[craggy kettle]

as well as berserker axes

durability is way too low cause they are lv2

[dense comet]

As long as the stats are there why does the level matter?

[craggy kettle]

umm.. higher durability with next level?

[nocturne wolf]

You can get a flametal weapon to level 3 for increased durability if you don’t use gems

[dense comet]

🤷🏼‍♀️ the stats are better than older stuff so the level doesn’t much matter imho. Most likely we will get a piece that will upgrade old stuff and new stuff that’s yet even stronger than this.

[plush halo]

Valheim boardgame will probably come out before valheim is out of early access kek

[merry pebble]

you most likely go home to drop of stuff anyway, so durability is not really an issue

[fossil delta]

Probably. Board games are far easier to make.

[sharp bluff]

ye, unless your weapon and tool are the same item you rarely get even close to breaking it

[livid widget]

aren't you in mistlands?

[buoyant ether]

i am yeah

[sharp bluff]

lul...

[livid widget]

how tf you make it to mistlands and never make bronze? 😮

[buoyant ether]

i forgot how to 😭

[sharp bluff]

2x copper, one tin

[buoyant ether]

its been like 2 weeks since i made bronze

[livid widget]

I see

[fossil delta]

There are a ton of recipes to remember. Far too many to remember.

[sharp bluff]

you can always check your crafting stations

[fossil delta]

Yep. Some times I have to read through them 2 or 3 times to spot what I want.

I am watching this video of this person building their underground Ashlands base. I need to use dev commands for building. Sooooooo much easier.

[buoyant ether]

what kinda devcommans ? i would love to know some

underground base is the dream

[fossil delta]

There is a wiki about them.

[buoyant ether]

can u link me that ?

[fossil delta]

I don't think we can do links in here.

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

OR we can.

[livid widget]

nobuildcost has kept me playing tbh

[fossil delta]

I have done some massive builds. I should have used the commands.

[buoyant ether]

oh yeah this, i been looking at it but i havent found anything that helps with underground building?

the roof being the biggest issue

[fossil delta]

nobuildcost helps with any building. For a roof they used one of the massive Ashlands rocks.

[buoyant ether]

ah ok ok

[livid widget]

My only wish is that they separated the crafting from that

It's VERY tempting to plop down crafting tables

[fossil delta]

Thats the real reason I haven't used them. Temptation.

[livid widget]

Trying not to cheat the current tables

but cutter, forge, etc, for building we've been going ham

[fossil delta]

Once I finish this game with no deaths, then I will use the cheats and mods, etc...

A pretty cool base. I would make a number of different choices on the interior design, but its nice. Now I have to find who did the Ashlands song they use at the end of the video.

Dang. Its AI generated. Explains the odd wording.

[buoyant ether]

gotta find a big enuff rock for an ug base

is ashlands mandatory to build a base into ?

[fair cairn]

i mean, no biome is mandatory to builda base on

[livid widget]

Dvergr's must die

[buoyant ether]

well i was told plains/mistland cuz farming

[fair cairn]

yea farming dont require a entire base, though farming in ashlands may need more than a normal farming outpost

[buoyant ether]

am considering if i should waste my time once more and go build under elder altar for a final base, then use the others for farming

[thorn wren]

I'd say it's honestly not worth it to build an ashlands farm. I mean if you just want to, sure. But you get more than enough herbs just running around

[jade snow]

fenris set plus askvin cloak, jesssssus

[ornate sigil]

Viking to zoomzoom

[buoyant ether]

ive spent so much time just learning simple building id yeah love NOT to build anymore

at most the underground spot

[thorn wren]

Ha, you're probably good at it by now though so those structures should be practically building themselves!

I just do a little fence around my Plains farm with a tiny building for the portal

In mistlands i find a good Dvergr structure and put the portal in there then level outside of it for the farm

[languid vessel]

have infested mines changed?

[thorn wren]

In ashlands just fine a ruin with a ton of vineberry, place portal in it and pick up all herbs as you go. You're very unlikely to run out of any

[languid vessel]

all im finding are ruined dverger strongholds

[charred gale]

Ashlands new patch🫶🏼

[heavy frost]

anyone running around in the swamps ?

[livid widget]

Nah

[languid vessel]

even at mistlands, i still hate the swamps

[craggy mason]

I find swamps kinda pretty when you remove the forced rain and atmospheric effects

[nocturne wolf]

Swamps combat is great but the grind is too much

[craggy mason]

There should be a way to rid a part of a biome from these forced effects, just like I wish we could remove mist from mistlands in more powerful ways than spamming wisp torches

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe shield generator should push the mist away?

[craggy mason]

The problem with that is that the shield generator itself is very visible

[livid widget]

itchy hole!

[craggy mason]

I feel like there should be some sort of "clear air" or "clear atmosphere" emitter that would clear the mist

[livid widget]

Carbon scrubbers?

[drowsy citrus]

Any asksvin breeder designs out there?

[vocal rivet]

Wisp lights do that.

[merry pebble]

also wisp torches 🙂

[craggy mason]

I know, wisp lights and wisp torches do that, I just find the effect radius to be too small. Of course, it should be small for these items as they are quite cheap ; but I wish we had a more expensive, perhaps late-game item that had that effect in a more powerful way.

Similar to how we finally got portals that let you warp with restricted items.

[drowsy citrus]

I'd personally like to see a 25% increase to wisp light coverage. I feel they are slightly underpowered atm

[craggy mason]

Also, littering an area with wisp torches is still limited as it simply adds up a lot of small spheres and doesn't even clear mist all the way up to the sky

[nocturne wolf]

Wisp fountains could keep wisps spawned at night to have them move around a further distance from the fountain at day, clearing most mist in a large area around them. Wisp torches would remain suitable for exploration because of the cost of wisp fountains and because the fountains only attract new wisps at night

[craggy mason]

Yeah for me it should 100% be a base structure / element that would require something such as a stonecutter or black forge at least

[heavy frost]

died in crypt

[thorn wren]

honestly, I find it really annoying to play mistlands without the Better_Wisps mod.
It basically makes it so you can spend ~120 silver total and a few dozen more wisps to double the radius (+20% per level, 5 levels)

idk, I find it really unfun only being able to see like swinging distance in front of your face (exaggerating)
even at doubled radius you still have severly restricted vision VS normal.

[bright hearth]

did they nerf ashlands spawn rates? i see ppl talking about it on reddit, but i couldnt find any patchnotes for it

[merry pebble]

in ptb version they did, patch is from today

[bright hearth]

i hope they push it to main soon, i got burnt out of ashlands fast just because of how exhausting it is not having any downtime to actually gather resources or explore

and there isnt much terrain you can use to break sightlines unlike other biomes

[livid widget]

Dvergr's need to die

[nocturne wolf]

What did they do?

[livid widget]

They pointed a weapon at me and gave me a funny look

Can you feed the pet skellies?

[merry pebble]

nope

[flint jetty]

if i jsut realized i've been playing on public beta this entire time... Can i switch it back to the normal game and everything remains saved?

[fair goblet]

I tried that. World saved, but not the character.

[vocal rivet]

No.

[lean storm]

Does anyone use the equipment and quick slots mod? And if so, when u die with armor in the quick slots, do you lose those items when you collect the tombstone?

[azure yacht]

No

[frosty cypress]

Odin i bessech thee. Giveth a 9 and 0 slot unto us that we may use it to slay our enemies

[obtuse oracle]

mistlands is misty

[fair goblet]

Yeah, I don't like the visibility of mistlands... didn't realize how much I depended on long-distance sighting until I couldn't do it...

[regal mural]

You might be able with mods and save it then when its released on normal see if some mods can use the buildings and stuff. allowing you to place and save building if i am not mistaken.
If you want, you can always switch and then spawn console command everything you need, even skill level.
Might take some time.
You cannot exactly transfer progress, but there are ways you can help yourself.
Feel free to ask more help. Dont listen to Derek 🙂

[fast raven]

Anyone got a vanilla server I could join? I'm getting bored playing the game alone lol

[left wagon]

I just got killed by a tree

[placid torrent]

do skellies from dead raise remain after you portal and travel around or do they despawn?

[frosty cypress]

they despawn in most cases. very occasionally ive seen one persist after traveling thru a portal. no idea why though

[low warren]

I must have wasted hours over my valheim career from the intern not fixing the grave looting situation with high weight / not stacking

[unreal bloom]

So, I know swamps traditionally have mosquitos... but this makes me want to cry. My Bonemass spawn is in the middle of a 200 unit wide swamp biome that form the coast of a large -plains biome, Bonemass is less than 100 units away the plains biome edge

like, look at this https://valheim-map.world/?seed=sErVrT9Uy5&offset=669%2C-4023&zoom=0.012&view=0&ver=0.218.15

how am I even meant to get there?

the first swamp I found was that patch to the north, I was able to land in the meadows biome below it and venture in with my ship safe from leaches

then the first marker I fond said bonemass was to the south of me so I started venturing sound and discovered that the plains biome was super close so I built a walled road down the coast

[low warren]

at least there's multiple spawns 😅

[unreal bloom]

but then the Lox busted down the walls and started camping the road

[low warren]

can't the mosquitos kill bonemass for you

[unreal bloom]

I mean... probably, honestly

they can two shot me if I stack the best food and armor I can get right now

ugg, my other bonemass options are super far away...

but I supose it would be worth it for a clean fight

are there any known tips for trying to land a boat in a swamp with out getting rekt by leaches?

[low warren]

worst case let them destroy the boat and then kill them and get the mats and rebuild the boat

[unreal bloom]

I suppose that would work the first time but I'm more interested if there is a method to build a safe dock there

[livid widget]

Try to find a neighbor meadows or black forest and build a small fob there

[unreal bloom]

sigh yeah, that's my current method but my other bone mass spawns seem to be isolated swamp islands

[livid widget]

Can you make portals?

[unreal bloom]

well sure

I found a flame giser I can get to farm cores from

[livid widget]

Find a big fallen tree near coast, land the boat, build a portal on the tree up off the ground. Trash the boat and pick up the nails

Put mats back at base and come back and kill the blob

Nails can go through portal 🙂

[foggy glacier]

Leeches won't usually attack the boat in my experience if you're not on it. sail up to a bit of land in swamp and hop off quick. Finish off the leeches and then build your dock.

[vast depot]

does anyone have a spreadsheet showing all the armor types and what materials you need?

[unreal bloom]

hmm, I haven't really played if two years but they destroyed a few ships I had sitting previously

but mabey that changed?

[livid widget]

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

[vast depot]

thank you!

[sharp raptor]

You could use the plains to help you kill bonemass. Have the lox fight bonemass

[shy marlin]

Only tamed lox will fight bonemass*

[sharp raptor]

Ah, is that the case with all bosses then? Other biomes wont fight them?

[bleak flax]

Does anyone know the item id for the green light beam that is atop the fortresses?

[sharp raptor]

Green light comes from the chest with the bell fragments. Don't know the id though

[bleak flax]

found it, thx

[shy marlin]

Ye only tames will fight bosses

Fulings will not fight bonemass, draugr will not fight the elder etc

[fluid cove]

scoured an entire mountain and so far only found 2 dragon egg nests and 1 frost cave

0 boss marker

[tight yacht]

find a bigger mountain

[fluid cove]

🗿

also holy shit i need so much silver just to craft the wolf armor set

[shy marlin]

Silver is one of the fastest ore grinds, it'll be aight

[tight yacht]

what do i need to farm/breed through to ashlands?

anything from plains i need to keep farming? mistlands?

[fluid cove]

also ran out of iron

😭

[paper marsh]

I don’t remember many of the recipes, but if you want to go mage there’s definitely some mistlands sap used in some Ashlands recipes, so good to stock up on

[shy marlin]

Running out of iron is an all time classic I feel ya there @fluid cove

[tight yacht]

so ill probably need a permanent mistlands base and will i need to keep my plains stuff for barely/flour?

i guess barley wine fire resist is still useful into ashlands?

[fluid cove]

kinda wish there was an easier way to farm iron post swamps ngl

its all dark, wet, and full of icky stuff just to get some iron out

[shy marlin]

There kinda is? with mistlands aquaducts or w/e but ye i feel ya

[fluid cove]

on top of swamps having very finite resources in the already limited crypts

[shy marlin]

Can always bump up resource rate multiplier too when you're in the swamps too ig

[paper marsh]

Yes, but not nearly as much as you’d think. Not needed at all but can be nice

[tight yacht]

looks like a few of the endgame recipes still use barley flour

[fluid cove]

what are the best foods in mountains progression

wolf skewer?

[tight yacht]

wolf skewer, eyescream, sausage

[shy marlin]

Wolf skewer, eyescream, and onion soup, honorable mention goes to serpent stew if you have it

[tight yacht]

or wolf skewer, eyescream, onion soup if you wans HSS

[fluid cove]

picked up plenty of entrails from the last dungeon diving

[paper marsh]

Serpent stew, cooked serpent meat, and sausages honestly hits the spot for crypt exploration in swamp

[tight yacht]

serpents are so annoying to get tho

but they are the best food, yes

[fluid cove]

(can't believe these vikings found super questionable entrails in caves and was like "hey this'll make a great sausage casing")

[tight yacht]

is there anything that requires being in the ashlands to grow?

or to breed

[ebon oyster]

man i really need a cultist trophy 😔

[thorn wren]

I know vineberry can grow in meadows but I dunno about the other 2 herbs, fiddlehead and whatever the other one is are abundant so I never saw any need to make a farm

[slender rover]

You can't farm fiddleheads or smoke puffs

[tight yacht]

so nothing actually needs to be in ashlands to grow? only mistlands/plains base needed for endgame farming/breeding?

[burnt glen]

Yes

[tight yacht]

is there any reason for a permanent ashlands base

[burnt glen]

None come to mind

[tight yacht]

thanks for the info

[rain flare]

Legit zero reason to setup shop in Ashlands - I’d only do it if I loved the lava

And I don’t 😂

[tight yacht]

im guessing its better to just move whatever animals need to be tamed from there, out of there

[burnt glen]

You might set one up when arriving there so you can run back to it when being chased by mobs and whatnot, but that’s about it.

[rain flare]

I like the ocean stacks in the Ashlands sea though, so I’d be tempted to make a base there

[burnt glen]

They lay eggs so you could breed em and just portal the eggs to your main base.

[tight yacht]

oh thats way easier

[ebon oyster]

cleared 6 caves so far no cultist trophies yet 😦

[rain flare]

Cultist trophies are hit and miss

Friend and i looked for about a week without finding anything

Then I go play solo and find 3 trophies in an hour

[ebon oyster]

wanna give one to me? lol

[tight yacht]

are there things in ashlands that cant be teleported? should i make my plains/mistlands endgame base near ashlands for boating stuff back or can i just visit it via portal

ah so no need to actually move from ashlands and back via boat

so really i should build my mistlands/plains base to the east/west instead of south, where the largest sections of mistlands are

i was going south with the expectation i would use the base as a staging area for ashlands

[echo crest]

My friend complains how we cant hit enemies towards upward position. Like wolves if they are above us. Hmm. He is very annoyed. I dont have so much a problem, i use different weapons. I got much better armor anyway. Also I tend to use the mountain style fang or spear or whatever. We are at mountain tier, with some progress to plains

Complains that the engine doesnt support upward strikes. hmm

[tight yacht]

which is true, and the mountains are kinda notorious for this due to their verticality. i doubt it will change any time soon, and the solution is move to an area that ensures the enemies have time/positioning to be on your same Z-level

[plucky sonnet]

@surreal bridge can you get this guy banned woodro

[tight yacht]

i.e. if a wolf is on a slope above you, try to move sideways and back to pull it down and force it to chase you laterally

[echo crest]

I was thinking maybe straight secondary attack might help with some weapons

For example leeches are hard to hit with some weapons, but easy with others

[tight yacht]

ehh, it can, but that takes a lot of stamina and kinda locks you into that orientation until it finishes

[echo crest]

Hmm perhaps i just somehow have figured a way to better move out of those situationss, since i dont really die from that anymore.... jump a bit then fight. or run away or something

[tight yacht]

do the ashlands tamed animals destroy buildings like lox do?

[ember panther]

Yea, if there are enemies nearby

[restive linden]

So I started playing again. Setting up my mountain base. Anyone else have an issue where weird tiny white pixels of snow or something seem to come through the stone roofs? Well, stone floor blocks that can also be used as roofs. Didn’t used to happen. I had to put wood roofing over the stone to stop this from happening.

[tight yacht]

any suggestions for world modifiers? is there a way to increase both the damage you deal and the number of enemy spawns as well as enemy damage?

[eternal raven]

yes there is. increase dmg is the combat setting, for the spawn rate there is no setting for it but there is for a raid

[tight yacht]

im debating what kind of settings i want to make for a new world

[eternal raven]

go with hard

[tight yacht]

i want combat to be faster paced and higher skill without being grindy

i also want higher resource yields since thats annoying to deal with

[eternal raven]

well in the mortifier have it

[tight yacht]

i wish there was an option for crafting stations to still cost resources but things like raw stone/wood structures to not

[eternal raven]

there only resource rate setting

[tight yacht]

i see the no build cost, but things like surtling cores/black cores would still be nice to have as a gating item

that way i can go nuts with a build without feeling like i cheesed the crafting

since gathering wood/stone is basically a 0-risk endeavor that is only grindy

[eternal raven]

or u can just play with no build cost i guess

[tight yacht]

yeah but no build cost is for crafting stations too right

[nocturne wolf]

No build cost affects everything you can build, including crops

[tight yacht]

i.e. if i find any kind of metal or black core i unlock all the crafting stations at that tier without needing to actually get further cores or iron

[eternal raven]

but u need to find the item for the recipe

[tight yacht]

yeah but the grind for black cores is kinda defining for mistlands

same with iron for swamps

[eternal raven]

go with no build cost

[tight yacht]

sure the weapons that take iron cost the most but still

[eternal raven]

up the resource rate

[tight yacht]

does no build cost apply to just things in the "building" category, or all hammer items including crafting stations and their upgrades

[eternal raven]

everything even crop like blob said

[eternal raven]

the snow is like rain with floor it will leak. So yes to stop it u have to build roof

[restive linden]

That’s a shame, especially considering it wasn’t ever like that in my previous playthroughs.

[tight yacht]

is hard mode worth it or does it just make things more grindy

[eternal raven]

it increase the combat to hard and raid to more

[tight yacht]

i see that on the ui but idk what that means for gameplay beyond obviously more raids

more enemies in the wild? what i dont want is to do less damage/them to have more health since thats just extra grindy

if there were more enemies + more starred enemies and my damage stayed the same id be good with that

[ebon oyster]

i'm enjoying no resource building a whole lot... makes building a cool base feasible

[tight yacht]

or even my damage goes up/their damage goes up so combat is more about not getting hit/parrying

[eternal raven]

I like grinding

[ebon oyster]

i don't have patience for going out to a new crypt to mine more iron just to make a brazier, or have to set up forges all around that i need mats for... and then managing the inventory and everything

portal all materials and no build cost is pretty sick

[tight yacht]

i am leaning towards this but i wish the crafting stations specifically still required their resources

[eternal raven]

it cost nth

u just need the new item to unlock new building

[plush umbra]

would totally kill the game for me. no portals, no map, and I just haul entire boats of ore back so I don't need to go back again.

[tight yacht]

i guess the only time that really starts to matter is in mistlands

[eternal raven]

nope

[ebon oyster]

oh man no portal no map? i couldn't do it

i guess if i had a really long standing save or something

[tight yacht]

ive done so many big builds im just tired of it...i already know what it takes to hoard the resources to the point you can build those bases naturally, and it doesnt add difficulty it just adds tedium

id rather build my base as i like quickly and get to the combat

[eternal raven]

moving house ig

[ebon oyster]

yeah i have played through a few times now and i have no desire to spend a long time getting a ton of copper and tin for black forest tier

[plush umbra]

It's actually super easy. You can use the world tree to navigate, and the sun and moon. I have one primary base and that is it. I hate doing large builds also.

[ebon oyster]

now if i'm playing with other people yeah that can be pretty fun

[tight yacht]

i love doing large builds, i just hate how long it takes to handle the resources to do them

[plush umbra]

Also the vegvisir at the spawn circle tells you cardinal directions so you know north and south etc from the start, and boss vegvesirs will turn your camera toward the boss direction.

[tight yacht]

carts and carts of metal, stone, wood, taking them up one set of 100 at a time, doing some section of the build, going back for the next load

[ebon oyster]

I like a little homestead... smaller house with bed and kitchen, then a detached storage area, then a little workshop with my crafting tables, etc.

[eternal raven]

i test a little bit about the no map no portal if i find the swamp and plain biome that is near each other I will stay there from early to mid game and move when i go to mistland or ashland

[plush umbra]

Same here

[tight yacht]

if you run out you go through some portal to spend 5-10 minutes farming again

[open mortar]

i built my house on the circular ancient stone structure in the meadows

[tight yacht]

same

[ebon oyster]

what ive done is played up to the swamp/mountain with all settings on normal and then i turned on no cost building

[plush umbra]

Same

[ebon oyster]

in my latest playthrough anyway

[tight yacht]

i dont even make a new base after meadows until the plains

[open mortar]

same

[tight yacht]

mostly no point really

[plush umbra]

Early game I place the defensive walls between the stones. Later game I move the walls outside the stones and each stone marks a section of my homestead

[tight yacht]

dont need huge farming areas, dont need new crafting structures

[open mortar]

i dug a pit all around the base, saved me a bunch of times from "the ground is shaking"

[eternal raven]

i just farming at plain

more space for my home base

[tight yacht]

although if i want a real endgame base it needs to span from the plains to mistlands

[open mortar]

what do you mean

[ebon oyster]

is pit/moat/raised ground really the only good defense? i wanna do walls but they are so inferior to pit/raise grouned

[tight yacht]

then i can truly get all the endgame resources required all in one spot...even better if its near some roots

[open mortar]

i realized raise ground is op way later

[tight yacht]

i do both

[eternal raven]

when u get to the ashland u need to build a new base again

[ebon oyster]

i haven't done it honestly because it just looks ugly lol

[tight yacht]

endgame mead/food recipes require resources that can only be grown in plains and mistlands

[eternal raven]

yep but it just ugly but it helps

[tight yacht]

you can dress up the walls

[open mortar]

regardless, i built another pit around my plains base 😅

[ebon oyster]

but it's even better resource intensive i bet since you aren't loading a million stone walls

[eternal raven]

i just go wit wood wall

[plush umbra]

No lol. I have never used a moat or earth walls. Feels like cheating. I've never had a raid destroy my base. The wooden defensive walls are enough to stall creatures while you eat and run out to murder them.

Not once have I lost to a raid and I am in ashlands

[ebon oyster]

that is awesome

take em head on... odin would be proud

[open mortar]

but the security i feel while farming in the plains as all the lox struggle to climb and the fuelings circle me

[eternal raven]

that why we in valheim for the first place odin want to test us

[open mortar]

just those annoying 🦟 but the root armor does fine

[plush umbra]

root armor is so good even in mistlands

[open mortar]

yes

[plush umbra]

Easily one of the best items

[open mortar]

just started using it only for mistlands

[eternal raven]

i just run around the camp fire the big one

[open mortar]

nice strat

the other day in mistlands a ||seeker soldier|| mounted our boat, it was our first mistlands exploration, i lost my 💩

it was a 1 star too

[eternal raven]

don't forget enemy biome can fight each other i raid 2 goblin village before fight bonemass and man does it ez rn

[tight yacht]

alright these are the settings:
Hard combat
Normal death penalty
Normal resource rate
More raids
Normal portals
No build cost

[eternal raven]

yeah that nice

[tight yacht]

might go very hard combat and manually set the damage to 100% for me and enemies so i just get more starred enemies

and the combat damage is regular

[open mortar]

ive just got portals to allow ore transport, in my very first play through with a bunch of friends, we all had to distribute resources and ended up with having to grind so much that we just burnt out

[tight yacht]

i feel like very hard combat settings without modifying the damage is just removing melee as a viable option all together

[eternal raven]

i like to see enemy from different biome fight each other

[tight yacht]

since any parrying will just stagger you and getting hit is instant death

[eternal raven]

noo

[tight yacht]

id like to be able to at least fight things in melee

[eternal raven]

upgrade shield

[tight yacht]

based on the things im reading even that wont help?

[eternal raven]

i play on hard mode rn man

[tight yacht]

even fully upgraded shields will almost always insta-stagger you

im talking very hard mode not regular hard

[eternal raven]

yes

my lvl 3 bronze shield can still parry draugr 2 star

[tight yacht]

on very hard?

[eternal raven]

yes

I just playing on it just to prepare for hardcore

[tight yacht]

idk the math aint mathing here

[eternal raven]

very hard combat ik what u meant

[tight yacht]

very hard = 200% enemy damage
draugr 2 star = 96 slash, 30 chop, x2 makes those 192 and 60
lvl 3 bronze buckler max block armor on a parry at 100 skill is 105

how do you survive that without getting rocked, seems like they would instantly break the armor

they are almost tripling the max block armor of a parry

[eternal raven]

idk

maybe it a bug or sth

[tight yacht]

150 armor for a lvl 3 iron buckler at 100 block skill

[eternal raven]

let me go test again

[tight yacht]

idk if the damage a draugr does is 192+60 or if it doesnt apply the chop damage, but i would expect you need at least 192 block armor to absorb the hit?

maybe im misunderstanding how a block works tho idk

[eternal raven]

more health help with blocking but idk

[buoyant ether]

ive barely seen serpents at oceans, is there a guaranteed way of spotting them ?

[plush umbra]

you can't block later on very hard even with a maxed shield to parry or tower shield

[plush umbra]

only spawn in ocean, 5% chance at night and storms, so max is 10% chance

[buoyant ether]

okay what other foods might be ideal to get when in mistlands ?

im still surviving mostly off of plains food and seeker meat

[plush umbra]

Those are fine for exploring, work on cooking mistlands food for going into mines

[tight yacht]

anyone know how the global key damage modifiers work in conjunction with the combat difficulty world modifiers?

[buoyant ether]

can u make elder altar a raid proof base

[tight yacht]

from the wiki:
Each key has a default value of 100. For example to increase player damage by 50%, use command setkey PlayerDamage 150

but regarding the combat difficulty modifier:
Player Damage (%) Enemy Damage (%) Enemy Speed & Size (%) Enemy Level Up Rate (%)
Very Easy 125 50 90 100
Easy 110 75 90 100
Normal 100 100 100 100
Hard 85 150 110 120
Very Hard 70 200 120 140

does the combat difficulty modifier regarding player and enemy damage change the global key value directly and i just need to set it back to 100?

or do i need to do something like combat modifier: hard and set the global keys for player damage up from 100 to bring it back to 'normal'

[mystic gale]

Can you reset boss keys for a player instead of global?

[tight yacht]

not sure, unlikely since the keys dictate world-wide events

[plush umbra]

But in world settings there is a player-based raids setting, indicating some level of individuality is possible

[tight yacht]

maybe do both of those? set the raid modes to PlayerEvents then it separates them by individual

[eternal raven]

ok my bad I look into my world again and the one that parry the 2 star draugr is the normal hard

sorry. i play too many world so i got confuse abit

[buoyant ether]

wasabi basabi

is there foods i can make out of seeker meat or just eat it ?

and btw havent found anything to farm on mistlands yet, some blue shrooms tho

[eternal raven]

meat platter

[open mortar]

blue plants and yellow plants are farmable

and you need those + those meats to make ||magic|| food

• theres a bunch of other good foods

[buoyant ether]

but do i need magic food if im nto casting spells ?

[open mortar]

no

[buoyant ether]

OH YEAH how do i get a magic staff

i might wanna try that stuff out

[open mortar]

you will have to find a certain cave/dungeon -ish structure, and explore that

and you will have to find ||petrified bone SKULLS not ribs|| and mine its insides

[buoyant ether]

and is carapace armor good in mistlands ? yes ?

i have found a skull and mined it

[open mortar]

its base stats are as good as plains upgraded padded armour

so i didnt build it yet

[open mortar]

good, keep its goodies safe till you unlock more stuff

[buoyant ether]

and i have the eitr machine as well

[open mortar]

oh so you're there pretty much

just build the last table for staffs

[buoyant ether]

also, i kinda want to make an underground base but at the same time am tired of making bases 😫

[open mortar]

the ||galdr|| table

[open mortar]

i haven't built one yet

[buoyant ether]

i managed to make a long ahh tower which i enjoy and i got another functional abse as well so idk

[open mortar]

i realized after reaching mistlands that i can make tall structures using iron wood pillars

it would've been so helpful knowing it before 😩

now theres a giant raised ground popping from the middle of my house

[buoyant ether]

same XD

and its SO PRACTICAL, u can make it small but have fit almost everything

outside kitchen tho might be needed

[open mortar]

yes, but indoor kitchen also works if you use hearths i think

my house is just one giant room with beds, storage, kitchen, and crafting area, the above floor is a chicken farm, trophies, and portals

[buoyant ether]

i just meant they take a lot of space, kitchens

[open mortar]

yes

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[rain flare]

Meowning

[buoyant ether]

god morgon

[austere belfry]

is it normal for trollfish to suicide onto my shore

[open mortar]

free fish 🥳

[opal prairie]

We made an industriously large kitchen.
It houses:

• 3 hearts, one with 2 cauldrons on with all the upgrades, two with iron cooking stations
• 5 ovens
• 2 fermenters
• 5 blackmetal chests on the ovens where we stash the ingredients for certain foods in the right quantities
• 2 chests above the fermenters for "potion" ingredients
• 1 blackmetal chest for extra's

[open mortar]

sheesh

[opal prairie]

The only fish that don't are the ocean fishes but they will suicide onto your boat.

[austere belfry]

wild

[open mortar]

once my friend and i were sailing and weren't paying attention till one of us repetiviely took damage for some time, it was a puffer

[buoyant ether]

so wait fermenters arent forge upgrades ?

[open mortar]

potion makers

[ripe epoch]

I’ve never beat the game. I want to give it a go. I’ve gotten to the third biome… should I do a random seed or is there a great one to use for a fun first run?

[open mortar]

you make meads from the cauldron and you put them in the fermenters

[open mortar]

go random

a sense of mystery is always fun

[opal prairie]

Yeah all the fish jump onto boats but the puffer is the only "dangerous" one.
We started mistlands yesterday and I carry a few puffers with me to toss onto dvergr so I can get their extractors without the need to drag gjall or seeker thier way or murder them the normal way.

[ripe epoch]

If I go random will I get the new stuff still

[open mortar]

wow, that is some 🤓 strategy can't lie

dedicated individual

[buoyant ether]

i always put mine next to forge 💀 ofc

ooops wrong comment

[open mortar]

random seed will generate new stuff in the unexplored regions

[buoyant ether]

so should i use full carapace set or combine it with fenris

[open mortar]

up to you, many prefer fenris mobility

i like my protection with padded + root

[opal prairie]

No fermenters are used to make potions.
You make a mead or wine base in the cauldron and then put that base in a fermenter and some time later you will get 6 mead or wine.
Medium stamina, medium health and fire resistance are the ones I'm using in the mistlands now.

[open mortar]

i used to think potions take too much effort but now i can't journey without them

get out of jail free card

especially the 5th biome's boss 💀

that one took potions, he just wasnt ready to die

[opal prairie]

Yeah, that stamina can come in so handy to get away from a nasty position while getting away chug health and get back into the fray.

[open mortar]

stamina is a must in watery areas. Its really bad when things knock you back further into the water and you run out of stamina

saved me from a ||gjall + ticks|| attack in the 6th biome

[opal prairie]

Thanks, yeah I love finding alternative ways to do things or theory craft something and then test it out.
I still haven't gotten around to testing the greydwarf shaman, needle farming cage.

[opal prairie]

I'm doing full fenris, makes you a bit squishier but so mobile, going with fenris and root harnessk for pierce resistance is nice against seekers.
You exchange some speed with a bit more survivability.

[buoyant ether]

yeah i was doing that actually

might be better than carapace for seekers

[opal prairie]

Also full fenris comes with fire resistance and negates the feather cape's fire vulnerability, making gjall easier.

[open mortar]

can it save me in case i get hit from a seeker or soldier or starred ones?

[opal prairie]

Depends on your food, I'm running blood pudding, fish wraps and lox pie and can take a few hits from seekers, not too many but I don't get one shot.
For the moment I do need that buffer since I'm still mistiming my parry from time to time versus them.
If it gets too dicey I pop bonemass power.
Out in the wild I haven't died yet, infested mines is a different story all together.

[buoyant ether]

i dont think i unlocked that cape yet

[opal prairie]

Me neither, first have to find 5 black cores, make the eitr refinery and get refined eitr, for that you need a sap extractor to get sap and soft tissue out of giant skulls.

[buoyant ether]

we got all these armors but like root x fenreis carries 70% of the game 😭

what do we use feather cape for tho ? i just checked the stats but idk

[hot fern]

mobility in the mistlands

[opal prairie]

Not falling to your dead in the mistlands and getting to those high places easier.

[nocturne wolf]

You can jump attack from further away and jump over larger enemies

[opal prairie]

Stagger soldier, jump over and stab them in the rear.

[buoyant ether]

how do we tame animals btw

[wraith sun]

throw food at them and leave them alone (but stay in render distance of them

[buoyant ether]

the wisp thingie isnt spawnign wisps btw

[tepid pike]

it only attracts wisps at night, or in the swamp where it's always dark enough

[merry pebble]

also if they are too close to each other then some will not work

[buoyant ether]

do i have to make enemies of the dvergs

[opal prairie]

Get them in an enclosure, a pit is the easiest, they can't get out and other things find it harder to attack them.
Throw food that they will eat in the pit.
Move away so they go out of aggro, sneak closer and park your behind for the next half hour.

[obtuse remnant]

I'm trying Ashlands for the first time and my ashwood structure burned down. Is ashwood not immune to the combustion effect?

[opal prairie]

Only at night.

[merry pebble]

no, if you destroy the ward with cart or eitr discharge you can break stuff around and they will not get angry at you 🙂

[buoyant ether]

hmmmmge

[obtuse remnant]

Carts make happy accidents

[opal prairie]

Yes and no, the easiest way is getting a gjall or seekers to them eventually they will die.
The most funny way (for me) is throwing pufferfish at them and killing them that way, they won't aggro and can then loot the extractors.
The dangerous way is attacking them coldblooded and just taking their stuff.
The most dvergr friendly way is making a cart close by and ram the box the extractor is in.

[buoyant ether]

but do ineed anything else than the extractor

[merry pebble]

if you destroy the crates they have there you get soft tissue

[obtuse remnant]

The extractor is the most useful thing you get from them that you can't find elsewhere

I seem to be a magnet for Gjalls that end up killing all my friends anyways

[opal prairie]

That is the most useful thing, the banners hey have can give you red jute for decorating your own base.
Their forts can be broken down with a stonecutter after you destroyed the ward and gives loads of black marble and other stuff.
Their lanterns and beer mugs make good decorating and the lantern is also a good lightsource.
The crates will give soft tissue.

[obtuse remnant]

QoL request #34519 allow wisp fountains to store ~3 wisps so you don't need to babysit it

[merry pebble]

suggestions are always here ---> #suggestions 😄

[buoyant ether]

valheim might be the best survival game out there

i rly did like v rising too but on many parts it falls short of what valheim can offer

[opal prairie]

it could be even better with some QoL stuff which i hope they will bring in either world modifiers or a setting that can be toggled once we get closer to completion.

[obtuse remnant]

anyone know answer to this?

[wraith sun]

the sickle is pretty good for harvesting flax and wheat, but awful for any other crop

[buoyant ether]

theres so many things to do i forgor what i should be doing 🤔

tbw mist sword BANGIN

[wraith sun]

spear for the win

[buoyant ether]

ew

i rly dislike spear

goddamn.. there was a elder altar nearby but its too near to water

[obtuse remnant]

I fought elder when the arena was half on the water. It was fine

[opal prairie]

The other crops can't be harvested by attacking them, works only for flax and barley as far as I know.

[ebon hearth]

who's tryna harvest turnips with a sickle

[opal prairie]

Me and a few friends have a discord channel where we talk about the games we play and go into voice chat to talk while gaming together.
I make a to do list there.

[ebon hearth]

the imagery gives me a giggle tho, thank

[opal prairie]

Harvested and already sliced for cooking!

[austere belfry]

why do food stats degrade when theres still like 5 minutes left?

[buoyant ether]

damn the elder altar is a huuuuge area for a base 👀

[opal prairie]

They degrade over time.

[austere belfry]

i only see it when they start blinking but 5 minutes is a decent chunk of time. I though the blink was just a reminder to eat again soon, but you actually start losing stats ._.

[opal prairie]

Here is how the degrading works in short:
Duration remaining Effect remaining
75% 92%
50% 81%
25% 66%
10% 50%

So if you eat a food that last 30 minutes you will still have 50% of its buff when there are 3 minutes left.

[buoyant ether]

dtho making proper use of the space might prove a bit diff

[austere belfry]

hmmmm

thanks for the info

[novel breach]

Flametal spires submerges?? why take the thrill and fear man, they should've not remove that animation

[opal prairie]

I'm hoping that they took it away because of the sliding bug and that they will fix said bug and bring back the submerging.

[hollow crag]

Just tamed 2 normal wolfs pre-deer boss, and now I am taming a 2 star wolf pre-deer boss 🤣

Insane RNG

[opal prairie]

Nice, let the wolves devour deer boss.

[rain flare]

Noice!

[novel breach]

Oh I see, the sliding issue doesn't bother me and same effect for the leviathan's back

[opal prairie]

Yeah, but the leviathan just deposits you in water and not hot lava that kills you very very quickly.
Though I hope they catch both bugs.

[novel breach]

Hope you say is true to bring back the submersion. It gives more difficulty to mine resource in Ashlands since its the highest tier of ore up to this day

[hollow crag]

Nah that be too easy 2 star wolf probably will 2 shot the boss

Am going to breed an army of 2 star wolf now, and you know what's better, I did this in a coop world

[opal prairie]

Get enough deer trophies and summon again, so you can kill it normally once and see what wolves do to it.

[novel breach]

I love that concept of instant death (1-2 seconds) when in contact with lava. There should be consequences when mining flametal which is a pretty balance mechanic in that biome due the fact its almost hellish biome

[opal prairie]

I do as well, beware the lava. Though I should only be punished if I do something stupid and get in the lava.
It is something completely different being deposit in it because of a bug and you can't get out of the animation once you start sliding.

[plush umbra]

Man, the PTB changes killed my enjoyment hardcore. Just trying to finish the game ASAP now before my experience is nerfed.

[novel breach]

Too bad they kinda nerf the spawn rate in the last biome. Gods, those days of gameplay landing in the shore with an army of undead approaching you

[plush umbra]

More than kinda. And the static mining now is so boring.

I get it was buggy, but it was also interesting. The PTB just feels like another biome with a different skin now. Casuals ruin it again

[novel breach]

They might change the mining experience somehow like before

[plush umbra]

Hopefully they fix the issue and can revert the change. The rest of it would need mods to replace the difficulty though.

[opal prairie]

or a spawn rate slider in world modifiers ^^

[novel breach]

They might add the option for spawn rates and some chunk of details in regarding the diffuculty

[novel breach]

Exactly!

[plush umbra]

Until the devs say they might or will, I won't get my hopes up. The casuals ruined Mistlands too.

[azure yacht]

Only way I would accept a spawn rate modifier for ashlands is if the pre-nerf rates were the default settings

[eternal raven]

Yeah

[novel breach]

What do you expect? They're only few people to work on the game even though its a major successful game. Its hard to handle alot of suggestions and bug fixes request from all over the world

[plush umbra]

Default should be original dev intent, let others turn it down if it is too much for them and they need a non-standard playstyle.

[eternal raven]

I know I'm complain about Ashland spawn rate before but now man it just like meadow abit

[vocal rivet]

Like Meadows? LMFAO.

[eternal raven]

I said abit

[plush umbra]

Like most things in this game, it starts hard and overwhelming. Then you get a sense of it and understand how it works and get geared a bit. Then it becomes trivial.

[eternal raven]

Not like it

[novel breach]

The food system in Ashlands are easy to get compare to Mistlands. Damn rabbits won't stay put. Angler fish are hard to find

[vocal rivet]

In the sense that it's a biome. Thats about it.

[plush umbra]

I dunno, I tend to agree with Hmm. I'm an outlier and I know it though. I play on the worst sliders I can make and have died twice on my current world up to ashlands.

[vocal rivet]

Feel free to bring up PTB changes in the actual PTB channel by the way.

[eternal raven]

Oh yeah

[plush umbra]

Worth a shot, but based on the track record of Irongate, the casual changes will stay.

Guess I can start decorating my ashlands base with flower crowns and hugging all the mobs since it's basically a summer camp now lol

[eternal raven]

How many ppl complain about the sink flametal to make it change. It better with sinking

[plush umbra]

Most of the comments were just whining it was bugged and the deaths were unfair (valid). Just a bummer because this always happens. Biome is designed a certain way, then gets gutted later.

[eternal raven]

Oh yeah the sliding bug

[plush umbra]

Yep. That is a valid complaint. Dying to a bug is awful. But there are other ways of fixing it than just removing it most likely.

[eternal raven]

Should we change channels if we keep talking about it?

[plush umbra]

I won't bother talking about it over there, it won't change anything. I was just venting haha.

[eternal raven]

I remember my first complain about Ashland and everyone told me to gitgud and man now I want it back cause the point of new weapons in Ashland is to fight

[plush umbra]

The good news is it is not here yet. So we can still enjoy proper ashlands. Gotta get killing :p

[eternal raven]

Just don't change it but make a modified setting for ppl can't handle a horde

[plush umbra]

I'm close to finishing the game, so hopefully you can too before changes drop.

[eternal raven]

I already did but I want to play hard mode and then hardcore

And playing with friends feel fun in Ashland and solo man u have to become a real viking

[opal prairie]

Angler fish are actually quite easy to spot in my opinion, that glowing orb at their head really gives them away easily from a distance.
Hares don't like fireballs ^^

[eternal raven]

I just build auto fish farm😂

[plush umbra]

Almost done with my very hard hardcore run and it's been fun. Very slow, but fun.

[vocal rivet]

It certainly won't change anything here...

[novel breach]

Still the Ashlands food recipes and ingredients are much easier to get than Mistlands

[eternal raven]

My chief cook like 2 black metal chest of Ashland foods

[novel breach]

Asksvins can be breedable unlike hare isn't which is a big difference

[eternal raven]

Oh yeah catching the hare is hard af

[novel breach]

Yeah that's my personal issue why Mistlands foods are underappreciated the fact that they are harder to hunt Hare meats unlike Ashlands are hostile and will approach you

[plush umbra]

Ashlands is relevant Valheim discussion no? No need for the passive aggressive ellipsis. lol
The intent of the discussion was not to change anything. It's discussion for the sake of discussion, and clearly others feel the same way.

[eternal raven]

I just use fireball to kill it and last I did that I hit the dvergr too

[opal prairie]

Unless you have the staff of embers.

[eternal raven]

Sure did I like to auto farm stuff

[opal prairie]

Very true.

[opal prairie]

Spikes and traps everywhere ^^

[novel breach]

Hares move around annoyingly in a worst biome ever just the terrain itself. Angler fish on the other hand are easy to spot on but its time consuming the find a school of Angler fish

[vocal rivet]

But discussions about the PTB changes need to take place in that channel, not here.

[eternal raven]

Looking for a hare and then seeker come out of nowhere. Can't u just leave me alone and let me hunt god damnit

[plush umbra]

Ah, you are the resident channel police. Got it. The PTB changes, if it were an isolated discussion, would be discussed over there. Except parts of the discussion pertain to the game as it is now. It's not a purely PTB discussion.

[novel breach]

Hare should be neutral, won't run away to players & dvergrs except hostile creatures. They should stay put for easy hunts

[eternal raven]

If u use skelett it will always scare the hare away

[novel breach]

If not breedable then why not make the Hares behave on the spot or just roaming around not giving fcks to players and dvergrs

[azure yacht]

Or you could use the current tools to hunt them

[novel breach]

Mistlands foods are underappreciated unless they fix the Hare's behaviour

[eternal raven]

AND the mist really help the hare

[novel breach]

Ashlands foods are way more easier than Mistlands

[azure yacht]

Yes, typical animal behaviour.

"Hey viking I will just stay there so you can slaughter me easily"

Deers do it smh why can hares be just as nice?

[novel breach]

Regardless the tools, the mist and terrain gets in the way. The pathway of those Hares are annoying and unpredicatable

[eternal raven]

It in a mist

[plush umbra]

The game changes of the past, the current state of the game, and the future state of the game were all discussed. That is in no way a purely PTB discussion, regardless of whether or not the PTB changes were part of the discussion. Those changes are echoes of the old changes made and the trends of the developers and are therefore relevant to any aspect of the game discussion when it comes to balancing.

[novel breach]

You can sneak deers unlike hares

[azure yacht]

Ember staff, arbalest

[opal prairie]

I was lucky to have found an anglerfish spawn point I can usually get 4-6 there and if I wait a while they come back it seems.

[eternal raven]

If u got full run without using mage that kinda a problem

[tiny tiger]

Finally got the mist walker let’s goo

[craggy mason]

This

[novel breach]

Still its underappreciated. Fish n' bread was the highest stamina food tier before Ashlands. Still time consuming to get unlike stamina foods in Ashalnds which is easy

[craggy mason]

I snipe hares with my crossbow so easily

[opal prairie]

Yeah then hares become problematic to catch unless you put down spikes at certain hare bottlenecks.

[plush umbra]

Such a good weapon and it looks great

[novel breach]

If you're lucky when there's no mist or you built some wisp torches

[craggy mason]

There is a decently sized mistland we covered in wisp torches, maybe 30-40 torches ? And it's an amazing hunting ground for hares

[tiny tiger]

About to give give this thing a test run see how it fares

[opal prairie]

Very time consuming indeed.
I mostly use blood pudding for stamina, much easier to get and not that big of a difference.

[craggy mason]

Also you can passively obtain hare drops if you hang around the border between plains and mistlands, mosquitoes and fulings will hunt hare for you

[tiny tiger]

Prioritised feather cape and food then weapons now I’m gonna work on getting as much refined eitr as possible for armor and upgrades

[novel breach]

Mostly I used salads since the recipe is easier the fact its just farming

[craggy mason]

Is there no new fish food in ashlands

[novel breach]

Yeah I noticed especially deathsquito do the work

[opal prairie]

I'll be transitioning to that when we get our shroom farm going, haven't found a decent farm spot yet.

[novel breach]

I was looking forward to that since there was a magma fish when ashlands was still in working progress

[tiny tiger]

It’s a shame the mistlands armor needs iron and not black metal for example

Plains armor needed iron now mistlands too

[plush umbra]

Iron is easy to get though in mistlands

[novel breach]

So far no fishes but serpents only

[eternal raven]

New food with Ashland serpent?

[tiny tiger]

Easy enough it’s just having to transport it back through the time consuming stamina draining terrain

[novel breach]

Hope you got a perfect spot for that since Mistlands are mostly rigorous terrains, takes time and stones to level grounds for that

[plush umbra]

Stay in the valleys where you can when running it. Going up the rocks is too draining. If you can run the valleys it's faster and way less stamina needed. Just try not to get jumped by nasties.

[eternal raven]

It always find us

[novel breach]

Its a pain in the ass grinding for iron ingots. Blackmetals are mostly for tools, weapons and building purposes. I don't know why they haven't make use of it for armor gear requirements

[tiny tiger]

I imagine they’re saving it for the second plains armor set if they’re even planning on doing that

[plush umbra]

Because it is too easy to get black metal. They went back to iron likely for balance.

[novel breach]

I was hoping the serpent stew but no, just the cooked bonemaw meat

[opal prairie]

I might have found a spot but still need to check the area out more since I can't see far enough to determine if it is big enough ^^

[eternal raven]

Same my chief just like why it spawn so much but can't make a good food like normal serpent

[novel breach]

Well the only solution I have is to put a bunch of wisps torches all around mistlands to snipe hares

[novel breach]

Very easy to get among the metals indeed

[eternal raven]

Wait isn't there iron vein on the surface

[novel breach]

I'm thinking in the swamps area where only wishbone can spot on, am I right?

[eternal raven]

Yes

[novel breach]

I dont find it worth it thought, rather mine in crypts

Unless if you have resource rate modifier change then its fine to mine scrap piles on the ground outside crypts

[eternal raven]

I using the hammer and there a 0 HP pop up where no tree and rock

[novel breach]

Yep good alternative to spot hidden materials in the ground using two-handed blunt weapons

[eternal raven]

When I go find silver I use that and wishbone. It really help me find the vein more faster

[smoky quarry]

to catch hares, wherever i see many hanging out, i build a picket fence funnel like zone and place a few spikes on the funnel edges. Whenever i go in the area, they all run as per usual and get spiked. I find 5-10 dead hares there ever so often

[vocal rivet]

That's not a bad idea.

[smoky quarry]

i got like 300 hare skins extra...

plan on making a hare massive carpet once i remake my hall

[opal prairie]

Yoink!

[foggy glacier]

awesome idea. I just use wisp torches and practice with my arbalest.

[ripe narwhal]

Yo for queen I want to use fireball staff which armor do I make? The mage one or regular one for more defense?

[tiny tiger]

a dvergr just enchanted me with dvergr power?

I didnt know they were cool like that

[burnt glen]

I don’t think it does anything dawg

[versed parcel]

wait I found out in mistlands all of the bugs are resistant to physical damage
Didn't notice last time cuz I went mistwalker anyway

but in that case what's like
the point of the weapons that have no elemental stuff
like the skoll and hati

[tiny tiger]

Im pretty sure I was dealing more damage

[versed parcel]

I'm doing mostly daggers this playthrough and I'm kinda disappointed if that's the case
Kinda was looking forward to Skoll and hati

[plush umbra]

Melee weapons with elemental still work, like frostner and mistwalker

[tiny tiger]

If only the asshole loxes were as nice, theyve been destroying my mistlands forward base every chance they could get

[versed parcel]

Yeah no I'm talking about the melee weapons with no elemental

[plush umbra]

Many of those still deal white damage (normal)

[versed parcel]

oh
huh

[plush umbra]

A high level weapon and upgraded will still stagger them.

[tiny tiger]

Still a good weapon even without the elemtal

[plush umbra]

I landed in mistlands with a spear and was stabbing the crap out of them and it worked well enough until I upgraded lol

First hit normal, second hit staggered them, then they died.

[versed parcel]

Wait I checked the wiki
Shouldn't it be gray damage if they're resistant
Cuz they are resistant
or is resistant just the 0,5x with no color change
While very resistant is gray

but still 0,5x kinda seems like it'd make fighting them more annoying

[burnt glen]

Rapid attack, no speed penalty. I think it’s an excellent weapon.

[plush umbra]

I never found them resistent enough to stop me tbh. But elemental weapons of course will work better.

[versed parcel]

I guess when we get to mistlands this playthrough I'll go skoll and hati with a himminafl as a secondary then

Or maybe I'll try out magic too this time

would've been cool if the skoll and hati did elemental too though
one doing ice and another fire

[drowsy herald]

whats faders total HP?

[vocal rivet]

25,000.

[dry fable]

what would valheim look like in vr

[vocal rivet]

Except for their weak spots.

[azure yacht]

That's only soldiers and gjalls tho

[keen mulch]

Is there a precise size known for the size of the minimap when fully zoomed in?

[azure yacht]

10.500 meters from center to edge

[tiny tiger]

So let’s say 20x20m, the size of a chunk?

[keen mulch]

That's the full map radius yeah? I mean the little square minimap in the corner

[crisp portal]

Wait, the submerging mechanics of Flametal just got removed or is it on PTB yet?

[azure yacht]

PTB

[azure yacht]

The size of the minimap?

[vocal rivet]

Come on, you can do it.

[wraith sun]

too many players got killed by the submergning flame metal islands?? 😂

[nocturne wolf]

Flametal sinking was removed as a (probably) temporary fix to a bug that was causing a lot of deaths

[keen mulch]

Yeah, I'm trying to estimate ranges for spawnproofing. I know that spawns can happen up to 80 m of the player so if I knew the minimap was 200 m x 200 m when fully zoomed in (example numbers as I don't know the size) I could sketch out where my furthest workbenches needed to be

[crisp portal]

I like the mechanic, tho it can get quite desperating to get out once the mobs around gather on you, but the solution may be simpler. I hope

[wraith sun]

ahh the gliding off where you start levitating - had that happen abit too often myself

[crisp portal]

I think I know what you mean Render, I may believe that is 100x100 or something

[keen mulch]

I think it's quite a bit bigger than that as I can kinda see where I always see the furthest mobs spawning from my wall. My estimate is 400 x 400 m

Or 200 m from the player "radius" (its a swquare)

[crisp portal]

My bad, I meant 240x240

I think the wiki may provide you a great deal of info about that tbh

[vocal rivet]

Are you just guessing at this point?

[keen mulch]

Is that info on the wiki? I couldnt find it

[crisp portal]

Raid events are shown in a red circle

Iirc they say the size of that red circle

[nocturne wolf]

The raid circles show where the player needs to stand for enemies to start spawning, not where the enemies spawn.

[vocal rivet]

I think people are talking about different things.

[crisp portal]

Here: "NOTE: The event area (96 meters radius) is significantly bigger than the visual red circle (64 meters radius)."

so by the 64 meters of the red circle, you can estimate the size of the square zoomed in**

[keen mulch]

Yeah I'm not really talking about raids, I want to know the exact size of the area that the minimap displays

When zoomed in to the max

[opal prairie]

I'm also doing knives and I easily kill seekers and soldiers with my blackmetal knife and can stagger them with blackmetal shield.

[wise current]

Hi anyone wants to start afresh

looking for some players who are willing to start a server ?

[wraith sun]

sadly you won't get a new set of knives in the next biome 😦

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 has you covered.

[keen mulch]

The map seed viewer has a coordinate system via mouseover, so using that I'm estimating the minimap shows 340 m x 340 m. But this is very crude and I was interested in exact numbers. Nothing seems to be on the wiki about this

[crisp portal]

@keen mulch from this you can test it yourself in a creative mode.

[opal prairie]

The workbench radius not upgraded is 20, put one down and keep going till you have 4 next to each other that spans 80m from otuer radius to outer radius.

[opal prairie]

Zerking axes is what I'll be going for.

[wraith sun]

only issue is that your damage will almost get halfed due to not having trained the axe skill (unless you have, i hadn't)

[opal prairie]

I'm training it here and there, won't be as high as my knives but won't be too bad.

[keen mulch]

Ok if someone asks a question here and you don't know the answer, why clutter the chat with responses like "go conduct an experiment yourself" or "why do you even need this information"? Like let the question be answered or just leave it be

[wraith sun]

for me it would have been a drop from 95 down to 16 😅

[wise current]

can anyone help me with If I can create a dedicated server or just join one which has active players ?

[opal prairie]

Either #dedicated-server or #1024264966712340510 has you covered.

[vocal rivet]

It seemed like a good suggestion in lieu of an actual answer.

[crisp portal]

It is not what it is said, but the TONE used; we cannot send a toned-written message. I was trying to help. Either way, there is no official info about the zoomed-in minimap, But if you could enter the game in creative. Pinpoint the middle (a pole), and force a raid, mark the outer spots in the map with dots, then try to cover that with 4x2 walls. From that, you can double the wall with extended points. (I cannot wish I could try it now).

[keen mulch]

Sorry. Your suggestions are helpful., yeah Just a common attitude I find in some communities, people kneejerk reaction to unknown data isn't curiosity but defensiveness for some reason

[vocal rivet]

So you complained about a thing that's only happened elsewhere. Got it.

[keen mulch]

No, I see it here too.

[vocal rivet]

Where?

[wraith sun]

damn it feels good to 3 hit gjalls

[buoyant ether]

do yall prefer building with wooden or stone materials ?

[merry pebble]

i preffer wood

[wraith sun]

a mix

[buoyant ether]

at what lvl u can unlock first zerker axes?

[buoyant ether]

i feel like wood is more cozy and simple to build with, even when adding dpeth

[merry pebble]

well i am not really a builder to begin with XD so i stick with the simplest option

[opal prairie]

You need ingredients found in ashlands for the berzerking axes.

[merry pebble]

an lvl 3 black forge 🙂

[buoyant ether]

i spawned them in once just to try them out real quick adn then threw em to the bottom of da ocean

😅

[median plaza]

Hello fellow vikings. :)

[digital wave]

the asksvin mounts are kinda useless, i have a 2* one and i can barely go like 50 meters and hes already on the brink of death bcz the enemies deal so much dmg to it

my first one which was unleveled died instantly when it stepped out the gates

im not even trying to make them fight, they just get sneak attacked by a twitcher thats right in front of them and boom 400 hp gone

[ripe narwhal]

Should I use mage set or normal armor from mistlands to fight queen using staff of embers?

[opal prairie]

I'd go for eitr weave, more eitr means more fireballs.
If you have the staff of protection you don't really need armor if you are mobile enough and try not to get cornered without any eitr.

[ripe narwhal]

Alr thanks

[eternal raven]

do yall farming Surtling for coal or burn wood for coal? and which one better?

[hidden gorge]

whichever one you prefer

[clear comet]

I use mixed set, replace the mage helm with normal armor

[hidden gorge]

if you've got a cluster of 5 geysers nearby eachother, that can be pretty great -- but even then you might want to smooth paths/build a covered walkway to stay dry in order for it to be worth -- on the other hand burning wood is plentiful and you can easily control how much, at the cost of grinding for it

[opal prairie]

I do surtling farming, we have 7 surtling spawners linked with portals.
Go in one portal, take coal and cores, move trough next portal and keep going till you loop back into base.
Drop the surtling cores in the obliterator if you have enough already.

[wraith sun]

abit mixed here, depending on surplus corewood

[eternal raven]

i see thank for your answer. and i will go for the surtling farm cuz i got 2 geysers near each other

obliterator the core is a great idea cuz i got so many

[hidden gorge]

obliterator is terrible for efficient coal generation -- the resources aren't worth it (unless it's like excess trophies or bukeberries)

[tepid prawn]

I have 2 surt spawners within 12m from each other, got 6 blackmetal boxes of coal now and I also obliterate the cores (got 4 boxes)

[hidden gorge]

make stuff out of it? house frames, protective spikes, ballista bolts, whatever oh, nvm you deleted the question

[opal prairie]

Takes about 5 minutes for surtlings to respawn, with our loop we can practically keep on going if we take the time to stash the coal and cores.

For faster coal in total have a greydwarf farm in the loop and a killn near the end point, so the last stop is the greydwarf farm, you pickup all the loot.
Throw everything that isn't wood or coal into the obliterator and the wood in the killn and go for the surtling spawners again and keep going, the wood in the killn will turn into coal and you can keep on stashing all the unwanted drops into the obliterator and trigger it once it is full.

[tepid prawn]

anything you have an excess of that will not be useful now or later goes in the obliterator for me, including surt cores if I have a very high amount and a double surt spawner swamp treehouse

[eternal raven]

i never been to building category and that is alot of stuff u can make with it.

[eternal raven]

Alright the best advice and thank u

[hidden gorge]

yeah, surtling cores are also acceptable if you've got the farms setup and are done with fireworks

[tepid prawn]

I have decreed that 4 blackmetal boxes of surtling cores are sufficient for now (already got about 40 portal pairs on that world

[hidden gorge]

although... some sort of alchemy to transmute them into black cores... that would be amazing. even if its at a rate of 100:1

[eternal raven]

1 more thing is the coal u got from the obliterator is random?

[hidden gorge]

no

[eternal raven]

oh ok

[tepid prawn]

I think its 1 for 1 for trophies and 1:10 for the rest

[eternal raven]

ahh i see

[opal prairie]

Yeah we'll be making 2 portal hubs, one for frequently used portals, like the ones to the farms and points of interest that need frequent visits.
Another for lesser used portals like boss spawn spots, the sacrificial stones, harbors and abandoned forward bases.

[opal prairie]

Build the obliterator far from anything you don't want damaged, you could use it to kill animals or greydwarfs though.
To get 1 coal, insert:
1 Trophy (including boss trophies).
5 Ancient bark, Core wood, Fine wood or Wood
20 Arrows
10 of other items (including coal)

Better used the woods in the killn though except for ancient bark.

yeah far might be too strong a word.

[tiny tiger]

So first time experimenting with the staff of protection

Running 1 hp 1 sta 1 eitr with mistwalker and carapace/root harnesk armor and I feel completely invincible

Honestly once you acquire the feather cape and slowly get the ball rolling with mistlands gear it becomes really fun

I’m gonna go take on a infested mine and see how it fares in dungeons

[buoyant ether]

so how do i tempt a animal into a pit to tame it

[tiny tiger]

Harpoon and drag it in

Then drop some food and lose the aggro but stay nearby

[buoyant ether]

ion got no harpoons

not even unlocked

[tiny tiger]

Have you found any floating islands in the oceans?

[buoyant ether]

hmmm, maybe ion need em

uhm, like u mean the ones with barnacles?

[tiny tiger]

Another way is kick it in depending on the size, or make a board over the pit and delete it when the animal is on it

[tiny tiger]

Yeah

[buoyant ether]

ngl i feel like i could get multiple playthrus out of this game

maybe next time a server with others and hard combat

almost tempted to asap but i wanna finish this run

[buoyant ether]

ima try that out

[tiny tiger]

Ive got a little deathsquito companion with me in the mistlandslands who is constantly jabbing me so I just keep casting protection

Farming blood magic and exploring mistlands at the same time

[drowsy merlin]

Does anyone know where I can talk about game optimizations, I'm from Brazil and many people and even myself have had problems with this type of thing, a lot of lag when the server opens and the game doesn't stay constant at 60fps during gameplay.

even with good pc config

[buoyant ether]

how do i get higher eitr?

[drowsy merlin]

eating food with higher eitr, i think.

[craggy mason]

Agro it and make it follow you into the pen

[drowsy merlin]

the harpoon can help you with that if you have one

[west cobalt]

Guys, where can I read all the dreams? They are exciting but some are quite long and I can't read them all.

[buoyant ether]

now that i have buildcosts on i keep forgetting to bring materials 😭

like for example PORTALS

[vocal rivet]

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

[onyx anvil]

Where do I find the pinned message for the server dev commands?

[odd helm]

Best resource for all commands is in the wiki

Commands under 'admin commands' are available to server admins

[livid widget]

Do we need to kill the queen to get black forge to tier 4?

Seems stuck at 3

[odd helm]

Yep, need Ashlands materials for a T4 black forge

[onyx anvil]

Thank you!

[livid widget]

Thanks

[buoyant ether]

uhm how do i prepare a meat plate ? i got the ingredients but idk how

[vocal rivet]

In a cauldron and then stone oven.

[odd helm]

In a 5* cauldron more specifically, make sure you've upgraded it

[smoky quarry]

playing some upbeat action music in ashlands really helps keep you on your toes 100% of the time. Action Maximus

[livid widget]

I think I can see Ashlands water. Reddish tint?

[smoky quarry]

No time to rest for the wicked!

[livid widget]

oh no

☠️

[smoky quarry]

if dying was a skill, 100 easy after a few hours there

[livid widget]

at least no blinding mist

[gaunt tree]

Todays News: Yes we are working on mistlands - MONEY PLZ BORED GAME - what were we saying again

[livid widget]

helljelly aggro in a karve is terrifying

[shy carbon]

im trying to settle an argument about where yagluth vegvisir spawns

the wiki says that it only spawns around stone henges but on the runestone page it says it spawns in fuling camps as well

[wraith sun]

i can't remember having seen one in fuling camps

[livid widget]

We found ours in a round rock circle (not the scale of stonehenge)

Smallish boulders

[shy carbon]

yeah i think in older patches it would spawn in camps

[rugged vigil]

damn a sunken crypt yielded only 34 iron didn't know that was possible

[wraith sun]

for the first time ever have i witnessed an eitr refinery kill a rabbit like 20meters away 🤣

[wraith sun]

it can be alot worse - on very rare ocasions you will find a crypt with 3 dead ends right away with only a few mushrooms

[azure yacht]

From crypts you can get 0-150

[livid widget]

I assume the seals are for summoning the queen?

[wraith sun]

it's to open the gate - she doesn't need to be summoned the first time

[buoyant ether]

why is my tower taking rain damage even tho it has a roof ?

[hidden gorge]

are there holes in the roof? what is the roof made out of?

[buoyant ether]

shingleroof

is it cuz the walls have holes ? like gaps i mean

btw is it enuff for fireventilation if u have a small hole on the elder altar ? under it

[livid widget]

When you say gaps, do you mean you didn't snap the pieces together?

Like there's an actual gap in the wall?

[buoyant ether]

nah

i mean like using a smaller piece of wall to create a nice look

[livid widget]

It's not a perfect system. Sometimes a bit of rain can get in. Occasionally I need to repair a piece of floor

[buoyant ether]

kinda like windows

[livid widget]

Shorter wall?

If it's covered by roof, it shouldn't take damage, but it's not always perfect. Especially if the roof itself is an odd shape where you had to get creative with tile overlap or something

Try to place a 26 degree overhang

[buoyant ether]

leme take a screenshot

#screenshots message

[livid widget]

See how you have sort of a rounded roof? Probably have a tiny gap somewhere.

[vocal rivet]

Or the giant holes in the walls.

[livid widget]

I've had windows like that and not taken damage. But I also place an overhang piece around the edge

[buoyant ether]

nah those are tight, i have a hole in the middle but thats also covered by smaller pieces, all fit well

[livid widget]

Is it just one piece that's taking damage, or is it uniform across the floor?

[wraith sun]

that moment when you find the queen because you can hear her from inside a nearby dungeon rather than finding a vegvisir...

[livid widget]

You could try some crystal windows, also. Or the dwarven window things

[echo crest]

Is DX better than Vulkan? I got a laptop with RTX 4050

[slender rover]

It's not the windows. My house is missing an entire wall and the floor does not take water damage

[livid widget]

yeah I thought so. If roof is right, floor shouldn't take damge.

We have crafting areas with half walls and no walls and no issues

[hidden gorge]

no, it's either cause your roof has gaps, or you made the "roof" out of wooden floors, which don't fully stop rain below. if your roof is made of actual roof pieces, then the most likely problem is there are gaps in it

[buoyant ether]

nah i meant my walls taken dmg

floor looks fine

[hidden gorge]

wooden walls need to be protected by a roof as well

[drowsy herald]

Best Stamina food?

[vocal rivet]

In which biome?

[hidden gorge]

raspberries

[drowsy herald]

Mistlands since i havent unlocked the recipe for ashlands yet

[wraith sun]

Fish'n Bread

[livid widget]

Why did they go from procedural to handcrafted?

[azure yacht]

I just noticed that with the inclusion of the skugg, we now have an enemy build piece

It's a structure, but also counts as an enemy.

This doesn't make it impossible to have a training dummy

[vocal rivet]

Where?

[livid widget]

I thought I heard ashlands is not procedural

[vocal rivet]

Then you'd be wrong.

It would make no sense to switch the entire game up for the last two biomes.

[hidden gorge]

where did you hear this?

[drowsy herald]

Nahhh just got a 2 star morgen in a cave f my life

[azure yacht]

The fortresses

[vocal rivet]

Still procedural.

[azure yacht]

I only see one design for all of them

[vocal rivet]

And?

[azure yacht]

That's not procedural.

I assume that's their confusion

[wraith sun]

i had 2 x 2 star Morgens before i had cleared my first 2 castles xD

[vocal rivet]

They're still procedurally placed and populated

[hidden gorge]

procedural is a methodology, not the variety/diversity of content

[azure yacht]

Then it's a matter of knowing what they meant by what is handcrafted in reality

[livid widget]

Can always count on Derek for deep and engaging conversation.

[vocal rivet]

You're welcome.

[drowsy herald]

yep and it just one tapped me with 200 hp

[livid widget]

So the fortress island is handcrafted, but everything around it is procedural?

[paper venture]

Flametal veins respawns?

[vocal rivet]

The models, as usual, are handcrafted, the game itself is still procedurally generated.

[hidden gorge]

just like trees, rocks, graylings, fulings, etc. are all handcrafted, and placed procedurally around the map

procedural content needs to have some bespoke assets at some level

[drowsy herald]

so a 2 star morgen does 55 dmg per hit with lvl 2 mistlands gear and bonemass how lovely

[vocal rivet]

Welcome to the endgame.

[sharp bluff]

a 2 star berserker would delete you trough block so, duh?

[wraith sun]

are you heavy, light or mage?

[drowsy herald]

full heavy

[wraith sun]

ahh yea without bonemass it's a fight with no errors allowed xD

i was lucky to have a mage in the background shooting frost spells at it during both my encounters, so all i had to do was to stay alive and keep it's attention, died once to the first

can't imagen what it must be like to when you need to do damage as well

[sharp bluff]

also bubble benefits

[wraith sun]

at least yours is stuck in a cave, ours was both out in the open with alot of enemies getting involved along the way

he didn't bubble me, just so we could get it down faster

as long as bonemass was up i could stay alive

[sharp bluff]

bubble gives a guaranteed block which greatly increases dps xd

[drowsy herald]

welp died for the 5th time from the morgen even with corpse run it still does 60 damage

[sharp bluff]

lul

[wraith sun]

my best advice is to leave the cave, wait for agro to get lost, sneak in and hit it with an arbalest shot and leave asap, repeat until it dies 😅

[drowsy herald]

im a viking

[wraith sun]

or hire a mage to do the damage and you start dancing with it xD

personally i hope to never find a 2 star Morgen again

[drowsy herald]

yep i died again you mind hoppinh on HAHAHA

[wraith sun]

i am not a mage, that would be my step dad, but he is off to work (he is a captain)

i have no idea how to fight a 2 star morgen head on myself xD

[livid widget]

Stick it with the pointy end.

[wraith sun]

don't judge me but i used daggers in the ashlands (i have killed the Father)

Ashlands is an absoloute terror, i hope they don't tune it down, this is kind of what players asked for 😂

[livid widget]

I thought they did recently

maybe on test only for now

[vocal rivet]

It's in PTB only, yes.

[drowsy herald]

ahh yes what a wonderful day

[wraith sun]

wait so they are going to make Ashlands less tense? 🙁

[vocal rivet]

It's still in PTB.

[drowsy herald]

i cant be more happy rn

[vocal rivet]

What's up?

[drowsy herald]

the 2 star morgen is defeated after 28 deaths with the bonemass and corpse run combo

[vocal rivet]

Yay!

[wraith sun]

i have become invisible!! had a mist hare come up to me, sit in front of me for a moment and then wander off without getting spoked 😄

like 10 cm away from me

[hidden gorge]

yep, the mist can work both ways

[wraith sun]

that's the best* part, i was not sitting in the mist, i was sitting near a wisp torch

[split patio]

someone want to start a world with me

[merry sun]

#1024264966712340510

[frail wagon]

Alright. ive gotton mist lands gear i can say atlast.
this biome is a solid 4/10

super unfun but atleast the gear is really cool

[wraith sun]

why unfun? 😄

[frail wagon]

Land?
ROUGH
Vision?
NONE
Mobs?
Hard to get away from
VERY high amounts of damage

[wraith sun]

the damage is not that bad, just takes some getting used to.
the land is actually decently easy to traverse if you stop trying to force your way in one direction only, alot of the low areas are connected
Vision - start using your other senses 🤣

but i appreciate your opinion 🙂

[frail wagon]

also

i really just dont like fighting the mobs
it might be just the fact they are hard to get away from

[wraith sun]

Hmm i haven't had the problem with not being able to get away from them

[frail wagon]

idk
jarlls-Fly
Soldiers-not hard to get away from
Ticks-Jump
Seekers-Fly

[wraith sun]

gjalls are slow, seekers you just need to conserve your stamina until they land, then make a run for it, once you get a abit of distance between you and it it won't try to fly again, and ticks just 1 tap them like with deathsquittos

if you struggle hitting them then get a sledge hammer

[frail wagon]

meh ive decided to go with mage so

[wraith sun]

ahh easy to fireball them then 😄

[frail wagon]

hitting really anything isnt a huge problem

with my staff order im going
Fireball>Protection>Frost>Dead
(Obtained)

[buoyant ether]

a huge patch of mistlands and ahvent found literally anything except some dvergs 😫

[frail wagon]

dvergers are pretty helpful in early mistlands

very good if you trying to get some early seeker meat

[buoyant ether]

i mean is it any use unless i kite the seekers close to em ?

[frail wagon]

not really but

if you do need a place to rest for a moment you can always depend on them

[hot fern]

dvergrs do have materials close by them in towers or camps that you need for progression

[frail wagon]

also yeah here's a tip for grabing the extractors
1: Block and push any dwarfs out of the room
2:Break the box
3: Jump out a window Idealy facing your base

[wraith sun]

or bring a cart to break the barrier so they won't get mad when you grab the extractor

[hot fern]

i wouldn't recommend cheese like that, just bring bonemass and kill the little guys

[wraith sun]

(finds a 2 star fire mage)

[frail wagon]

also yeah
Always have bonemass in mistlands

going into a mine without bonemass is a deathwish
(i sadly had to learn that the hard way )

[hot fern]

hence bonemass

[wraith sun]

bonemass does nothing against fire damage

[hot fern]

with bonemass and the fire res mead, 2 star fire mages won't just obliterate you

yes, it does, actually. bonemass reduces physical damage, and the direct hit on the fire mage is largely physical damage

[wraith sun]

last time i tried with a bubble and fire resistance a 2 star fire mage still one tapped me xD

[frail wagon]

also correct me if im wrong but
is yagluth to ashlands
what bonemass is to mist?

[hot fern]

that's because.. you're a mage.

[wraith sun]

not trying that again

[hot fern]

wrong, because you can do all of yagluth with meads except for the lightning res

[wraith sun]

i was not a mage, i was warrior with over 200 hp, the mage was my friend

[hot fern]

resistances don't stack at all, they override

[frail wagon]

i mean YEAHHHH
But you dont run out of forsaken powers

[wraith sun]

keep bonemass for ashlands...

trust me

[hot fern]

just sayin, yagluth's power is not that strong when you utilize the meads

[frail wagon]

also what is the queens drop?

[hot fern]

it's a material you need to continue progression, since it's kinda new i'd rather not say

[frail wagon]

meh you can always just
|| . || it

[wraith sun]

the key to getting into the ashlands in the first place

without it you will not set foot on land in ashlands xD

[frail wagon]

yeah ive been hearing alot of buzz that the|| ashmaw serpents || are a nightmare to get around

[hot fern]

tbh i never really had a problem with them at all, they don't seem to hit very hard

[wraith sun]

that's not the issue

[frail wagon]

is it the funny hot water?

[wraith sun]

yea

[frail wagon]

dose it do a tone of damage to ya boats or smth?

[wraith sun]

i haven't gone far enough in with the longboat to find out as i wanted to make sure i got out in 1 piece (came out with about half health on the boat)

[frail wagon]

meh could take a karve with nothing on you

see how far you get

[wraith sun]

i have my level 95 spear skill to dear to try that xD

[hot fern]

@frail wagon it does kill the boat, and it also kills the player

it is possible to get there in an iron boat, but it would take a long time and a lot of effort

(that is, literally getting off to repair like every 30 seconds or minute or so)

[frail wagon]

and probably would be a waste of time

because you can just
get the special boat

[hot fern]

right

[austere belfry]

just got to the swamp and already died twice before reaching the shore 🙃

[wraith sun]

and thus a permanently fond memory has been created that you will look back on later on 😄

[austere belfry]

theres a tiny hut by my tombstones that i was trying to reach the first time. every subsequent death was me trying to quickly grab my loot then lock myself inside

I successfully locked myself inside and repaired the hut!

It's 2x2 and the workbench takes up 2 of those but at least im safe

[merry sun]

This is unfun to you? The biome is reaching his objectives

[zinc lark]

yay~! Just watch out for that troll.

[wraith sun]

you mean the big ||Abormination|| right?

[austere belfry]

i mean a troll followed me into the swamp from the black forest but ran away once it got poisoned

[zinc lark]

whichever is closer, lol

[austere belfry]

hope you dont mean another ._.

[wraith sun]

each biome after meadows has their own kind of "troll" enemy

big hard hitting monster

[zinc lark]

and each can fell a house in a few swings

[wraith sun]

anyways @austere belfry welcome to the swamp, enjoy your stay 😄

[zinc lark]

watch out for the ogre. he doesn't like treaspassers

https://tenor.com/view/swamp-shrek-shrekmoregifs-what-are-you-doing-in-my-swamp-gif-6290236491309036835

[austere belfry]

why are there so many leeches

[wraith sun]

beacuse they make for some good blood pudding

[austere belfry]

6 leeches just swam up to my dock in shallow water and started biting it
