should stay in your inventory.

[frail wagon]

better be cheap as dirt or oneshot a boss if its one time use

[chrome spindle]

The only other explanation is that I must have dropped it somehow. Is there any other way to drop an item besides choosing it from the inventory?

[ornate sigil]

Ctrl+click will drop stuff.

[fossil delta]

Been years sine I heard of items just disappearing, but it has happened. I lost a whole frikkin iron set due to the glitch.

[timid sun]

Time to re-trace your steps ;P

[timid sun]

Items disappear for me all the time. When I'm drinking.

[fossil delta]

Sounds like it, Hope it doesn't despawn.

[fossil delta]

Then you know not to drink so much, so now its a choice.

[timid sun]

There's no choice, only dealing with my drunken mistakes the next morning!

[fossil delta]

I know my limits, and stay within them. Its a choice. Besides, I am old, so can wake up in a situation I do not want to be in. If you know, you know.

[timid sun]

I think I should do some work on early game build designs tonight. Want to upgrade my early hut game so I can flex on the next people I play in a server with

[fossil delta]

Building can be fun. I watched a video on a home set up I want to try.

Earlier today.

[shrewd fractal]

Kinda feeling like Ashlands is a magic or you die biome.

[fossil delta]

I need a lot more mats, though.

[timid sun]

I likely have somewhere around 500-600 hours of building in this game so far but I like to try to push myself to upgrade my designs every now and again

[fossil delta]

A fair number of people have said magic makes it much easier.

Which sucks, because I do not want to use the magic.

[shrewd fractal]

Spend hundreds of hours accruing weapons and skillsets.

Here's a new update, those are pointless now. Kthxbai

[fossil delta]

I'll endure. Maybe I will finally decide parry and rolling is justified.

[tiny tiger]

Okay I’ve officially reached the fun part of the plains

[loud valve]

Give us magic melee weapons. Problem solved

[timid sun]

I haven't used magic in the Ashlands yet, made it through with melee just fine. In-fact the people that I played with who did use magic ended up switching to melee because they kept dying while I steamrolling everything

[burnt glen]

It's definitely more fun with melee, and doable.

[tiny tiger]

Wouldn’t you consider frostner, himminafl magic melee weapons?

with the elemental damage being the magic aspect

[azure yacht]

Yes, I don't understand that statement

[loud valve]

No, because it doesn't shoot magic!

[fossil delta]

Good. I should have a similar experience. Like I have said, I do not parry or roll just to make the game hard for me.

[tiny tiger]

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not

[burnt glen]

what about frost arrows?

[shy marlin]

If it uses eitr = magic imo

[tiny tiger]

if it shoots magic it’s not really a melee weapon anymore

[loud valve]

That's just a cold stick

[azure yacht]

Melee weapons with magic that shoot projectiles are just staves 2

[fossil delta]

Or bows, crossbows, etc...

[shrewd fractal]

Parry one mob, get critted by the other 6.

Idk I'm pretty jaded right now, but I feel like block (which doesn't seem to register half the time in the ashlands) and parry just aren't as good as... running around instead.

[tiny tiger]

I like the idea of a melee weapon class of eitr weapons which use eitr to deal stronger attacks but once you run out of eitr still have a weaker attack

Enchanting the frostner, himminafl, dyrnwyrm with refined eitr to make the weapons have a new attack that uses eitr upon swing or special attack

[fossil delta]

Mistlands was like that. Its not anymore. So they probably still need to do tweaks. Part of why we did a new play through, to give the devs time to do the tweaks.

[timid sun]

I say let it be hard! Anyone who dislikes the difficulty of it can lower their settings 🙂

[fossil delta]

The counter to that, is if you want it to be harder, adjust the settings.

The default, though, should remain consistent.

[shrewd fractal]

Hard is fine. It also needs to be fun.

[timid sun]

But it's already harder. The devs would have to put in work to make it easier for us to do that xD just leave it and allow people to adjust their own experience from here

[tiny tiger]

I find the default balancing is in a good place atleast from meadows to plains I’ve not experienced enough mist or Ashland’s

[burnt glen]

The default should be difficult considering the nature of the biome and its placement in the overall progression of the game.

[timid sun]

Ashlands is for sure tough, but that seems to be on purpose. It is designed to be like a war

[tiny tiger]

Yeah and it makes sense with it being the penultimate biome

[fossil delta]

Yeah, there is a consistency to it. Maybe I just "feel" it more because I have over 4,000 hours of experience with it all.

[tiny tiger]

Yeah which means you have a baseline level of skill regardless of armor and weapon progression

But even with that the game has plenty of opportunities for you to challenge yourself on new playthroughs

[frail wagon]

i wanna get magic (im in mist rn)
but god it takes so long to find a mine

[fossil delta]

There is that too. But trust me, I died a LOT when I first started. Now I rarely die. Twice so far this time, and both because I was stupid.

[frail wagon]

and also i need a rancid remains trophy for the dead raiser

[shy marlin]

not anymore! just 3 reg skele trophies now

[frail wagon]

THEY CHANGED THE CRAFT POOL FOR IT?

[frail wagon]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[timid sun]

Yeah it can be a bit tough to find them sometimes, I'll agree on that. Fortunately you have increased resource rates because often times I've found that I had to do quite a few to get everything I needed

[shrewd fractal]

These game discords always attract some tryhard sweat that thinks everyone should be on their level and stop whining or just quit the game.

Meanwhile, a significant proportion of most games playerbases, including dark Souls, just wants to have a good time.

That's my opinion.

[shy marlin]

lmao ye that happened a while ago

[tiny tiger]

Is the rooted harnesk still worth using in mistlands?

[fossil delta]

Yes.

[shy marlin]

ye, helps out with seekers,ticks,broods, and the boss; just watch out for gjalls/carry a fire pot

[fossil delta]

A fair amount of pierce there.

[tiny tiger]

Will a gjall 1-2 shot tho?

[fossil delta]

Only hurts with the Gjall, or however its spelled.

[shy marlin]

fire wine is your friend

[timid sun]

Your idea of making the game easier detracts from my experience because I enjoy it being more challenging. So every time people whine and things get nerfed I lose.

So yeah, I'm going to get a little defensive about it xD

[fossil delta]

Not if your wearing only the chest piece.

[shrewd fractal]

the fire pain from Gjall's is outweighed by the protection from pierce massively.

[tiny tiger]

I see

Like rn I’m rocking about 78 defence with padded and root harnesk

[idle moon]

the root harness fire weakness is the same whether you are wearing 1 piece or 3 pieces
and if you're in the mistlands, you're probably wearing the feather cape which has an even greater fire weakness than the root stuff does anyway

[fossil delta]

Not if its only the chest piece, and you should still use the wine anyways, just to be safe. Plus, if your out at night and run into a 2 star, you get what you get.

[timid sun]

Yeah I main the harnesk in mistlands then keep the wines on me for whenever I hear gjall talking to me

[shrewd fractal]

I think people may have misunderstood my opinion.. that the extra fire damage taken is worth it for the extra pierce protection.

[shy marlin]

ohhh lmao ye

[fossil delta]

Yeah, misunderstood.

[shy marlin]

Think your sentence is kinda backwards tho, pierce resistance outweighs being weak to fire would make more sense to me idk

[fossil delta]

Well, its cleared up now.

[shy marlin]

like to me that sentence says pierce res > fire weak

[burnt glen]

Fenris speed >

[fossil delta]

My run is 80+. I don't "feel" it. Fast is fast.

[timid sun]

Ashlands stuff gets you zoomin and I love it

[shy marlin]

Can always be faster

[fossil delta]

I suppose, but I rather have armor for when I screw up.

[ornate sigil]

You only feel your run speed when it's new, like putting a ask cape on for the first time with the wind at your back....that's speedy.

[timid sun]

Or when you finish a playthrough with lvl 90 run then start over on a new character

[fossil delta]

I always feel like I am the Flash, I just doubt a slightly greater speed will really be noticable to me. I have seen them time it on you tube, it only makes like a second worth of difference over 100m.

I doubt I will perceive that.

[frail wagon]

What are all of the mist lands staffs and what are their crafting requirements?

[fossil delta]

Thats what the wiki is for.

[shrewd fractal]

Nope, Ashlands spawns are just broken.

Just had two Asks climb out of the ground behind me.

[frail wagon]

Man these all seem... pretty cheap

[fossil delta]

No idea. I won't look until I have gone there myself, and think I have it all figured out. Part of the fun for me.

[fossil delta]

Were you in your base?

[shrewd fractal]

no, just out and about

during the day

[frail wagon]

man was kinda hoping the wiki would have like... food type category's

[fossil delta]

OK. I only expect safety in my base.

[frail wagon]

or around it depending on if you a 'build walls around it' kinda guy

[timid sun]

It doesn't?

[frail wagon]

nvm im just an idiot

[fossil delta]

Try the food spreadsheet in the pin above. Scarlett always got it up to date ASAP before.

[shrewd fractal]

Mobs outside in Ashlands are definitely holding aggro/gaining aggro when in dungeons.

[frail wagon]

mage feels very good for support and combat

well.. like the only play style that CAN support

[fossil delta]

That magic bubble thing is sweet. Really liked it when it was cast when I played on servers.

[frail wagon]

i hope they add like

[fossil delta]

Definitely increased my survivability.

[frail wagon]

a healing staff with DN
or really any kind of new 'support' staff

[fossil delta]

I'd think healing from a staff would be a waste with all the meads.

[frail wagon]

yeah

still could use some more support staffs tho

i guess you could kinda count dead raiser as a support staff

[fossil delta]

I consider anything that helps you kill things as "support".

Those skellies were support, especially when they could summon more than one.

[frail wagon]

i mean the more

traditional support
sending in some skellie cannon fodder so your fellow viking can retreat and pop a healing mead safely

[fossil delta]

Is 3 still the max they can summon?

[merry pebble]

with all the upgrades you can summon 4 now, tho some stuff from ashlands is required 🙂

[fossil delta]

Ah, the lvl 4 stuff.

Par for the course. Mostly.

[paper marsh]

Definition of support prob also depends on what weapon you value most. Like in the mistlands with a buddy and you're ice staffing stuff? Ice staff is a main weapon

At your base with 20 ballistas and you're ice staffing a starred berserker to keep him still for the ballistas to annihilate him? Ice staff is a support staff

[frail wagon]

i will probaby get all 4 mist lands staffs

mainly because i play on 2X

[paper marsh]

Nice, they're all very good, 2 of them very OP

[frail wagon]

im gonna guess its protec and ice

[paper marsh]

Protecc and fire

[frail wagon]

he protecc he atak but most importantly he get oneshot by seeker soldier

[paper marsh]

Ice is very powerful too, but tbh all mistlands gear feels somewhat OP. Fire and protecc are the ones that are rly rly OP tho

[shrewd fractal]

Did they break flax? it's not harvestable?

[paper marsh]

Flax is fine

[frail wagon]

The look i give to the fueling before burning his house down with the fire staff :

[paper marsh]

Farmed a bunch yesterday, can't say if todays update ruined it

[shrewd fractal]

Mines fully grown, can't collect with E.. doesn't spawn resources when attacked

[paper marsh]

Try and log in and out and try again?

[frail wagon]

he IS called a FUELING

[paper marsh]

I really want to play around more with using tar and water to enable fire/ice staves

[frail wagon]

WAIT WAIT

THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA
T A R S T A F F

[shrewd fractal]

nope, still bugged.

[frail wagon]

well

hit it with a weapon

[shrewd fractal]

Did. no drop

[frail wagon]

prehaps.... its not fully grown

when you hold your mouse over it dose it show an 'e to pick up' prompt?

[ornate sigil]

So you can tar and feather your enemies?

[frail wagon]

yeah. imagne it would kinda act like the fire staff being AOE

[shrewd fractal]

Literally already said this.. No it does not show an E.

Yes, it's fully grown.

[frail wagon]

if it dose not show an E it ISNT fully grown

mabye give it like another 10 minutes

[shrewd fractal]

Mate. it was planted about 6 MONTHS ago, real time.

It's grown.

[tiny tiger]

what did you plant

[frail wagon]

flax

[tiny tiger]

is it wheat coloured or does it have flowers

[shrewd fractal]

Flowers. I. am. not. a. moron.

[tiny tiger]

if it has flowers its not fully grown

[frail wagon]

if it has flowers. not grown

[shrewd fractal]

It has been planted. for. 6. months.

Ergo, it should be.

I swear. reading ain't this hard.

[frail wagon]

plants only grown with in game time'

[shrewd fractal]

Oh. My. God.

[ornate sigil]

To quote the wiki "It takes between 4000s and 5000s (between 66m40s and 83m20s, or about 2.22-2.78 in-game days) for it to fully grow."

Keep in mind, the game has to be active.

If it's paused, the crops won't grow.

[outer vortex]

Do you have to be in the same area?

[shrewd fractal]

Yeah, you know what, you're right. I have 1000 hours in this game and haven't been logged in for 5000s.

I forgot seconds were longer than hours. My bad.

Jesus. Take. The. Wheel.

[burnt glen]

I wonder what's next for Magic. They have the 4 elemental damages covered, and I don't anticipate a staff that'll primarily do spirit damage.

[outer vortex]

So.... were you asking for help in figuring this out, or you just came here to vent?

[ornate sigil]

Just trying to troubleshoot, sorry.

[shrewd fractal]

I came to ask if it was bugged.

Now I am being bugged.

[burnt glen]

Check around in public test or one of the bugs discussion channel.

[ornate sigil]

You could try a different world seed and see if it has the same results or use cheats/devcommands to grow a new section of crop quickly.

It could be a bug much like the inverted build rotate issue.

[stuck crypt]

first time i made the new boat, is there anything special about it? Apart from it being massive

[idle moon]

it doesn't boil

[stuck crypt]

boil?

[idle moon]

somehow yes, boil

[frail wagon]

ashlands water HOT

[stuck crypt]

oh lol

[frail wagon]

special bot = no hot

[sage portal]

Hi I'm new, how are you guys doing I'm literally downloading this game right now

[shrewd fractal]

It doesn't like turning. In an area where turning is really important.

But yeah basically, it's just a specific boat to access the new biome. Then, it's kinda pointless.

[stuck crypt]

well... it can't be worse than mistlands. I can finally see something again! Right...?

[shrewd fractal]

Ahah... ahahahahah

[frail wagon]

im doing great welcome to the game and server man

[stuck crypt]

@shrewd fractal oh no 😦

[sage portal]

Do you recommend playing solo gameplay first and then later on join a server for multiplayer gameplay?

[ornate sigil]

Good to have you along for the viking ride👍. Just so you know, the ashlands update was huge and may make your system think it crashed while downloading it.

[burnt glen]

Mistlands is amazing

[stuck crypt]

I'm playing on highest difficulty and my god what a journey it's been to get here. Can't ever parry ANYTHING cause it just oneshots me through my shield with the best armor available each time

[frail wagon]

i DO NOT agree

[sage portal]

I'm playing on macbook seems fine now! 🙂

[frail wagon]

i like this thing called 'vision'

[burnt glen]

I will defend it with my dying breath.

[burnt glen]

ever heard of a wisplight?

[frail wagon]

and mistlands DOSENT really like that

[frail wagon]

oh boy i can see THREE feet infront of me instead of ZERO feet

[burnt glen]

Almost like you have other senses such as HEARING

[ornate sigil]

Definitely solo first. It gives you an idea what the game is supposed to be like and you lean the basics much more than when you are in a group.

[stuck crypt]

hah yeah :p, i honestly liked mistlands, but it gets annoying once you have to grind the soft tissue... finding those skulls is annoying if you can't see crap

[sage portal]

Thank you so much, I hope I will like the game! I will come back later here for questions, thank you seems like a nice community! 🙂

[stuck crypt]

Normally i upgrade my gear to max, but i just couldn't in mistlands cause you're always starved HARD on soft tissue

[frail wagon]

as a 2x player cant relate

[stuck crypt]

2x?

[frail wagon]

2X resource rate

[burnt glen]

Ever had a G'jall poke its nasty head out of the mist and almost shit yourself?

[frail wagon]

uh yeah actually

[burnt glen]

What other biome can top that experience?

[ornate sigil]

There are many chat channels here, so don't be afraid to look around and read the pinned messages for guidance along with the rules if you haven't already.

[frail wagon]

probably the ocean in early game or black forest in early game

[burnt glen]

Black Forest goated but how you came to Ocean is beyond my comprehension.

[frail wagon]

the brand new player on his raft after seeing a sea beast rip their boat and then them to shreds:

(Serpent)

[burnt glen]

I comprehend now

But yeah Mistlands and BF are S-tier

[stuck crypt]

Something i miss in this game is some more ocean content. Sailing is fun at the start, but becomes boring fast as nothing really happens at sea. The serpent looks cool, but it's super weak very quickly

Maybe some kraken thing that roots your boat in place and you have to fight it?

Getting attacked by a flock of seagulls? Who knows lol

[ornate sigil]

And not common now that the way it spawns is different. Use to be like leviathans, always spawned.

Now it's only at night or storms.

If a mountain has a frost cave will it also have silver

[fossil delta]

It always has for me.

[halcyon thistle]

there's a height minimum for silver, I think there's also one for caves so if there's one there's probably the other as well

[tiny tiger]

Im tryna figure out whether its better for me to haul a ship full of silver from my swamp mountain base or just try find silver near my plains base

checked two mountains and neither was very tall or had silver

[fossil delta]

I know if you see obsidian its not also high enough for silver. Its close, though.

Serpents have always spawned like that

[sage portal]

[quasi kettle]

[tiny tiger]

[tiny tiger]

have you made anything other than a bat?

[fossil delta]

Reference your journal, but the clues are rather vague for new people.

[sage portal]

Ok, no i have been just walking for a while and picking up stuffs like woof, berries etc

[fossil delta]

Build your home, upgrade your work bench by killing and gathering, and so on.

[tiny tiger]

You wanna make some kind of shelter to sleep in for when night comes

[sage portal]

OH MY LORD zooming out of the map it looks so big big world!!!!! oh my god i dont know where to go lol

Ok, thank you what is that red triangle on the left corner beside my health?

[fossil delta]

Put a roof over your bench so you can actually use it for repairs and crafting.

Draugurs give me nightmares

[livid widget]

naket and afraid. getting ganged up on by necks, only to have a greyling come out of nowhere to finish you off.

[fringe coral]

I’m naked in the swamp

[fossil delta]

Its usually the boar that kill me, or the trees. 😄

[fringe coral]

I only had a bronze pick going in there

Boars have this uncanny ability to backstab you the moment you run out of sprint sta

[fossil delta]

Valheim. Where even your campfire can kill you.

That actually happened to me heading into swamp. I built a two story fob with a portal on the 2nd level and the small door. The door was right next to my chimney and when I closed it, it pushed me through the chimney and I fell down into the fire and died before I could figure out what had even happened.

[fossil delta]

I thought I had good ventilation. So I stepped away to get a drink. Came back and I was dead.
