[arctic mist]

Hi, I need to find fairy light to continue in the game. Can anyone help?

[digital wave]

for mistlands? you need to kill the boss of the previous biome in progression, plains

after that it should become self explanatory

[ornate sigil]

wisp light for the mistlands is a equip you make using ||silver|| and a|| wisp from the wisp fountain.|| If I remember correct, that should be the recipe. once you have it, equip it like you would any armor or weapon.

[grave nimbus]

i wonder if the devs have already started on deep north or if they're taking a good break after ashlands lol

[vocal rivet]

We've got at least one more patch of Ashlands to go before they even think of what is next.

[grave nimbus]

did they ever say the ocean update was officially off the table?

[vocal rivet]

No. It's still expected.

[grave nimbus]

sweet

[unborn shard]

@helper where can I see the actual version for my game client?

[worthy turtle]

should i use needle arrows on moder or poison/obsidian

[vocal rivet]

Should be on the main menu screen on the lower left.

[lunar sapphire]

Not that it's possible (with the method you used) but I'd advise against trying to mass ping volunteers (helpers and moderators)

[unborn shard]

Thank u, I had a problem today with the gportal host and that is that it kicks my users after 5 minutes, I want to rule out if it is a patch today that suddenly the dedicated host has not yet updated or I need to update it manually

[lunar sapphire]

I'm no help there, I don't keep up to date with external hosting website errors with valheim patch issues 😛

Somebody in the #dedicated-server may know though

[digital wave]

honestly all i want from valheim in future updates is even more furniture to decorate my base with

[rain furnace]

i haven't seen a 2-star asksvin yet either, and I spent some time looking lol... first asksvin I tamed, I didn't have a saddle for it, and it just ran off. I suspect its dead

[digital wave]

well i tamed a 1star asksvin just now and i'll try it tmrw i suspect its gonna be more effective

[daring sinew]

so apparently according to forgotten weapons the atgier might have been a gunpowder weapon

https://www.forgottenweapons.com/viking-atgeirr-reevaluating-the-origins-of-european-firearms/

[small iris]

What's the least required axe to break birch?

[drowsy magnet]

bronze

[rain furnace]

and... bronze gear in general is a bad idea. too expensive

maybe an axe works

[small iris]

Ah i see how it is, thank you fuys@drowsy magnet @rain furnace

[rain furnace]

yeah, if you need birch, play in the plains a bit and get all you need

I grow some now at my main base, but birch seeds are rare, relatively

[thorn wren]

Is lightning enchanting your ashlands weapons always the way to go? I get the poison can maybe have some utility, but a 25% chance to proc 75 lightning damage (and it can chain to nearby enemies) is real good

[ornate sigil]

I can't seem to find the post but you do have to be careful with lightning. it will still chain and hit devgr. they will get angry and try to kill you.

i believe it was a video...im gana keep looking.

#memes-and-clips message found it

[rain furnace]

I like blood, but with all the undead in Ashlands, its a tough sell. maybe once the North opens up as next Biome it will have utility

the mythical fire sword will dominate in Northlands. needs to be buffed tho. effort to get it is unreal

[sharp star]

Are mammoths planned for any future patch?

[ornate sigil]

what's in a patch isn't known to the gameing masses till a patch note comes out, but people have suggested it for the next biome (deep north).

[sharp star]

Niceee

[formal mountain]

Probably a noob question, on Xbox can people just randomly join my game ?

[ornate sigil]

thankfully this isn't darksouls. you shouldn't have to deal with other people (even if you set up a server) if they don't know the password.

[formal mountain]

I just made a character and started playing lol

Game pass

[ornate sigil]

trust me, if you could be invaded, I wouldn't be playing. I hated that aspect of that specific game.

[formal mountain]

Thank goodness

But there are dedicated public servers right?

[ornate sigil]

correct.

[formal mountain]

Thank you

[vocal rivet]

No, there are no public servers for this game. They're all privately owned.

[ornate sigil]

I don't think there are any that aren't locked, but so long as you ask, most people will allow you to join if you follow their guidlines.

or if you make your own*

forgot for a moment that to some "public" means without a password.

[gleaming snow]

is anybody else surprised ||asksvin eggs|| arent used in any cooking recipes?

[woeful yacht]

Ew

[gleaming snow]

hey we eat the literal eyes of greydwarves, enchanted woodland creatures

aint a stretch to say we could eat the ||egg|| of a fallout style mutated version of a ||neck||

https://tenor.com/view/jawas-egg-the-mandalorian-sooga-gif-15777853

[somber pelican]

fish Askvin are friends, not food.

[thorn wren]

I would like for it to have more fire damage --- frankly all ashlands related things need this --- or at least some of them. It's weird how few things do fire damage, it's almost all physical damage.
Warlocks/blobs and the Valkyrie's one attack are the only non-physical things. IDK i find it weird that you could arguably not even make fire resistance pots for ashlands and be fine.

[vocal rivet]

Valkyries, Lava blobs, Charred Warlocks, Bonemaw and Fader all do fire damage.

[rain furnace]

I suspect the existing fire resist potion works, to some degree. I'd just read everywhere the fire resist potion was negligible. and honestly, when fighting it all, fire resist isn't required

[thorn wren]

IDK I find it disappointing that the Warriors/Marksmen, Twitchers, and Morgan don't deal any fire damage with any of their attacks

[outer spindle]

You'll fry from the random embers that set the floor ablaze unless you were really careful not to step into them in combat

[thorn wren]

Meh, my second ashlands playthrough is right now, doing a HC run and I'm through 2 flametal pillars, a Reto tomb, and a fortress so far so at least a couple of hours in Ashlands and I haven't been hit by one.
Because I'm trying to clear through Fader without a death I am using fire resist but I mean I've been directly hit by Valkyrie fireballs without it up and it didn't feel all that dangerous

[rain furnace]

yeah, fire is like any other damaging elemental force in valheim, its not super dangerous at all

[thorn wren]

I know that's kinda what I'm getting at, like think about the Mistlands Dvergr mages hitting you with fireballs for 200+ dmg

Feels weird that the end-game FIRE zone doesn't deal much fire damage

Like the only dangerous fire in Ashlands is the lava and you literally can't stop that from killing you in ~2 seconds, fire pots do nothing

[rain furnace]

I like that fire resist pots do nothing to lava. its LAVA, after all.

[thorn wren]

I haven't tested it to see the actual damage numbers but I know I died to lava almost instantly WITH a fire resist pot on me my first time in ashlands

I was like mid pickaxe swing and died before it landed

[rain furnace]

its a good expectation in life that if you step in LAVA, you will die.

[thorn wren]

I think it probably should effect it though

[rain furnace]

melted rock will kill you

[thorn wren]

I mean what's wrong with making lava kill you in double the time but also leave a nasty fire dot on you that you can mitigate with fire resistance

I'm just saying I think the fire resistance potions need some better value

[burnt glen]

The converse should be the case though. The Flametal armor gives heat resist, which imo should also have some fire resistance property.

[rain furnace]

eh.. its LAVA? if you step in it, there is no damage over time, it just melts your calf off straight away. this seems ok to me

[thorn wren]

It does, 40% total, which is barely noticable, the lava still kills you EXTREMELY fast, under 2 seconds.

[thorn wren]

I mean I don't think we want to be that literal, by this logic if I fall into the water off my boat with my armor on I should 100% drown.

[rain furnace]

I guess? I can learn to swim. but I can't learn to navigate LAVA

[thorn wren]

I mean, you don't need to Dark Souls put on the flame ring and just run across lava for 20 seconds
but you should probably be able to get to a point where lava won't kill you in literally 2-3 tics (the instances of damage are I think faster than half second)

I just want the fire resistance pots to have more value and feel necessary for the end-game fire zone

[unique onyx]

i just assume we have aura of metal floaty, but haven't yet found aura of flamey no burns

[rain furnace]

the human body is not meant to be immune to LAVA. at the end of a day, its magic, so if LAVA can't damage you, then so be it

the price of suspension of disbelief.. if that's still a thing among fiction readers

[burnt glen]

I think the lava damage is fine, honestly. Fire-resistant mead still has plenty of use in the biome and the previous ones.

[thorn wren]

Ok let me put it this way --- when I'm in the swamp, I feel like poison resistance potions have good value. Especially before root set (if you even get that)
When I'm in Ashlands the impact of fire resist wine does not feel super significant. But since it is an end-game fire themed zone, I feel it should be more significant than poison resist pots in swamp

[rain furnace]

why is fire resist even a thing

[unique onyx]

plains boss

[thorn wren]

If you don't have poison mead on when a leech bites you or you get surprised by an oozer / blob in the swamp it SUCKS
That is not true in Ashlands of fire wine.....

[burnt glen]

But fire presence in Ashlands is much higher than poison in the Swamp.
Swamp: Blobs, Leech (easiest mob in the game to avoid), Bonemass
Ashlands: Fader, Warlock, Valk, Bonemaw, Lava Blobs, Charred trees, Meteors..

[unique onyx]

same thing poison mead is for tbh is swamp boss .. making it to roam the swamp sounds effective but very time consuming

[rain furnace]

I like that you can't grow crops in Ashlands

[thorn wren]

Charred trees burn you? I've literally spent for sure over a dozen hours in ashlands across these 2 playthroughs and never knew that
Meteors are also exceptionally rare.

Bonemaw are nonexistent on the islands and their fire damage is insignificant
Valk fire damage is kinda worth popping a pot for, but really not necessary
Warlocks are in fortresses and their fire damage is very easy to move out of

[rain furnace]

if you solo firelands, praise be unto you. kinda feel like its pseudo-required now to team up to win

[thorn wren]

I am soloing it now in this HC playthrough, I've done quite a bit so far, including a fortress

[unique onyx]

ive been trying but stuff respawns before i can clear the island so far, still pushing lol

[thorn wren]

Set up checkpoints with shield generators, portal and some campfires --- don't ever bother with night just go home and sleep. You definitely don't want to find starred morgans....
Frostner is amazing for progressing in as the heavy attack basically makes warriors EZ, even starred ones. Sledgehammer(Demolisher) too

[rain furnace]

I...cheated. and used devcommands to win. I used fly to explore firelands and found that the mythical weapon basically required a full search of all Firelands biome to fnd it, a definite departure from past biomes for exclusive gear. Its do-able, but you'll be grinding for weeks, just be aware.

[thorn wren]

That way you have fallback zones that are safe

Honestly the secret weapon is not that hard to get. The trouble is just getting the first Mysterious zone, but once you get that it will give you the next one, and the next will give you the last one.

Way more trouble SAILING to the locations tbh

[burnt glen]

@thorn wren I do understand what you mean. I don't feel like I'm in danger of dying when I don't have fire mead in Ashlands, but it'd be a bad experience to constantly have to pop a fire mead.. or use an armor from mountains with like 48 armor points. Swamp also isn't like this btw, maybe going in you'll want to use a few to get used to it but Blobs are very easy to kill and Leeches are extremely avoidable.

[rain furnace]

some people thrive on weeks long grinds lol

[unique onyx]

yeah killing spawns might do it, i've been using mistwalker and a parry shield it's been pretty smooth unless i get jumped. i tried the ice staff first but wasn't that effective for most of it

[rain furnace]

keep grinding Hobbit.

grind, grind, grind...

[burnt glen]

Mistwalker is on par, or even better than the new swords.

[thorn wren]

Blobs are everywhere though including in crypts and the poison, if they do get it off, is significantly damaging so it's worth having them the entire time for safety.
Yea, you can do without, but also--- it's a... early/mid game zone so I mean... it feels right.
Ashlands is an end-game zone. You should need some tactics and the fire resistance wine being significant feels like a good direction.
Overall I like Ashlands but I'd maybe make the basic enemies do 20% less dmg but apply a fire dot with their attacks (so fire pot is good, maybe add this to marksmen?) or do something with lava, maybe lava deals 50% less damage but leaves a 5 second dot that tics for 20, making fire pots more useful

[gleaming snow]

we eat their tails

why not their unborn young too?

[rain furnace]

best laid plans end in tears

[thorn wren]

It would also feel less... awful.... Like, my biggest fear in my HC run was Flametal pillars because in my first playthrough with friends I literally slid off a pillar into the lava and instantly died once because my character just started floating and slid right off without any control on my part. I couldn't even get a jump off before I had died because the lava kills you ridiculously fast.

[unique onyx]

yeah that just happend earlier the flametal was a bit lower in a lava pit or whatever and when i jumped it mostly just slid lol

[thorn wren]

Or you break the Flametal and just fall 10 feet suddenly that's why I didn't even get to rumbling on the 2 flametal pillars I did in this run, I just took absolute minimalist amount and fucked off

[rain furnace]

I mean, if you die forever on Death #1, that's a consideration.....

[thorn wren]

got my first real chunk of flametal from the fortress

[rain furnace]

otherwise, I gotta game it out and see what's typed lol

always keep yourself viable

[burnt glen]

I mean I get your reasoning, but it just sounds awful to pop it every 10 minutes I'm in that biome. I think it has sufficient fire damage to make you feel a bit easier when you have it on, but also to not make it difficult beyond fun for when you don't.

If Flametal armor gave fire resist, I'd agree, and it kinda makes sense considering that's the metal that doesn't burn/melt in Lava, but idk..

[rain furnace]

good luck

[thorn wren]

I'd love to see the lava change. It dealing 50% less damage would still kill the player (without flametal armor) in 2 seconds, with that armor in 3-4 seconds. Pretty darn quick.
But with that damage reduction, also add a fire dot to the lava so you'd have a point of value for fire resistance wine
I'm interested to see if they change anything with it.
Like I said, overall, I'm pretty happy with Ashlands --- the only other thing I'd complain about is the Grausten Pillars on the way in. They are extremely obnoxious. It's literally just better to slam your boat into a pillar, get step up on it with a workbench, kill surrounding enemies, break the boat and rebuild it in a better spot on the other side of the pillars.
The WALLS of spikey pillars are just obnoxious

try sailing that damned thing in solo without doing what I described above --- nightmare.

[rain furnace]

yeah, I got killed by stuff supporting longship death in valheim, but eventually overcame it.... build a garden sactuary with a dvergar bae

[gleaming snow]

anybody know roughly how long it takes to ||hatch an asksvin egg?||

[blissful acorn]

why oh why did i click the spoiler

[blissful acorn]

according to a reddit thread i found, one player says it only needs|| a source of warmth and 30 mins||

[somber pelican]

🤣 only was joking myself ofcourse hahaha, sounds brutal

[regal mural]

I just discovered you can travel with ticks on you

There is now one stuck in my wall

[blissful acorn]

💀 i am desperate for a screenshot

[eternal raven]

so it the same with chicken

[blissful acorn]

i assume so! let me know if it works, i myself have not tried

if you have one too

[eternal raven]

why u want to tame it. u can't ride it on lava and as a food source it a mehh cuz they just keep coming at u

[eternal raven]

i can just test in my testworld

[blissful acorn]

i don't know anything about the ashlands so maybe tag spoilers

i'm starting over completely and my previous world i had done everything apart from the mist boss

[eternal raven]

hmmm if u scroll up a little bit u will see a whole lot of conversation about ashland

[blissful acorn]

that's crazy

[eternal raven]

look we lazy to put the tag

[blissful acorn]

yeah i gathered

[regal mural]

#screenshots message

[blissful acorn]

hahaha! thank you
nice organization by the way

[regal mural]

thanks.
THis is my ultimate utra base

It is the first basement out of 7 floors still in the making the last 2 but got a ceiling

[eternal raven]

so about the egg it is the same as chicken

[dusk comet]

Anybody else find it funny that the rested buff in Spanish is con energia which translates to with energy😄

[eternal raven]

after looking at it now i feel like my base look like a child building it

[regal mural]

@royal blaze
#building-screenshots message

[regal mural]

No, this is my fourth run second real run. spent a lot of time building

and free building mode really allows to do a lot

[eternal raven]

I just go with normal build setting and in hard mode as a solo building and gathering resource is hard. So I just build a 2 floors wood house that look like our house drawing when we were a kid

[regal mural]

Yeah that is me every other time.

But sometimes i see this nice spot or idea and enabkle build mode and spend days just doing that pausing my progress

Like i am making a true Dwarf cave as well

[eternal raven]

my friends really love building so I alway let them build. that why I never good at building

[regal mural]

It is quiet fun when you get into it

[eternal raven]

well who care if u build it and it have a shelter status that good enough

[regal mural]

It helps explore creativity

[eternal raven]

i'm good at red stone building in minecraft

auto farm ? let me build for u

[regal mural]

I never really got much into mincraft

even valheim i almost didnt try becasue pixel

[eternal raven]

i quit it minecraft cuz i die in my hardcore mode by jumping into the void. my 2000 days hardcore

take a stupid mind to lost everything

[eternal raven]

i never care about game graphic much. if it have the mechanic gameplay i like i will play it

[regal mural]

me too but i had a very minimum at the time 😄 and then many other game.

[eternal raven]

same plus work too

[regal mural]

a better image of my oganization inside the wall. not perfect and expanding as i entered mistland right now stuck into 2 containers

[vernal plover]

I made a world Pre-Ashlands. I haven't explored anything post-swamp. Will I have Ashlands content or am I screwed?

[shy marlin]

you'll have ashlands content

[daring sinew]

if you havent explored those lands will generate

[lament hearth]

Do the dungeons respawn/reset or do i have to keep finding new ones ?

[echo plaza]

You've got to keep finding new ones.

[fair cairn]

only mushrooms will regrow inside dungeons but the loot\ore and enemies wont

[open mortar]

does ore not regen? im pretty sure i saw tons of copper ore in a blackforest near spawn that i completely cleared

[tepid pike]

it does not

[open mortar]

i wonder how it got there

[zealous quarry]

Can u guys tell me where one could find a friend to start a new world with?

[open mortar]

try #1024264966712340510 maybe

[zealous quarry]

Thx

[finite lodge]

what situations would trollstav best be used?

[viscid scarab]

Cast the troll into the charred fortresses.

[finite lodge]

wierd i thought tasty mead would last longer

[near saddle]

it replaces a stamina mead, because it regens a lot of stamina (just not as fast), but more importantly, it has no cooldown

when using tasty mead, you have to stop running and attacking for the regen to occur, but you can use another asap

[plush umbra]

Does anybody else actively avoid clearcutting forest or messing up the landscape? If so, what do you do? I try not to take the mossy logs and stones or stumps as they never respawn, or I cut saplings growing too close together with the axe secondary attack, and I cut only a few trees from an area before I go on to another.

[near saddle]

you can just portal to a location away from your base designated for woodcutting

that's what I usually did

[plush umbra]

I did on my first run, but I no longer use portals or maps.

[uneven cove]

Hi is there a chance that anyone gift or trade me 4-6 chicken eggs ?

[azure yacht]

Spawn them

[uneven cove]

How

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands

[daring sinew]

I find it difficult to cut down oak trees when I specifically wanted the seeds to plant more

[uneven cove]

Ok thanks i take a look later on

[zealous quarry]

At some point i build a 10x20x7 stone room and plant my trees in there. Chopping them in there saves me a tone of hits since they fall ll over each other. Very fast way to make wood

[finite lodge]

should i just add lightning to everything

would nidhogg the thundering's increase my elemental skill or my sword skill

[plush umbra]

Same. Risking losing the tree while perhaps getting no seeds makes me not do it often. And the wood type is available on a much more plentiful tree anyway.

[buoyant ether]

wait so there are even raid prevention mechanics ?

like building wards and stuff ? this guide also said workbenches prevent them ?

[plush umbra]

Many items do. Torches and fires. The wiki can tell you all the items with an anti-spawn field. Only the workbench shows you the radius though.

[buoyant ether]

but how do torches ? cuz i used to use a shit ton of torches around my village, didnt help against raids AT all

[plush umbra]

Things simply cannot spawn close to them. If you have a gap, a troll can still appear in your base. I don’t spam items. I build a cozy and small spot, naturally decorate and put up wooden walls. When invaded, I just run out to murder what wants to break my stuff. The walls are strong enough to last a good while so you can eat and whatnot.

[buoyant ether]

and that works ?

cuz id kinda love to not build insane walls and stuff

[wispy path]

i don't know about torches, but i've used fireplaces and it works just fine - spam them about 200m out and it'll help a lot

[buoyant ether]

id probs lose those fights

well damn

[finite lodge]

how do i walk across lava

[plush umbra]

It works for me, but I also don’t die often. I prep a lot, and enjoy games like the Souls series and hardcore rpgs. So Valheim hasn’t been nearly as punishing for me as some of my friends. I prefer to just go kill what comes to me. That being said, some raids hit faster than others and if you leave the red circle the raid will stay there until you return to finish it, or another raid triggers elsewhere (only one at a time is possible).

I never build moats or earth walls because it just feels cheesy and I dislike the look and time it takes. After a certain point of progression at each stage, the things that give you trouble today will tomorrow be like killing necks anyway.

[buoyant ether]

im a souls player as well but valheim combat been giving me trouble :D tho im new but, slowly learning the ropes

first two biomes were easy tho

[plush umbra]

It’s a stamina game. If you are trying to rush to progress stop, slow down a bit and be happy with a little progress here and there. The more you rush, the more likely you will die. This starts to become a thing more in the third biome and beyond. The game is basically the saying, “you can run but you will just die tired”

Prep is key. The hardest fights in the game become a snooze with good preparation, and that is without cheesing the game mechanics with logging out, terrain walls and trenches, and safe spots under altars etc.

[near saddle]

you can't walk on it, craft basalt bombs at the workbench

[plush umbra]

If you ever played Megaman, Valheim is similar to the bosses in those games. It tries to trick you into moving constantly, but staying still and moving only when you need to is often better. You can walk away from most danger in the game without spamming rolls and sprinting and parries. Just gotta know your enemy.

[finite lodge]

literally everything in the ashlands can move through lava though how am i supposed to make it across quickly with basalt bomb platforms lol while being chased

[versed parcel]

do you guys think there's gonna be another update before deep north
kinda like hildr's request between mistlands and ashlands

[finite lodge]

i thought this was the last one

[versed parcel]

why did you think that

[finite lodge]

no idea actually

[versed parcel]

the game is still in early access
it's not even fully out yet

[plush umbra]

Deep North is likely the last major one. I would love to see some more small content like finewood and corewood items and stuff for homes.

[finite lodge]

i forget what game update i read recently where they announced its the last one

[versed parcel]

nah I think they said something about thinking up ideas for the ocean

[finite lodge]

even though terrarria dev says that every time

[plush umbra]

That would be cool

[versed parcel]

but yeah I would like another hearth and home / hildr's request scale update like mid-way to deep north

[versed parcel]

specifically that yea more finewood and corewood pieces would be nice

[plush umbra]

Some fishing love would be nice, and maybe more fun crafted items? Like the horn of celebration and things that can be used for fun or with friends or with tamed animals.

[buoyant ether]

how densely u gotta set up torches for it to work ?

[versed parcel]

ok yeah fishing could use an update if I'm gonna be fr
like there's no real point to fishing other than fishing for collecting's sake

plus you get the same raw fish from all fish as far as I'm aware
so if you're fishing for food's sake there's no point in fishing for any fish tier higher than the meadows fishes

[plush umbra]

Not sure as I typically don’t spam items. Wiki should say it’s area of effect. Use boards to measure the meter distance

[plush umbra]

Fish weight gives more raw fish

[wispy path]

i haven't done ashlands stuff yet, but the angler fish was the best stam food in the game for a year, but no one did it because the it took more time to get a few angler fish, than it let you use the food

[plush umbra]

Different fish also have different loot tables for the extra stuff you find in them

[wispy path]

are we playing the same game?

[versed parcel]

yeah no what

[plush umbra]

You ever catch a pike and get loot other than the fish? Now do it in another biome with another fish.

Some drop amber, some flint, some sap and ooze

[wispy path]

granted, i haven't done a TON of fishing, but i have never received extra loot from fishing

[versed parcel]

I have never had that happen
what.

[plush umbra]

Then you really have not done much fishing. If you don’t mind spoilers you can see the tables on the fish wiki page under loot

[versed parcel]

ok I checked it but ngl that doesn't really
seem that good

[plush umbra]

You get the loot as you collect the fish, but you probably didn’t notice it being added to inventory.

[versed parcel]

like a 4-16% chance to get some resources that you're better off getting normally

ehhhhh

[buoyant ether]

does island base get a lot of lag btw ?

[plush umbra]

The difference is it is renewable. If you cleared all burial chambers or crypts etc, it is a nice way to get some extra items while getting some okay food.

[versed parcel]

I guess
still think the whole fishing thingy could be reworked a fair bit though
maybe each fish giving a different fish meat thingy would be a good start

[plush umbra]

If you like fishing anyway. If not then yeah it is a waste of time and you can go explore for new places to pillage

[versed parcel]

cuz like getting the same okay food from a perch as a deep north salmon

is pretty silly I think

[plush umbra]

Press f2 if on PC. Look at the “instances” section. Higher instances may lead to higher lag, but not always. Some people have trouble with fog or fire but instances cause few issues. I haven’t had island issues.

[plush umbra]

Agreed

[versed parcel]

I feel like a fishing clothes set thing aqquired not too far in the game would also be nice

[buoyant ether]

this game scratch an itch i didnt know i had

[versed parcel]

like it could add fishing skill and reduce the stamina used for pulling

[plush umbra]

Though they will likely move the reward to cooking. For example you can make cooked fish or fish wraps. Wraps are obviously better food with the same material.

[wispy path]

is there a fishing clothes set now? i thought i just remembered a hat

[versed parcel]

nono I'm talking about the fact that it could be neat for one to be added

[wispy path]

oh, yah

[plush umbra]

There is a fishing skill and it does decrease stamina used and reeling speed

[versed parcel]

yeah ik but I'm talking about the set giving a bonus to that skill
much like the troll set gives bonus to stealth and etc etc

[plush umbra]

Ohhh yeah that would be nice. Like an angler’s set.

[versed parcel]

so yeah I feel like a fishing + building update before the deep north could be cool
or maybe this hypothetical update could be just fleshing out past biomes by adding more recipes for some weapons and armor
cuz a fishing update would probably make sense to include with that potential ocean update eventually

[buoyant ether]

man deciding on a base location is haaaaarrrddddddd 😫

[versed parcel]

probs a good idea to build near a big river or the ocean

[wispy path]

I think they just need better ways to create overhangs for buildings, and tieing in roofs

[versed parcel]

yeah no more build pieces are always welcome

[buoyant ether]

yeah but theres so many spots with different possibilities

[versed parcel]

then build everything everywhere.

colonize the entire world

[mossy peak]

I just built my place near the spawn so I could access buffs easier

[buoyant ether]

i found this small patch island, might try to make this work

its like the normal radius of a workbench size XD

so wont be farming on this if i do it

guys help me decide, do i pick the bigger island thats half black forest half plains

or that super small one thats onyl plains ?

im thinking i wanna try and do like a big ass hut kind of a build

uhm... the 4m beams wont form a perfect circle ? wtf 😫

the last beam doesnt fit in basically

but i managed to do it on the other island... weirdga

yeah on the other island it goes in just fine

am i missing something ?

and does rain do dmg to stone ?

[mystic gale]

you should be able to form a 12 sided polygon with anything in this game?

i had to google, its a dodecagon?

[buoyant ether]

its like 14 sides ? 15 ?

[mystic gale]

12

[buoyant ether]

with the big beams

[mystic gale]

with anything

[buoyant ether]

yeah mine is 15 sides

[mystic gale]

ok so uh.. 12 is the max

[buoyant ether]

wdym

#screenshots message

will this have issues then ?

i dont wanan build in vain 😫

ahh damn i dont think it will be sturdy enough to build high enough

[plush umbra]

He's flying, get him!

If you are using corewood beams to set the foundation, they can have two very close snap points on the ends. One will appear more close to the outer edge, and one close to the inside. It's a bit frustrating and if you don't notice it early, it will make your entire build not fit together.

[tiny tiger]

This game gotta be trolling me

Its raining everywhere but the ocean

[pliant hatch]

Sounds like real life weather to me.

[tiny tiger]

Was really hoping serpent stew was on the menu tonight

[plush umbra]

Man, I love serpent stew and serpent meat. Those two foods carry through the game so hard it is insane.

[tiny tiger]

I’ve just about reached the point where they’re on par with the rest of the food I can get but they’re still a welcome addition

[plush umbra]

By the time it is on par though you have already reached technical endgame. And they are fun to hunt

[tiny tiger]

On my next run I think I’m gonna wanna spend some more time sailing and serpent hunting and island hopping throughout the Iron Age

Right as I reach the coast the serpent escapes

[wispy path]

it seems like it triggers to retreat when it gets too close to the coast, that's what the harpoon is for

[pliant hatch]

So?
Turn your ship and lure it back to the coast again.
The longer you're able to anger it, the more likely it's going to follow you.
And giving you the right opportunity to use the Abysmal Harpoon to drag it onto land, which makes killing it and collecting the items a lot easier.

[tiny tiger]

Okay the drag it onto shore and try to kill it aspect is kinda tedious, if it wasn’t for the deathsquito showing up to take out most of his health that would have been very annoying luring him onto shore just to have no stamina to damage him

[plush umbra]

I find the best hunting grounds are large bays and inlets. It needs to be large enough to have lots of ocean but close enough to drag the serpent. Another option if you don't like dragging them is to get them down to one hit, let them come in for a bite, and then shoot them as they stop to attack and jump in immediately to get the loot as they die.

If you can read you can see he clearly says it worked before, and asks if he is missing something. What he was missing is the varied snap points on the logs. 😉

[sharp bluff]

ramming serpents with the boat sure feels nice xd

[buoyant ether]

i found yag altar but i probs still ahve a lot to discover, shame i made my base on a small part of plains

[plush umbra]

Yag's a fun fight with a great soundtrack

[buoyant ether]

do i dare to start it yet ?

im rocking fenris set to max, i got frostner at max, draugr fang at max

[plush umbra]

I would look in the plains for some runestones about the Fulings and Yagluth first.

Think about the enemies in plains, the weapons they use, and combine that with the runestone lore to prepare for the fight. If this is your first time, anyway.

[buoyant ether]

yeah my first

so id need better weapons etc 🤔

[plush umbra]

Not necessarily. But you are missing something that will help a lot, and you should invest in the best foods you can get.

[buoyant ether]

btw have u tried the arcthrones ds3 mod ?

[buoyant ether]

yeah i havent found anything foodwise except lox meat which seems good

[plush umbra]

The bow itself is fine. Frostner is fine. The armor is fine. But there are two things you can add to make it possible. As for the foods, you should be farming and cooking using barley for better foods. Or use serpent foods.

[buoyant ether]

also i have no idea how to unlock the paddeda rmor

[plush umbra]

If you have squito problems, get the root harnesk chestpiece, from killing abominations in the swamp. It makes their stab basically do no damage.

You need to farm. Plains is where farming becomes part of the game in full (and we should be doing before then really)

Raid some fuling villages for the crops: there are two types, barley and flax. Then plant them and harvest more. They only grow in plains.

[buoyant ether]

so i need to find some veggies

[buoyant ether]

oh ok ok

[plush umbra]

Crops and meat, then raise your cauldron level and process the items in a spinner and a windmill.

If your cauldron is only level 2 or 3, it isn't high enough.

[sharp bluff]

you need the black metal upgrade for plains food

[buoyant ether]

i do have black metal

or what kind of an ugprade u mean?

and is barley important ?

[modest zenith]

can someone help me reobtain my stuff im new

[faint lynx]

is there a trick to getting sea serpent trophies? a biddy of mine is trying to farm them, he's killed about 20+ so far, he always jumps on their head befor killing them, but no trophies. he gets plenty of scales

can you only get them on land?

[modest zenith]

drag them to shore im new but recently did that and got one 1st try

you can harpoon them too

[faint lynx]

but that takes so much longer than just killing a lot of them in the water

[modest zenith]

ik bro

someone plz help me get my stuff

[austere flame]

It's a 1 in 3 chance of getting a trophy after killing

And yes, only at shore

[faint lynx]

what biome did you die in?

[modest zenith]

near swamp but not in swamp

it was like a drauger village

never seen it before

[faint lynx]

ah ye those can be mean

[modest zenith]

i just need the supplies for a karve is all i lost my copper axe in the death

[faint lynx]

how far is it from your world spawn / do you have a portal there?

[modest zenith]

its super close

not far maybe 2 min run if thats ok

[faint lynx]

kk, I can help you in a sec

[supple jasper]

have the devs released anything with regards to ashlands?

[modest zenith]

thanks ill dm u

[supple jasper]

like things they were unhappy/happy with

I'll probably go with inventory mods for this playthrough once I hit them

[finite lodge]

chain lightning effect isnt for damage right? does it stun them?

[near saddle]

it is for damage

[finite lodge]

but elemental damage has effect on the chain lightning right

elemental skill*

[near saddle]

get them down to low health and then harpoon
the sea is really not that large

[finite lodge]

does thundering nidhogg scale with elemental skill or sword skill

[azure yacht]

Special effects don't scale

[buoyant ether]

i feel like i should map out the big ass hut build i wanna do better

[wet lodge]

I built a storage room with space for 84 reinforced crates, hopefully this'll be enough xD

[finite lodge]

does a shield generator do anything for a base in meadows?

[azure yacht]

Stops rain

And spawns within its radius like player base pieces

[finite lodge]

does the time of day affect the lava? like is it cooler at night and more spots are able to be stepped on?

[azure yacht]

Nope

[buoyant ether]

will i need iron beams for support if i make a big round building ? idk how to position them

[faint lynx]

depends how big

[buoyant ether]

all the roof parts so far are green

well i used 4m logs to make a round design so its pretty big

id love to add floors to this bnut idk

okay the walls arent high enuff yet

but yeah, i feel like id lvoe to make it two floored with a basement but idk if i can make that work

[faint lynx]

I built a fairly big round house for our portals

[buoyant ether]

oh ?

[faint lynx]

see screenshot channel

but its only one floor

[buoyant ether]

i shulda made better defenses ffs 😫

no fulings hittin my stone foundations

honka honka thats a dope ass building

mine is the same size yeah

[faint lynx]

its always 2 long corewood beams, then one angle more

[wet lodge]

I have yet to build a teleporter building

the access portal is built, but not the room itself

[buoyant ether]

mine is in my basement xd

[wet lodge]

too much other stuff to build..

[buoyant ether]

the building neva stops 😫

[manic monolith]

i cant autopickup items even tho autopickup is enabeld, im not encumbered hwo do i fix this

[buoyant ether]

how did u get ur walls that nice

the fueling hitboxes istg

[faint lynx]

its just wood

the basic wood building stuff. I replaced the roof later, but this building was one of the first in this base

[buoyant ether]

nah i meant ur base walls like, is that ground or stoneblocks ?

[faint lynx]

the base walls are stoneblocks, but its not done

the part near the harbor is done, with the towers etc, but the bit behind the house is just rough

[sage portal]

Is it possible to play this game on windows if bought via apple store on macos? Or do I need to buy separately?

[paper marsh]

I would assume it is not possible; but I also know nothing about it

[ripe narwhal]

Can 2star seeker one shot me in padded armor and 150health?

[sharp bluff]

use root armour instead?

chest piece that is

[digital wave]

probably not one shot but a loooot of dmg

actually u might only survive the bite attack

[sharp bluff]

enough to cause a stagger, which is enough to get clapped right after

[digital wave]

yeah i wouldnt attempt tackling a 2* seeker without bonemass tbh

or any 2* on my level for that matter

[sharp bluff]

the ticks are fine

[paper marsh]

Hmm would be a dicey one. Prob die. They do 240 damage, so 240-your armor is the damage you’ll take. There’s a bit of variation though

[digital wave]

right but they are really bad when they arent by themselves

[sharp bluff]

armor qorks a bit different at higher values

[paper marsh]

If you wear root chest you’d survive. Even with no other armor, root chest would reduce the damage to around 110

[ripe narwhal]

I mean Im next to my only portal to home and he's chasing me and I just have padded armor

[paper marsh]

Isn’t that only if you have more armor than half the damage the opponent does though? I don’t think padded gives 120+ armor

[ripe narwhal]

And no bonemass skill rip

[digital wave]

you could kite it to nearby dvergr

[paper marsh]

Bonemass power most boring power

[digital wave]

mages preferrably, thats what i always did w high level mistlands mobs

[ripe narwhal]

I'll try

[sharp bluff]

also extremely broken

[digital wave]

as a bonus if the seeker outmatches the dvergr youre free to take their stuff lol

[crisp portal]

GUys, what did you guys think of the Stone portal size? Did it need to be that huge?!

[digital wave]

yeah its cool

[sharp bluff]

i have never seen the dvergr lose to less than an army of mobs, starred or not

[digital wave]

ive only seen their numbers decrease from a gjall

that i coincidentally lured to their tower but lets ignore that

[crisp portal]

I could not fit it in my portal hub, way too big (the design and purpose are amazing, tho)

[ripe narwhal]

If I run to my portal will he destroy it?

[digital wave]

maybe not when going back but when you try to get back he may spawncamp you

[ripe narwhal]

Hmmm

[digital wave]

ive had that happen while the world was loading and i couldnt move i got spawncamped in a portal

enemies both killed me and destroyed my portal

[sharp bluff]

but bonemass makes that seeker a joke so he can just grab that and flatten the sucker

[digital wave]

yeah you can go home, get bonemass and pop it before going back in

[ripe narwhal]

I also have no rest buff and wet debuff how lucky

Alr

[sharp bluff]

i hate rain xd

[digital wave]

yeah i think your best bet is going in the portal and then coming back rebuffed w bonemass

[ripe narwhal]

You were right he was camping portal but I absolutely destroyed him

[digital wave]

nice gj!

[sharp bluff]

resistance effects are hillariously potent in valheim

[thin elbow]

what is there to do in the swamp other than dying

[digital wave]

open crypts and get iron

kill boss to get the most op forsaken power

[sharp bluff]

and farm abominations for their overpowered armour set

[heavy burrow]

So, im about to fight plains boss. Seems like ill have 2 bosses left affer this, how much time approx do i have left untill im done with bosses? Im on day 160 atm, not very interested in creative building

(Playing xbox so no mods 😦 )

[thin elbow]

i need swamp key for that

[digital wave]

quite a lot i think, mistlands is much longer compared to plains and ashlands is like even more

[digital wave]

exactly

[steel copper]

The difficulty in bosses for Mistland and Ashland increase imo

[heavy burrow]

Oh okay, ive already spent more time in plains than either previous place

[merry pebble]

i would say at least another 50-60 days most likely even more 🙂

[heavy burrow]

That sounds sweet, was afraid im getting close to the end

[thin elbow]

i need to defeat the boss before i get iron then ?

[digital wave]

you need to defeat the boss of the previous area to do swamp

[steel copper]

Ashland is way shorter than mistlands.
I'm surprised how fast I got everything honestly. Bit disappointed

[thin elbow]

i've only defeated the first boss

[digital wave]

then go defeat the second

dont skip black forest

[thin elbow]

where can i find the second boss ?

[digital wave]

black forest

[thin elbow]

how to recognize it

[digital wave]

pine trees everywhere, trolls, lots of greydwarves

[violet elk]

was there any server i can join?

[thin elbow]

i mean the boss

[digital wave]

tall tree man

[thin elbow]

i have been to black forest before

[digital wave]

explore black forest dungeons and you should get the marker for the elder

[thin elbow]

oh ok

[digital wave]

there are similar stone tablets like at the forsaken stone circle where you had to put the first boss' trophy, theyre called vegvisirs

the raven told you to interact with it

[merry pebble]

if you want to find location of any boss then its a good idea to look for vegvisir (the same rock with red circular symbol that revealed Eikthyr to you) in apropriate biome, try to look for structures like stone towers in black forest and eventualy there should be one, vegvisirs can also be found in dungeons (burial chambers in this case) 🙂

[digital wave]

do you have bronze gear at least?

[craggy rain]

im going to make a valheim private server and host it online so you can join naytime, dm me if interested

[vast fox]

can anyone tell me how hard bonemass is to solo?

[shy marlin]

Just bring poision resist, good food, and iron mace and you'll be fine

[merry pebble]

a bit hard for the first time 🙂 but with proper preperation he isnt so bad

[vast fox]

aye ty all i have full iron then i will preperation hope i can kill him 🙂

wait he is not resist to fire yes?

[viral willow]

0.5 to damage

[merry pebble]

he is very resistant to fire

so 0,25 dmg

same with pierce

[vast fox]

damn i have 2 fire/gas pit by him then it seem not to going to do much then

[violet elk]

u want companion?

[vast fox]

i wan to see if i can take him solo firse but if not going to say yes if it comes to that 😄

[violet elk]

according to google elder is weak to a fire

"The Elder. The Elder is the second boss after Eikthyr and is found in Black Forests. He has a total of 2500 HP, with neutral resistances to most damage types, but is weak to Fire."

[vast fox]

yeah i kill him with a bow and fire arrow but bonemass is very resistant to fire so it is going to be fun

[wet lodge]

iron shield can parry him, poison mead negates his poison. iron sledge is great to deal with the minions he spawns

parries dont stagger bosses but negate pretty much all damage for small stamina cost

[vast fox]

wait he have minions oh no

[sharp bluff]

use an iron mace and they die in 2 seconds

[simple harbor]

it rains so much in my game, can i get some sort of rain coat ? 😄

[sharp bluff]

bonemass is extremely weak to kiting and macing

[vast fox]

and here i sue a pole

i can see it will not do much

[sharp bluff]

bonemass kinda hard forces poison resist and blunt weapons

he is pretty easy with those tho

[vast fox]

Then i make that and see if i can kill him

[sharp bluff]

bonemass has 3 attacks you care about:
slam, which you parry
breath, which you need to evade and then drag the boss out of
and
bone ball, which summons adds

[crisp portal]

Guys, Charred warlords only spawn IN the fortress?! usually 3 or so?

[azure yacht]

Warriors

And they spawn everywhere

If you mean warlocks, yes, only fortresses

[vast fox]

They should make in the game corrosive arrows the works great against skeletons. And I will remember that 😄

[azure yacht]

Because bows are definitely the weapon that needs the most buffing...

[crisp portal]

Yeah I meant warlocks (didnt' remember their names precisely)

[sharp bluff]

we need spear fixes

[near kayak]

Give it a 3 hit combo for the love of god

[thin elbow]

yes i just beat the elder

[sharp bluff]

give it range and a decent hit box

when im using a spear im not expecting the range of a knife

[azure yacht]

They only need increased range and higher knockback to make them much better

Another animation and combo attack is just secondary bonus

I use a mod that increase those two stats and I easily kill everything in plains with fang spear.

Makes me miss atgeir less

[sharp bluff]

problem is that atgeir is kinda what spear should be

stabbing combo primary, sweeping strong attack

[near kayak]

spear is arguably one of the worst weapon to use

[drowsy herald]

what capes dont burn in the ashlands?

[sharp bluff]

arguably one of? it is, without question, the fking worst

[near kayak]

Sledges

[sharp bluff]

at least useful crowd control

[near kayak]

Good point

[ornate sigil]

most don't. unless it lists a weakness for fire, it should be fine.

[shy marlin]

nah lets buff atgeirs they need some help.

[crisp portal]

I craft spears for decoration. they are not useless xD hehehe

[near kayak]

I mean spears don't even have good dps in single target vs bosses and big mobs sooooo spear buff when :3?

[drowsy herald]

alright thanks

[fallen zephyr]

"I like spear, so buff it please" - the most effective argument for change ever. 😛

[crisp portal]

I think the only cape that was nerfed in that way was Feather cape

still negligible if using fire resistance mead

[near kayak]

🤔

[hidden gorge]

just goes to show their opinions are the same quality as their arguments

[ornate sigil]

spear gets buff when it decides to stop avoiding "leg day" 😋

[azure yacht]

They do against trolls and bosses not resistant to pierce

[near kayak]

😔

[unique onyx]

ashlands is crazy. walk out, fight 6 things, accidentally knock a tree slightly, 12 more things, run back, somehow the first 6 things have already respawned? lol

[sharp bluff]

too many spawners

time to hammer yag

[thorny meadow]

anyone wanna play a new server

well

?

[merry pebble]

you can look in #1024264966712340510 🙂

[thorny meadow]

thx

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh. As much as I love this game, the Devs seems to interpret "difficulty" as "more of the same". I get it, but it's lazy.

[lavish nymph]

The cape being stiff cause of it's high armour is an okay thematic idea but it's just, visually unappealing. It's massive, and it's rigidity makes it look really janky.

[urban ivy]

just got 340 iron scrap from 3 crypts!

[merry pebble]

nice 😄

[paper marsh]

Seems like fine dps to me. Also doesn’t have to rely on 3-hit comboes or slow attack speed which can be interrupted if you need to dodge

Imo fang spear is the best weapon for Moder

[near kayak]

You sure it does not get out dps'd by like knives and swords?

[hot fern]

also... that depends on the monster you're facing, spears are actually highest damage weapons in the game against most of the bigger creatures, like troll, lox, etc, but some of the bosses have resistance to it

[sharp bluff]

meanwhile abominations, golems etc...

[hot fern]

different weapons are better against them, but yeah, that's why i said "most"

[sharp bluff]

point being: they suck against many of the enemies you worry the most about

[hot fern]

completely disagree with that

they're great against trolls, lox, gjalls, seeker soldiers due to mobility and backstabbing and they're also great against anything that's damage neutral, because they have insane stagger

[paper marsh]

Idk if they have as good dps, but they have good dps. Even if another weapon doesn't better dps that doesn't automatically make spears trash

[azure yacht]

I've been stun locking Fulings with a maxed out fang spear and decent spear level (20-40).

It's pretty hilarious to see

[near kayak]

throws the spear on the gjall

• Oh no, I lost my spear 🥴

[paper marsh]

And again dps is hard to quantify as it depends on the attacks the opponent has and how often you have to dodge

[azure yacht]

Fang spear is also very cheap to upgrade and it has higher damage than iron atgeir from lvl 3

[paper marsh]

Spears are the fastest way I've found to kill Gjall. Just sit under it with 2 spears and it gets shredded

Although, I imagine 100 bow skill could beat it

Carapace spear is the only mistlands weapon you can skip to unlock from meadows

[azure yacht]

Aim issue 🤷

[hot fern]

the trick with the gjall is taking advantage of the situation; when you're close enough to the gjall, you can throw your spear at its belly and never lose it.

and when that happens, you can do a ton of damage in a very short time

[azure yacht]

Yeah, because having bow lvl 100 is certainly common

Meanwhile, spears are already decent at low levels

[daring sinew]

I read an article that theorizes that the atgier is actually an ancient Viking gun/firearm and I think that’s so cool

[royal blaze]

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

[fallen zephyr]

Fighting Gjall is much easier with either a fire-resistance mead, or staying close to a body of water / fighting in the rain.

[paper marsh]

Oh if specifically talking moder, then yea pretty sure sword and knife doesn't keep up with fang spear, bc they get their damage split into spirit. Flesh rippers I think potentially have better dps, but the hitbox is hard to hit her with

[hot fern]

we were specifically talking about the spear situation, but i would also recommend fire mead in general, of course

[near kayak]

👍 truuuue

[daring sinew]

Spears are kinda wierd. It’s very hard to hit anything that’s very close

[hot fern]

one thing that kills me about spears though is just the fact that they pretty much become useless in 4 of the boss fights, so i always end up focusing on leveling other weapons to keep up in the boss fights and neglect the spear over time

huge bummer

[fallen zephyr]

Replying to your comment is much more about context than judgement; be cool my dude 🙂

[near kayak]

betraying your weapon of choice is a sin, son.

[paper marsh]

I'd say you can only hit anything that's very close, because they have a short attack range. Hard to hit things even slightly under you without the secondary attack tho

[fallen zephyr]

What happens when my weapon of choice is Sin?

[near kayak]

You tricked me!

[sharp bluff]

thats the core issue with spear
its dmg type is crap, yes
but even worse is not being able to hit stuff

[strange brook]

ummm

deep north update when?

[hot fern]

eh, if you get used to it, it's really not too bad

basically, subconsciously move to even ground, pretty much gets rid of that hitbox issue

but it's an extra thing 😦

[near kayak]

truuuuue deep north when? (i haven't been to the ashlands yet)

[paper marsh]

Yea I don't have much issue with spear hitbox. I prefer it to mace, since mace ends up hitting walls constantly in close quarters and splitting its damage

[azure yacht]

Let's hope the final boss is neutral to spears/pierce

That would make it 4/8.

And it's the last boss so pretty much the most important

[hot fern]

that would be awesome!

[strange brook]

dont go there

[crisp portal]

Talking about DN, how do you guys expect the "last" boss of the game?

[paper marsh]

Let's hope the final boss doesn't spam a lingering frost AoE

[azure yacht]

Ashlands already teased it.

But that's assuming is not foreshadowing to something else

[shy marlin]

Pretty sure it's crossbow opener in weakspot into bow spam (crossbow will one shot tho if skills are high enough)

[hot fern]

not even, spear is way faster

[azure yacht]

It actually should if we get a way to counter it

[hot fern]

given the right circumstances, that is

[shy marlin]

Nah no way, especially when crossbow will literally one shot it

[hot fern]

no it won't, at all.

[shy marlin]

it literally can

[hot fern]

i've played this game many times, you don't one shot it with a cross bow at all unless you have insane skill points which is not really natural gameplay

[near kayak]

Big naked man with ice club as a last boss

[azure yacht]

At low levels it certainly won't.

And getting high crossbow levels is...

[crisp portal]

did they? I have just found the Boss altar yesterday... is it related to the boss itself or throughout the biome?!

[fallen zephyr]

Imagine game bosses in a job interview... "So, can you tell me your greatest weakness?" - "If I'm honest, I think it's spears. Yeh, the stone heads are bad, but if I have to tend with a metal-headed spear? It's something I'm still working on."

[azure yacht]

Again, it's assuming is not foreshadowing to something else, it might not even appear in DN at all.

But it's one of the main reasons the ashlands boss and the biome are the way they are

[crisp portal]

hahahah I would like to be a sort of mutated polar bear or something like that OR somewhat revamping "yagluth" brainstorm of ideas (he is pretty unique Imo)

[near kayak]

bear is cool

[paper marsh]

Yea with sneak attack crossbow (or spear on normal I think) can one shot a Gjall. Was more thinking in active combat I think spears outshine everything else, except when you get high bow skill

[crisp portal]

Crossbows> bows or nah?! (both hypothetically 100)

[paper marsh]

They just have different uses for different play styles

[hot fern]

high bow skill is crazy, literal machine gun

[paper marsh]

I’d say bows are generally better, but I enjoy the stealth crossbow play style

[crisp portal]

I changed my bow for the new Crossbow, (not big damage than bow at the moment)

[shy marlin]

Crossbows really shine in the ashlands tbh

[paper marsh]

Crossbow for long range sneak, then melee or magic in active combat is great

[crisp portal]

Wait, my crossbow skill is low low, maybe lvl 9, what does it change when lvling up? bows reduce draw time.

[paper marsh]

Load time, stamina use, and damage

Not as drastic improvement as bow gets. Biggest thing is damage, reload time is fine. Stamina usage is super low anyways

High crossbow skill with a blood crossbow on sneak attack ends up being huge numbers tho, for oneshotting. Valks and such

[crisp portal]

The only thing that bothers me with crossbow (at the moment) is that its only for a one sneak attack (reloading mid-fight is annoying)

[hot fern]

how exactly does that work? i haven't tested the blood stuff much yet, but the idea i get is that it gets more damage the more hp that the creature loses?

0.2% per hp or something?

[crisp portal]

yeah me too

[sharp bluff]

it gets more dmg the more hp YOU are missing

[hot fern]

ah

[sharp bluff]

and its a lot of dmg

[paper marsh]

the more hp YOU lose. 0.2% per hp lost. So if you have 200 hp max, and you're currently at 50 hp, you get 150*0.2% = 30% extra damage

[hot fern]

gotcha

[azure yacht]

Might be worth testing.

Crossbows have much higher damage but slow speed and very low stamina consumption

Bows have much lower damage but high attack speed and stamina consumption

It depends on what you're after exactly

[hot fern]

how do you maintain that for sneak attacks?

[paper marsh]

with 3 hp foods and low hp you can get a lil over 60% extra damage

[crisp portal]

my character!? how does that work? I mean, people often prefer to be full health

[azure yacht]

Crossbows due have a much better sneak attack due to the damage difference tho, that initial attack makes a big difference

[crisp portal]

Seems pointless to use that

[paper marsh]

@hot fern get hit, jump off a cliff, eat right before shooting so you can't regen that amount of max health immediately, etc.

It's a risky playstyle. I think it's a fun one and valid, but lacking a little bit compared to other gems. Would like to see it buffed to 0.3% damage per hp missing

[azure yacht]

It's a ranged weapon, you shouldn't be hit at all

[hot fern]

interesting

[crisp portal]

But why you* would engage combat low health if your character also regens?! even with some ranged weapon or so (can it be merged with staff?)

[sharp bluff]

bubble

[paper marsh]

can work well with blood magic too, but then you can't do 3 hp foods so you're lowering your total possible benefit. At which point it might just be better to go for lightning gem

[sharp bluff]

blood weapons shine in multiplayer

[azure yacht]

I once watched a video of someone using a blood ripper one shot a Valkyrie with a sneak attack. They have 1500 hp

It involved being at base stats and then eating the three highest hp foods, the weapon will take it as missing hp and increase damage according.

Considering you reach +320 hp with that diet, it means you would get +60% increased damage

[paper marsh]

To get extra damage...

[shy marlin]

Problem with using blood strats and having 3x hp is you have so little stamina

[hot fern]

the idea they have is that they use it at the beginning, before combat starts, to one shot the thing basically

[azure yacht]

I stopped disliking the enchantment after seeing that, it made me think that they sure are good, just need thinking and know how to use them.

(But would still like them to increase the special effects based on lvl)

[paper marsh]

I did a calculation for crossbows once, can't remember what I ended up at but pretty sure you can push crossbow past 2300 dmg on a sneak attack

[crisp portal]

wow! 2.3k thats a 2⭐ asksvin almost

[nocturne wolf]

This is why ashlands doesnt have a knife

[hot fern]

personally that scares the living heck out of me, in hard mode i'm afraid to walk through the ashlands at any time, stuff hits hard

😦

[azure yacht]

Wound ripper consumes very little stamina

[shy marlin]

yes in that scenario but like, what happens when you actually have to do a real combat scenario, you're stuck with 3hp foods and a largely useless enchantment

[crisp portal]

I do 2 stamina 1 hp, or 2 magic and 1 stamina (invincibility is better than HP) xD

[azure yacht]

220 + 82 bolt so slightly more than 300 from crossbow.

A sneak attack would be like almost 1000 dmg, this is without the increased dmg from blood effect

[paper marsh]

Imma be honest, on hard with full flammetal armor, 3 hp foods, and a blood greatsword I felt somewhat confident. Mobs don't do THAT much damage with that much armor on, and with 3 hp foods you can stay fairly low health while also regenning fast enough to not die. In a bad situation you can pop bonemass and it's ez mode

[shy marlin]

Ye I'm on that same boat, except i just run 3x stam in melee and mage 2eitr 1 stam

[paper marsh]

I'm fairly confident blood effect only applies to the crossbow/bow and not the bolt/arrow, but can anyone confirm this?

[hot fern]

yeah that's the difference probably, i've never really used 3 hp foods, usually 1 stam 2 hp

[azure yacht]

Depends on the weapon, a brutal slayer shines more.

Maybe blood axes too, it would be high attack speed + high dmg

[paper marsh]

Brutal slayer 3 hp food doing jumping secondary attacks is great. Think I also once hit a 2000 sneak attack like that

[shy marlin]

Ignoring what i'm saying, you still have so little stamina with 3x hp food

Like who cares if you can do theoretically more damage than lightning enchant if you have no stamina

[hot fern]

Scales, it's completely viable, you have enough stamina to move around if you manage it well

yeah, you don't have as much running freedom, but it's definitely viable.

[tiny tiger]

Lingering stamina mead, tasty mead, stamina potions, good stamina management…

[shy marlin]

Well anything is viable in valheim, game isn't that brutal, but what's best is objective

[hot fern]

that isn't true tbh

[azure yacht]

Depends on the number of enemies as well.

Stamina is more important if it's an army as you might need to move around more, but against small groups increased dmg could clear them out more easily

[hot fern]

many times it depends on a person's particular choices and playstyle, one person may be weaker in the game with a setup while another person is stronger because they're more comfortable with it

[crisp portal]

Lingerings blocks other usages of stamina potions... I think that it is mean of the devs to do that...

[hot fern]

i don't really think the objective damage numbers completely solve the problem

[azure yacht]

A blood battle axe would've been great...

[tiny tiger]

I think their meant to be mutually exclusive to make the player have to prioritise and to limit inventory clutter

[crisp portal]

ashlands in general is a non-stop fighting scneario if you stop once to gather something

[tiny tiger]

Oh I may have misread

[shy marlin]

"expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations" -objective

[hot fern]

but you're not being objective about the actual factors

you're just taking one factor, calling it objective, and stating that it's the only thing that matters, when it's not.

[tiny tiger]

What is objectively the best way to take out an enemy?

[hot fern]

there are many factors that come into play on what the best thing for one player may be or another, and one is not necessarily better than the other because of a raw number, there's more in the game than just one attack

[vocal rivet]

Whilst taking little to no damage yourself.

[tiny tiger]

From as far away as possible, as quickly as possible, with as little risk as possible, so wouldn’t the green crossbow be the best?

[sharp bluff]

or red for that devastating first strike

[tiny tiger]

That requires being close to death which is risky

[paper marsh]

Green prob wouldn't be as quickly as possible. Blood and lightning has better dps

[tiny tiger]

Well it depends on how you weigh each factor, prioritising strictly as quickly as possible it would be red or blue

[shy marlin]

idk man, 3x hp food in ashlands tier puts you at 140? stamina, yea, have fun battling more than one thing with 140 stam

[hot fern]

no problem, done it

[tiny tiger]

Remember when 140 stamina was amazing in like meadows black forest?

[hot fern]

also 1x stam 2x hp foods, also done it. they're both viable.

[azure yacht]

Whenever you encounter enemies, taking them out quickly might ease the overwhelmingness significantly

[sharp bluff]

yeah, wiping out 1 or 2 mobs before they can properly gang up makes stuff much easier

[shy marlin]

deathless? on very hard?

[hot fern]

that's a different question

[shy marlin]

Not really

[hot fern]

on very hard, hp matters a lot less because you just don't get to take hits without getting staggered

[digital wave]

when youre breeding, can you get a 2* offspring from, say 2 1* parents? or only if at least one parent is 2*?

[hot fern]

it's completely different.

[shy marlin]

well with 3x hp food you can tank some things on vh on ashlands tier with flametal armor or w/e

[hot fern]

not on very hard

[vocal rivet]

Are you guys actually discussing mechanics or just flexing your skills?

[vocal rivet]

No, only a 2* can produce a 2*.

[shy marlin]

I'm skeptical of 3x hp food in ashlands and i'm just asking about it, not flexing skills derek.

[hot fern]

i'm not flexing anything, i've personally just been saying that there's not really a one-fits-all answer.

[digital wave]

ok thank you. im tryna get a 2* asksvin to get them breeding but so far ive only found 2 1* asksvin

[hot fern]

it's up to the player and what works best for them.

[crisp portal]

I like meleeing, however I've been liking magic much more in the Ashlands

[marsh mantle]

Offspring are 50/50 chance to clone "mom" or "dad". Can only get what you breed

[drowsy herald]

it is much better by a lot

[supple jasper]

looking at builds online, it just grinds my gears how unusable their stuff is

yeah, it looks good, but you can't cook in that kitchen

[brazen bobcat]

Anyone else like the idea of magical enchantments for the troll leather set, the root set, and the fenris set to bring them into late game viability?

[merry pebble]

why? we have perfectly adequate sets for late game

[brazen bobcat]

For different play styles for the late game

[merry pebble]

well i am not really sure how useful sneak would be, and if you want to run fast we have the Ask set.

also root harnesk is still pretty viable i would say, tho not as op as it was in plains or mistlands

[plush umbra]

anyone got a worldd

[merry pebble]

someone in #1024264966712340510 surely does 🙂

[drowsy herald]

where can i find the rune for fader location

[merry pebble]

in fortresses 🙂

[shy marlin]

Wdym so many enemies do pierce damage in the Ashlands

[plush umbra]

How do I fix random fps drops? I can run game with recommended specs, on lowest graphics, tried both vulkan n normal

[drowsy herald]

ty mwah

[merry pebble]

hmm, now that i look at it yeah, seems that most of enemies do have pierce 🤔 i am surprised that even twitchers and warlocks have it

[shy marlin]

Yea just gotta bring fire res and you’re chillin with harnesk in Ashlands tbh

[merry pebble]

i get the archers and warriors (tho for those i didnt expect that both stab and slash have pierce) but i dont get why skull thrown by twitchers and warlocks fire ball have both pierce as well

[shy marlin]

Yea… 🤷‍♂️

[drowsy herald]

does flametal respawn?
and does falmetal pillar goes back up after some time?

[merry pebble]

nope

i dont believe it does

[marsh mantle]

Is there a trick to them other than just "be faster" then? After almost 100 days in ashlands I've raided 3 forts and found 2 pillars. Only gotten about 60 total metal so far and if the pillars don't respawn that seems ridiculously wasteful

[azure yacht]

Raid more fortresses

[pliant hatch]

Ever checked the Dverger Outposts in Ashland? I got a nice amount of Flametal from them.

[merry pebble]

you can cheeze it by reloging, but its up to you if you consider that cheating

[steel lion]

Hello, is there any famous PvE friendly server in Europe that is open 24/7?

[pliant hatch]

I dunno. But you could ask around in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510
I'm sure they know more.

[distant field]

Is there a better wiki than the Fandom one (by "better" I mean "doesn't hang/crash on my PC/phone")?

[merry pebble]

are you sure thats the wikis fault? i never had any problem with it

[distant field]

Given that it happens on two entirely different devices, yes.

[vocal rivet]

It's the only official one if that's what you mean.

Fandom Wikis aren't great on mobile devices but certainly won't crash them.

[livid widget]

I don't have any soft tissue atm. Can anyone confidently confirm if black marble is immune to the Eit r refiner bolts, or does it still take dmg?

[humble socket]

if you get your black metal pickaxe to level 4 and bring the Queen buff, you can mine a chunk of flametal in two swings. If you have a friend help, you might be able to pick it clean and come away with about 60 metal from the one pillar. Pick one that is close to the edge of the lava, OR just plan to recover your body after you sink into the Lava, just like Arnold in Terminator 2.

[fringe oak]

So I've been playing Ashlands for several hours now and I feel that something is missing in terms of it's biome.

It almost feels empty despite having stuff all over. For instance, the ruins are rather interesting, especially the large cathedral/castle ones, which I really like. But once I've explored a couple or so, I no longer feel like finding or exploring more of them because they're all empty, no interesting loot, no enemies, only some pottery shards and some berries, and that's it, something you probably have enough of after a couple of ruins.

The enemies there have gone from fun, interesting and cool new enemies to annoying, because there always seem to be horde following me even after I've killed a bunch of them.

Am I alone in this, or?

I love this game, I have so far spent *checks steam* 775 hours in it (~1500 in-game days) and I intend for it to be many more!

[merry pebble]

yep it is 🙂

[livid widget]

Thanks, I'll use some marble then

[distant field]

What I mean by 'hang/crash' is 'becomes unresponsive'. Like the browser throws an 'this page isn't responding' error. Happens on both my phone (ios/various browsers) and my PC (windows/various browsers).

[fair cairn]

thats pretty wierd
and here i have steam disscussion pages on android become incredibly slow and thats about it lol

[buoyant ether]

we cant build beams into torches anymore?

just stays red even wit le technique

[vocal rivet]

Can't say that's something I've heard of before.

[tight yacht]

Meaning I should make my magic crafting zone out of marble?

[merry pebble]

you can just encase the refinery in it

[tight yacht]

Is there anything besides the two crops that require being in the mistlands for?

[merry pebble]

but if you want to then yes, by all means

[livid widget]

We dug down and created a hallway from crafting area to a chamber we placed Eitr refiner in. Then capped it with marble to create a patio of sorts

one tile hole to access soft tissue port

earthen wall in the pit help contain the bolts too

[finite lodge]

is it pointless to upgrade the trollstav

[woeful yacht]

I built mine in a well-placed skull in the mistlands

[full geode]

Does anyone know how to use the SailingSpeed mod?

[merry pebble]

someone in #mods-discussion most likely does 😄

[finite lodge]

can i summon a troll in a putrid hole

[livid widget]

Is that a euphamism?

[finite lodge]

turns out you can summon one in there but its not very smart

[austere belfry]

my first attempt at cooking resulted in charcoal

[foggy glacier]

That's always how I find out signs exist.

[tight yacht]

can you post in building screenshots?

[radiant umbra]

are bosses able to be parried?

[foggy glacier]

yes, but most of them can't be staggered, so there's little point.

[radiant umbra]

hm

so for the Queen or smth would it be better to use the2H sword vs. a 1h sword + shield

[hidden gorge]

take both. when something breaks from durability, just switch to the other

[paper marsh]

Just depends which one you like best

[radiant umbra]

true

[buoyant ether]

i founda rly good guide on round roofs earlier today but cant find it again q__q

[tight yacht]

are there any big mistlands areas? i feel like all of these are just tiny patches

[shy marlin]

try to go east/west if you want some big mistlands spots

[tight yacht]

why those directions

[shy marlin]

North/south are covered by the two last biomes

[tight yacht]

ah yeah that makes sense...ok ill go east since im already close tothat edge

[vocal rivet]

Only at the extreme ends.

[shy marlin]

Yes, but just by looking at various random seeds you'll always see big mistlands in the east/west, while they can happen in the north/south areas, they're not as common.

[tight yacht]

is it based on distance to the center?

its not based on latitude right

[vocal rivet]

Mistlands only spawn from 5900 to 1000m from the centre but the island size is down to your seed.

[tight yacht]

ok then yeah the sides should be the best

[livid widget]

I posted a pic. You can't see behind me, but there is also a 1 tile hallway behind me that connects to our main crafting area.

[tight yacht]

looks like a lot of black marble for a room that only has one thing in it @livid widget

although maybe im just a scrub that doesnt have that much

[livid widget]

Eventually there will be 2

[tight yacht]

ah ok that makes sense

i still have no idea how the crafting stuff works for mistlands so idk how much space i need or if i should make a new base in mistlands or what

[livid widget]

We put our main base near a bunch of ML stuff and it's a short sail to Ashlands.

very far south. But it's splitting a border of BF and Plains.

[tight yacht]

is it worth making a base in ashlands?

[livid widget]

I don't know. We are assuming not, but maybe

[random holly]

is there a way to make my pings visible to other players

[tight yacht]

mistlands just seem so annoying to traverse

[livid widget]

yeah we only have a very small farming base in ML

[random holly]

on pc

[livid widget]

We just portal betweeb it.

[buoyant ether]

i think i fucked my megahut up, idk if theres even a way to make this many sided round thingie work, like i mean the roof

[tight yacht]

plus ive got a massive plains base already so idk if i want to take the trouble to build something nice in mistlands...sounds like there arent even ore in mistlands so why bother doing anything besides a farming outpost there

all the stuff takes black metal

[livid widget]

There is some iron and copper there

[buoyant ether]

i wanna cry 😭

[livid widget]

But again, pretty short sail.

[tight yacht]

yeah but i dont need copper or iron

i farmed the shit out of the prior biomes while i was in plains

idk, is there a compelling reason to put a base in mistlands or ashlands?

[craggy timber]

Ashlands for sure

[buoyant ether]

how many sides can a rounded build have at most ? 12 ?

[tight yacht]

why ashlands?

[unique onyx]

one way to put a roof on circular buildings is to build a pole up from the center out of iron wood or what not then build down from that. after the roof is connected you can demo the original pole if you plan for it

[craggy timber]

Quick access with a portal

[buoyant ether]

but if my circular building is like 15 sides?

[tight yacht]

im staying plains just because it seems like needle arrows are still really good, and you dont get nasty raids while there (gjall raids only happen in mistlands?) and you get good visibility with lots of area

[craggy timber]

You dont need to move everything, just make a fortified base in ashlands so you can safely teleport there

[tight yacht]

so an access point more than a base

mistlands, a farming plot, and keep your main base (max comfort, crafting areas, etc) in the plains?

[craggy timber]

and put workbenches in the ground aroudn your base to avoid being spawn killed when you die to retrieve your body

[buoyant ether]

can a build work if it has 15 sides ?

[craggy timber]

They really camp around your base in ashlands

[buoyant ether]

15tagon

[tight yacht]

so build a fortress in ashlands just to protect your access portal? is there any ashlands specific stuff that make it worth having more than an armored portal?

[craggy timber]

Hmm, not really

You do need it fortified as there are plenty of mobs that will wipe your base

[tight yacht]

is black marble the best building material once you get it? better than stone?

[craggy timber]

fortified could be a moat with a wall

[tight yacht]

i have that on my plains base

[craggy timber]

At that stage, yes

[tight yacht]

just because its immune to eitr sparks or is it objectively stronger

[craggy timber]

best 'wall' is a moat tho

[tight yacht]

yeah for an actual defensive structure, the invincible dirt is always the best

[craggy timber]

Haha yuup

[tight yacht]

uhg...decisions decisions....i think i need to make a new permanent mistlands-adjacent base further south unfortunately

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t make walls because they stop me from killing everything. If I can’t kill everything, I’m not getting all the resources from a raid.

[craggy timber]

You use raids for resources?

[tight yacht]

you can still kill everything, all a wall does is ensure they die where you want them to. and that they can only damage what you want them to

i still get raids and i still go out and kill them. its just that a wall stops them from ruining your base before you get to where you want to fight

[nocturne wolf]

they can be very helpful if they aren’t something useless like a skeleton raid

[craggy timber]

you can even put workbenches (spawnproofing) everywhere except for one spot in your render distance so you can easily kill the 'raid' there

[tight yacht]

thats what i do with campfires

i think they look a little less goofy than crafting benches

[craggy timber]

I just bury the workbenches, that way they dont get wrecked

And no eye sores

[tight yacht]

mine get destroyed if they are underground?

i tried pickaxing the ground then leveling the ground up to cover it and they would get destroyed

[craggy timber]

ye just have a pixel of the workbench sticking out

as long as they are clipping the ground, they dont get destroyed

[tight yacht]

oh interesting...even the smallest pixel will work?

[craggy timber]

For me it did

[tight yacht]

i think next run im going to spend more time trying to find a plains/mistland combo base that i can build once that spans both biomes

build order will be meadows base -> plains bordering mistlands -> ashlands outpost

[austere belfry]

anyone know why i seem to be randomly being poisoned near a half destroyed house in the meadows? i can't see any visual indicator of whats doing it

[tight yacht]

beehive

[craggy timber]

I usually just make a simple outpost in mistlands, you dont really need to transport non-teleportables all that much

[tight yacht]

look in the rafters of the abandoned house and shoot it with an arrow. that lets you collect the queen bee that lets you build your own beehive at base which generates honey which you will need all game for various things

[buoyant ether]

i think im too stupid to make any builds in this game

[tight yacht]

yeah but i think the access to misthares that die either from traps or baase defenses (or me just shooting them when i see them) will be worth it

although on the other hand, gjall raids...

those dont happen unless you are in the mistlands biome right

[pulsar mortar]

Are flametal ores always in lava near fort? We found it for a second time

[austere belfry]

oh thank you. Does only an arrow work to collect the queen bee?

[hidden gorge]

no, anything works. arrow is just safer generally

[tight yacht]

nah you can destroy the supporting structure, or hit them directly with anything

[livid widget]

I think you can hit it if you can reach

[vocal rivet]

No, but it's the best way to avoid being poisoned.

[livid widget]

Any trick to clearing out land below water for boats

the tide drives me nuts.

[tight yacht]

wait till low points in the waves and pickaxe it : /

or use fly devcommand and pickaxe that way

[livid widget]

what command

[tight yacht]

devcommands then fly

[unique onyx]

build on a river so there's no tides

[fair cairn]

you cant be worse than me, i just build a big barn, thats it
looks terrible but it does what i needs it to do

[tight yacht]

are ashlands one giant continent?

[tiny tiger]

/ grouping of islands yes

[tight yacht]

but not a lot of sailing from one to the next really

more like the plains in that once you find the biome you really get all you need from one or two?

[unique onyx]

except for the fancy sword possibly

[tiny tiger]

yeah pretty much from what I’ve heard it’s best to sail towards centre that’s usually the biggest island

[paper marsh]

Tbh a lot of people are complaining about the amount of resources in Ashlands. If you go to the bottom middle of the map you can prob get all you need for a solo player without sailing tho

[tight yacht]

has anyone built a legit endgame base in the mistlands?

[tiny tiger]

Is it worth?

[tight yacht]

thats what im still debating

[tiny tiger]

Afaik you have to deal with gjall raids and not being able to see fuck all lol

[tight yacht]

the terrain looks cool, and its needed for farming the biome plants

and there are lots of areas that are mist-free, or you can use wisp torches

and chickens dont require a ton of space

[unique onyx]

i think a lot of people just take over a dwarf tower or the queens base area

[tiny tiger]

I’ve got a nice little slice of plains right next to my queen and a fairly large mistlands connected to it and I feel like that’s probably the best way to go

[livid widget]

Just build an outpost with a farm.

Portals.

[tiny tiger]

You get plains tier mobs defending you

[tight yacht]

yeah

[tiny tiger]

Deathsquitos picking off hares

[paper marsh]

Thousands of people, I imagine

[livid widget]

I can't imagine our current base in mistlands. It would suck stumbling around blind the entire time

[tight yacht]

you can use wisp torches to secure the area

[tiny tiger]

The chance of finding a nice outcropping of mist free mistlands is slim too

[tight yacht]

do you ever get access to the dverger-tier spikes? do those make any difference?

[livid widget]

Seems like the torches are localized

[tiny tiger]

If there was a later tier of wisp torches for mistlands I’d consider a proper mistlands base

but the ones you get initially suck for anything other than making trails

[tight yacht]

they kinda do dont they

[livid widget]

They really need a way to upgrade building pieces

[tight yacht]

yeah thatd be nice

the only downside to not living in the mistlands is not getting hares passively i guess

[tiny tiger]

Plains mistlands edge base

[tight yacht]

ill see if i can find an appropriate spot. does the gjall raid only happen if you are actively in the mistlands at the time?

[unique onyx]

sometimes you can just put spike walls out in the right spots around your outposts and they kill themselves when you go to gather

[tiny tiger]

I’m not sure if the gjall can come over to the plains or how that gjall raid works tbh

All I know is I hope I don’t get it

[paper marsh]

I’d say they’re fairly common

[paper marsh]

Ballistas do great against it

[tiny tiger]

Yeah but one you could make a decent base on?

[tight yacht]

ive found a fantastic island chain in the mistlands that has everything i could want for a base

but there is also an itty bitty tiny little patch of plains sandwiched between two large mistlands areas that could also work

[paper marsh]

Prob depends how picky you are. The areas I find are plenty large enough

[tight yacht]

being in the plains would stop the gjall raid but im also fine with ballista as an option and basing on the island chain

the jagged peaks seem like i could make some cool stuff on them

[tiny tiger]

have you been to both areas or found this on the map generator?

[tight yacht]

been to both areas so admittedly im seeing a thin slice of it on the map

not sure what the bigger picture is

[tiny tiger]

I think the island chain could be a better option just because you could ferry large amounts of resources over to your base

Longship and mistlands actually go pretty well together I find it frustrating with the Black Forests rocks and swamps lowland to navigate

Mistlands pirate vibes

[tight yacht]

thats true, plus i think the jagged rocks look cool and my understanding is that eventually i can get a cape that lets me float/fly, so having a launch point off that would be sick

plus i already build a giant spire house thing on one of the stone pillars in the plains so thats kinda my vibe

[tiny tiger]

IMO cape should be your no1 priority especially if you rocking maxed padded / black metal gear

[tight yacht]

i need to find more black cores i think

idk how to craft the cape but i only have 3 cores so far

[tiny tiger]

I don’t remember whether you need 5 total or 10 but once you have 5 or 10 you can deconstruct the buildings you need just to get the cape initially

Like if you had 5 surtling cores alternating with the kiln and smelter

[tight yacht]

yep i read that, seems janky but i get it

[livid widget]

A tall base connected by some of those rock spires could be pretty cool

Better visibility up high, as well. And you could build an entry with a portal to zip up and down.

[tiny tiger]

I wonder if it would ever be feasible for them to add caves and coves

A Viking pirate cove in the mistlands would be dope

[tight yacht]

it could be a rock overhang, but not with the dirt as they have now

heightmaps in games are only 2d, so no tunnels

[tiny tiger]

The system of blocks works similar to Minecraft no?

[tight yacht]

nah their voxel system is a lot more data than the minecraft blocks

[vocal rivet]

Valhiem works nothing like Minecraft.

Considering mistlands already have a dungeon and a pirate cove would make no sense in mistlands in the first place...

No

[tight yacht]

its not impossible but it would take a massive rework of their existing system and would likely force out lower end hardware and memory systems

[tiny tiger]

a pirate cove as in player built base in a cove a naturally generating sheltered bay

[tight yacht]

anything that is overhangs would need to be something like the stone spires or ore nodes like they have

so they could do it but it would take some work on the worldgen stuff

[azure yacht]

That's technically already a thing considering the way mistlands can generate

[tight yacht]

ive seen some rock overhangs in mistlands already that could kinda-sorta be turned into that

[azure yacht]

Especially archipielagos

[tiny tiger]

Mistlands gives me very tropical vibes tbh

[tight yacht]

reminds me of japan

bonsai trees, little dverger shrines

[tiny tiger]

Yeah I see what you mean

[tight yacht]

ok so i need to find one of those island sections with plenty of dirt area for farming, and a big spire that is also close enough to the mainland that i can cape over

ideally something kinda close to the ashlands too so i can immediately start hitting that area when the time comes

the other question is do i make this a legit base with comfort items and move all my crafting over there

[drowsy herald]

do i need the blast furnace to smelt flametal?

[tight yacht]

is there anything mistlands-tier that replaces the needle arrow?

[tiny tiger]

Carapace arrow I believe?

[tight yacht]

ok so i dont need the plains for mosquito farming

do i need barley or flax for anything mistlands or post mistlands?

[vocal rivet]

Barley yes, flax no, I think.

[azure yacht]

It's the only way to smelt flametal

[shadow rivet]

im very new to the game and I didnt watch any videos about it
is this a horror survival game?

[livid widget]

not horror

[tight yacht]

wouldnt call it horror but it can get intense

[livid widget]

rpg survival

[shadow rivet]

alr lit

I think I may be having some success with the old vineberry cultivation...

[shadow rivet]

I played 30 mins yet and rn I dont feel very confident walking at night in the forest

[livid widget]

That kinda stays true through the entire game.

[tight yacht]

night time can be nasty in most biomes

[distant field]

It took wasting about half a dozen seeds, trying to get some established. But I have (had) a slow but steady supply of both berries and seeds.

[shadow rivet]

I still have no idea what type of monsters I can find and it makes me anxious

[distant field]

Anxious is good.

[shadow rivet]

sometimes

the build system is very cool

[distant field]

But, stick to the starting meadows area until you have yourself established with a small base. You'll soon be venturing further out and before long nothing the meadows can throw at you, under normal circumstances, at any time of the day or night, will bother you.

forget trying to mine solo

[livid widget]

Why can't you mine solo?
