[tight yacht]

so, i make it so nothing can get damaged really

[gray sand]

I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you.
I should have know the Wallers were plotting to take over.
Anakin, digging trenches is evil!
From my point of view, the earth walls are evil!
WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST!

(I'll stop now)

[unique onyx]

if trolls ever learn to use their arms to hop over walls we're all doomed

[tight yacht]

i do both

most castles had moats of some kind

helps buff up the wall, and provides a nice little trough for enemies to die in so their loot doesnt go too far

[gray sand]

Fill your moats with crocodiles.
I mean... Asksvins.

Or just /spawn pufferfish 200

[unique onyx]

are asksvins more considerate of your buildings than lox? i dunno why they remind me of hairless lox

[tight yacht]

i didnt realize the forcedelete mist took out my mist torches as well, actually helped clean them up since i left a ton around trying to see through the mist

but i am gonna console back in my 50 yggdrasil wood cuz that shit expensive

[gray sand]

@nocturne wolf I think you were right about mist vs. mistarea and it deleting everything mist-related.

[gray sand]

Inb4 it actually is the same model, just fur removed and painted green. 😁

[unique onyx]

i guess that might be why? so i guess probably not lol

[austere flame]

Does hildir give anything useful?

[gray sand]

Define "useful"

[wraith sun]

The clothing is semi useful for planting crops if you don't need to worry about getting attacked

[gray sand]

All of her stuff is cosmetic.
People find that category varying degrees of useful.

[austere flame]

Oh really

[gilded fjord]

do they have special effects?

[austere flame]

So it's just fun side quests then

[wraith sun]

Tool use stamina reduction

[gray sand]

Yes. Personally waiting for them to add Mistlands and Ashlands updates to her store.

[gilded fjord]

interesting

[plush umbra]

god I love this game but there are these perfect moments of everything going wrong at once that make me feel like an evil AI is tormenting me

clearing out a fuling village, accidentally aggro a bunch of fulings, then it starts to rain and a few mosquitos spawn and the dark forest i'm right next to spawns a troll

what can a viking possibly do but curse the gods

also my food buffs were starting to fade lmao

[gilded fjord]

arent you like

in valheim to redeem yourself in a way, thats what i understand of the lore anyway

[plush umbra]

you might be, it's never really explained

[gilded fjord]

its like the gulag from cod warzone

[plush umbra]

odin is also kind of a dick so he might have just chosen you at random, denying you paradise to do him a solid

[gilded fjord]

true

[gilded fjord]

more often than not that kind of moment is tied to the stamina system for me

[plush umbra]

stamina is what kills you yes

[gilded fjord]

not being able to climb out of water and being clubbed to death by something in the water (like a fuling)

[plush umbra]

the game basically revolves around coddling your stamina bar

[gilded fjord]

must say that it can really just be not fun

like not hard and challenging in a fun way but is just frustrating and unfun to deal with

[plush umbra]

it depends, valheim's gameplay is very unique. i think some aspects of it CAN be tedious but changing too much of it would ruin a lot of the challenge of the game

[gray sand]

So it's a personal awareness thing?

[plush umbra]

in the case of my food absolutely lol i should have paid better attention

but it sneaks up on me

[gray sand]

There is no evil AI then.
Just your attention to details. 😉

[gray sand]

Tasty Mead.
Infinite stamina.

[tight yacht]

is there any way to make the black stone looking ground in mistlands into something you can cultivate

[gray sand]

No. You have to find the grass patches and cultivate those.

[tight yacht]

aw boo

[gray sand]

That's why I just make a mushroom garden outpost and go back to the Plains.

[tight yacht]

yeah but the mistland spires look cool

[gray sand]

I see through the lies of the skybasers.

😉😁

[gray sand]

Given our talk earlier, would have pegged you for more of a Mountain base person 😉😉😉

[tight yacht]

if there was a way to actually tunnel i would be all about that lol

[plush umbra]

Mountain can be annoying because of drakes constantly flying into your base but they are gorgeous

There's a sweet spot where the elevation is too low for them to spawn

[gray sand]

Mountain base with a hot tub on the porch is the most Canadian build you can do tbh.

[plush umbra]

Log cabin made of core wood 😛

[gray sand]

I wish Ancient Bark was a building material 😭

[plush umbra]

What would it look like as a tile though

Just mossy, gunky old wood

[gray sand]

Dark wood with feint glowing green highlights.

[plush umbra]

Perfect for a witch's cabin/hut

Also good lord I have too much black metal...

[tight yacht]

do player structures stop spawning in a column or a spherical radius

[gray sand]

Can never have too much blackmetal.

[gray sand]

Sphere afaik.

[tight yacht]

ah so gjall can spawn directly above a player structure if they are high enough

[gray sand]

HEY GJALL

[tight yacht]

yes, to avoid that specifically lol

[gray sand]

Funnily enough, if you force spawns, Drakes beat Gjall flatout.

[tight yacht]

i realize making a base in the mistlands will expose me to that, so im thinking of how to at least ensure they spawn on the other side of my defenses

[wraith sun]

chased by seekers while in water is a death sentence

[gilded fjord]

chased by anything while in water is often a death sentence

[plush umbra]

I've seen drakes take out stone golems with enough time

[gray sand]

That's why you level your swim skill 😉

[gilded fjord]

ESPECIALLY CHARRED

[plush umbra]

Uuuuuughhhh leveling swim is UNBEARABLE

[tight yacht]

i guess the nice thing about the stone spires is they are tall, so i dont think gjall can spawn above them

[gilded fjord]

leveling anything kinda is to me

[plush umbra]

Paddling around in a puddle for hours

[gilded fjord]

i just dont bother grinding

[gray sand]

Mine is at 76 currently. Previously was at 83.

[gilded fjord]

cool some of you that does that

[plush umbra]

Skill drain?

[gilded fjord]

i myself just wont

[gray sand]

How else do skills go down? lol

[plush umbra]

New character I suppose

[gray sand]

I start a new everything every major update.

[plush umbra]

I've just had the two since release, one for survival and one for creative builds

[wraith sun]

i am good enough at dying that my weapon skill never hits 100 but also good enough that it never dips below 80, i just want to see it hit 100 once!!! 😭

[plush umbra]

Though I wound up remaking my survival character recently so I am going through everything again

[gray sand]

Which weapon?

[wraith sun]

spear

[gray sand]

Flint Spear -> Summon Bonemass.
Farm stats.

[wraith sun]

i don't farm any stat, i let them level natuarly instead 🙂

[gray sand]

Bring Iron Mace or higher to one-shot the adds that spawn, then switch back to Spear and farm stats.

[gilded fjord]

the only farm i be farming is my actual farm

i should maybe get stardew valley

[zinc lark]

oof, what a way to die... I cut down a beech tree. It knocked down another as i went to cut it into logs. the second one fell on my head and killed me instantly. -_-

[plush umbra]

Lol yep

That'll happen. There's even a runestone describing that fate befalling another poor viking in-game.

[fair cairn]

thatsa pretty cool game
i keep comming back to it

[drowsy magnet]

its a great game!

reminds me of my first game

harvest moon ps2

[hollow crag]

I improved my bonemass bow skill trainer haha, you just need to trap bonemass using the raise ground with the hoe, and then build a station right above the bonemass and then spam your bow

The bonemass will never die and because his hit box is so large every arrow can hit

[austere belfry]

cleansing a draugr village is quite the ordeal lol

[hollow crag]

The crude bow with the least draw stamina also make this better

[fair cairn]

only found a draugr village after getting to mountains having a mostly upgraded root set with silver weapons and shield
turned it into a sausage farm

[hollow crag]

Never understood whats the point of those village

[craggy mason]

Giving Meadows a little extra thing when you find them again far enough from spawn

[fair cairn]

lore?
easier sausage farming
easier draugr elite spawns?

[craggy mason]

Yea Draugr elite aren't a bad thing to find, getting their trophy for the Sledgehammer is difficult enough

[hollow crag]

Ig if you want iron sledge its the only reason, sausages you can easily make tons of them, with even just normal swamp spawns, and also mountains frost cave having like a lot of meat piles

[fair cairn]

yea and with half a dozen spawns yould find a trophy or two easier

i also found hilder right outside a draugr village

[craggy mason]

Me too !

[craggy mason]

Yeah the sausage recipe is so generous, you usually get way more than you need

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall!

[hollow crag]

Yep

[austere belfry]

I think the village is really cool, but I dont have iron stuff yet and cleaning them out was quite the struggle lol

now im rebuilding it as a novelty

the mead hall in the center is really cool

[vast depot]

Tier 4 tetra acquired

[gray sand]

SCORE

[hollow crag]

High tier bow skill is so satisifying

high level bow is pretty much a pistol like its day and night

[gray sand]

Indeed.

And then you pick up a crossbow at lvl 0 and feel how slow AF those are 😁

[wraith sun]

lol managed to sneak attack a Bonemaw with a spear xD

[drowsy magnet]

but your spear is gone

[wraith sun]

nope, was not a spear throw

it was stuck beheind 5 spikey rocks close to eachother trying to get back to the ocean, i could sneak up and hit the tail xD

[gray sand]

See, Bonemaws are the only "ok these spawn too much" thing I can point to in the Ashlands.

I have to bring 200 arrows just to make it to shore.

Once I am on shore I am fine.

[craggy mason]

Ever tried ||crossbows|| ?

[gray sand]

I prefer the actual bows tbh.

[craggy mason]

I personally never had too much of an issue but I reckon they're a lot easier to handle in MP (what I play) than SP

[gray sand]

I got 5 on the way in the first time I visited.

[wraith sun]

you can save some arrows by being good at spotting them and get sneak attacks in on them before they spot you

i got 13 on my way out once 😄

[gray sand]

Good rng in terms of food 😉

[wraith sun]

had to place a portal on a spike rock and go home to get more arrows to complete the trip

[hollow crag]

Yea and they suck

[wraith sun]

just sucks their meat can't be cooked into something not as heavy

[gray sand]

Ashlands has a bow-bow, right?

[hollow crag]

Idk what's high level cross bow looks like but low level cross bow is like 5 second reload, and then you run? You reload again, you jump? You reload again

[wraith sun]

4 sec level 0, 2 sec level 100

[hollow crag]

It's so annoying and also I feel like it's way harder to calculate the arrow falling like idk what they call it

The trajectory

[azure yacht]

It barely has any

[hollow crag]

Btw do you think I should try and build my way into Ashlands with iron wood beam lmao

I once played in a world where we had unlimited build cost and some one did it

Let's see how difficult it is with just 1.5x resource

[frozen tiger]

Holdup. There is no reload speed increase mentioned in crossbow skill tooltip. Does it really increase?

[merry pebble]

yes, it is on wiki and you can check in game with commands to see the difference 🙂 (tho i am not sure why it wouldnt be said in skill description 🤔 )

[azure yacht]

Because it's missing in-game

[gray sand]

Please tell me it shoots bonemaws.
Please...

That would be epic.

[austere belfry]

ayyyy just found the plains for the first time

[gray sand]

Best biome.

[drowsy magnet]

the skeetos are very friendly

[austere belfry]

not sticking around lol. saw some lox tho

[modest zenith]

looking for warriors to slay a mighty dragon. 1000 gold reward upon completion of the quest.

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion would be the place to ask.

[austere belfry]

met a fuling for the first time... it killed me in one hit lmfao

[opal prairie]

That was a decisive blow.
Now don't you become indecisive and never venture into the plains.
Eventually the power decisively changes in your favor and you'll land those decisive blows.

[drowsy magnet]

now you gotta find their village and wipe out every last one

[austere belfry]

mountain is after swamp?

[gray sand]

Aye.

Meadows -> Black Forest -> Swamp -> Mountain -> Plains -> Mistlands -> Ashlands

[austere belfry]

makes sense why it brutalized me then. Still dont have iron stuff

[gray sand]

Personally I skip Iron Armor.
Just build the Buckler, the Mace, and the Pick.

Troll or Bronze armor is more than enough to get you to Mountain.
Then you build Wolf Armor.

[opal prairie]

I go for root and then I go for fenris or eitr weave.

[gray sand]

Root is good, yeah.

[gray sand]

Also did you see kitchen update?

[opal prairie]

Yeah, lightning done and smoke tested.

[gray sand]

I think the only reason I was able to make a basement this deep is because it used to be a Tar pit 😄

[opal prairie]

Yeah they have a lower starting point than the rest of the ground around it ^^

[gray sand]

It's 8m down!
So I definitely squeaked in an extra meter.

[hollow crag]

I just realised this if you do login and logout to reset effects, you can technically swim to Ashlands

[opal prairie]

Will take long and some quick log out action when you get into the boiling water but it would be doable yeah.

[azure yacht]

hears bonemaws and voltures in the distance

Yes, I'm sure that will be a great idea

[shy marlin]

Doesn’t the game remember how much stamina you have now when you quit?

So you’d drown…

[hollow crag]

Swimming don't make that much noise

[strange coyote]

Stamina used to reset on logout idk if it still does. I used to cross rivers that way before I had a raft

[hollow crag]

You can just login to another world to restore your stamina lol

[shy marlin]

Ah there’s the tech

[drowsy magnet]

you can maybe walk to the Ashlands with a cart

[hollow crag]

You be still touching the water I think

[plush umbra]

At that point just enable console and fly there.

[gray sand]

Raft to the Ashlands

[distant field]

I want to see that!

[hollow crag]

It destroy in negative 0.1 seconds

[frozen tiger]

Is it only on normal difficulty or Morgen Caves are a bit of a joke? You just enter, loot everything and maybe on the way back Morgen finally spawns. And you can just leave the cave and forget about him. Already collected 40 cores like this

[gray sand]

Mighty raft is indestructible!

[plush umbra]

Playing on hardcore settings. They are indeed a joke. Hardest part is finding enough of them.

[gray sand]

No no, Ashlands is so horrible it must be nerfed into the ground.
Just ask everyone on reddit. 😉

[frozen tiger]

Soon, brotha, soon

[hollow crag]

Tbf the spawn rates and all were a bit much but I was handling it ok, but there was one thing that should've been changed and it was not

[gray sand]

Lava biome and I can't make Legend of Zelda hoverboots???

[hollow crag]

That was the visibility in the biome, I can legit see nothing at night

[azure yacht]

They can still spawn nearby and once they see you (and they will almost certainly see you)...

[gray sand]

Mistlands 2.0 😉

[hollow crag]

😭I hated mistland for the same reason

[gray sand]

Visibility is the sole reason I won't be making an Ashlands base.

[hollow crag]

Legit always gives me a heart attack with mobs coming from nowhere

[hollow crag]

I turn my brightness on my computer to max and barely able to see shit, only when it has lightning can I see at night and that's like for a slight moment

[drowsy magnet]

I don't know if it still works

[frozen tiger]

You just need the right spot on the open area near lava. Ashlands so beautiful at night

[distant field]

Yeah, inside a fortress, or not near lava, pitch black. Near lava though… perfect.

[azure yacht]

Why would you even explore it at night? Literally the only thing that should be worth getting is a 2-star asksvin, but once you get it, what else? Exploring any biome at night is not a good idea just because

[opal prairie]

I like myself a night time stroll in the mistlands or nay other biome though, I've never shied away from the night.

[craggy mason]

I agree it can really take ages for the Morgen inside to manifest themselves

[drowsy magnet]

some people enjoy pain

[somber wren]

To be honest, it is quite overwhelming with the amount of mobs, even during daytime. Its hard to get a foothold and a portal set up, finding resources and corpse runs. Example, took me 5 boats to get a portal up. Also the constant gliding on ore veins. I welcome to changes (:

[craggy mason]

Oh god the gliding on ore veins is the worst

Because it really is the one thing you kinda cannot play around

[somber wren]

Yeah, "played" ashlands for about 5 days. Body is in the middle of a giant lava pool, due to gliding issues. Not gonna attempt playing again until a patch is out. Not a great experience going to Ashlands if you already disliked Mistlands ^^

[smoky quarry]

its fine.

[azure yacht]

Mistlands is very drastically different from ashlands tho.

[somber wren]

It indeed is

[azure yacht]

You will slowly notice that the problem is the average player themselves and not the game...

[somber wren]

I did find Mistlands pretty chill by just removing the use of Wisplight to stay hidden. Although, not really fun to just look at a cloud of mist all day ^^
As for Ashlands, its a whole different beast compared to the first 5 biomes of the game.
I loved the original version of Valheim a lot, though Mistlands and Ashlands has not been the greatest in my opinion. Although, the coming changes to Ashlands sure will make it better, leaving mistlands as the "worst" experience for someone that doesnt like having to look at mist and climb mountains every 2 seconds 😄

[gaunt pelican]

My multiplayer group of 6-8 regulars is having trouble upgrading Ashlands weapons: too few gems for multiple people wanting a couple of weapons a piece (and being able to upgrade them).

No other biome gives us trouble finding enough resources to accomadate our group size. And we don't want to play with ALL resources increased just to have enough gems for us.

Any similar experiences or is Charred Chest RNG just reaaaaallly hating on our group?

[distant field]

Ashlands seems better at night, imo.

[frosty cypress]

Don't use your asksvins as a bodyguard while trying to collect grausten with the battering ram. They love you so much they'll push you into lava trying to get right next to you

[drowsy magnet]

spoken from experience?

[frosty cypress]

Yep

[worthy turtle]

does the mistlands have any high valuable items that arent able to be teleported ?

[frozen tiger]

Ashlands gonna have the same utter nerf to spawnrate as Mitlands had a year ago. Maybe that's a IG strategy — make biome hard as intended, allow experienced players to have their fun and then change it to fit average reddit user.

[bleak flax]

If you kill the ashlands boss will ashlands enemies start spawning in other biomes at night like fuelings and seekers do after killing thier respective bosses?

[frozen tiger]

yes

[bleak flax]

Do you know if its just the charred or everything?

[frozen tiger]

charred warrior

[bleak flax]

ew, the most annoying variant

[frozen tiger]

I find twichers more annoying. Warriors are more straightforward though dangerous

[opal prairie]

Dvergr extractor that you need for sap extractor.
I find it a good idea to have some blackmetal with you so when you find one tou can put it down on the nearest root, then put 2 portals near it, one to get to it, the 2nd to get to the next sap extractor and make a portal loop to visit them all and collect sap.

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely.

[worthy turtle]

oh so if i already have blackmetal with me then i wont need to be sailing back to my home base at all?

[opal prairie]

Exactly, you need 5 for every sap extractor and 10 wood for a workbench.
I always have 5-10 blackmetal with me when exploring the mistlands so whe ni find dvergr with an extractor i pufferfish the dvergr take the extractor and fidn the nearest root to plant in on, I also always have portal mat,s I'll put down a portal and go and get more portal mats for another portal near the extractor and to have another pocket portal with me.
It does limit what i can carry but saves travel time.

[fossil delta]

I've turned the portal restriction off. After over 4,300 hours of playing Valheim "as intended" I deserve it.

[frozen tiger]

I learned it can be two archers too

[unique onyx]

yeah the no portal thing is weird anyway. it's added with the idea you'll explore more but who's taking their full load of iron into unexplored regions

[fossil delta]

This is my second time playing through the Mistlands with my wife. (I've done a couple of solos and another with a server group.) Yesterday I finally convinced her to wield Demolisher, because of how much easier it would make the dungeons if we are both wielding it. She finally agreed. Now she loves Demolisher. 😄

Both of us swinging away with Demolisher makes things soooo much easier.

[fossil delta]

I agree, it is weird. I still explore. I need to find dungeons. I need to find cores, and seal breakers. I needed to do similar at the black forest stage, the swamp stage, and so on. The need for mats has me explore plenty. Heck, at the plains level, the thirst for revenge has me explore more than at any other time.

[azure yacht]

No one, because you are taking all that iron to your main base, not anywhere else

[vocal rivet]

They are?

[azure yacht]

All give exp to their respective skill

[smoky quarry]

yea, whats the point of a |flaming sword| anyway?

[s]

[unique onyx]

it's on fire which means you can easily rack up combo points with it

[merry pebble]

to have a cool looking and decent weapon

[unique onyx]

was the mod updated after ashlands? haha

[azure yacht]

Bug probably

[smoky quarry]

remind you its Alpha still :p

[azure yacht]

That too

https://valheim.com/support

[wraith sun]

encountered too many seekers in the mistlands?

[loud spade]

Up server? Am a new player

[fossil delta]

I always have a full stack of iron bar on my boats. I frequently need a stone cutter to either repair a tower to be a base of operations on a given island, or to tear them down for more mats. Especially in the Mistlands. From now on, though, portal every where, once I get there in the first place.

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510

[azure yacht]

But the statement in question was about a full load of iron, when in the case of building outposts you should only need a few max

It also depends on whether there could be a swamps nearby, there usually is

[stuck oyster]

how much fps can i get on high settings with
rtx 3050 4gb
16 gb 4800mhz ddr5 ram
ryzen 5 6600h?

[azure yacht]

Why don't you just... Test it yourself?

[vivid basin]

Hello there

[azure yacht]

It's your machine, not ours, how could we know?

[stuck oyster]

back in the day you could dupe all those after finding a single dungeon

[stuck oyster]

because i dont have it genius?

you buy something depending on its performance

and since i couldnt find anyone with those specs in youtube

i came here to see if theres someone with those specs

if i could test it i wouldnt ask it

[distant field]

The FPS in the game varies wildly. So that’s not an easy question to answer.

For comparison, I’m playing on an i9-14900 + RTX 4070, and it will dip into the 30s at times. But I am running maxed settings, and that only happens in our big, complex, main base. Everywhere else I don’t even notice the frame rate.

[stuck oyster]

do you use vulkan and dlss

[distant field]

No on Vulkan. No on dlss. I think (I would need to check on dlss).

[vivid basin]

Loading into the game takes a little bit, but that was just upon first generating my world so it might be a one time thing.
(Nvidia 1660 + Intel i9)

I get a nice framerate otherwise.

[stuck oyster]

eh i reckon id get above 60 on high settings with vulkan and dlss then

[distant field]

In most areas easily.

[stuck oyster]

i was getting 80-90 with rtx 2080

but that was like a year ago and i had an absolute rubbish cpu

also no vulkan or dlss

[vivid basin]

I literally just started so...
I'm still in the meadows with a tiny shack lol.

Not a whole lot to render there.

[stuck oyster]

get like 5 ppl to play with you

[unique onyx]

the game doesn't really get laggy unless you add a lot of instances for building or raising/lowering the land

[stuck oyster]

last year me and like 5 friends sailed to kill the 3rd boss it was really fun

[vivid basin]

I'm only really gonna have one base in the meadows or something and another in the mountains because I wanna make a stone fortress.
Maybe one in the new biome but yeah.
One base for logging, two for mining, one for farming.
So probably more like 2 meadows bases, 1 mountain base, one ashlands base.

But that's like... far in the future once I figure out how to get a proper foothold.

[ornate sigil]

Plains farm?

[vivid basin]

My only exposure to Valheim before now was Soundsmith.

[vivid basin]

I spawned on a barrier island lol

Like I said, just started.
So I don't even know what all the mechanics are.

[stuck oyster]

you gon need portals before setting up multiple bases

[vivid basin]

Makes sense.

[distant field]

You don’t need portals, but it helps, in some regards (they’re actually no help in some regards).

[vivid basin]

I like the game's atmosphere so I might omit portals.

[stuck oyster]

i love portals

we used to set sail to new biomes and bring portals with us to make outposts

we had gladiator tourneys going on as well

damn i really got to get my guys playing again

[distant field]

I use them. We have a couple of dozen or so scattered about. But I also love sailing. And just exploring on foot.

[stuck oyster]

once i was afk on the ship and one of those sea snakes targeted us

my friends were shooting at it but they accidentally shot the ship

[distant field]

lol, never AFK on a boat!

[stuck oyster]

when i came back all the loot was floating as well as my teams bodies

[stuck oyster]

it was a 20 min sail to the 3rd boss 😭

we had extra loot for like 4 more boats in the boat

eventually we lost 5 boats

took me almost an hour to recover all the loot

[mighty adder]

I have a quick question! Is there a lore reason we can't take ore through portals? (***I'm 100% fine with it and not arguing, I'm just curious if there's a story-related reason behind it, because I really love reading the story stones you find across the map, and I haven't noticed anything about it.)

[vivid basin]

Because Odin deems it so-
XD

[unique onyx]

uhhh well if i'm not mistaken, and correct me if i'm wrong, but i belive it's because unworked metals are more porous and if you were to teleport with that you'd become ironman

[mighty adder]

I see, lol! That's about what I thought, haha. Thanks guys, I was just curious if I missed something, but apparently not. :)

[distant field]

Wait till you find the iron fireplace things…

[slender rover]

Portals are basically just a QoL feature that limit the amount of nonsense involved in moving your entire residence through the game or spending hours sailing back and forth because you need or forgot something. Something I really wish Minecraft had. A no portal run is effectively just more time commuting between places, it doesn't add any real new depth to the game. It does make advance preparation a lot more important because if you forget something or don't reset your spawn to a base on a new island, your punishment is going to be a few more real hours of your life sailing between point A and B

The default everything-but-ore teleport is a nice balance between still requiring some sailing and foot traffic, and quick transits for supplies or to head home from an explored location

[brazen anchor]

Ok, so I'm trying to find a 2 star wolf in my solo server and I haven't seen one ever. I've tried going further away from spawn on a small mountain, even trapped the local stone golem so he isn't killing anything and still no luck. I've tried looking for a 2 star for several nights in game in a row, still no luck. I've even seen packs with a 1 star or two, still no 2 star. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

[slender rover]

Finding a two star wolf took me forever as well. I finally had some luck when I sailed to a very large mountain about halfway to the edge of the world map from my center spawn. Found two within a couple nights

[brazen anchor]

Well that gives me some hope. I'm on a mountain that close to the edge of the world too. Lots of flat areas.

[slender rover]

Being high up also helps. You'll know if you're in the right vicinity if you see fenrings, apparently they and 2* wolves share a spawn chance

[brazen anchor]

Good to know, I've seen plenty of those here. So maybe I'm close, just need to grind out a few more nights at this new spot.

[slender rover]

Good luck and be careful. They hit like a truck

[frigid gust]

A wolf at night has basically a 1% chance of being a 2*. It's got a 10% chance of having a star, and a starred wolf has a 10% chance of adding a star. It wouldn't be out of odds to see near 200 wolves before seeing any two stars.

[brazen anchor]

Ya that's what I was reading. I've seen about 3-4 1 stars on this mountain so far, usually in a pack. About 2-3 fenrings too.

I'm killing everything I see too.

[frigid gust]

Sounds about right. One stars are still worth capturing, you will need something to breed the 2* with, and a 1* will keep itself alive in the mountains a bit better than basic wolves.

[fast badge]

How would stars be added, can you train them?

[frigid gust]

No, I'm saying "adding" a star as in a one star spawn has a 10% chance of becoming a two star instead. There is no way to upgrade or train animals or enemies.

[brazen anchor]

Ya, I've tamed a 1 star and have been breeding them for a while now. Funny enough, I tamed that one on a mountain that was attached to my spawn island

[azure yacht]

Then buy it to test it? You have a two-hour window to refund the game which is enough time to see performance...

The passive aggressiveness won't get you far either btw

[stuck oyster]

Mate either give an answer like Scott Hill did or just keep quiet

Why would i spend a grand to buy a laptop to see if it runs valheim?

If it doesnt run it im gonna refund the laptop?

[azure yacht]

Well, thought you meant the game, not the laptop, which was my mistake.

Still doesn't excuse the passive aggressive answer tho

[brazen anchor]

Sounds like your issue is more to do with capabilities vs cost on a computer than the game. I would say that Valheim would work on a computer that isn't labeled a gaming laptop, but then you are limited to how much manipulation you do to the game, as in building large or doing a lot of terraforming.

[stuck oyster]

I already told you i was gonna buy a laptop depending on the performance not the game itself (which ive owned for 2 years)

Sorry for being aggressive but i had to deal with a lot of monkeys today (dont count yourself in, talking about irl people)

[distant field]

Actually, I was unaware that you were looking at getting a new laptop. I figured you were talking about the specs you have. And then was confused when you started talking about playing the game previously.

[stuck oyster]

I am buying a new system

And comparing systems on performance

[distant field]

I see. Yeah, that wasn’t clear.

[fast badge]

I have a 12 yo ultrabook that's below min specs. It runs Valheim poorly. Any laptop you'd find new in a store today would run it.

[slender rover]

Re: laptop.

I can run Valheim at 1080p above minimum settings on my i7-7700HQ with 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1050. Frame rate away from my build sites ranges between 40-60 fps. That computer is a Lenovo Legion from 2016

I won't talk about the frame rate at my main base, lol.

[distant field]

This is the thing - away from base in most areas it’s going to absolutely fine - at base it’s going to be entirely dependent upon how you make stuff.

[frosty cypress]

Im always disheartened to find in every game ive played that large bases that arent just a shell always lag. my pc isnt top notch but pretty good and still lag a good bit at home. have experienced some lag in the ashlaands because of large numbers of enemies spawning in together

[distant field]

Yeah, Ashlands lag is very much a thing.

[azure yacht]

Alright, sorry for the seemingly initially rude question.

Similarly, I've seen people ask stupid questions here, and it was a genuine question on my part because some are legitimately clueless on what is the most logical course of action.

[slender rover]

My main PC has a 4th Gen i5 and a GTX 1060 and does okay in Ashlands but also gets somewhat humbled by my base

But I have seen the odd stutter in both Ashlands and mistlands, and I definitely do not have the settings cranked up

[frosty cypress]

i pray for the day that i can build till my hearts content on some game. actually no i dont pray but hope like hell and suspect ill always be disappointed

[stuck oyster]

Alright then

3050 should be fine in that case

[frosty cypress]

pricing quantum computer now. ha i wish

[soft crag]

рш

[frigid gust]

Sorry, English only on this server please.

[wraith sun]

omg, has any of you tried the lighting weapons inside fuling vilages yet? 🤣

[slender rover]

Keep in mind the XX50 tier are not designed as gaming powerhouses, so don't expect really high performance. You're going to be rocking very middle of the road settings and sitting in the 60 fps range most likely.

[stuck oyster]

With some configurations i believe i can get 80 90 in high settings and like 30 in laggy bases imo

[left wagon]

does this game support ps4 controllers

or only xbox and mouse&keyboard

asking because I'm out of batteries for my mouse

[frigid gust]

It should support Steam Input on PC, so anything that works through that should be ok IIRC.

[left wagon]

so it should work just as it would an xbox controller?

[slender rover]

I think that's very unlikely, especially on a 4 GB mobile GPU on high settings, but best of luck. Valheim on high humbles xx60 and 70 cards tiers, and the performance of the 3050 is quite a bit below them.

Perfectly playable at reasonable frame rates on moderate settings absolutely, though.

[left wagon]

either way, thank god I'm not forced to play elden ring and GoT until I get batteries

[frigid gust]

I don't use a controller or have a PS4 controller to guarantee that, but that's my understanding

[left wagon]

nevermind the controller layout for this game is too confusing

[frigid gust]

Part of the "problem" with Valheim is it's both CPU and GPU heavy, and laptops often have a lower ability to exhaust heat, so when you're working both major heat sources heavily many laptops will run into issues.

[crisp portal]

(late answer but) I gotta say that the altitude does not influence the luck. I got my first 2⭐ wolf by "Luck" and at the closest mountain near my base, when I was going after Ferings to fully upgrade my armor. So my tip is, DONT look for them, they will come to you.

[nocturne wolf]

There are more layouts available in settings (I use console 1)

[desert flower]

Group of 5 of us finally got to Ashlands last week--the biome is completely unplayable with all the lag/rubber banding. Mobs are killing us before they load; Morgens are all over the place. Is everyone having the same experience?

[stuck oyster]

Ive seen some benchmarks from last year (even tho the game evolved a lot since then) they were getting pretty much the same fps

[crisp portal]

If the PTB test is live, all you need to do is go there again. However I'm not facing any lag there, and the pc I was using is only 1060 TI.

Solo run tho

[stuck oyster]

Add cannons to the game so we can shoot entities before we land ⚔️

[crisp portal]

it would be too hard to aim those cannons if not switch* to FP or had a consistent aim to it. Would be funny, tho

[desert flower]

I'll add we're playing on a dedicated server.

[livid widget]

Can't you just launch fireballs from a staff before you land? 🙂

[azure yacht]

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

[brazen anchor]

Ok, I wondered about proximity to my spawn point. I haven't ever seen a 2 star wolf in this server. I've seen them in my old server, and just caught a 2 star in a joint server that was created right before Ashland came out. Starting to make me wonder if my server (created after Ashland's update) spawns them at all.

[tiny mortar]

2* wolves only spawn at night iirc

[crisp portal]

I had a pit which I had my no star wolf tamed ready, and the only "tip" I can give is do not go after them, it seems like the game knows and roasts you for doing so. A "similar" thing that happened to me was with the Dverger trophy. It took me nearly 200 killed (not only by me) to drop one. And it dropped when I was building a fancy building in the mistlands when a soldier killed two of them nearby...

[tiny mortar]

Starred wolves in general, unless the devs changed it

[crisp portal]

still is, I believe

[brazen anchor]

Ya, I can see that. When my boyfriend and I found the 2 star in his server, we weren't even going to try to look for one. We actually had just finished taming a 1 star when we found the 2 star.

[merry pebble]

it is indeed still that way 🙂

[livid widget]

It's certainly nice to have the 2 stars for the extra meat, but I also wouldn't spend a ton of time searching them out either

[wispy hearth]

I haven't played since before the mistlands update, did they remove the ability to get rid of the grass at some point?

[lost sentinel]

oh boy i see ashlands im nervous now

[gilded fjord]

as in the ground grass?

you can use cultivator's pathen to do that , im not sure how it worked before

[buoyant ether]

are the asslands rocks like terrain protection ?

if building beneath one

[wispy hearth]

yeh, it used to just all go away with the setting for it but it seems that setting has been removed, it helped keep my comp from running quite as hot

[shy marlin]

lock in you'll be aight

[gilded fjord]

theyre easily destructible (?)))

[buoyant ether]

ashlands is goated

[buoyant ether]

😫

[gilded fjord]

oooh you mean like graphic settings

[lost sentinel]

bro this is insane

[buoyant ether]

is there like blackforest type rocks u can build beneath then at all ? or do i gotta spawn in a huuuuge rock

[cedar junco]

Hey, everybody. Glad to have such a nice community. You can immediately see a friendly team, and that such a horror in the chat rooms I saw).

[gilded fjord]

like troll cave?? yes theres morgen cave, but compared to trolls cave theyre still very dangerous

[wispy hearth]

yeh, there was a setting to remove the grass, they must have changed it at some point, oh well

[gilded fjord]

wait what even is a cave, it lost all of its meaning for me for some reason

[buoyant ether]

i was more thinking like big copper rocks, arent those good protecc ?

but i do dig troll cave designs as well

[gilded fjord]

ah nope, not only that theres no such things
a lot of the enemies in ashlands deals massive structural damage so theyd be easily destroyed

[buoyant ether]

well fuck

[frigid gust]

They did. The lowest vegetation setting still includes grass now since they improved the performance at the lowest end, as it was never intended to really look that way and made mushrooms, etc. too easy to find.

[buoyant ether]

😫 i was so hyped about finally getting an underground base

they cozy

[wispy hearth]

trolls can destroy those rocks too, very easily, so they were never really protection

[buoyant ether]

i fought plenty trolls on top of those but never did they break

welp, now im out of base ideas

tips ? 👀

[wispy hearth]

thanks for the confirmation, I needed to make sure I wasn't missing it somewhere

[frigid gust]

Best place to make an "underground" base in the Black Forest is under an altar for the Elder. Free permanent flame above, pretty large area you can take over, and if you decide to dig out to the sides a bit you can even build on the pillars and such as ground-strength support.

[hidden gorge]

#building-tips

[buoyant ether]

my elder spot isnt deep enuff, its okayish but not like proper

[gilded fjord]

the only real safe place in ashlands is just the fortress

or if you want you can have a coastal base (enemies can still damage your base but theres less enemies that can deal structural damage)

[frigid gust]

There are multiple in every world, maybe another one is a better location. But yeah, that is the biggest risk when it's low elevation.

[gilded fjord]

WAIT im confused what were you even referring to???

you were asking about structures in ashlands or am i wrong

i dont know what else to interpret "assland rock" for beside a typo for ashlands

[buoyant ether]

yeah ashlands :D

[buoyant ether]

my world only had 2 and both very coast 😫 the other is like dig less than halfa meter and u getting water in, so i thought on my next run im praying to get a proper elder altar

[buoyant ether]

theres a fortress in ashlands ?

[gilded fjord]

a bunch of em

[lost sentinel]

are there always structures around or did i get a lucky landing

[hidden gorge]

ruins are pretty plentiful in the ashlands

[buoyant ether]

like... are we talking ruins or like proper stuff ?

[lost sentinel]

damn i just had like 5 dudes on me

[hidden gorge]

now that's lucky -- only 5?

[lost sentinel]

i like that the warriors have a juke attack

[slender canopy]

What is the best gem for the slayer?

[buoyant ether]

so i gotta build an armor that protecc from heat ?

[wispy hearth]

fire resist potions

[gilded fjord]

proper stuff, its not exactly the most elaborate fortress however, its just a box

[lost sentinel]

bro this is giving me the feeling of playing valheim for the first time

[gilded fjord]

like think of dwarven mini-structure (non-queen)

[lost sentinel]

what forsaken is best for ashlands though

[gilded fjord]

bonemass imo

[frigid gust]

When in doubt, Bonemass

[gilded fjord]

so many physical damages, the elementals damage you can easily avoid, but being able to tank some damage definitely helps

[buoyant ether]

so far ive seen ruins but they can take damage?

[gilded fjord]

regular ruins yes can take damage, ashlands fortress however, cant atm (without the use of player made siege weapons)

[ornate sigil]

The "strongholds" you need battering rams or catapult to damage make for great(if small) bases.

The ones with the green beams comming out of them and often a warlock in the mix.

[wispy hearth]

not like you need anything more than a workbench and a portal as a base anyway

[lost sentinel]

welp another biome means another 3 blackmetal chests for depo

[buoyant ether]

ngl ashlands is kinda great with the threats

ima find me a fortress 😤

[lost sentinel]

ok so valkyrie is terrifying

[buoyant ether]

AYYY founda base wit some necrolight

[lost sentinel]

kinda sick of constantly picking up grautsen

[vocal rivet]

Turn off auto pickup?

[lost sentinel]

i guess

[ornate sigil]

Keep a hammer on you and make stacks of 50 at random as you search.

[naive ember]

why my vallheim is crashing when loading the game ?

[frigid gust]

How is it crashing? Do you have any mods installed?

[naive ember]

no its fresh installed

[naive ember]

when loading the world

[frigid gust]

Turn off auto pickup like Derek said, or you can split stacks to fill your inventory with things you want to actually auto pickup.

[ornate sigil]

Depends on a lot of things, but the most common crash is due to first load after ashlands went live. If that's the case, leave it be on the loading /froze screen for 5-10 minutes.

[frigid gust]

It gives a "Valheim is not responding" error or something similar? Just wait. Initial load of a world can take a while depending on your PC, up to 5 minutes. Just don't touch the mouse, keyboard, anything and let it load.

[sly oyster]

Is it worth to tame wolves? Not sure if I wanna upkeep meat for them and for some reason I just forsee then trying to attack everything and anything and dying

[naive ember]

ok i try thank you guys

[frigid gust]

They're nice to have around IMO, but as far as mechanically there's no real reason. But tamed animals don't starve, just like you don't. You only need to feed them if you want to breed them or heal them.

[ornate sigil]

2star wolves are murder in a pack up to the plains. Harder sell for mistlands or ashlands.

[buoyant ether]

hmmm what to make of the tower in the middle of the fortress 🤔

[gilded fjord]

i tend to use it a s a place to store my backup portal

[buoyant ether]

i could either, use the pillars as a foundation for a huge ass roof, or i could make smaller departments within the walls for stuff

[buoyant ether]

can i break in the door ?

[gilded fjord]

you should be with siege weapon

i just dug into it from below

[ornate sigil]

They are unrepairable, so break with care if you are going to reuse the stronghold.

[buoyant ether]

should i have siege wpns XD

the spikey door is a bit of an nuisance tho

[lost sentinel]

just when i think it cant get crazier i see a green beam

[sharp raptor]

Wait you can dig under the door?!

[buoyant ether]

go there

[gilded fjord]

yep only the inner door though

the outer wall is too deep to dig under

[ornate sigil]

Definitely not where the green beam casserole is at😋

[buoyant ether]

i just realised that means i could make this base deep af 😳

20 min into asslands and i found last boss location 😭

[ornate sigil]

Lucky find. When I was in PTB (pre live) mine was a good 1h(irl time) of running from mobs away from my main base.

Ended up finding and raiding 3-4 strongholds before finding the boss spawn.

[lost sentinel]

i love this biome

i dont think anything can top plains but this shit is fire

[livid widget]

lol why are the ballistae shooting at me

[wispy hearth]

they shoot at everything that moves, stupid machines

have to drop a trophy in them to make them only shoot at a specific mob

[merry pebble]

you can program it using trophy 😉

[buoyant ether]

i thought i would make this a quick wsmall build but

[livid widget]

I just wish it had more options

[buoyant ether]

do we need an ashlands base ?

like farming etc

[livid widget]

🤷

[merry pebble]

not really, but its nice to have

[livid widget]

A portal fob at the very least

[buoyant ether]

im torn if im ready to make all this terraforming 💀

[livid widget]

You don't like picking the ground for 3 hours?

[buoyant ether]

not the biggest fan

[livid widget]

Maybe I'm making an incorrect assumpion. You can only do one mob type per ballistae?

[kind mica]

i have a problem with my valheim, evrytime i try to start a new world or just log in to it local server the game crash use steam.. have to probel with onlie servers

[buoyant ether]

tho for a cool af underground base yes, but this would be like a very deep fortress so idk, i dont even have a design in mind

[azure yacht]

Only vineberries grow in ashlands, which can grow anywhere else that's a better option

[nova crystal]

looking for a good server to play on central time

[merry pebble]

That way good sir -----> #1024264966712340510 😄

[nova crystal]

thanks, i was scrolling through, just so many to pick from

[lost sentinel]

holy ashlands food is dope

[kind mica]

and easy to make

[buoyant ether]

oh and i can make zerker axes in ashlands ?

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Berserkir_axes#:~:text=The Berserkir axes is the,the damage on each hit.

[stable crest]

Ashlands be going goooood

magic seems OP and it’s been super fun to explore and gather all the new materials

thank you devs!!!! I know people are moaning abt it but still is good fun !!!

[stable crest]

RIGHTTTT im already in my ashlands farming era

[lost sentinel]

wait fr i didnt even try magic

[stable crest]

Staff of fracturing does decent damage to stuff

I’m waiting to get the Ashlands mage armour tho, someone said it’s good to have a mage and then a tank player at the same time to deal with the mobs

[lost sentinel]

ive learned setting up a power combo is useful against valkyries

[frail wagon]

when it comes to ashlands what do you need ||Bonemaw serpent teeth for?||

[merry pebble]

bow and crosbow iirc

also spear

[frail wagon]

so nothing good?

[merry pebble]

wdym nothing good? XD those are plenty good

[frail wagon]

Bow?
Pierce resist
Crosbow?
Pierce resist
Spear?
Pierce resist

[merry pebble]

they still work fine 🙂 at least the bow does, didnt use much of crosbow and spear

and dont forget you will have those also in the deep north 😉

[burnt nebula]

I'm looking for a mod that just shows xp gains, does one exist?

[merry pebble]

try #mods-discussion folks there know more about them 🙂

[burnt nebula]

Thanks

[gilded fjord]

Enchanted crossbows (or not) are still good against valks

Or even regular charred if you have like the green enchantment, helps to trap them if you do got it

[livid widget]

What to use as a trellis for the grapes?

[gilded fjord]

Trellis?

[merry pebble]

i have seen people use dividers

[gilded fjord]

Like the walls?, I think you can use anything, I myself used regular wooden wall and wooden beam

[gilded fjord]

It's one of the more aesthetically pleasing choices yee

I haven't yet focused on making pretty builds just trying to get a lot of seeds first

[merry pebble]

also the ashwood decorative walls and windows

other than that any wall piece will do i believe

[livid widget]

I just did a dvergr divider. Seems like each plant needs one wall piece of separation in space

[distant field]

I’m using stone. Because you can then grow vines on both sides.

[livid widget]

Ah divider doesn't allow that?

[frail wagon]

wait.. what? you can grow the ash lands grapes?

[merry pebble]

yep

[frail wagon]

How?

[livid widget]

Gonna be making some fine vintage reds!

[merry pebble]

when you pick them up there is a chance to get seeds, they look kinda like grey onion or carrot seeds

[frail wagon]

and im still not use to the ashlands so where do the grapes spawn?

[livid widget]

I still haven5 found flametal

[distant field]

Yeah. It’s not easy, and they’re a little bugged, so only grow and produce fruit slowly and sporadically. They may also lose some growth and grapes when you logout or portal away. But they will grow in any biome, I believe.

[merry pebble]

they are on walls of big ruins there, they are probably the biggest structure you will see there, also there are towers of the same style, just smaller, in water sometimes

[merry pebble]

yep they do 🙂

[distant field]

Just need a seed and cultivated soil near a wall with no overhangs, then plant seed close but not too close.

About 1/3 to 1/2 meter away from the wall seems best - just far enough that it’s not clipping.

Oh they need open space in front of the wall when getting started, but once they’re established you can have rows 2m apart.

[ornate sigil]

there was a whole setup in the building chat section...let's see if I can find it.

[distant field]

I just posted mine here: #building-screenshots message

I'm getting 3-4 groups of 3 clusters per in-game day, on average, from this, and probably averaging 2-3 seeds per in-game day.

And then these: #building-screenshots message

Which produce 1-2 groups of clusters per in-game day, and occasional seeds.

[brisk cobalt]

For the grapes I've figured out that they really like height and they really like to be spaced a lot further apart than the minimum the game lets you do. I use the wood roof cross to make walls, and you can plant on one side starting at the edge then going 6 m and planting the next one, on the other side start in about 3 meters and then plant every 6 meters so they are offset from one another and they grow pretty well. Not really sure how long they take to regrow, but it works a lot better than my first round that I tried where I went broader and didn

didnt give a lot of height

Oh also build out the walls first, it seems if you try to add them after it causes growth problems later on

[livid widget]

Really not very impressed by the ballista so far

[teal remnant]

hi guys, do extinguished torches still prevent mobs to spawn?

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[teal remnant]

ty

[lofty dagger]

how do i get my friend to play i just beated eikthyr and my friend sayed this game is not for me and i dont like it but like ik he likes it he has 12 hours on this game and he is saying this game is not for him what do i tell him

[gilded fjord]

"this game is not for you"
but do you think that way?

"this game is not for him"
then so be it if he thinks that way

you cant exactly force people to like something, some people just dont like some stuff and thats ok

[lofty dagger]

yeah but like ik he likes it

[gilded fjord]

i know it can be sad and lonely that your friends arent abroad the thing you like but thats just how it is

[gilded fjord]

how do you know, did he not say that the game is not for him

[hidden gorge]

"well I really like this game, let me know if you ever change your mind I'll be happy to play with you again"

[gilded fjord]

thats a way to go about it yeah

[lofty dagger]

we are best friends we always play every game together like everygame and he liked this game in the beginning when we builded our house etc now we are in the farming point and he just quit

[gilded fjord]

well i mean, theres reasons why he quit the game, if you want to you can try understanding what those reasons are and mitigate it

if he dislikes the farming/grinding aspect of the game maybe you can take care of it for him

but there isnt much yo ucan do if he just doesnt like the way things are right now, and to force something upon him wouldnt exactly be nice

like ask why are you quitting, i love playing it with you, anything i can do to like make it less painful or more fun to you

[hidden gorge]

If he says it isn't for him, that means he doesn't like it. Don't delude yourself just because you do.

I literally bought a copy for one of my friends IRL and he also played a few hours before deciding he didn't like it either. We're still friends, we still do other stuff together, the game isn't for everyone.

[livid widget]

Stone portal is amazeballs

[livid widget]

There are ways to make it less grindy.

[lofty dagger]

example

[livid widget]

Turn up resources. Use no build cost. Use mods. etc

Use the modifiers to strike a balance that doesn't burn you out

Some turn up difficulty to offset the increased resource gain

[sly oyster]

resource gain is the big one, doesnt make th game easier just makes you spend less time slapping a tree in the woods

two people you should be on at least 2x

hard is uh, different, its more aggravating as it makes you play insanely slow in combat

[shy marlin]

?

[sly oyster]

you basically just cant get hit on hard and v hard

its just a damage multiplier + more 1-2* mobs

[shy marlin]

yes i'm fully aware, but that doesn't mean you play insanely slow in combat

In fact if you play slowly in combat on the harder difficulties that's a death sentence

[sly oyster]

you spend more time running away from things and avoiding fights. ive straight up seen people making platforms every 20 feet in the snow/plains to avoid being hit

basically everything after the woods one shots you

[shy marlin]

yes i'm fully aware, i exclusively play on very hard

[sly oyster]

yeah so im sure you just play rambo

[livid widget]

Even if you turn up resources and play on easy, do what makes it fun

[vocal rivet]

Really? I don't think you really need to touch the modifiers until 4 or more players really. Unless you REALLY hate resource gathering. But yeah, what Apex says, do what you need to actually enjoy the game.

[thorn wren]

1.5 seemed perfect for 3 players

[proper prism]

Damn you can change stuff like that now? Looks like there’s a bunch of new things to check out when going back to valheim in a few weeks

[gray sand]

Anyone else spawn a bunch of bonemaws vs. serpents and just watch the ocean battle?

[sharp raptor]

Bonemaws will fight regular serpents?

[livid widget]

I understand the ashlands complaints now

[gray sand]

Yes. Very yes.

[low warren]

man switching begtween valheim and elden ring is rough because of valheim's jank dodge binding lol

[distant field]

Do your vines spread to cover the whole of your trellis on both sides, and do they produce fruit on both sides too? Also, have you tried placing two rows of trellis (like my two rows of stone wall), and can you plant the vines between them?

If yes on all of those, I might start again with mine (I have way more than enough seeds).

[lost sentinel]

yknow the more i play ashlands the more i feel like the juke attacks really arent choreographed any differently

[sharp raptor]

Differently than what? The player power attack?

[lost sentinel]

than if they just do a regular attack

the skeletons

[sharp raptor]

I think they have like 3 attacks. regular swing, forward stab power attack like players (this is the one that has the juke) and then there's an upper cut attack

[lost sentinel]

they have jukes as well

[gray sand]

The feint attack is just a double-pump in terms of parry.
Click block as if it is normal, if you don't get a parry, immediately click again and you will.

[lost sentinel]

also i like how the flametal mace does noticeably less damage than mistwalker against these skeletons lol

[gray sand]

Also, trying out Demolisher for the first time... holy crap this weapon rocks.

[sharp raptor]

Do you have a lightning gem in it? Its the magic damage that really makes the flametal weapons pop

[gray sand]

Except lightning is a 1 time proc.

[lost sentinel]

didnt know that was a thing

[sharp raptor]

Gems are collected from the fortresses

[gray sand]

Whereas Spirit Damage from Mistwalker is every single hit.

[lost sentinel]

i am REALLY liking berserkir

[sharp raptor]

the dual axes are fire especially with a lightning or jade gem

[lost sentinel]

bro holy shit now im excited for gem stuff i had no idea that would be a thing

this is like monster hunter decos

[buoyant ridge]

hehe

[pseudo flume]

Yeah they boost up any flametal weapon

[buoyant ridge]

i yeeted myself down the tallest mountain in valhiem

[pseudo flume]

you got pushed by a golem?

[buoyant ridge]

NAH

i used a feather cape and jumped down it

took me a minute to touch the ground

posted it in clips it was kinda insane

[lost sentinel]

ok time to do a fortress ive just been hording for so long

has anyone else been getting lag spikes

[gray sand]

Lag how?

[lost sentinel]

idk seemingly at random in ashlands my game will just stutter

[distant field]

Yes. We get lag spikes too. And I’ve seen numerous people reporting it.

[lost sentinel]

bet that makes me feel better

[distant field]

They’re currently testing some changes to spawn rates, so, hopefully that helps.

[buoyant ridge]

hey does the harpoon launch still work?

[brisk cobalt]

I didn't make my trellises that close together, after some initial troubleshooting I decided to just turn a big old garden we had into a vineyard and give them plenty of space, so there's about 4 meters between each trellis, but they do grow and produce on both sides if you get the spacing right. Most are completely covered, a couple don't want to quite work right and I'm not sure why.

[sly oyster]

every time i fight an abom it just runs away at mach 12

is this normal...

[still patio]

Hey yall, I havent played since the games original release pretty much and im pretty lost on what the armor progression is as most guides and such are from quite a long time ago, what is the armor progression and tool progression? I know its like troll to bronze but what is it with all the new stuff?

[south dagger]

i think it goes:

1. leather armor
2. troll armor
3. bronze armor
4. iron armor
5. wolf armor
6. padded cuirass
7. carapace armor
8. flamemetal

[shy marlin]

Depends on your playstyle

[south dagger]

Yeah. you can get into magical related stuff I think? i haven't gotten that far. my friend has.

[shy marlin]

leather armor
troll armor/bronze
iron armor/root
wolf armor/fenris
padded cuirass
carapace armor/mage
flamemetal/ask/ashlandsmage

Can mix and match too

[south dagger]

as for pickaxe tools, it goes

1. antler pickaxe
2. bronze pickaxe
3. iron pickaxe
4. blackmetal pickaxe

a lot of this stuff is basically found directly on the valheim wiki on fandom

i asked microsoft co-pilot and its answers were abominable lol

[still patio]

There are different playstyles now? I guess im going to be playing normally and using a sword and bow and shooting things from range and a sword to attack people with

Also sorry for all the questions but what food do yall use? Im at the bronze stage getting into iron

[shy marlin]

Most people use a combination of health/stam food

2 stam 1 hp food or 2 hp 1 stam

[still patio]

Is there like a list somewhere that tells all the stam foods and such?

[shy marlin]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KX0oGtXOpUGnfBFS2GMi2jnfhCVTxhVMmTCiub45Hdg/edit?gid=2129217809#gid=2129217809

[still patio]

like right now im using turnip stew, deer stew and sausages, is that a good mix?

[shy marlin]

That's a decent mix yes

[still patio]

seems like its 1 stam and 2 health

im assuuming it would be good to change them out based on what im doing, like mining go to 2 stam 1 health and boss fighting 2 health 1 stam?

[shy marlin]

Yea, eating for what you're gonna to be doing is wise

Going on a forage run? stam food, going to fight some stuff/dungeon time? health food and pack some potions if you want

Valheim is all about preparation

[still patio]

i can see that lol

[livid cave]

game worth getting?

[buoyant ridge]

okay

y'all got check #memes-and-clips i flew so far

[daring geyser]

@livid cave you don't own valheim? It's a staple game, even people who dont play survivals get on it and enjoy it

[shadow rivet]

im discovering the swamp biome for the first time

wtf

im not going back in the water again

[fluid hull]

tbh leather armor should be buffed, give a speed bonus or smth

it's skippable, you can just skip to troll/bronze

[fluid hull]

its a nightmare

[hot bolt]

As a new player where do you get bones? The starting leather gear requires bones to upgrade it but not finding any in the meadows

[sly oyster]

theres also root armor

and its really nice, but kinda annoying to farm

[hot bolt]

that to me Syche or Dubgin?

I think root armor is not til swamp area

[sly oyster]

bones are in the forest in crypts, skeletons will also be around them

[tight yacht]

is there any way to place yggdrasil trees via console? or have one you cut regrow?

[livid cave]

Buy it for me pls 🙂

[livid widget]

So the true difficulty of Ashlands is the stupid amount of trash on the ground you are constantly picking up.

When does their tuning patch go live? I may shelf it until then.

[tepid prawn]

no one knows

[livid cave]

is there pvp in valheim

[tacit crown]

Just fight sir

[shadow rivet]

im on a boat rn and I dont know how to stop it

[tacit crown]

Drop the sail sir

[livid widget]

You gotta pull the ebrake

[shadow rivet]

is there any sea monsters?

[livid widget]

Shelfing the game until they improve ashlands. Catch you all in a few weeks!

[tacit crown]

DONT, YOU CAN BEAT IT SIR

[tepid prawn]

if you are playing solo the boat will stop once you jump off

[shadow rivet]

ahh good to know

[livid widget]

Or technically all players jump off 🙂

[still patio]

So is there any way of building underground?

[tepid prawn]

no you have to dig out and can pop a stone roof over the top is best you can do, or build underwater with devcommands, the rest is not possible in vanilla game

[still patio]

damn that sucks

[shadow rivet]

omg a huge snake

[tepid prawn]

||you can also dig under the elder altar, hollow out under it and build there, it will float and not need support and comes with a fire that never goes out||

[tepid prawn]

with good skill you can take it with a finewood bow, or drag to land with the harpoon, all the drops sink except the meat if you defeat it in water

make sure it doesnt fully eat your boat up far from land

[shadow rivet]

waht happend if I die in the water?

[tepid prawn]

you might have to make a new boat to get back to your body then

[shadow rivet]

is there any kraken?

[rain flare]

Not yet

[gilded fjord]

land kraken

[tepid prawn]

not a kraken but something called a leviathan (it does not attack you)

[shadow rivet]

is this the huge water snake ?

[shadow rivet]

well im glad

[gilded fjord]

more turtle like

but i dont think we ever really see how it looks like underwater

[tepid prawn]

No, that one is called a Serpent. (Serpent does attack you and your boat) The Leviathan looks like a floating rocky island and you can get something from it!

[tepid prawn]

you can look underwater with devcommands if you're so inclined

[elfin nova]

hy, i just tried to replant an oak tree a few times in the plains and the third time it dropped 9 seeds ! ? was that a bug or is the drop chance from 0 to 9 or more ?

[shy marlin]

what's your resource rate on?

[elfin nova]

everything vanilla standard

[shy marlin]

are you running any mods?

[elfin nova]

vanilla !

[shy marlin]

oh mb lmao it's late

hmmm, either you're on mods that you don't know of or you're on 3x resource rate or something

[tepid prawn]

should be 2-3 acorns on normal, and 6-9 on 3x modifier

on a 40% chance

[elfin nova]

well i know the wiki is wrong on some things, maybe on this one too ?

[shy marlin]

nah odds are there's something on your end here ngl lol

[elfin nova]

well the other drop rates are all acording to the wiki tho..

[gilded fjord]

could also be leftovers seed you didnt pick up

[gray sand]

Well this is a rare moment...

I ran out of Raspberries.

[wraith sun]

wow, the mace can 1 shot askvins if you parry them first

[gray sand]

No no, Ashlands is too difficult and needs to be nerfed into the ground 😉

[wraith sun]

glad i never claimed that 😄

[gray sand]

Here's a random one:

Does the woodchop swing of an axe count as an "attack"?

[wraith sun]

i don't think so since it doesn't allow you to chop trees the same way you attack enemies

[gray sand]

It doesn't let you continue the chain, but it is the same initial animation.

Wondering because if so, Asksvin Armor set could be god-tier for tree farming (for those of us who do it the non-cheese way).

[wraith sun]

is there a askvin armor set??

or do you mean the Ask armor?

and if it's for chopping trees then clothing is better if it's considered a "tool" xD

[gray sand]

The Ask set that is made out of Asksvin Hide?
Ergo Asksvin Armor 😉

[wraith sun]

with 35% stamina reduction

[wraith sun]

just wanted to make sure, sometimes some content remain hidden for a while ^^

[gray sand]

??????

[wraith sun]

hildir's quest, hood gives like 15% tool stamina reduction and the robe or what it's called gives another 20%

[gray sand]

"Base Item" though

So isn't that just Hammer, Hoe, and Cultivator?

[wraith sun]

i don't know - haven't tested it yet 🙂

only knows it works for cultivator (but still avoids using it in plains due to malaria)

remember ashen Cape for Ask armor if you want max stamina reduction if it counts as an attack

[gray sand]

I would assume Cultivator, Hoe, Hammer.

But that means Wiki needs updating because it says Hammer only 🙄

[wraith sun]

and they say developers are slow 🤣

[gray sand]

Will go to test world and spawn some stuff. One min.

[wraith sun]

i have reached a bad stage in my valheim experience now

harpoon has become a must have tool i always carry with me now :/

[gray sand]

Hildr Clothing does not affect axe chopping.

Ask armor does reduce stamina cost by 20%.

This is... 🎊

[wraith sun]

remember Ask Cape then 😄

[gray sand]

HOLY SHIT IT WORKS ON PICKAXE TOO.

NEW RESOURCE FARMING META.

[wraith sun]

lol

[gray sand]

Also, imagine a world where you can build a Tar Bomb for crowd control?

[rain flare]

People really undervalue Hildir’s stock
Legit it says ALL stamina use

[gray sand]

Just tested it though, it isn't all.

Addendum to my "Mistwalk or Krom for Ashlands"

Uh... Demolisher is a beast.

And idk how mob density is too high if you have Demolisher...
Just fought 10 charred and they couldn't even touch me given the knockback on this thing.

[rain flare]

What isn’t affected?

[gray sand]

Axe swings, for starters?

[rain flare]

Huh

[gray sand]

Hildr's clothing specifically stats "Base Item stamina"

-> Hammer, Hoe, Cultivator

[rain flare]

Interesting
They changed that since I last looked at the descriptions 🤔

[gray sand]

Entirely possible, especially given the sets for Ashlands.

So.. first non-flametal marker I have placed in Ashlands -> Found a very abandoned building that has so much vine on it, yields 81 Vineberries. 👀

[silk rivet]

It sure is. Once I get the demolisher I won't leave home without it anymore.
Only thing to replace it is staff of the wild, if you happen to go full mage in Ashlands. Else I'd still carry the big hammer 🙂

[gray sand]

I'm a no-mag for the time being 🤷‍♂️

[silk rivet]

I'm playing on a dedicated server, at first went with a melee build. But the lag in Ashlands when playing as team was so bad at times (and got me killed so often) that I decided to switch to mage. That plays a little better with lag than melee.

[gray sand]

Fair.
Solo player, so I don't have said issues.

[clear comet]

tbh there are moments where I almost died in ashlands

like the fact that 1 star askvin has the similar color scheme with regular askvin, therefore didn't expect it to deal like 100 damage to me

[gray sand]

We all die eventually.

[clear comet]

I haven't died in a while so I would probably be sad if I do

I have several skills on 60-70+ levels

[gray sand]

Thing that hurts most when I die is swimming skill tbh.

[clear comet]

swimming skill is such a pain to lvl up

I went from 40 to 10 and I don't bother grinding it up again

[frozen tiger]

Embrace death as a part of a journey. I use to have run 95 and died like 5 times in ashlands downgrading to 83

[gray sand]

I'm at 81.

[clear comet]

ouch

also, a lvl 70 axe vs lvl 20 axe is so noticeable

my friend tested it in pvp, and he took 70 damage vs 25 on my armor, despite him having better armor

[nocturne wolf]

Why have you been swimming so much? Are you avoiding boats for a challenge?

[gray sand]

There's a swamp on my seed that by itself has 1539 Iron.

I swim while smelting.

[frozen tiger]

Bro won't need a new ship for ashlands. He will just swim here

[gray sand]

My only real complaint since coming back is that you can hold E to put full stacks in chests, but you cannot hold E for full stacks in Smelters/Kilns 😭

[topaz owl]

Hi 😁
I have a question, and I'd appreciate any input.
My character is far from base on my main world, I've logged out of that world and I want to play a different world. If I play a different world, when I log back in to the main world will I spawn where I left, or at my bed?

[clear comet]

you'll spawn where you left

[topaz owl]

And you're 100% sure? I've been sailing for like 1.5 hours and it would be a tragedy

[hot fern]

100% sure

[topaz owl]

Thanks all 😁
Much appreciated 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[lyric olive]

Yeah you can?

[austere belfry]

why are trolls with clubs so much scarier

[lyric olive]

Because they have much higher range to hit you with attacks.

[gray sand]

Hold E is individuals. Not stacks.

[lyric olive]

I didn't know you can do that with stacks

Guess it doesn't matter 🤷

[gray sand]

Chests let you

[azure yacht]

It has always been base tool items

[worthy turtle]

is the copper found in mistlands diff from the ones in the black forest?

[tepid prawn]

its a different ore item but smelts to the same ingot

[worthy turtle]

ohh okayh

[tepid prawn]

black forest is called copper ore, mistlands copper scrap, both give you copper bar once smelted

[civic crypt]

Gives an Button to hide the UI to make an nicer screenshot??

[charred gale]

The game is fun and all until you realise the most difficult boss to beat is yourself… 😔 😱💔💔

[azure yacht]

Ctrl + F3

[civic crypt]

thanks

[plush umbra]

What Rianu said. If that does not work do ctrl + meta key (Windows key) + F3

[civic crypt]

at me is it works

win key is off when i play

[oak walrus]

i died in a fight against Fader and rage quited the game, im now going to go get my gear back. wish me luck guys... im going to need it

[austere belfry]

kinda cool to uncover the wooden beams of an old building that doesnt stand anymore while terraforming with the hoe

[oak walrus]

yeah that has happened to me, i once found the remains of a tower my friend built

[oak walrus]

mission successful✅ now i need to do some grinding and then ill rematch Fader.

[wraith sun]

nice

[oak walrus]

they have been just sitting on the ground for like a month

[worthy turtle]

are dvergers immune to poison?

[oak walrus]

i dont think so, i just saw a dvergr get poisoned. idk if he took dmg tho

[worthy turtle]

alright, ty

[oak walrus]

np

[gray sand]

Their only immunity is Spirit.

[merry pebble]

and mages are resistant to fire and frost

[clear comet]

what gear are you using? Also, fader is almost unbeatable with a melee build

[gray sand]

Challenge accepted. 😉

[clear comet]

Honestly if someone can beat fader in under 10 min in melee build I'll give my respects

[gray sand]

Well now you're putting a timer on it...

[clear comet]

His aoe is a death sentence for melee

[merry pebble]

i have done every boss until now with melee, Fader will not stop me now XD

[gray sand]

Queen took 10 minutes in melee 🤷‍♂️

[oak walrus]

my friend had max level mage stuff but he sold his pc so i will be doing this alone. i have full flametal armor plus slayer, i was thinking of getting the berserkir axes. oh man, i thought you said "almost unbatable WITHOUT a melee build"

[clear comet]

queen has physical resist though

fader doesn't, the problem is the aoe that prevents you from getting close to him

[gray sand]

You underestimate my power!

[merry pebble]

fader is resistant ot pierce i believe, same as queen

[gray sand]

All bosses resist pierce.

[clear comet]

all bosses resist pierce yeah

[gray sand]

Otherwise arrows would be king.

[clear comet]

except like a few of them

It took me 20 min to beat fader with a group of 3

I was the designated mage, and I gotta say, my buddies died at least 5 times

[merry pebble]

eikthyr doesent, elder doesent, moder doesent

[clear comet]

I did say a few

[merry pebble]

you said all, and thats nearly half of them 🙂

[clear comet]

more than half resist pierce

[gray sand]

Since when is Moder not pierce resistant?

[clear comet]

I guess I have to be more specific, late game bosses

[merry pebble]

that would be acurate statement 😄

[clear comet]

moder doesn't, it would be unfair otherwise

[gray sand]

I will have to roll through very old patch notes it seems.

[clear comet]

late game bosses resist pierce I suppose because it would make their fights super trivial

[gray sand]

Because I recall all bosses being pierce resistant to discourage "everyone just uses bows always" gameplay.

[clear comet]

also, funny thing about fader

poison arrows is a viable strategy with him

since he doesn't resist poison

if you have a high enough bow level, that %damage modifier from poison arrows is significant enough

[oak walrus]

wait a second, i just read something abt fader that he does the spike attack when he is missing roughly 75% of his hp, if i remember right when i fought him, that was one of the first attacks he did

[clear comet]

no lol, he does it from the start

[oak walrus]

bs forum then.

[clear comet]

I fought him with my team and yeah, he balls it in like

the first 80-90% health?

[oak walrus]

damn

[unique onyx]

i don't think any of the bosses in valheim have phases

[clear comet]

anyway, poison arrows + draugr fang is a decent combo for beating fader

(if you're archer)

[oak walrus]

i found an useful strat for getting rid of fader's minions: if he does the spike attack after summoning, just run by all the skellies and they get obliterated by the spikes. someone probably found this out before me but i thought it was cool.

[clear comet]

honestly the minions isn't the biggest problem

the spikes are, it's basically an insta gib

[oak walrus]

yeah but killing 2 birds with one stone

the spikes are horrible but theyre easy to evade

[gray sand]

Queen kinda does in that she gets more tunnel-happy later on.

But it's the same mechanics. Just more frequent.

[unique onyx]

that's just her ability they added to keep people from auto attacking her with a hammer from the cubby

[clear comet]

I would say best way for fader is to have two players ngl

[shy marlin]

Not true

[clear comet]

It's true, but it depends on whether or not you're fighting him on range or melee

when all of my teammates (who uses melee) dies, he keeps using spikes every 2nd chance to do so

[oak walrus]

with my internet id say no, my friend kept getting kicked out and i was unable to parry/evade due to the horrible ping (like 200-300ping)

[clear comet]

from my experience the best way to beat fader is to have a melee aggro who forces him to use his melee attacks (which are easier handled with bonemass) and a mage who focuses on dps

[shy marlin]

It’s not, I’ve sank 50 ish hours studying his AI doing no hit/no armor/no magic great sword only challenge run and he legit has never done ground spike aoe before like 85% hp

[gray sand]

@clear comet figured out how to kill him in melee in under 10 minutes 😁

[clear comet]

I did say he starts using it around 80-90% HP, so I suppose what you've said is true

[gray sand]

Walk into melee.
F5 killall
😉😁

[clear comet]

It's deffo not 50% though

[unique onyx]

there are no phases in valheim like that, it's just you being a certain distance and/or the boss deciding to use that ability

[oak walrus]

yeah that was our tactic, i popped bonemass and my friend shot vines at him while i was using my middle mouse slayer attack on him

[shy marlin]

Ya, he can’t use it at 100% tho 👍

[clear comet]

problem is once he starts using his ranged attacks

[clear comet]

probably, so basically lightly injured

but yeah fader is absolutely a duo or even trio preference

with one person focus on the damage and the other tanking the aggro

[oak walrus]

problem was when my friend got thrown out of the game every 3 mins, and the biggest problem was when he got kicked out the second he died... bye bye max level staffs plus max level emblem set

[wraith sun]

is it possible to drop him into a pit filled with pufferfish and Eitr and just let him suffer in there?

[shy marlin]

Yep

[clear comet]

he does have no poison resist, so possibly...

[gray sand]

Eitr, the great boss slayer.

[clear comet]

ah the disconnect where you lose all your stuff?

[shy marlin]

You can create a pit (outside of boss arena cause you can’t dig inside) put wood floors over it, lure him over, make him do his spin attack which breaks the floors and gg he’s in his lil hole

[clear comet]

that would trivialize the fight

[oak walrus]

yup. so its more usual than i thought? i thought it has happened to almost no one

[clear comet]

and actually really smart

[shy marlin]

Yep, it’s a cheese strat for sure

[gray sand]

Vikings don't fight fair, we fight to win.

[clear comet]

it happened to me once, it deffo sucks

regardless if you need help for fader, I can lend a hand later

[unique onyx]

seems like if you're using the console to spawn puffer fish and what not that the easiest cheese strat would just be turning on fly

[clear comet]

or just !kill all

[gray sand]

I've never spawned eitr for bosses. I legit make 200 of them if I go that route.

[oak walrus]

it does, it was the final nail in the coffin for my bro. i whipped out the dev commands to get his gear back (its not cheating right?🤔 )

[clear comet]

it's not if it's due to lag tbh

[oak walrus]

yeah that was my thought too

[clear comet]

consider it the circumstances

[gray sand]

Fader sounds like I want to make more than 200 though.

[clear comet]

did your bro made a magic trainer btw? If he does, he should have it easy in fader fight

I'm at lvl 60 elemagic and still took a while

[oak walrus]

ill try and fight him on my own first.

[clear comet]

goodluck, if things comes to a shove, cheese methods, or draugrfang + poison arrows might work

[oak walrus]

nah, he sold his pc after the fight so he wont be coming back for a while

[oak walrus]

thanks

[unique onyx]

there are lots of ways to cheese in valheim but you're only really cheating yourself. another popular way is fires lol

[slender rover]

My Fader arena is pretty bad in the sense that it has lava basically all around it in every direction but a narrow slice south, so external pits weren't really an option and of course you can't dig or raise in the arena itself (which by the way devs is nonsense, that's one of the best things about boss fights in Valheim is clever options).

I ended up surrounding the arena in a ring of raised earth with a few thousand stone gathered. First time I killed him I just dropped a few trolls on his head and used magic to support. The range on his spike attack is stupidly far, though, and he still managed to fling spikes so far that he could kill me right at the edge of the range of the Fader fight trigger despite being held to the center.

Second time I tested out Askvin. 23 1* Askvin took him down about 2/5 of his health before he spiked them. I then waded in to try melee, but he literally did nothing but spam spike attacks and summons until I ran out of stamina and died.

So I came back in mage gear and again trolled and Vine'd him to death from a distance.

My arena is really quite terrible though because there are elevation changes inside of it too. Seeing some others in videos where the whole thing is flat and there isn't dangerous lava all around would probably make life a bit easier.

[unique onyx]

that sucks, there's probably 2-3 other locations on your map that might be better though?

[oak walrus]

is there literally any way to know the time of day in valheim?

[slender rover]

Quite possibly. Regardless, I have a Fader head on my power stone and another on my trophy wall of enemies shamed, so for now no motivation to bother fighting him again.

[azure yacht]

Look at the sun and lighting around you

[oak walrus]

valheim tends to be extremely sunny and in minutes its pitch black

[azure yacht]

Because minutes in real life are hours in the game

[unique onyx]

yeah 24 hours in game is 30 minutes. 21 day 9 night .. so saying minutes later is night is very acurate

[oak walrus]

yeah ik

[slender rover]

Sunset takes on an orange hue, much like real life, so knowing roughly how long since dawn and watching the sky is a viable way. Weather makes it harder to tell, granted

[oak walrus]

im about to go mine some flametal ore and havent paid attention to the time cus ive been chatting here so im kinda lost abt the time

wohoo just hit day 600

[gray sand]

Limit your Comfort to +14.
Rested timer will be 21 minutes, which is the exact day length.

So when you wake up, you have a "night timer" built in.

That's what I do 🤷‍♂️

Literally a "be home before dark" timer.

[oak walrus]

yeah ig that could work but i prefer longer rested effect

[worthy turtle]

is fenris armor sufficient to fight yagluth?

[gray sand]

I mean. I sleep through the night. So I literally always have Rested running. 🤷‍♂️ longer timer wouldn't change the 100% uptime on the buff that I currently have.

[oak walrus]

do the flametal ore spiky things go under lava still? i read something abt it that they dont do that anymore

[oak walrus]

im usually stuck in some battle during the night when im out wandering

[gray sand]

That's because you were out at night 😉

[oak walrus]

i guess:D

[gray sand]

I am home before night.

[oak walrus]

how u make that whiter text?

[gray sand]

You have to really mean what you're saying.

[oak walrus]

ah yes

i just saw a dvergr dip his feet in the lava and plop over dead

poor fella

literally poor, he had 2 coins on him and i robbed him.

[gray sand]

I wonder what happens if you spawn tar_liquid over lava. 🤔

[oak walrus]

something interesting i assume

[azure yacht]

Yes

Mobility is more important for yagluth

[oak walrus]

do the flametal spires go under lava anymore?

[azure yacht]

In PTB no

[oak walrus]

oh man

so ill need to be very quick

im at the top of the spire with no feather cape... oh no

yup i sank myself in the lava

[azure yacht]

On the (literally) bright side, feather cape wouldn't have done anything against lava, and might have even make you die faster due to fire weakness

[oak walrus]

yeah ig, just as i was reading your message an asksvin jumped me... i bet you know how that ended

[distant field]

Yes. They’re currently testing a change to them, and some other Ashlands stuff, but it’s not rolled out to everyone. And when it does it may not do so in its current form.

[oak walrus]

alright, thanks for the info

we went last night with some friends (group of 4) for the first time to ashland, the truth I loved this biome to be fighting constantly is really nice, the problem is if you die to group again or recover things is the complicated if you go step by step it feels very good if you work as a team I do not feel they are many enemies. we besieged a fortress and we were defeated first, but it was for lack of teamwork when we returned having already learned from our mistakes it felt very good
