[near bear]

the secret is to hold A or D as you slowly approach them

they literally cant hit you if you hold strafe down

[distant field]

Have you done the Hildir quests?

[buoyant ether]

i have not

[distant field]

Well there’s only one raid that happens away from base structures, which is wolves, and only one black humanoid mob type, which are called Fenrings, and their raids only start happening after one of said quests.

But Fenrings do also spawn in the mountains at night. So I reckon you had a wolf raid and some Fenrings just happened to tag along.

[austere belfry]

i keep sidetracking my progression cuz i cant stop building shit even tho i have barely unlocked the interesting building materials

[distant field]

Have you beaten Bonemass, @buoyant ether?

[buoyant ether]

yeah

and there was only 2 black humanoid kind of mobs, no wolves or nothing

so im guessing its that then

[foggy glacier]

probably. though you don't usually see two of them together unless it's a raid.

[clever saffron]

A Skeleton Suprise

[distant field]

Yep. It takes a little while for the wolves to appear. Two Fenrings together is rare, but possible. But they do move fast and are very aggressive.

[unreal veldt]

Drakes are so annoying they bombard you every 15 seconds

[drowsy magnet]

it's good not to stay in one place

like setting up a new base far away every time you beat a boss

[unreal veldt]

thats what im currently doing in my playthrough

on my 3rd base

im not even going to try to establish a 4th base in the mountains im sticking with a small shelter with a portal to my 3rd base

moder is a long way from my 3rd base tho

itll be a long boat ride there

[drowsy magnet]

why? mountain bases are the best!

[unreal veldt]

not much flat area to build on

[drowsy magnet]

gotta find a larger mountain with a flat area

[unreal veldt]

my biggest challenge right now is building a bunch of stairs down to the meadows so i can drag a wagon to the top so i can get the silver ore i just mined

[ornate sigil]

The roof pieces work like a ramp for carts too. Just make sure you have plenty of landings so you can recharge your stamina.

[sly oyster]

mfw my cart went into the water and now im walking on it

totally gonna use this to build my wall out

[ornate sigil]

#screenshots message

Like this?

[sly oyster]

yeah

[hidden gorge]

that's kinda part of the charm

but it does take some time to grow into it and make it look nice -- if you've got multiple bases that can be particularly time consuming

[ornate sigil]

Charm and challenge.

[drowsy magnet]

sticking to one base gets old quick, for me and my crew at least

so we build a new one every boss and we assign tasks, who builds what

[buoyant ether]

Far away from The earlier one? Or ?

Thats not a Bad idea

Am tryna not have The same bases as last time

[ornate sigil]

I usually have a base in most biomes (typically skip black forest and mountains and just have a outpost for the sake of getting a rested buff & storage). Eventually, the meadows base gets downgraded once I reach plains.

[buoyant ether]

Im still feening for that mountaun base

Also might add The mod that adds deepnorth + adds to mistlands and ashlands

Once im done with plains

[drowsy magnet]

yep, scout out for the farthest place on the other side of the world 🤣

in the early game it's easy, we don't need to carry much
but later we pack the boat with carts and sail off

[warm sandal]

just destroy the cart carry up the pieces and build it up there? no stairs needed to drag it up unless you absolutely want to

[buoyant ether]

Maybe i should disable stuff thru portals, would add a lot to The run

Im just very impatient 😭

[molten axle]

That’s true Easy Mode

[drowsy magnet]

you should! at least try it once

[jagged wind]

That could break the deep north once its released

[drowsy magnet]

we're looking at least a year before we see anything Deep North

I imagine they'll take two years more to make the final biome really perfect

[kindred linden]

its a pretty cool mod

[clever saffron]

What’s better fenris or silver armor

[buoyant ether]

why would it do that ? ofc id play it in a different world

[buoyant ether]

depends, fenris is rly good for tis mobility, silver gives protecc

[serene talon]

why, in big black forests when i am looking for trolls i never find one, but the second there is a miniscule black forest biome 2 of them spawn

well first troll in my new world down

[unique onyx]

if it's towards the center it just has to do with the way they made that area spawn 🌟

[austere belfry]

the raspberries look like strawberries

[serene talon]

i guess they look like that because of the low poly shape, with raspberries irl being more uneven

[buoyant ether]

goddamn its hard to find a server WITH what im looking for 😫 😫

[amber fern]

Opinion wanted: I just cleared my first crypt since playing again, what's the first thing I should invest iron into?

[buoyant ether]

most are modded to all hell or just normal difficulty...

[buoyant ether]

armor ofc

[amber fern]

Really armor? I expected pick axe, or shield

[buoyant ether]

u can do with a worse pickaxe until u get more iron, armor is what lets u fuck and stay alive the best so i'd prioritize that

[amber fern]

You make a valid case

[buoyant ether]

then maybe weapon or shield, depending, then pickaxe etc

😎

[merry pebble]

boat, pickaxe, mace (mace not really necesseary but very nice for bonemass)

[distant field]

I posted this the last time this question was asked…

For any new materials I feel my priority list goes something like:

Boats > crafting table upgrades > shields > armors > weapons

[amber fern]

I appreciate all the advice, I gotta ask though, why boat? the bronze boat is pretty decent, is it just speed?

[hidden gorge]

and cargo capacity

[merry pebble]

yeah, it will make taking iron and other metals home much easier

[trail lotus]

bronze boat will take damage if you are in a storm in the ocean

[amber fern]

Interesting, ok ok I got it thanks guys

[merry pebble]

even longship will, but it has more hp

[hidden gorge]

only if you're piloting the ship poorly. karve can take stormy ocean swells just fine if you're not reckless

[ornate sigil]

Karve: small storage, easy to maneuver, could be sank easier by accident or serpents. mostly used as a scout ship once you get a longship(if at all).
Longship: more storage, faster top speed, harder to maneuver, more health/harder to sink. Can be used to transport tames easier than karve.

[merry sun]

Drakkar is only used to go to Ashlands, i think he is faster than longship but his size is just annoying to maneuver

Always using karve, only using Longship when i need to transport some metals

[summer ruin]

I have a question :)) Can Valheim do so ppl can make A family ? idk where to text so i just text here :))

[merry sun]

Steam family?

[summer ruin]

No uhm in-game

[trail canyon]

he wanna mate with someone

[summer ruin]

Like to be a child

[merry sun]

LOL

[summer ruin]

Girl :))

[merry sun]

probably this could be a mod

[trail canyon]

she*

[summer ruin]

I could be fun ngl aha :))

[trail canyon]

wrong server my guy

[merry sun]

But this is far way from the game purpose

you still can make some breeds with tames and watch babies grow into his adult forms

[trail canyon]

is there a mod that creates npcs?

i havent dabbled in mods for this game at all

[summer ruin]

I mean that people can be a child in the same way that you can be both children and adults ik that they do that in bed because it's just silly :))

Sorry my english is very bad 🙂

[native plover]

does upgrading the trollstav increase the troll damage/hp?

[warm sandal]

i alway invest first in the iron axe to kill aboms more quick 😄

[charred gale]

what is the dundr supposed to be good for

[warm sandal]

and then the bow and then i will not make anything for a while because i want the root armor 😄

[native plover]

many are wondering the same thing

[warm sandal]

hunting aboms and emptying out more crypts

[charred gale]

ha okay

[azure yacht]

Morgens and single targets

[native plover]

still slower TTK than lightning nidhogg/slayer

[buoyant ether]

naughty naughty

[summer ruin]

Ofc :))

[unique onyx]

it's probably for fire sword in ice biome, hard to say till the game is done

[ornate sigil]

Might be a key item for your trip to Valhalla at the end of it all(wild speculation only).

[native plover]

so upgrading trollstav doesnt do anything beyond durability?

[amber fern]

How does armor work? just flat damage reduction equal to armor value or what?

[nocturne wolf]

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

[sly oyster]

maaaaan i just found a triple afk surtling spawner in my 48 crypt swamp

so you can walk a straight line and hit 7 spawners, or afk at 3 now, so goood

[plush umbra]

Can i disable the hoe's dust particles when using it

[merry pebble]

i dont think so

[ornate sigil]

If you can find the spawners ID then you could try the forcedelete command. Otherwise I don't know.
This list, toward the bottom, I have seen "spawner" listed:https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs

[clever saffron]

Is it worth making fenris claws without the armor

[fossil delta]

I have to say its amazing running/jumping around the Mistlands with the feathered cloak and run and jump in the 90's. Then with the stamina regen mead, yeah, we can cover a lot of ground pretty fast.

[frail wagon]

Askvin cape my beloved ❤️

[grand ravine]

asksvin cape+fenris set

[frail wagon]

i didnt really experince the moutins that much?
blew threw it in a day

[foggy glacier]

I have to agree with @fossil delta. Before I get Eitr, probably 90% of my deaths are from emulating StoneMountain64 (falling)

I can't live without the feather cape.

[grand ravine]

shame. mountains can be pretty fun. fenris set gives +movement speed

[frail wagon]

askvin cape is great.
Feather cape is kinda useless in ashlands do the lack of hights

[fervent minnow]

Skull emoji

[summer ruin]

wha

[fervent minnow]

that is all

[merry sun]

being the best weapon ingame

[frail wagon]

yelling like an old farmer at graydwarfs who get on your land

[grand ravine]

i like both ashlands capes, but mostly been using ashen

[frail wagon]

(i fucking love the dundr)

[merry sun]

Bro i never expected Dundr would get this use (gene)

[frail wagon]

i use it like a DB shotgun for wild punks who get on MY land

[grand ravine]

dundr seems ok? but i dont have a lot of ele skill. so far tend to not use staffs much..

[merry sun]

paradox

[sly oyster]

night time, storming, boat full of iron. where the serpents at i want some meat

night storms on the ocean are so asthetically pleasing

[merry sun]

Valheim is aestethical by himself

[grand ravine]

lol yeah. but imean, so far i kinda prefer physical weapons. im kindof on the fence about eitr foods/gear

[merry sun]

these stylized graphics are gorgeous

[merry sun]

Ye me too. Melee seems a lot more challenging

[grand ravine]

kinda more interested in crossbows than shotguns

[frail wagon]

etir food is alot more annoying to make then health

[frail wagon]

cant wait for the LMG staff in DN 😄

[grand ravine]

tbf, i usually hate shotguns in games. i want range

[merry sun]

MLG

[frail wagon]

sniper staff...

[grand ravine]

yes please

[merry sun]

MLG is more fun

[merry sun]

Oh, i think shotguns are pretty funny in fps and zombie games

Much more for the visual of your enemy blowing up

[grand ravine]

lol there is that

[frail wagon]

dn staffs are gonna be alil funky

id bet

[grand ravine]

well. ashlands has royally screwed my skill levels. I'd been away from games generally for a while, bout a month ago i got back in to tackle mistlands. skills took a hit, but. ashlands has absolutely tanked them.

[frail wagon]

i already beat fader so im just waiting for smth new

[grand ravine]

i been having a lot of fun. lol

[frail wagon]

i hated fader alot

[grand ravine]

i havent done a tonnn yet. got most mats, but only just approaching the "farming" stage. still haven't seen a bonemaw

[frail wagon]

i hope you have some harpoons on hand.
and look for funny lights in the water

[grand ravine]

i have a few harpoons. do mats sink like scales?

[frail wagon]

pretty sure their meat and teeth float just uh...
make sure when you kill them you kill them VERY close to land

[grand ravine]

because water heat you mean?

[frail wagon]

yeah

because if you kill them in even somewhat deep water your gonna die before you can get the stuff

[grand ravine]

challenge accepted

seems like about 10 seconds before the water starts to burn

also im a little disappointed we can't ride lox through stone portal :/

[dull temple]

this game so addicting haha

[grand ravine]

one of the best games in years, hands down

[dull temple]

yes, specially when playing with your friends

[grand ravine]

yep. only have one friend that really plays with me. I'm trying to get my brother into it. so far all he wants to do is build though...

[sly oyster]

is the plains hilder boss hard?

[grand ravine]

only if you don't like dying

[grand ravine]

it's not so bad if you have mistlands gear

[sly oyster]

hmm guess ill wait, i was wanting to finish that till i found out the theres still only two slots for the clothes

[grand ravine]

two slots?

[empty blaze]

for wood walls what is the back?

[sly oyster]

only the chest and helmet, i was h oping itd be 4 slots for like 100% stam or something

after living in the plains so long when i go to the meadows and a bird flies by im pulling my sword and shield out lmao

[grand ravine]

oh, yeah. and if i understand correctly, that buff only applies to hammer/hoe/cultivator? there are other fun things though.

[sly oyster]

yeah stam usage annoys the hell outta me when im building/terraforming

[grand ravine]

yeah hoe stam usage is outta control

[vocal rivet]

Time to visit Hildir.

[shy marlin]

people use hildir clothes?

[grand ravine]

while building, sure

or to look pretty while sailing >.>

[vocal rivet]

That's what they're for, yeah.

[shy marlin]

I love how you have me blocked derek yet you still respond, a true classic

Wait holy you unblocked lmao

[vocal rivet]

I don't?

[shy marlin]

You used to I know that for sure

[light snow]

Unlucky get on my level

[vocal rivet]

I've blocked most people at some point and no doubt vice versa.

[shy marlin]

I'll never be as good as you @light snow

[light snow]

It's a privilege to be blocked by him.

[shy marlin]

Truly

[mortal pebble]

I made a fresh save in valheim but I started with Eikthyr and Elder's heads on stones already?

[safe flower]

I spent all last night looking for this fallen Valkyrie, getting so annoyed as that’s our current road block for gear

[grand ravine]

listen for them

[safe flower]

I’m finding the magic path seems pretty weak in Ashlands at first

[grand ravine]

and look up

[safe flower]

Been looking up all the time, but what do they sound like?

[grand ravine]

hmmm

half squawk, half chitter?

[fair cairn]

thats not a new world

[grand ravine]

hard to describe maybe. but it's distinctive, so listen for anything abnormal. couple different sounds they make iguess, one is allllmost like a seeker, but lower in pitch. one is like a ....choked caw?

[feral venture]

is the frostner club better than the iron mace?

[mortal pebble]

I mean, I deleted previous one and DID make a new one

xD

[fair cairn]

in the job of a mace the iron one is better

if your looking to slow down(frost) your enemies and kill them (not quite as fast ) and well to kill kill undead quickly (spirit)

[junior forge]

Is it possible to get valheim mods on Xbox?

[left hull]

Do all tamable animals need to stand on solid ground in order to breed?

[ornate sigil]

Ground, no. But a flat surface I am fairly certain, yes. Hence why breeding towers work with a single floor piece per animal.

[junior forge]

Is it guys?

[fair cairn]

why not ask in #mods-discussion

[junior forge]

Aight

[vocal rivet]

But no, sadly.

[ornate sigil]

A good piece of info to have is why. Is it simply Xbox doesn't allow for modded content or is the modding community just so new for that platform that there is no content yet, ect. So far, I have not heard a reason, just that there are no mods for Xbox.

[fossil delta]

For a great many years there were no mods on console, period. I have seen mention of there now being mods for a few games I follow.

So from my limited knowledge the limitation is lack of mod creators.

[frail wagon]

Yes

[nocturne wolf]

It depends on what you’re fighting. It is more effective against most enemies, but not stone golems, Moder or lox. I usually keep both a frostner and iron mace on me in mountains.

[vocal rivet]

The former. I think some games CAN now, but that's down to the individual developers.

[nocturne wolf]

For a game to have mods on console the mod support needs to be built into the game

[vocal rivet]

Well paraphrased.

[tulip patrol]

Maybe once Valheim officially launches they can work on Console mods. If Skyrim and Fo4 can do it thru Bethesda.net on consoles im sure Iron Gate could think of a way to do it. But while in early access, No point since it wouldnt be stable for consoles

[vocal rivet]

They don't support PC mods so I can't see them doing it for console.

[distant field]

There's also extra hoops to jump through for mods on XBox - Microsoft won't allow just any mod - they have to be curated by the devs/publisher.

[tulip patrol]

wait theres no PC mod support yet. What are modders using than.

[vocal rivet]

Third party tools.

[tulip patrol]

hmm interesting. didnt know that

[nocturne tundra]

Is it possible to get a charred fortress to explode? I've battering rammed the base of the full outer & center tower walls but it hasn't blown up

[carmine kestrel]

Are we allowed to post screen captures here?

[azure yacht]

#screenshots

[carmine kestrel]

x.x yeah but I need advice was why I was asking

[vocal rivet]

You can post images in #valheim-help

[carmine kestrel]

I hope someone answers x.x ty

Yeah no one answered XD I figured as much. so... I guess the question is... If most of your starting area is Black Forest with small spots of meadows and two tiny mountain spots, should you keep that map or try again?

[nocturne wolf]

Lots of black forest with some nearby mountains is a very good starting area

[trail lotus]

black forest mean copper all around you its good for start

[carmine kestrel]

ty ty

[clever saffron]

Is the silver armor good for plains

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, I always use it going from mountains to plains

[plush umbra]

it's the intended heavy armor set to first enter plains in yea

[fossil delta]

If you hate getting pierced on the plains, both by squittos and fulings, you may want to keep using the root harness.

[jagged wind]

i mean it's good, but padded armor is better once u can make it 😅

and yes.. root chest is a MUST have in plains

it will just save u from so many deaths when u r attacked by multiple deathsquitos

[nocturne wolf]

Silver armor is good enough for deathsquitos but if you have fenris armor keep the root harnesk

[jagged wind]

the root chest is too op to change it for anything

[sly oyster]

the movement penalty is pretty severe so most people are running root body, best helm they can make, and fenris leg in the plains

[nocturne wolf]

Unless you’re at your first fuling village and don’t have fire resistance mead for the shamans

[jagged wind]

hmm, tbh didnt meet any shaman yet sadly, all camps were without them

[nocturne wolf]

I never find enough fenris hair for any fenris armor

[sly oyster]

2* fuling do 180 on hard to that setup so you can survive, even more so on normal

you can get enough for legs in like 2 caves

[jagged wind]

i'm not going anywhere near to a 2 star fuling 😅

[sly oyster]

you also have the hildir howling cave to loot

[jagged wind]

i'd just raise ground and shoot him with bow

[nocturne wolf]

The hair doesn’t generate for me because of luck. I know what objects to look for, they just aren’t there.

I never even saw a cultist in my first world and went to at least 3 frost caves

[sly oyster]

i feel dumb i never upgraded my fenris legs, so 2* fuling do less than 180 in that setup lol

i dont think ive seen a cave without hair on the walls

[unique onyx]

older seeds don't generate newer things that well i think it's why they get updated. i don't think it's really a current bug, more of something existing in older worlds

[nocturne wolf]

Old worlds do generate new things in areas that haven’t been explored

[unique onyx]

they do, but they don't seem to generate correctly

for instance, ashlands older world the shortline generates like 50 feet inland

[sly oyster]

deathsquitos do 19 damage with padded helm, root body, fenris legs on hard lol

[rotund dust]

Okay, so I have Moder, and Yag discovered, both not killed. If I kill Moder, what Raids Open/Close? Contemplating if I do it now or later.

I haven't found Merchant/Clothes Lady Yet

[unique onyx]

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

[rotund dust]

Spoilers tho, now I know the last boss is Called Darth Fader 😦

[vocal rivet]

We have no idea what the last boss is called.

[unique onyx]

well given hello moder, hello fader... we can assume that it's probably camp granata

[rotund dust]

I went to 3 Frost Caves, and had level 4, of all 3 pieces, RNG is RNG

[rotund dust]

Is Moder and Fader, mother and father in some language?

[distant field]

Swedish

According to Google Translate

Danish too, it seems.

[slim latch]

Alrighty y’all, who decided that wolves deal slashing damage?

[rotund dust]

Will 22 Chests or Ruby/Amber be enough when i finally find the merchant? Also have 11000 gold in piles.

Unsure if Inflation has hit him yet

[hidden gorge]

it's one banana, michael. what could it cost, $10?

[distant field]

You might want another chest or two… 🤣

[rotund dust]

Okay, thanks 🙂

[drowsy magnet]

me

[slim latch]

Why….

[fossil delta]

Should be plenty, unless you want to be able to afford making multiples of certain weapons at lvl 4, and want to buy lots of eggs once you defeat the 5th boss.

[rotund dust]

We get pet dragons now? 😮

[fossil delta]

No. Something else.

[rotund dust]

HYPE

[fossil delta]

The eggs are 1,500 gold each.

[foggy glacier]

Definitely Haldor's most overpriced item.

[fossil delta]

Not much else to use the gold for.

[rotund dust]

Only thing I can think of that would come from eggs would be, Necks, Leeches, Drakes, and Serpents.. OMG We Get Serpents?!

[fossil delta]

No, totally new creature.

[rotund dust]

Makes me want to find him even more now 😮

[fossil delta]

Used for Mistlands.

I'll spoil it completely if you want me to.

[rotund dust]

No thanks 😄

[sacred tinsel]

Anyone else have terrible lag in Ashlands? Local game, no build items around, 14700/3070/96GB RAM.

super annoying, caused an unavoidable death

[fossil delta]

I haven't gotten to Ashlands yet. Getting used to the new boat.

So far I hate it.

Looks awesome, but I thought the long boat was bad...

[visual thistle]

im bored someone inv me to their world

NOW!

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510

[visual thistle]

takes too long

[quaint oriole]

Dont have a server or world but am trying to join someone for a fresh start

[fervent minnow]

valheim

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510

[quaint oriole]

been trying that its just old worlds no one new

[fossil delta]

That sucks.

[sacred tinsel]

Yeah I use it to get to the Ashlands, but still longship for exploring. The new boat is too unwieldy and annoying

[fossil delta]

I made the mistake of taking it into Mistlands. I don't even want to get back on the boat.

[sacred tinsel]

lol

ya can't even imagine taking that thing up a mistlands fjord

[fossil delta]

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so hard to find actual shallow water to destroy it in.

[rotund dust]

Sounds like you need a Raft 🙂

[sacred tinsel]

just go crazy with a tail wind up onto a sandy beach

[fossil delta]

I actually like the Karve the best.

[sacred tinsel]

Eh the speed difference is too significant imo

[rotund dust]

Except it cant carry enough 😦

[fossil delta]

When I am exploring, its more about me carrying it.

[sacred tinsel]

I also find it annoying managing the karve in heavy seas, you constantly get thrown off course

[fossil delta]

True.

This new ship feels more like it controls the ocean...

[distant field]

Yep. Similar specs.

[sacred tinsel]

I play with low death penalty settings or I'd be raging. Died to a charred warrior where the game just froze for about 2 seconds right as I was about to parry

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I am thinking of changing to that setting. I have several skills in the 80's and 90's.

[sacred tinsel]

Do it. The game is too buggy and janky not to

Last playthrough I had zero legit deaths, and two lategame deaths to bugs. One was hysterical - asksvin charged me while my back was to an incline, and we both launched like 100 yards into the air

[fossil delta]

Part of why I am holding off going is to give time for the current ptp fixes to go public.

[sacred tinsel]

eh none of those is going to fix some of the fundamental bizarro bugs in the game

[fossil delta]

I've died 4 or 5 times this play through. All due to my own mistakes, so won't complain.

[distant field]

I’m not sure those are going fix the lag.

[fossil delta]

Were you playing during the first 6 months it was released in EA? They have fixed a LOT of issues over the years.

[silent fable]

[distant field]

I was not. But I am sure that they will fix it eventually. I just am not convinced the lag is caused by spawn rates. And that seems to be what they’re focussed on currently.

[fossil delta]

They have a work list on the official website. Its still pretty long.

Which tells me why its staying in play test for so long.

[sly oyster]

sure would be nice to knoiw where yag was lol

[austere belfry]

half a beech tree log is trapped on top of a giant oak tree because when I cut down the beech, it fell against the oak and some how lodged itself perpendicular to the oak's trunk

[fossil delta]

I find him by sailing far more often than finding whatever those things are called.

[rotund dust]

I found Yag, in my first plains, 7 steps in, cos i fell down a mountain, Vegvisirs are easy 😛

[fossil delta]

That happens fairly often when I cut down my tree farms.

[distant field]

I believe that’s more that most of the team is (or has been) on holiday.

[sly oyster]

i go sail, it gets foggy

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure the whole team went on holiday. They understand the value of time off.

[distant field]

Absolutely.

[rotund dust]

Its like when the game first released, and they blew up in sales, they all disappeared for a month, to sip cocktails on golden sandy beaches 😂

[fossil delta]

If I were them, thats what I would have done.

Plus they were what? 4 people back then?

[rotund dust]

4 or 5, was very small team...

Does anyone have the original roadmap pic saved?
We were gonna have so much that year apparently 😂

[fossil delta]

Not a huge team now. Still less than 15, aren't they?

Still only one or two coders.

[rotund dust]

I dont mind personally how long the updates take, cos eventually, its amazing

[fossil delta]

Same here. Keep up the quality, and I will wait however long it takes.

[rotund dust]

Everytime I come back to this game after a while, its like magical all over again, its one of the few games that can still inspire and captivate like that

[fossil delta]

I have never, ever played a game this much without modding it.

[rotund dust]

Still have mistlands and ashlands to do (all new content to me)
I also play Vanilla, I like it the way it is

[fossil delta]

So by that alone I have to consider this my favorite game of all time.

4300 hours without mods just blows my mind.

[sly oyster]

theres a few Qol Mods thatll change your life

[rotund dust]

Thats a few hours 😄

[fossil delta]

Best of all, over 2000 of those hours are playing Valheim with my wife. She has never gotten so into a game in over 33 years of marriage.

[sly oyster]

multicraft just just straight up be a thing in the game. and planteasily has really helped my wrist lol

[fossil delta]

I will eventually use mods, for sure. I just want to play the full game first.

[sly oyster]

you already have if you have 4300 hours 😛

[fossil delta]

Kind of. I did treat myself by turning off the portal limitation about 30 hours ago.

[rotund dust]

Portal Limitation?

[sly oyster]

most of the popular mods dont change much, just quality of life stuff mostly. ill have to try something with content eventually

[fossil delta]

Taking ore/metals/certain items through.

[rotund dust]

Ah.. See im the opposite, i find that part exciting, that I have to sail my metal back home

[sly oyster]

ive noticed people around here talk about modding like its putting a buncha cheats in lol

[rotund dust]

I wish Portals would only work if naked

[fossil delta]

How many hours do you have?

[rotund dust]

Only 1000

On this account, think other steam account had 700 before i gave it to my daughter

[sly oyster]

nothing wrong with changing portals, its just a pure time saver

[fossil delta]

I made it to over 4300 before I turned it off.

[sly oyster]

you can value your time

im sure ill eventually do it once i get sick of sailing half the world every time i want stone iron

[fossil delta]

Exactly. I decided I have put in my time, and now I can use a lot less of it sailing back to my bases. Been there, done it hundreds of times, and I am done doing it now that I have the option.

[rotund dust]

I took massive break tho, so this playthru is like playing all over again, Aboms/Frost Caves are new to me, and those tar pits i saw, they new... 2 new biomes to do, i got plenty hours left 😄

[sly oyster]

like right now im hauling the blackmetal i got while mining stone pillars in the plains. and the wind has been against me THE ENTIRE damned time

basically twiddling my thumbs while i spend 45 minutes getting home

[fossil delta]

Yeah, only thing that makes it really worth it to me is getting serpents.

[rotund dust]

In regards to serpents, those scales only for a shield?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, darn good shield too. Its resistance seems to stack with the root harness too. Wiki also says it does. I took maybe 1 point of damage from the squittos.

[sly oyster]

i live off serpent stew as early as i can cook it. bringing home like 18 a night

but i still dont have a trophy

[rotund dust]

Ive only killed 3 serpents, looted the scales/trophy first time, now i just jump in the water for the meat.. Ive spent many hours sailing ocean but they never spawn

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I don't have a trophy either, but that is mostly my fault. I only take them ashore while I need scales.

[sly oyster]

i guess theres a mod that lets you swim underwater, serpent recovery could be a thing lol

[rotund dust]

I find those chitin dudes everywhere tho.. Expected Serpent Scale Armor, and Chitin Armor 😦

[sly oyster]

ive never bothered with the shield either

[rotund dust]

Yah wasnt a buckler :p

[fossil delta]

That would be cool, but would be too powerful too early in the game. The Serpent Shield is bad enough.

[sly oyster]

and tbh finding levi on a raft is annoying as hell so i dont ever get to use the dagger before its no good

[fossil delta]

Its good until the plains. At least, last time I played around with daggers, it was.

Daggers are very appealing. Probably just as OP as bows with a high skill. It was getting pretty fast and low stamina burn with just a 50 skill.

[rotund dust]

Bow gets good? I find the stamina useage too much, and takes too long to draw

[fossil delta]

You get so much faster with a high skill.

[rotund dust]

Altho, my bow skill is only 36, and Sword is 63 (Swapped to it after killing Bonemass, still aint killed Moder 😂 )

[fossil delta]

Like with an 80, I am fast enough to kill Gjall before they even get close enough to attack me.

[rotund dust]

No clue what they are, but alright XD

[fossil delta]

A terror of the Mistlands.

They have a drop that makes a very helpful bomb. So I like it when I run into one every 5 minutes.

[sly oyster]

if lox ai wassnt so ADHD youd never be able to step into the plains

crazy fast, youd stam out, and they can climb steep ass terrain without losing any speed

[rotund dust]

Yeah, i shot one from AGES away, and managed to kill it before it even realised what was going on.. Took alot of arrows, but it didnt seem to respond from a VERY far distance

[fossil delta]

Lox are great for easily killing Growths. Assuming you have a good run and jump skill to pull off luring them to one another.

Its also fun when you can lure growths into fuling villages.

[sly oyster]

on hard fulings crap on them

[fossil delta]

I play standard. Hard enough not using parry and dodge roll.

[sly oyster]

growth respawn time is so long and they only drop 1 tar. im not happy about it lol

i want lots of tar

[rotund dust]

I drained a Tar Pit, was kind of cool, was trying to pickaxe the items, and it just happened haha

[fossil delta]

I do fine once I have about 10 stacks. I don't do much building anymore.

[sly oyster]

my boats got a full load, about 70 hp left, and it just started storming at night in the ocean 🙂

[fossil delta]

Sounds like your playing Valheim. 😄

[sly oyster]

i just killed one and jumped on it as it was dying and snagged a trophy lol

[fossil delta]

Nice. I rarely pull that off.

[sly oyster]

im trying to find a way to kill it with melee, i cant ever seem to get a swing off before the water puts my weapon away

or i land on its head and cant hit it

[rotund dust]

If landed on its head, couldnt you just bow it?

[fossil delta]

You might be able to pull ift off with the knife's special. Maybe. Hard to time with its animation.

[hot bolt]

Any way to get a star boar from another island to my home island?

[sly oyster]

its rare to land and staay on its head, you wouldnt be bow ready

[rotund dust]

Can throw an Ooze Bomb while jumped?

[fossil delta]

You CAN do it using one of the boats. The bigger the better.

[rotund dust]

get harpoon, build ramp onto boat, harpoon boar, drag boar onto boat, sail home?

[hot bolt]

and it will stay on the boat huh

[fossil delta]

Maybe.

[rotund dust]

No clue, im just thinking while typing 😛

[hot bolt]

ill try =]

[fossil delta]

Better if you keep it harpooned.

[fossil delta]

Prepare where your taking it before you take it. Once on land, it will try to run back home. Even swim there.

[hot bolt]

k

[fossil delta]

That or tame it before you try moving it.

Of course, then to harpoon it, you have to turn on friendly fire.

[rotund dust]

Honestly, sounds like too much trouble, just shoot it 🙂

[fossil delta]

Personally I build a farm for it there, and put a portal near by.

[rotund dust]

They dont grow up if youre not close do they?

Or is it only taming..'

[fossil delta]

They do not, which is why I said farm. I then do my planting there, so I spend enough time for them to breed.

IF its close enough, I make my new base there, so I spend even more time around them with everything else.

[rotund dust]

I dont get why people need a boar farm tho...

[fossil delta]

In solo you really don't . If its a server with more players, its much more worth while.

[sacred tinsel]

Sailing for 100 hours is tough dude

[rotund dust]

Ah true

[fossil delta]

Only reason I did a farm this time was I found a 2 star. Early.

[rotund dust]

Suppose not everyone explores their map to, so, they dont just randomly kill 100s of boars

[sacred tinsel]

boar farm is a waste of time unless you have a server of like 5+

[fossil delta]

My wife and I do a lot of exploring, so normally we do not bother. But it just fell into our laps this time.

[sacred tinsel]

yeah If I see a 1/2 star early on I'll snag em

[rotund dust]

Ah nice you play with your wife ❤️
I play with my 2 kids, but they do 0 farming of any kind, and just usewhatever i find...

[fossil delta]

Unfortunately our kids did not like Valheim that much. Not that they really gave it a try. Maybe played 30 hours or so.

[rotund dust]

Pretty sure my daughter only plays, cos its playign with Dad

[fossil delta]

But they are also all adults, have jobs, relationships, etc... So not much time for mom and dad anymore.

[rotund dust]

Once you get grandkids, and they level up, snag them to play with ya ❤️

[fossil delta]

Our first arrives in November.

[rotund dust]

Congrats! Then 6 levels, and they will understand the basics 😛

[ornate sigil]

I am a adult and my parents are still alive. I call them every couple months to check up on them since they are out of state.

[rotund dust]

I am an adult, I have 2 kids. I live in a small town of 2500 ish people, i see my parents every day 😂

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they don't live near us anymore. 1 is out in AZ, the others are all currently in Hawaii. We live in St Louis.

We all use a family Discord channel, so are regularly sharing pictures, funny memes, and short messages.

[ornate sigil]

similar. I'm in colorado and parents are in michigan.

[sly oyster]

i wonder if theres a way to pick and choose what gets increased resources, id like 1.5x on stone, but 1.5x on the world settings doubles all your crops

[rotund dust]

Just 2 hit an Abomination 😂

[rotund dust]

Probably with a mod?

[gray sand]

1.5x stone? Just go copper mining 😉

[uneven umbra]

can dragon eggs respawn in the nest?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[sly oyster]

build my base defenses and the game stops raiding me lol

[fossil delta]

Its random. I have gone loooong periods of time without a raid.

Plus you have to be at a qualified "base" when the check occurs.

[shy marlin]

If you learn anything from Valheim it's: The things you prep for will never happen, and the things you do not prep for WILL happen

[grave pawn]

exactly

[quaint oriole]

Someone dm me if you wanna start a world

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[quaint oriole]

doesnt work

[gray sand]

Doesn't mean bring it into the wrong channel.

[quaint oriole]

nah Im good

[gray sand]

If you continue, the mods will be involved, just saying.

[quaint oriole]

stfu

[hidden gorge]

maybe it's just your charming personality that "doesn't work"?

[frozen jewel]

good morning

[quaint oriole]

Someone dm me if you wanna start a world

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[frozen jewel]

did som one atempted a triall of tyr including Ashlands?

[low warren]

what's up with getting stuck in the falling animation in the ashlands metal nodes?

[ornate sigil]

not sure, but it's a known issue they are troubleshooting in PTB aparently.

[plush umbra]

im having extreme difficulties playing the game solo on normal difficulty. im in the swamps rn. is the game meant to be super challenging as a solo player?

[ornate sigil]

yep. hence the "this game is brutal" is in the games description. Though, they have added wolrd modifiers to make it easier or harder depending on your preference.

[low warren]

it can be but there's ways to deal with everything once you learn. Sort of like dark souls there are players who figured everything out and can beat the game naked (exaggeration)

[plush umbra]

I play on a dedicated server. alone. since my friends ditched me. LOL, so I wasnt able to modify the world

[ornate sigil]

ya, servers are a different beast.

[plush umbra]

and getting the map seed to give myself a small adventage turned out to be impossible.

[ornate sigil]

you could always hop into https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 and see if anything sounds interesting.

[low warren]

you could pack up all your important resources onto your body, quit, and start a new solo game offline on a new map (that you know the seed of) aind bring all your item progress in, with difficulty settings under your control as you please

[plush umbra]

I was, but Im not really the person to join a random server with random people-

[ornate sigil]

Vehementi has a point. If you were abandoned by your friends, you could start a solo world with the resources you gained.

[plush umbra]

makes sense, yeah!

[low warren]

also playing with others doesn't have to be "random people", you could try to chat and organize a group with people you might get along with and are of your same interest/activity/newness level etc.

[ornate sigil]

^ that's actually how someone ended up inviting me to their server. I was helping them try to troubleshoot a problem, then we started talking about game tips and they said their friends decided valheim wasn't there game (after beating the 3rd boss) and went back to COD, but he kept on playing on the server.

together, we built out his base and got up to (finding) the 6th boss before some IRL stuff put a halt to our steamrolling through the games content.

[gray sand]

What's your food?

[plush umbra]

beef jerky, queens jam, deer.

[gray sand]

That's the problem.

[low warren]

what is killing you a lot

[plush umbra]

its the best food I can make atm

[gray sand]

Deer Stew (not just meat), Minced Meat Sauce, Queen's Jam is all within the realm of what you can currently make.

And should be your combo going into the Swamp.

[plush umbra]

uhh, nope

I can make some meads but thats about it

[low warren]

we can give you varying degrees of exploration/strategy spoilers, what kind of info would you like to know haha

maybe turning down the difficulty a bit is best so you can figure things out on your own, depending on your prefrences tho

[gray sand]

Deer Stew

• Cooked Deer Meat (Meadows)
• Blueberries (Black Forest)
• Carrot (Black Forest)

Minced Meat Sauce

• Boat Meat (Meadows)
• Neck Tail (Meadows)
• Carrot (Black Forest)

Queen's Jam

• Raspberries (Meadows)
• Blueberries (Black Forest)

All of that is pre-Swamp.
Try again?

[plush umbra]

OHHHHHH I never bothered with growing seeds

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[plush umbra]

why the facepalm?

[low warren]

you don't have to and it can be tedious, but some of the best food at each level uses farmed stuff

[low warren]

because they think you should play like they do haha

[gray sand]

Let me give you one of the best tips you will get:

Food is your highest value priority.
Gear/Weapons are secondary to making sure you have your Food at the level it needs to be at.

999/1000 times people have come here with "I am having issues with X biome" it boils down (PUNS!) to "I am using subpar food, hence the game is more difficult than it should be at this stage."

Get your food on the level, and the Swamp will be a much different experience when you have more health/stamina to work with.

[plush umbra]

im sorry to be one of them, but thats exactly the reason I am here

i got overwhelmed with playing in the swamps alone so yeah ofc im asking here

[gray sand]

I know, and I am not holding it against you.
That's why it was my first question, so that I could explain it.

The "I got seeds and never planted them" = 🤦‍♂️ because... why would you not plant seeds in the first biome that actually gives you seeds AND gives you the tool to plant them?
Like... what did you think the seeds were for??

[low warren]

you didn't craft and use the mace? what did you think it was for????

it's reasonable to presume that aspects of the game are optional and tehre are multiple paths to victory

[plush umbra]

phew im not dumb okay? I just really didnt bother with it. I had a lot of other stuff to do. I just forgot about it

[gray sand]

May I ask "what other stuff" without you assuming hostility?

[plush umbra]

getting bronze, building my base, slaying the elder, getting resources, sailing with the boat.

[gray sand]

Fair all around, but this is also where you need to start thinking about "next biome prep."

So when you've finished the Swamp, make sure you have what you need ready before you even touch the Mountain. And so on.

Making sure you're ready for first contact with the successive biomes will make them a lot less painful to enter.

For example:
I always have double-Health and one Stamina food from the previous biome when first entering the current one.

And once I upgrade to current biome food-level, I switch from HHS to HSS because I prefer the larger stamina pool.

[sacred tinsel]

Hm opposite for me, I usually run HSS until like Mistlands, where the stamina pools get pretty huge with HHS, and the diminishing returns of stamina food becomes more obvious, given that it has no meaningful impact on stamina regen.

[gray sand]

Experienced Players vs. New 🤷‍♂️

[sacred tinsel]

at that point I always run HHS in order to parry everything

[gray sand]

Also what diminishing returns??

[sacred tinsel]

Figure of speech. More lack of returns: having higher stamina pools has no impact on stamina regen

[low warren]

long term ability usage is dependent on your stam usage rate, not your stam pool

[gray sand]

True, but it allows me to keep whacking for longer?

[sacred tinsel]

It front-loads your ability to do that, yes

[gray sand]

And given the best mead in the game has no cooldown and fully replenishes stamina... front-loading ability is more than fine.

[sacred tinsel]

I'm not saying there's no benefit to it, but there comes a point where 120 stam vs 200 stam starts to feel like a wash due to regen being the same, but having 250 health and a carapace buckler means you can parry just about everything

Yeah, I think that's a decent point to make like...in a BIG conflict that doesn't happen too often, having a huge stam pool lets you go really ham with a stam potion

[gray sand]

Even in a big conflict --> Bottom out stamina taking out as many up-front as possible --> Dodgeroll, walk for 5s while stamina fully replenishes --> Repeat.

[sacred tinsel]

Yeah I tend to prefer being able to parry 2 star warriors and 1star plus morgens, just so I can kill them faster

200 stam is enough for other situations for me

[gray sand]

Parrying a 2-star Seeker Soldier takes only 160 HP.

[sacred tinsel]

Yeah I'm thinking more ashlands

Mistlands I've done both ways, kinda doesn't matter. I find Mistalands trivially easy

[gray sand]

I haven't done the blocking chart for Ashlands yet 🤷‍♂️

But HSS in Mistlands is enough to parry everything in the Mistlands.

[sacred tinsel]

yeah I believe it. Bucklers be bucklering

[gray sand]

(At 100 skill this drops to 107 HP)

[sacred tinsel]

ashlands operates on a different scale cause no biome buckler

[gray sand]

Berserkir Axes all day for Ashlands 🙂

[sacred tinsel]

Eh, I use them a lot but. For example, tonight I had a valkyrie, like 7 or 8 random charred, a 2 star warrior, and three asksvin

[gray sand]

The 2 separate parts of the attack chain that have double-strikes means you are constantly proccing the Lightning chain.

[sacred tinsel]

no bonemass ready, had to use shield

I find in realllllly hairy fights with no bonemass, I can kill stuff faster with a buckler than axes, unless they're super clumped

[gray sand]

Personal strategy in said scenario:

Equip bow, target Valk.
While targeting Valk, keep Charred between self and Asksvin until Askers kill all Charred for me.

🤷‍♂️

[sacred tinsel]

yeah that def works. That strat with morgen works really well.

[gray sand]

Friendly Fire is our FRIEND in Ashlands.

[sacred tinsel]

yeah I've had a few reallly gnarly super-spawn fights where I had two morgen and like 15+ other enemies, and all I did was try to bait things in front of the morgens

[gray sand]

The sole thing I wish changed is that the Ooze Bomb didn't apply Poison and instead just Slowed enemies.

Having an AoE Slow would be far more useful than AoE Damage in a lot of cases tbh.

[ornate sigil]

since you now have bronze (if you haven't already), I would recommend making the cultivator so you can start your farm. be on the look out for white (meadows) and yellow (swamp) flowers as they will give you seeds to plant and make some of the best foods that biome has to offer. and with regards to carrots, they help carry you in the mistlands as well for food.

[grand ravine]

ehhh. i use ooze bombs a lot. but i would like/use tar bombs

[gray sand]

Tar Bombs could fit the bill quite nicely.

[sacred tinsel]

Yeah. IF Ashlands had an atgeir, the snaring atgeir would have been amazing. But unfortunately, cynical game design - they clearly explicitly chose not to put an atgeir or maul in ashlands for that reason

[gray sand]

And I wouldn't even care if Tar Bomb requires Growth Trophy to make tbh.

[grand ravine]

i realllllly like the slow effect from frost. i would use a lot of tar bombs for sure.

[gray sand]

I mean, Atgeirs suck in Ashlands anyway given everything has pierce resist 🤷‍♂️

[gray sand]

Frost Arrows need to be nerfed, lmao.

[sacred tinsel]

yeah, they'd just be good for the snare

[gray sand]

Still the best arrow in the entire game 4 biomes later... like what else has that kind of continued potency?

[sacred tinsel]

frostner heh

[gray sand]

Frostner sucks ever since they nerfed it.

[sacred tinsel]

how'd they nerf it?

[grand ravine]

idk, frost slow doesn't last long though, and not super great for large mobs

[gray sand]

They increased the knockback to the range of an NFL punter.

My weapon should not prevent me from killing things.

[sacred tinsel]

ah, yeah I dislike it for that reason, but it's still viable for like 4 biomes straight

[grand ravine]

frostner was decent for breaking down into ashlands. (shrug)

i never leveled sword skill so i used that instead

[sacred tinsel]

I really like daggers and spears. Kind irritates me that we had two biomes in a row where pierce was trash

[gray sand]

Arrow Damage-

• Frost: 78
• Needle: 62
• Carapace: 72
• Charred 82

So Frost does 4 less damage, but adds slow....
Why is a single arrow allowed to be that powerful?

[gray sand]

Mistwalker is just better 🤷‍♂️

[sacred tinsel]

shrug, no one checked

[gray sand]

Balance team not checking numbers is... questionable.

[sacred tinsel]

lol...balance team...

[gray sand]

Balance individual? 😛

[grand ravine]

yes. but at 0 sword skill, frostner seemed lioe the way to go. and, that slow effect.

[gray sand]

0? Did you not get introduced to our lord and saviour... Krom?

[sacred tinsel]

Yeah, it works. The more valheim I play though, the more I think swords are just the best

[gray sand]

😭

I am an Axe man, personally.
And Beserkir just seemed like a "We've kept you behind the curve long enough, here's your reward."

[grand ravine]

i lack the timing skill and low latency internet for 2h weapons lol

[gray sand]

Because Berserkir + Ask Armor + Ash Cape is just ===== GO NUTS.

HSS Stamina pool + 30% Attack Cost Reduction

[sacred tinsel]

yeah that's my favorite way to do fortresses

[grand ravine]

have yet to make axes. pribably tomorrow

[sacred tinsel]

I don't even mess around taking out ballista anymore, just pop bonemass, jump inside and axes go brrrr

[gray sand]

I carry 2 pairs.
Ling for groups, swap to Blood for stronger individual enemies.

[sacred tinsel]

I'm not convinced the blood one even does more damage in practical use

against a single target I mean

[gray sand]

There's a math threshold thing you can do to find where it is better than Ling.

It would honestly be better for you vs. single targets because you run HHS, so you'd have a higher bonus given more HP to sac.

Ling does just flat-out win when you're engaging 3+ people though, which is why I have both.

Bows should always be Root ofc.

[low warren]

the only mod i want is one that makes the greatsword stab do pierce damage 🥺

[sacred tinsel]

That might be true if you tried to play around it and maintain low health. In practice, I'd wager lightning does more damage on average, in a sampling of representative encounters

whew, boss dead in my solo world, all gear maxed, I can never set foot in ashlands again

[gray sand]

25% chance to cause 75 damage is an average of +18.75 per swing.

+0.2% damage per individual point of health and rank 2 slash value of 145 means +.29 damage per HP.

18.75 / 0.29 = 64.6bleh
So as soon as you are missing 65 HP, Blood does more individual damage.

@sacred tinsel ☝️

[lost sentinel]

i have finally beaten the game

[sacred tinsel]

Yeah and I spend the majority of my time not missing 65 HP

[low warren]

simply get bubbled and go in with no food and eat 3 hp foods!!!

[gray sand]

Ashlands HHS is 264 max HP.
So you'd still be hovering at 200, which I'd say is fine 🤷‍♂️
You'd be missing 25% of your HP on purpose, which isn't really that much of a risk imo.

[low warren]

oops i regenned

[sacred tinsel]

not a risk, but trying to force it to happen would just annoy me, and I almostn ever lose that much health in a 1v1 where lightning wouldn't be the clear winner

[gray sand]

Oh come on. Just "forget" to block 1 time 😛

[sacred tinsel]

I mean, with how choppy and laggy Ashlands is....

[gray sand]

Or just... touch the lava. 😉

[rotund dust]

Do Leviathan spawns affect serpwent spawns?

[gray sand]

Spawning a serpent on top of a leviathan is funny though.

That being said, true fun is spawning a bunch of serpents and a few bonemaws then watching the ocean war take place 😄

[rotund dust]

How do you spawn serpents?

[gray sand]

devcommands

[rotund dust]

Oh haha, here i was thinking you go to the ocean and throw the fish in the sea that wash up on shore or something 😂

[junior forge]

They do spawn naturally though during storms

[rotund dust]

Yeah, but thought there was some other way 😛

[merry pebble]

they spawn during night and during thunderstorms, thats it tho 🙂

[rain flare]

Night snek and storm snek

[rotund dust]

You all missing the point, this is the comment that got me wondering 😂 I know when they spawn

[rain flare]

Aaaah - a fellow enjoyer of snek soup 😂

[rain flare]

LoL 🤣

[honest verge]

@safe pilot dms

[tacit crown]

@safe pilot dms

[uneven umbra]

if i go in a sealled tower how many chicken eggs should i get?

[merry pebble]

2

[buoyant ether]

i havent ran to the a tower yet ever

[distant field]

I think we got 1

[buoyant ether]

starting a no map run today

idk why but im literally fiending for more runs atm

feelin like i could have 3 atm going

[merry pebble]

in each tower should be 2 eggs 🙂

[distant field]

All I know is that we had to buy one.

[keen cloud]

the moder boss when he launch that fire attack ,that s actualy some frost fire or is frost magic?

[fair cairn]

moder is a She, just a quick Fyi

[gray sand]

It deals ice damage because they are giant shards of ice.
Not sure where you're seeing fire?

[keen cloud]

to much movies

[distant field]

It’s like an upgrading version of the drakes’ frost attack.

[merry pebble]

she does frost, pierce and slash dmg, no fire 🙂

[gray sand]

Grounded breath attack is purely Frost.
Flying breath is mostly Frost with a tiny amount of Pierce.

[merry pebble]

yep, the flying barrage is 30 pierce, 200 frost, her claw attack is 110 slash and the grounded frost breath is 200 frost https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Moder

[gray sand]

?

[keen cloud]

so wearing the root harnesack might be a good ideea

[merry pebble]

not really,

[gray sand]

Not at all.

[merry pebble]

she does only 30 pierce and thats only on one attack

[gray sand]

If you're getting hit by the giant icicles, that's the issue.
Small amount of armor or resist isn't going to save you.

[buoyant ether]

didnt we need thunderstones and ymir flesh for frostner ?

[mighty gate]

Why don't lox like making kids I have to push them just for one

[buoyant ether]

dodging might be the best idea 😎

[fair cairn]

thunderstones no

[gray sand]

Thunderstone is for Trash Can.
Flesh is for Iron Sledge.
Flesh is also for Frostner.

[buoyant ether]

should i get the fishing rod too ?

ive never fished 👀

[mighty gate]

::<

[fair cairn]

you can if you want, but you wont generally find one in the wild unless your lucky

[buoyant ether]

they dont want anyone watching

[mighty gate]

Its been 200 days not one

[distant field]

Are you spending time near them?

Are they getting spooked by wandering mobs?

[mighty gate]

Yes and nothing they just sit still fir days won't even eat somtimes

[distant field]

How many in how large an area?

[mighty gate]

I have a really big area no emamys but they really love putting there heads in the wall even tho nothings there

[buoyant ether]

made pretty much the perfect hole to a side of a mountain

[wary dust]

is the flametal no longer sinking update live now ?

[buoyant ether]

cant repair my huntsman bow 🤔

[unique onyx]

you'll need to repair it at a station that is the right level

[burnt harbor]

I was thinking... shouldn't at least the longship be made of corewood instead or in addition?

Cause longships were usually made with pine, correct?

[silent nimbus]

Why does my game crash when playing with friends but not in singleplayer?

[ornate sigil]

I believe that is still in PTB (not live as of yet or it would have made it in a patch note).

[ornate sigil]

huntsmen is more metal than wood, so check with the forge instead of the workbench.

[frozen fable]

anyone experiencing drops in frame rates in starting areas of the game?

[ornate sigil]

I have not as far as the latest patch(0.218.19) had any major uptick in lag near the starting area. are you playing a solo world or on a server? also, are you using mods? both of those things can create issues and lag sometimes.

[ornate sigil]

there could be a ton of reasons, but that sounds like it is server related, so ask around here for better troubleshooting:https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[shy marlin]

Is it possible to remove runestones? (with dev commands)

[ornate sigil]

you might be able to if you can find the ID of your target and use the forcedelete command.

[plush umbra]

(it's a POI object so forcedelete doesn't work on it)

[ornate sigil]

darn

[shy marlin]

Unlucky, so no way to remove it then?

[plush umbra]

not without mods, no ^^"

[shy marlin]

mods it is then

I know that if you dig a hole and then fill it up where the runestone is, it'll eventually pop up, but i'm curious what happens if you build something over it

[plush umbra]

it should only react to the terrain heightmap, so building over it should be safe

[frozen fable]

i'm not on a server, i'm on a solo map, no mods

[ornate sigil]

if it is a instance issue, you should be able to see the increase using f2 and devcommands, otherwise I'm not sure what else would cause lag in the starter area.

[left hull]

Any idea what the wisp torch radius is? If you wanna plan out a mist free area

I'm a sucker for symmetry

[ornate sigil]

I don't believer it is listed in the wiki but I would guess about 20m(?) per torch(same as a unupgraded work bench).

[fallen zephyr]

From experience, I would say say about 15m (radius, not diameter; I know you said radius, but just for clarity).

[fallen zephyr]

Having said that I recommend doing your own testing. Place a torch, place 2x2 floors to the edge of the light, do simple arithmetic.

[strong spindle]

Genuine question, are there any plans on making the game eat up less frames. I am well aware that the game is still in early access and that the building pieces take up alot. I just wonder cuz i still want to enjoy beatiful scenery with my friends at full release with atleast a stable 50-whatever fps

ping me if you answer :3

[azure yacht]

Nope, it's been explicitly stated that they love lag and NOT working on the game so it will remain laggy forever.

You imagine a game developer developing a game so it's more developed and have better performance (due to all development)?

Ridiculous

[sly oyster]

my onion addiction has turned into a bread addiction. i need to expand the barley farm

[left hull]

Looks to be 9-10m

[fallen zephyr]

I love lag too. If I can't see an enemy starting to swing at me and then have time to go and refresh my drink or visit the bathroom, what am I even playing for?!

[fallen zephyr]

Good to know. Nice work.

[fallen zephyr]

Maybe the 15m I had in mind was the distance between torches. I look forward to reading your paper.

[grand ravine]

i havent done science at it, but 10m radius sounds about right to me

[strong spindle]

Damn sorry for existing, most game devs dont care at all and ik irongate are goats but i still wanted to ask. But my fault for existing ig

[grand ravine]

wanna say to get decent coverage up to 4+m high pretty sure i end up with a torch every ~12m

[fallen zephyr]

You either need to make your sarcasm clearer, or seek professional help.

[strong spindle]

Tf have i done? Why are yall so passive aggressive for genuinly asking a question

I even stated that ik the game is in early access and its prob gonna get fixed but who knows

[fallen zephyr]

There's a linguistic/humour barrier here. You're good, my dude. The people responding were (subjectively, and somewhat successfully) attempting to be funny.
Though, "eating up less frames" is a really broad request. Specificity will get you more productive responses.

[merry pebble]

That Is pretty clearly a joke 😉

[strong spindle]

Yeh sorry english aint my first language, and i meant that the frames are pretty low when u got many structures (ofc no wonder) thats all

[unique onyx]

if it's building causing lag, try not manipulating the ground or doing it very little, seems to help a lot vs flattening a huge area before building

[fallen zephyr]

Only if you're a native English speaker.

[strong spindle]

no but ik that the more structures u got the more it affects fps, but i just wondered if it will be better in the future which it most likely will

[merry pebble]

I am not native speaker and still think Its pretty clear 🤔

[strong spindle]

Well thats you then, i mean we are all different

[fallen zephyr]

Do you think that one non-native English speaker is universally equivalent to every other non-native English speaker?

[merry pebble]

Oh yeah, i also don't get jokes at times (quite often i don't get ones Moose here makes xD)

[strong spindle]

Well thanks nonthenless for the answer, cyas later

[merry pebble]

No? And i didn't say they were, you are the one who said you HAVE to be a native speaker 🤷‍♂️

[fallen zephyr]

Show me where I said "have".

[merry pebble]

I am sorry, that ONLY native speakers will get it 😊

[fallen zephyr]

Hey look, there's the point! No damn, sorry. You missed it.

[summer oracle]

Ive just bought this game

Ive heard its great

[fallen zephyr]

I envy you. Discovering everything as you go is the best part of the game.

[summer oracle]

sounds like you really like valheim

[merry pebble]

I believe that most people here will agree with this 😄

[fallen zephyr]

It does a great job of providing new and unexpected experiences to new players. I don't want to talk about Mistlands or Ashlands.

[summer oracle]

I have joined this server to look for other new players to share the valheim experience with

[fallen zephyr]

There's a channel for that. #1024264966712340510

[summer oracle]

yeah i guessed there would be one

[fallen zephyr]

Reading works too

[summer oracle]

i wonder, is there pvp here?

[merry pebble]

Just quick FYI, the game Is also great on singleplayer 😉

[summer oracle]

in the game i mean

[fallen zephyr]

There can be. It's in the game options.

[summer oracle]

Thats nice, i like that

[merry pebble]

You can enable it in game yes, tho game Is really not focused on it

[summer oracle]

is the pvp any good?

[wet lodge]

can a lvl1 iron atgeir farm barley?

or do I have to upgrade it

[molten axle]

Yep any Atgeir can

[wet lodge]

no need to waste extra iron then, even though we have a reinforced chest full of :P

[merry pebble]

Didn't tried much of it myself (just one or two times maybe) and it really depends on your conection and even then its not really great, as i said Its not PVP oriented game

[wet lodge]

the person who enters a chunk first has a huge advantage

because chunks are computed on the "host" pc, which is usually the first person to enter a area. that means you'll have more of a delay than them

[sly oyster]

this is why i cant play hardcore, every time i come back from being afk i jump over my wall into a plains battlefield with 25 health

anyone know how long spawner farm items will stay on the ground?

[wet lodge]

with a workbench? forever ofc

[sly oyster]

well i mean the spawner wont spawn if theres a workbench

[wet lodge]

do you not have the kill chamber in range and the spawner outside?

[sly oyster]

these are surtlings

[ornate sigil]

if you mean the drops, i think default is like 5 minutes irl time(?)...would need to do some digging to be sure.

[wet lodge]

huh idk, never farmed surtlings

[sly oyster]

they are just dying in water while i sit between 3 spawners

im curious how long i can afk before stuff disappears

[wet lodge]

do the cores get more uses in ashlands?

[ornate sigil]

kinda, there is a weapon that requires them.

not sure on base building items (like furnace and kiln) for ashlands though.

[sly oyster]

guess ill be looking for a yag stone today...

[ornate sigil]

according to steam, it take 2 full game days (1h irl time) for the game to remove drops by default.

[amber fern]

Best way pre plains to farm a shitton of stone? I can't do the plains pillars as I am just breaking into swamps 😛

[gray sand]

@odd helm got bored, updated. I took it offline while updating so the link may have changed to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zuJ2BACwMq-cZXrc7fJOw8hDGp5ROKeBVcf73IzRrlw/edit?usp=sharing

Added: Everything from Ashlands other than Fader (he isn't up on the wiki yet) and also all MiniBosses are now present.

[sly oyster]

mountain rocks, ones that look kinda higher off the ground, and mining silver

[gray sand]

Copper.

[amber fern]

Ok interesting, thanks lads

[sly oyster]

berfore mountains stone is just letting trolls do their thing yeah

but dont plan on making a big structure

[gray sand]

Also cleaned up a lot of the backend math that made it work, so future updates will not be a chore.

[sly oyster]

swamp feels extended because of all the iron you need but really you just get a root helm and an iron mace and you can get the wishbone, bonemass is prolly the easiest boss other than eik

actually wait no, you dont even need root helm, just poison mead

[odd helm]

Readded to the resources pin, thank you~

[wet lodge]

you are in the right state of mind when you see half a reinforced chest full of wood and think "oh man, almost out of wood. better farm 2 carts full"

[gray sand]

Finishing up the Serpent Scale tab because he's a special boy. Will be done in like 10 minutes, thank you for adding back ❤️

[grand ravine]

mountain is good for stone but do be aware of wolves if you're still in forest gear, and avoid farming there at night. they can hear you chopping a fair bit off and will come looking. next best thing at this stage is just the big rocks around forest.

[gray sand]

Copper is the best method, because you get assloads of stone, and you also get a small amount of copper 🙂

[grand ravine]

yeah and you will never stop needing copper

trollstav damages charred fort walls but not metal nodes. i feel gypped.

[sly oyster]

aw, barley doest roll down roof tiles

[gray sand]

Krom being made out of THAT MUCH bronze is criminal tbh.

[sly oyster]

holy crap i just realized 2 bread is 10 flour

timeto make a third barley field

[grand ravine]

time to eat a different stam food.

[gray sand]

Bread is overrated tbh.

[plush umbra]

i support choosing food based on how much effort it takes to maintain

[grand ravine]

i never used swords with this character (iknowiknow), so...i haven't even actually looked at krom mats. my friend made one but i wasn't paying attention to what he used for it

[keen cloud]

what do chickens eat?

[sly oyster]

onion soup is 10 less stam and infinitely easier to make, but i kinda like the thought of having a massive farm that actually gets used

[gray sand]

I support foods that have the same timer.

[gray sand]

I am an axe man 🤷‍♂️

[sly oyster]

two harvests and i dont have to plant onions for like 5 days

[keen cloud]

chickens just grow near fire or u have to throw em food?

[plush umbra]

fair. personally i kinda like them getting all mixed up so they cover each others' weak last few minutes

[gray sand]

They hatch without food.
They only make other chickens if you give them food though.

[grand ravine]

ive used mostly clubs and polearms. but with how much my skills have dropped since ashlands, im considering getting a sword and using axes more

[keen cloud]

what food?

[gray sand]

Synced timers is de wae.

[gray sand]

Seeds.

[keen cloud]

birch seeds work ?:D

[plush umbra]

they also eat dandelions iirc, much cheaper than birch seeds 😅

[sly oyster]

i have like 80 serpent stew and another stack of meat, sausages are still stupid easy to make to so im on those too, just need a stam food

[keen cloud]

🤣

[plush umbra]

(beech seeds work too, those are also cheap)

fir and pine cones don't

[gray sand]

Use farm able seeds like Carrot/Turnip/Onion.

[sly oyster]

i find getting blood annoying

[grand ravine]

i used onion soup until i got eggs

[gray sand]

Turnip Stew > Onion Soup

[sly oyster]

oh i can drop sausages and do lox pie now i guess, atgeir does make those easy

[keen cloud]

cloudberries are good too

[keen cloud]

u use the iron atgeir?

[grand ravine]

wait, whyfor?

[gray sand]

You should not be eating raw berries after you leave the Meadows...

[sly oyster]

blackmetal atgeir

[plush umbra]

can't tell me what to eat i'll keep my berries!

[sly oyster]

only gets used to hunt lox

[gray sand]

+5 min duration +healing per tick in trade for -5 Stamina.

[gray sand]

Valheim CAKE when? I am tired of all this pie...

[grand ravine]

i put a pair of lox at the top of a plains rock. now the plains are desolate cratered wastelands with black metal littering the ground, and i eat a lot of lix pies.

[sly oyster]

any meads good to have on tap? im just using med health because legit everything takes me down to sub 10 health if i get hit, except for deathsquitos lol

[gray sand]

Tasty Mead is uncontested the best mead in the game 🤷‍♂️

[grand ravine]

🤔 that's reasonable. hmm, what do suggest at mistlands/ashlands tier..?

[sly oyster]

doesnt tasty mead only last like 10 seconds

[gray sand]

If only my food sheet was pinned in this channel and had a "Configurations" tab... 😉😉

[grand ravine]

tasty mead, and fire resist is about to be your best friend

[gray sand]

So? You regain your entire stamina bar in about 6 of those.

[grand ravine]

ooh neat, tyty

[sly oyster]

OH yeah fire res mead, those shaman dudes crap on my root body

[grand ravine]

you're in plains right?

[sly oyster]

yeah

tbh ive only seen like 2 shamans, and i have like 400 bm ...still dont know where yag is

[grand ravine]

yeah make a stock of fire mead. don't leave home without it when you go into ml

also when you fight yag

[gray sand]

Silver Sword for Yag too.

Even if you aren't a sword person.
Make the exception.

[sly oyster]

im maining silver sword so we good

frostnir is for chumps that support bad progression

[gray sand]

Uh.. silver should never be a main weapon given most everything is immune to Spirit damage.

[plush umbra]

(if you happen to have frostner on hand and your clubs level is considerably higher than swords, feel free to go for frostner)

[sly oyster]

well lets see, do i two shot fulings with a bm sword, or a silver sword

one i already have maxed

seems like a no brainer to me, i guess bm sword is pretty?

[gray sand]

BM will do more damage as they are immune to half of what the Silver Sword does.

[plush umbra]

but costs a tiny bit more stamina and lacks style points

[gray sand]

But Yag isn't, which is why it is BiS vs. him.

[gray sand]

Don't EVEN get me started on "same weapon, higher tier" costing more stamina bullshit....

[plush umbra]

yeaaaa i'm not a big fan of it either

at least it seems to have stopped going up in ashlands last i checked

[gray sand]

Don't EEEEEEEEEVEN.

Goes to find cake and calm down.

[grand ravine]

lol

[gray sand]

If Deep North doesn't have cake I will riot.

[low warren]

man i bet they regret not code reviewing the intern's addition of the flametal node structrues

[gray sand]

☝️here's a man who thinks small teams can afford interns.

😁

[low warren]

is this the highest value game as measured by revenue per employee in history?

[sly oyster]

10 million copies sold

[gray sand]

Nah. Just 8 copies.
In total.

Dead game no one wants. Devs gave up.

discord messages too!

[surreal falcon]

been in EA for 4 years. Will never be released.

[gray sand]

Redcord merger when?

[plush umbra]

yea we've reached the point where time will loop forever

just the same 21 minutes everytime

[sly oyster]

4 bat raids in a row...

[distant field]

Bat raids are the worst.

[sly oyster]

i go hide in my wall, im tired of being showered with leather scraps lol

i need a mod that has kitchen timer

i always get side tracked when pies are baking, or lox/serpent is taking forever. i need a loud ass alarm

[plush umbra]

got the same problem, i'd eat so much cooked lox meat if i didn't struggle with that 😅

[low warren]

i make enough ovens or cooking racks that it doesn't feel like a waste of time to just sit there looking

if ive got 24 pies coming it's nbd

[sly oyster]

i sh ould prolly make a bigger kitchen yeah

[distant field]

If it wasn't for the fact that bats kill tamed animals, I would completely ignore them too.

[glass tree]

man The water glitch in my world fixed itself somehow, and then slowly but surely it's creeping up to start glitching again, weird.

[distant field]

@gray sand : In your foods Google Sheet, what does "balanced" (for example "Balanced Health) on the Configurations page mean?

[gray sand]

I got 99 problems but a glitch ain't one.

[distant field]

water glitch?

[gray sand]

HHS

Balanced Stamina being HSS.

[glass tree]

uhh i can't explain it but i have a photo if you'd like to see it, just dm me.

[distant field]

https://tenor.com/view/spock-eyebrows-gif-24940925

[distant field]

I see... So what is "Balanced EITR"? And like Max Stamina is SSS?

[gray sand]

Balanced EITR is HSE. One of each.
Max of anything is all 3 being that type.

[distant field]

Thanks. 🙂

[granite anchor]

Has anyone ever made a iceburg for this game????

[sly oyster]

go to plains at night, get hunted, walk by pack of lox...

wolves are gone

[summer oracle]

how many people should i play with for my first time in this game?

what are the team limits?

[sly oyster]

you should solo your first time playing

lets you set your own pace

[inner copper]

I solo'd the first time. Definitely worth it for the vibes and to learn without people rushing you.

It always blows me away how many people ask in /r/valheim if they CAN play solo haha. That's my favourite playstyle 😂

[plush umbra]

it's rare to see these answers to such a question so i'm happy to see em

[sly oyster]

yeah anytime i play with someone they wanna go rush bosses

meanwhile i just spent 3 days getting enough stone to make a dock and some farms

[inner copper]

Yeah I can't keep up with my friends, they're much more intense gamers in general. Survival crafters to me are about slow enjoyment, building, and chilling out

When I played Raft, I just wanted to float and collect stuff. Didn't even care about the islands haha. I just did them as I hit the need for progression.

I play Valheim the same way. I advance when my base demands it 😛

[rotund dust]

Amen, its so good to see you enjoying it this way 😄

[sly oyster]

i went all out for me on my current base, but at the back of my mind is always "yo you could have just slapped that crap in the front yard and itd be more efficient"

stone costs are kinda testing my patience atm

[inner copper]

Haha my goal today was to build a wood and stone farm (AFK spawner in dark forest) but alas, I'm here asking questions about dedicated server backups because the update killed my seed 😂

[wet lodge]

after iron stage I also tend to get super stumped on progression

though I do want those new ashland buildblocks... they look great

[wet lodge]

are you equipped for plains yet

[sly oyster]

yeah im basically just waiting to find yag...

[wet lodge]

find a plains with lots of those monoliths

and just dig through them at the bottom

[sly oyster]

yeah ill farm the big stone things

[wet lodge]

oh and fuling towers have solid amounts of stone too, worth to just lower the floor a little with a hoe so they collapse

lowkey need to make a good tree farm xD

[sly oyster]

i cleared like 4 plains biomes of them yesterday, built a small sectionof my base, and now need more stone

[wet lodge]

I wouldnt go too overboard in normal play, imo

[sly oyster]

and somehow still h avent found a yag stone

[wet lodge]

4 biomes worth of monoliths must be several carts of stone...

[sly oyster]

its like 300 a piece

gotta think you can only make 8 floor tiles per stack

[wet lodge]

I once built a thick wall around the entire base in a previous run, double layered with crenelations and towers. still took only ~4 carts for that

[sly oyster]

stone is crazy expensive

i have a two thick wall that is like 45 long i think and 6 high, that took over 2reinforced chests

[inner copper]

I get to plains no problem, but I stalled out last year when Mistlands dropped. I saw the new content, thought it was pretty neat, but my friends are power gamers and kind of dusted me.

Haven't even read the Ashlands updates yet, trying to avoid spoilers 🙂

[sly oyster]

you know finding an elder, bonemass, and moder runestone is super easy. why cant yag be half as easy lol

[wet lodge]

we found 2 yag spawners without rune stone

[inner copper]

I've accidentally found Yag by accident every time I ran a new seed. Drove my friends CRAZY

[sly oyster]

its a big hand right

[inner copper]

I've been super lucky haha. Never had the problem of searching for it. First time, I didn't even know what it was, just marked it and build a base nearby. 🤷‍♂️

[wet lodge]

we also were super lucky with both traders

[inner copper]

Oooh yeah, this seed I'm trying to restore, I created to introduce a friend to Valheim (at his pace) and he has NO IDEA. We just found the vendor close to the starting point

[wet lodge]

the male trader (forgot name) was on our start island, hildir was on the very first adventure out and is super close to our base location

[plush umbra]

(haldor)

[wet lodge]

we just call him the trader

[inner copper]

I haven't met the second one yet, that's Ashlands content, right?

[wet lodge]

nah

separate and from what I can tell just cosmetic

bunch of harder invasions ig

[wraith sun]

Sealed towers are nice for metals though

[wet lodge]

havent found one yet, and we went through half a dozen plains

like, we have a reinforced chest full of tar and half one full of black metal

[wraith sun]

They will be marked on your map if you activate the map on Hildirs table

[wet lodge]

what map lol

we found the first two special dungeons by pure chance

[wraith sun]

She is litterly standing in front of 1 table with a map on it

[sly oyster]

yeah its not telegraphed very well, but hildirs map will put every hildir poi on the map

[wet lodge]

I mean I didnt even know she did anything besides selling stuff until we accidentally found a howling cave

[robust delta]

same

[robust delta]

how can a cave howl it doesn't even have vocal cords silly

[sly oyster]

my house is in the plains next to the mists and every time the mist doesnt load im like yo that looks so cool

and then its gone...

[sharp raptor]

Once you get to ashlands, collecting any kind of stone becomes so much easier with the battering ram

[feral venture]

whats the best way to get feathers?

[hidden gorge]

chickens, or harpoon

[sly oyster]

carry a bow with wood arrows, shoot every bird you see land

it adds up quick

[sharp raptor]

Early game, birds on the ground or chopping trees. Mid game, chickens, late game the huge amount of voltures you're always killing 🤣

[feral venture]

ok ill do that then

[hidden gorge]

harpoon is basically bow + wood arrows, except free ammo and one less inventory slot used

[robust delta]

daddy odin why must the winds always be against me

[plush umbra]

can i destroy dvergr outposts with a stone cutter or do they get mad

[wet lodge]

they have wards

[plush umbra]

oh

[wet lodge]

if you attack the ward they get mad

[plush umbra]

gotta figure out how to get black marble then

[plush umbra]

yeah thought so

[wet lodge]

hm, I believe black marble is collected from giant skulls

I quit shortly after mistlands came out and didnt do much there tho

and with my current mate we are taking things slow, only on plains rn

[plush umbra]

we are still in the swamp

[indigo ledge]

I’m in the early stages of the game and I’m finding getting deer hide incredibly annoying is there any way that there’s a more effective way then well… hunting deer

[plush umbra]

nope, hunt deer with a bow!

[indigo ledge]

So annoying with how the bows work in this game

[hidden gorge]

crude bow you can skip -- flint spear is better

[indigo ledge]

Even with the finewood bow

[hidden gorge]

they respawn in the same areas generally, so if you've found one -- they'll show up there again and again

[wet lodge]

I would say use crude bow anyways if you plan on using bows a lot, though
