You can't just tell me?

[plush umbra]

np

[merry pebble]

if by showing you mean sending picture here then i have to dissapoint you, you cant in this channel

[plush umbra]

royal jam and meat

[vocal rivet]

And?

You need to eat three different foods to maximise your health / stamina.

[plush umbra]

ik

[jagged wind]

Just shoot him with fire arrows from a far and use pillars to hide from his projectiles and move from pillar to pillar depending where he spawns his roots

And build tons of campfires around where he spawns

[plush umbra]

ok will try

[jagged wind]

Elder was much easier for me than Eikthyr tbh 😅

[plush umbra]

☠️

[vocal rivet]

The best HHS food choice is, Deer Stew, Mincemeat Sauce and Carrot Soup. If you're going SSH, then you'll want Queen's Jam, Deer Stew and Carrot Soup.

[gray sand]

🥱

[vocal rivet]

It might be boring, but it'll get the job done, which is all they want at this point.

[jagged wind]

Easiest way to kill him.. sadly too slow

[gray sand]

I find whacking in melee far easier and also faster. Faster being part of what makes it easier 🤷‍♂️

Beat him to death with a Torch 😉 @jagged wind 😛

[jagged wind]

Gotta have full inv of torches then 😅

[opal prairie]

If he goes wa zoo, I go RUN and dodge!

[jagged wind]

They break very fast

[warm sandal]

I usually put fire at his feet when he spawns in and then go shoot him dead from behind the pillars...takes about 10 min or so ... 😄 and pretty save too

[gray sand]

Which would mean you don't care if you lose it 😉

[opal prairie]

Sneak to corpse if you can, else draw him away from your corpse and run away.

[gray sand]

Just 6 torches should be enough though.
Given the Club doesn't break and that's what I usually kill him with.

On my final playthrough I may just punch him to death.

[jagged wind]

10 mins is quite long.. but yea... considering that it took me over 20 mins to kill bonemass

[gray sand]

You used a Bow for that too, didn't you?

[jagged wind]

No xD

[gray sand]

[jagged wind]

Iron mace.. but i was too scared

[gray sand]

I must not fear
Fear is the mind-killer
Fear is the little death that brings obliteration

[vocal rivet]

I wonder how Sigma's getting on.

[gray sand]

Phrasing

[merry pebble]

that is also quite long, in current playthrough i timed Yag and it was less than 10 minutes 🤔 (well "timed" i used bonemass like 2 minutes into the fight, just in case, and i killed him before it ran out) also i am not that great player by any means, i die quite often XD

[gray sand]

Yag takes longer only because of the whole "run around to avoid meteors" parts of the fight.

[terse flare]

where is a good base location in your opinion?

[merry pebble]

meadows

[ornate sigil]

Plains if you want an efficient farm. Meadows for esthetics and low(er) threat level.

[rain coral]

those ruined structures in the meadows prove to be super efficient starter bases. saves you a lot of wood and time.

[cunning monolith]

Meadows near the ocean with a teeny tiny bit of Plains adjacent and Black Forest, Swamp and Mountain in running distance.

[merry pebble]

i always have my base in meadows, everywhere else i go and set up portals to

[opal prairie]

When meteors fall get smack dab in his face, his head blocks them.

[gray sand]

Meh, I use that time for stamina regen.

[gray sand]

Plains.

[opal prairie]

Me and my budy make a base in the meadows to start with and that will be converted into either the fancy base to show of stuff and have the best comfort we can or be storage space and auto breeders, depending on how much work has gone into the base already.
We then look for a plains island or a patch of plains that is either close or next to the sea and has a border with the mistlands, to set up a more permanent base with all the upgrades for everything and a decent sized farm to grow all the crops.

[empty dagger]

||Can askvins be bred?||

[gray sand]

Yes.

[empty dagger]

Ok then mine are taking a while

I have a 2 star one

That was a difficult to do btw lol

[plush umbra]

yepp exactly that

not sure if it's better for blocking since it's a buckler, but it should be considerably better at parrying.

[nocturne wolf]

The carapace buckler has the same block armor as the black metal shield, but 66% more armor when parrying

They also have the same block force so the buckler does everything better than the shield

[gray sand]

Yes.

But you're comparing Biome 6 Buckler vs. Biome 5 Shield.
So of course it is better.

What's weird is that it is better than the following Biome shield as well.

Like Bronze Buckler doesn't beat Banded (Iron) Shield.

But Carapace Buckler beats Flametal Shield.
(In terms of parry for both)

Not sure why that is a thing 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

It’s only better for parrying so if you have a health diet you may want the flametal shield so you can block to use less stamina when you need to

[gray sand]

Yes but why is it?

Shields scale by +18 per biome
Bucklers don't follow anything.
Bronze -> Iron is +12
But if you continue the +12, then Carapace should be 64 at rank 1, but it is instead 78.

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe because starred enemies are much stronger in later biomes, so the shields need to be better to block them?

[gray sand]

Shields have a static scaler though.

Which actually makes them the anomaly, as neither Bucklers nor Tower Shields follow a pattern.

Brain hurt. make it make sense 😭

[opal prairie]

Look at it sideways,maybe it makes sense then.

[plush umbra]

there's quite a lot of inconsistent stat balancing
comparing silver weapons to their previous and subsequent biomes' equivalents gives me a headache and makes me wonder if they forgot how they decided the silver sword's stats when the time came to make a knife and battleaxe

[gray sand]

there's quite a lot of inconsistent stat balancing

Pain 😭

As a designer who really gets into the weeds on making sure stats are what they should be, and just creates systems that handle that for me...

Pain 😦

[plush umbra]

yea the crystal battleaxe is only the best because there's literally no battleaxe after it, and the silver knife is just sad.

[gray sand]

I wonder if either with Deep North or post-North there will be a balance pass?
Because that could be a perfectly reasonable thing. Many devs do the "we are planning to do that, just isn't priority atm." and they sweep the game later.

[gray sand]

If Crystal didn't have such a long windup for the first attack, it would be one of the best weapons for landfall in the Ashlands tbh.

[nocturne wolf]

If you jump attack the long windup usually isn’t too bad

[plush umbra]

wild to me that the weapon type with higher base damage than the sword gets less spirit damage

[nocturne wolf]

It’s probably because the blade is mostly crystal, not silver

[plush umbra]

then i'd make up for that by giving it more slash damage than it should for its tier, but that's not the case

the silver sword and crystal battleaxe have the same stat total, even though the last is slower.

[gray sand]

Oh if I could play with the stat pages you'd see some interesting, balanced results 🙂

[vocal rivet]

All minor tweaks they can do in a final polish update.

[plush umbra]

in the case of the silver sword, that's a +89% damage upgrade over the iron sword vs undead, for the BA it's only +56.8% (and for the knife it's a pathetic +26.1%)

[gray sand]

Very true. That's my suspicion overall tbh.
Everything as it stands is "good enough" and a single balance sweep across the numbers is better than multiple tiny ones.

[keen cloud]

So carapace buckler is better then bm shield

[gray sand]

Yes.

Next-biome gear is almost always better than current-biome gear.

[narrow pulsar]

next to ashland?

[gray sand]

Please add more words to that question.

[narrow pulsar]

lol, like next update to ashland? been curious

[gray sand]

Do you mean what is the next update after Ashlands, now that we have Ashlands?

Or do you mean when is the stuff being testing on PTB for Ashlands coming to the live patch?

[narrow pulsar]

yes after ashland

[gray sand]

Deep North is the last remaining biome.

[narrow pulsar]

oh zaym i see so dyrnwyn worth to get but it's hard tho xD

[gray sand]

That makes no sense.

[plush umbra]

isn't it still almost entirely slash damage with a tiny bit of fire

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, the fire damage is just there to make the enemies burn when hit

[plush umbra]

pfffff, 10 fire damage at level 4 for a flaming sword

[merry pebble]

yeah, that really needs to be boosted

[plush umbra]

if the reason is to make it not undisputably the best sword for the deep north, then i get it, otherwise i'd up the fire percentage of its total damage.

[serene talon]

ah yes, the struggle for stone after getting the stonecutter

[gray sand]

No?

[gray sand]

You should have assloads from mining copper.
And mining more copper is how you get assloads more.

[south cove]

yo anyone wanna play

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[serene talon]

well i already used that stone

but i need copper for a forge in my new base anyways so i guess i'll go mine more

[gray sand]

Never ending cycle.

Also I had like.. 4 Iron Chests worth of stone just from copper mining. How do you burn through that much? 🤔

[serene talon]

oh.

right i left the stone lying there because i wanted to use my inventory weight capacity for copper

now that makes sense

[gray sand]

Waste not, want not.

FICSIT does not waste.

[serene talon]

because of the workbench it should still be there so i just need to go get it

[serene talon]

NOOOO don't remind me of my plutonium thing that still doesnt work

[calm compass]

will valheim be less laggy once the full release comes? im not really that advanced into the game but it already has some fps drops, and i heard that in modded its even worse

[gray sand]

Who can possibly answer that question accurately other than <insert whatever all-knowing deity you choose to believe in>??

[calm compass]

im only asking because valheim would seem the type of game that'd have no lag since its graphics arent like some unreal engine 5 thing, it just doesnt fit valheim being a laggy game

[serene talon]

well the textures are simple but the lighting is very in depth

[calm compass]

yeah but thats not what i mean, its good looking, but games that are much larger than valheim have no lag at all for me, get what i mean?

[serene talon]

yeah

the most lag comes when you build something huge and detailed using many building blocks

[gray sand]

The only thing I can say is that this viewpoint shows you don't know that much about how games work. 🤷‍♂️

[calm compass]

yeah i dont, but i do know enough to see that it doesnt make sense for a game like valheim have such lag spikes

[surreal falcon]

Idk what you're talking about my game never lags

Are you sure your server is running properly it's not having connection issues?

[serene talon]

maybe you are playing on too high settings for your device?

[calm compass]

i am, and im playing solo

[calm compass]

my pc is fine, thays why i say its strange

[surreal falcon]

It is strange, since nobody else has unexpected lag

[calm compass]

i can run any other game in the highest settings, so i believe it would also be the case for valheim, but once in a while i get fps drops

[surreal falcon]

Strictly expected lag

[calm compass]

idk then

[serene talon]

cosmic rays then

[fossil venture]

Will there be a desert biome?

[serene talon]

until 1.0 not, since Deep North is said to be the last biome

maybe after 1.0 they'll turn the lands when you fall off the world into a desert who knows

but probably never since deserts don't really fit into a viking/norse mythology setting

[keen cloud]

The thing is that i found queen spawn before ygluth spawn

Is very weird ,already got black forge too

[rain flare]

Why am I not surprised 😂

[serene talon]

umm what where can i buy this luck

[rain flare]

Yagluth is such a hopeless case 🤣

[keen cloud]

Also i always lure seekes to dwarves towers and farm em

Fenrir set helps a lot to explore mist even as a blind man

Also that giant bombarding brain is good to attack dwarves towrs and get the extractor from chests

Fun thing u can get the marble from abandoned towers using a stonecutter

[wraith sun]

sometimes dvergr fire and frost mages are good at breaking the chests themselves as well when any seekers are around ^^

[keen cloud]

Even from dwarves towers if the totem is destroyed u can get their tower materials

I always steal their lanterns

[serene talon]

once the ward is destroyed, yes

oh oops i maybe should learn to read

[keen cloud]

Ye but they are good as ally atm

But u can build around in their base so is like u have safe zones

[serene talon]

ye i build my house connected to one of their towers once

2 star yellow mage for sure helped

[opal prairie]

Larger doesn't always mean harder on cpu / gpu / memory, ...
The more instances there are to calculate the harder the game will be on your computer even if it looks less good or is a smaller game.
We can only hope they do an optimization round before the game is completely finished.

[keen cloud]

U got urself a security team

[cunning monolith]

Antartica is technically a desert, so Deep North might as well be.

[amber fern]

Is there a way to renewably farm iron?

[cunning monolith]

Oozers and fishing. Won't be fast though.

[amber fern]

Mhmm interesting

[vocal rivet]

It'll be a while before you run out of what's already in the world anyway.

[austere belfry]

i found some iron bars in the mountains but I wouldnt call that renewable

[peak condor]

Is there any light source you don't have to renew/refill?

[vocal rivet]

Several.

[cunning monolith]

Dvergr Lanterns and naturally glowing things on item stands.

[amber fern]

For sure, and it's probably on me but it feels there isn't many swamps in my world as I've explored so far. Obviously just my own exploration choices xD

[plush umbra]

(just keep in mind they're one of the few light sources that aren't player base structures, so replacing torches with dvergr lanterns may result in some unspawnproofed areas)

[vocal rivet]

Oh God, that's true... (hops online)

[peak condor]

Ahh, they are not player created? The Dvergr ones?

[plush umbra]

they are, they're just not "player base structures" (a group of structures that prevent enemy spawns and item despawns within 20 meters and enable most raids if you're within 40 meters of at least 3)

[peak condor]

Ahh like that, it's just to light the inside of the base

[plush umbra]

ah yea, that likely is already covered by other ones, so it's probably fine

[opal prairie]

Like qualentin says renewable is only some mobs in the swamps and fishing there.
There is a bunch of iron to find in the mistlands once you get there though all the armors and sword and bridges the dvergr and other beings left there.

[peak condor]

Yea we're using V+ to set the benches to double their area, we had like 20 benches just to cover base 😄

[vocal rivet]

V+ seems like overkill for that.

[merry pebble]

i am not sure precisely how much upgrades increase bench radius, but with one or 2 upgrades you should be able to achieve the same result, the materials for it are not rare or anything

[plush umbra]

was it changed to also affect spawnproofing? i haven't tested it in a while, but when that was first added, it affected only the build radius, not player base coverage

[maiden flame]

Hey everyone. Im looking for friends to play a new world.

Im Mexincan, but I want to practice my English, and make new friends,

I someone its intereseted, send me dm, pls 🙂

[merry pebble]

oh, i am not sure actually 🤔 but when i was spawnproofing i did just see the edge of upgraded station and i took it as spawnproofed, didnt have any issues really

[serene talon]

#1024264966712340510

[plush umbra]

a lotta stuff spawnproofs, so it could be that other things covered that as well

i'm gonna test it right now

[merry pebble]

i was only using workbenches, i was trying to spawnproof around my base pretty far into the forest
tho it was proven to not be lasting solution since mobs spawned outside of the spawnproofed are were moving in and destroying the workbenches thus shrinking the area that was protected XD

[plush umbra]

it looks like it does extend spawnproofing.
wish i had a copy of the first build so i could retest it on that to know for sure if it was actually changed or if i just somehow tested it wrong the first time 😅 i remember complaining about it during PTB

[merry pebble]

welp, good to know 😄 (and i was for once not wrong about something XD)

[keen cloud]

how can i put dvergr lanterns on an item stand i tryed and it doesn t work

[gray sand]

Dverger lanterns have a buildable that attaches directly to the wall or ground.

[keen cloud]

i gotta check how that works

[gray sand]

It's a building that uses the item as an ingredient.

[fickle urchin]

man

[vocal rivet]

You don't need a stand.

[keen cloud]

oh

btw where do i smelt the copper scrap?

nvm it works at normal furnace

i thougt since is from the mistlands should be working at the furnace for black metal

[serene talon]

sadly the blast furnace is only useable for black metal and the ashlands metal

[vocal rivet]

But copper is copper.

[vocal rivet]

So far.

[serene talon]

hopefully in the future it will be usable for every metal

[distant field]

I doubt that will happen

[serene talon]

hope dies last

[empty dagger]

are there 1 star and 2 star lox?

[distant field]

Yes.

[empty dagger]

Man they must be rare as heck

[opal prairie]

Nope there aren't unless mods are used.

[serene talon]

only in the code sadly

[opal prairie]

This info is wrong. They aren't in the game.

[empty dagger]

oh

well that sucks lol

[distant field]

Wait… I thought all mobs had a 10% chance of spawning as 1* and then a further 10% chance of upgrading to 2*?!

[odd helm]

Not all mobs can be starred

[empty dagger]

they should add them but thats up to them if they want to do that

[distant field]

Which can’t?

[opal prairie]

Not all mobs can be starred.
No starred squitos nor loxes or serpents and maybe some others.

[odd helm]

Lox, serpents, deathsquitos, any of the slimes iirc

[empty dagger]

Bah thanks for the info

[opal prairie]

An army of 2 starred loxes would stomp about anything I think.

[serene talon]

that first one still making me sad

[distant field]

Huh. Thanks. I guess the video I saw was outdated.

[odd helm]

Starred lox have never been a thing

Only way to get them would be either a mod or devcommands

Same for the other mobs that can't be starred

[opal prairie]

Might have just been plain wrong or didn't add the outliers and focused on the most mobs work this way.

[opal prairie]

2 star squitos would just be plain don't get stung or you are death thing and will cause many nightmares.

[serene talon]

i know

[empty dagger]

LOL

[distant field]

Thinking about it now, they never talked about Plains and later mobs. But Plains was in from the start, right?

[empty dagger]

||I did find a 2 star askvin from the ashlands||

[gray sand]

2 star Charred Warlocks that summon starred Twitchers 😁

[serene talon]

yeah

[keen cloud]

good to know

i didn t know that the copper scrap is the normal copper

[serene talon]

well the result is the same

[keen cloud]

what weapons from blackforge are recommanded for mistlands/ashlands?

for a warrior

like sword +shield or 2 hands

[gray sand]

Both work fine.

[azure yacht]

Mistwalker

[distant field]

Mistwalker rocks.

[vocal rivet]

That would make no sense. It'll probably used for whatever ore is available in Deep North though.

[keen cloud]

gotta get wisp to unlock it

[azure yacht]

Idk what would be the point of having a smelter that's clearly intended for the endgame metals to just switch to universal smelting and leave smelter completely worthless

[distant field]

Froziron. 😛

[azure yacht]

Frosteel

Fropper

Fronze

Frolver

[vocal rivet]

Frostiron.

[plush umbra]

if it's frosteel, watch people spell it froststeel

[ornate sigil]

Iceillium

[serene talon]

!!!IRON!!!

[azure yacht]

Frometal

[serene talon]

it's not even gonna be a new ressource we are just gonna use iron because why not

[ornate sigil]

Na, we are going all the way back to copper/bronze.

[azure yacht]

Would be hilarious if they did

Even more to see all the people crying about it

[burnt glen]

frostmetal

[serene talon]

the worst part is that it doesnt seem completely impossible wich i think is sad

[gray sand]

Titanium.
Because Vikings totally had that 😉

[keen cloud]

it s cool that u do tons of dungeons in swamp for iron and mine like a robot on mountain to make later a set from some bing amfibians skin

on mist

[gray sand]

Fuck. No. To. Robots. In. Valheim.

[burnt glen]

tf is the amfibian in the game?

[keen cloud]

seekers

[burnt glen]

that's a .. bug

[keen cloud]

still disgusting

[burnt glen]

Yeah but amphibian means they can live both on land and water, Seekers don't do that. I believe the neck is an amphibian.

[keen cloud]

but in dungeons they do stay in the water

[serene talon]

at the bottom of the pits, where they belong

[distant field]

I loved the way copper became relevant again. Not massively, but enough to make going back to mine some more deposits worth it.

[ornate sigil]

You didn't need to go back to the mines(s) since the copper weapon and armor in the mists work too.

[burnt glen]

They were removed from swamp raids and the justification given was that they don't like really wet environments, also, amphibians have a vertebrate whereas Seekers have an exoskeleton, they're not amphibians. Sure are disgusting though.

[ornate sigil]

Amphibians are animals, seekers are insects. Different kingdoms, but ya they give me the creeps every so often.

[keen cloud]

well some insects are always on water so that s why i called em like that ,well mb i guess

[merry pebble]

necks and asksvins

(and with seeing how draugrs can just walk underwater i would put them in that category too 😛 )

[distant field]

Insects are animals… 😜

[burnt glen]

Necks and Asksvins are dogs, and dragurs are just zombies who could swim really well before they died.

[distant field]

Lox must be amphibious, too, right?

[burnt glen]

water buffalo

[merry pebble]

not necessarily, its part lizard and part ox, neither of those has to be amphibian 🙂

[fair cairn]

draugrs dont swim though, they walk on the buttom like zombies

[serene talon]

like the charred did, slowly ammassing an army under you boat

[burnt glen]

wow I used to think salamanders were reptiles

[drowsy magnet]

why

[burnt glen]

true, but as undead, do they even need to breathe? if not, and that's the reason they can move underwater, I'd say its more a thing of being undead than an amphibian.

[gray sand]

Gents... take a walk.

[keen cloud]

dead amphibian

[gray sand]

[fair cairn]

my head hurts just thinking of moving

[gray sand]

Quoting the Pirates line about undead walking underwater.

[burnt glen]

underwarer orr..?

[fair cairn]

idd say they can walk underwatercause they are heavy enough and have no oxygen in their bodies anymore and thus cant even float

[fair cairn]

oooh

[burnt glen]

they have a lizard-like appearance

[drowsy magnet]

lizards have scaly skin

[fair cairn]

that is fair

[serene talon]

what trees just jump out of the ground when they grow thats so funny

first time seeing that

[chilly violet]

rant ahead:

||they did blood magic dirty i think. i get that its meant to be more utility-focused but if you wanna main blood magic, you gotta gamble for skeles with bows if you wanna do any range damage, skeles die in like, 2-3 hits, and are even harder to use in higher difficulty modes where they die in 1-2 hits. which would be fine if they were meant to be meatboxes for enemies to be distracted by but each blood magic level increases their damage, not health. new staff doesnt give any xp, which sucks extra hard cuz its already the skill that levels the slowest in the game, and bubble shield is OP yea but like, its not like an elementalist or any build with eitr cant use it as a side piece. my side pieces are a bow and mace and they are both at lvl 40 while blood magic is lingering at lvl 20, the level i grinded it to at a graydwarf spawner, and if i die, even lower

meanwhile my save for a full blown elementalist is lvl 50, doing absurd damage at any range, didnt grind at all. i dont get it||

there needs to be a semi-reliable way to do damage yourself as a blood mage, melee or ranged, a staff that used like 5% hp or 10% hp to do a blood slash or something, or a homing blood missile for 20% hp. i wish the ||thunder shotgun|| was blood magic and shot bone fragments or something instead, was holding out for a way to be a blood magic pure in this update, with all the undead stuff, and i just ended up playing melee with ✨bonus✨skeletons✨ again lmao

✨

all in all tho, the new stuff is inherently cool and it is a hell of a good update now that i got to experience it in full

[distant field]

Ha, yes. I love visiting my tree farm a few days after planting saplings.

[serene talon]

boioioioioioioooiiiinnnggg

[drowsy magnet]

didn't read but good for you!

[distant field]

I think of it more like a cork coming out of a bottle… slight creak… then POP!

[serene talon]

hmm should i finish my cross shaped house with a tower in the middle?

[distant field]

Yes.

[serene talon]

okay, it won't be that big 2x2 meter, will look cool tho

[merry pebble]

do you mean that in a sense of 2floor x 2floor? since that would be technically 4x4 😄

[serene talon]

oh i got the length of the floors wrong oops

so yeah 4mx4m

[merry pebble]

i also confuse it all the time XD

[distant field]

Is that just the tower or the whole building?!

[merry sun]

Both magics Works together id think. This is bc i dont miss any Blood weapon direct Damage dealer

[fallen zephyr]

I'm kinda over dying in Ashlands. What are you guys up to?

[austere belfry]

drakes arent dangerous, just super annoying bruh

[fallen zephyr]

That would be entirely dependent on whether you're rocking flametal or leather armour (edit: Bruh!).

[gray sand]

Living in Ashlands.

[austere belfry]

pretty sure the mountains don't have flametal

[merry pebble]

it depends a lot if you have frost resist or not 😄

[fallen zephyr]

Bravo you. How's the 5G coverage in your base? I can't imagine you're leaving for much outside of necessities.

[gray sand]

Deforestation.

Ashwood ain't cheap.

It's literally everywhere. All wood~~ is ~~ contains ashwood in Ashlands.

[gray sand]

Yes. But usage costs are doubled.

I need moar.

[fallen zephyr]

Eat better food.

[gray sand]

What does food have to do with wood costs for flooring?

[frigid gust]

x2 resources world modifier 😉

[gray sand]

Nah. I enjoy the grind.

[fallen zephyr]

Using materials isn't costed entirely in placement, you need to consider collection as well.

You're welcome. Anytime. 😄

[fossil venture]

Is full rag armor and a flint axe to fight the first boss?

[merry pebble]

its enough imo, you could make teather armor but its not really necesseary 😄

Given you can beat every boss naked and with only your fists... yes.

Well... maybe not Fader 😁

[fossil venture]

Aight thx

[digital wave]

honestly after having a heap of trouble with landing in ashlands its become one of my favourites

[austere belfry]

are golems known to guard cabins in the mountains?

[merry pebble]

yep

[austere belfry]

lucky me ._.

3 golems in a blizzard

[fickle urchin]

i hate them

with a firey passion

[austere belfry]

well the suffering was worth it cuz that cabin had onion seeds

[fickle urchin]

about that i just go naked with frost mead and high stamina food loot it quickly then run back like coward

[austere belfry]

if they dropped silver it might feel worth it

[fickle urchin]

but how many?

[livid widget]

Ah farts, still no tuning patch?

[vocal rivet]

Are we expecting one?

[livid widget]

I'm expecting something given the changes on test

[teal abyss]

Is there a plan to add Dvergs furniture and wooden floor and beams? 🧐

[fickle urchin]

living the dvergr live

[azure yacht]

No

[clever saffron]

What’s better the porcupine or frostner for plains

[merry pebble]

frostner imo

[teal abyss]

Right. They are just cool... Who would bother!

[merry sun]

Frostner for sure.

Against loxes Frost does no Damage btw. I would go with Blackmetal Sword, Frostner and Blackmetal Atgeir

[wraith sun]

or you can just use spear against everything in the plains

[fervent minnow]

The world gen blessed our world, both a mountain and swamp are connected to our starter island

[wraith sun]

fun fact, fallen valkyrie projectiles can be parried

[fervent minnow]

it hasnt blessed us with a moder rune stone tohuhgh

[wraith sun]

it's not too hard to find 🙂

[fervent minnow]

it hasnt spawned in our world apparently

[tiny mortar]

Everything can be parried if youre skilled enough

[fervent minnow]

We've searched about 3 mountains, got like 400 silver, like 5 dragon eggs but we can NOT find this rune stone

It REFUSES to spawn

[gleaming stump]

that sounds like pain

[fervent minnow]

We're so ready to fight but we literlaly cant 😭

[gleaming stump]

i had that issue with my server about a year ago before the mistlands update

[fervent minnow]

We have been ready to fight but it just, we cant find it

also this is the biggest mountain i have ever seen

[merry pebble]

hmm, it can be in frost caves or in the stone structures in mountains, you will find it sooner or later 🙂

[fervent minnow]

Sooner or later hopefully sooner

It's hell wanting to play the game but you're literally locked, we cannot progress

we've got all the things we need, we cant really do much else

[wraith sun]

i haven't dared trying to parry dvergr mages yet 😅

[fervent minnow]

losing my mind

i wish i could show you how enormous this mountain was

[wraith sun]

first time i played through valheim me and my step dad had to search through 19 plains biomes before finding a stone telling us where the last boss was...

[fervent minnow]

Cool!
Doesnt make me gain any motivation to keep searching

dev commands look tasty af rn

[vocal rivet]

Just 3?

[fervent minnow]

💀

My bad, sorry I'm not willing to spend 10 hours searching for a single rune stone just so that I can actually progress

[amber fern]

Can always use a seedviewer if you don't want to engage in the exploration component of the game

[vocal rivet]

In 10 hours you could cover the entire map.

[jagged wind]

i found Moder spawn location (actual location, not vegvisir) in 3rd mountain.. also it was the first big one

previous 2 were quite smaller mountains

[fervent minnow]

You cannot explore the ENTIRE map in 10 hours with our boat, Im almost certain of that

[robust delta]

me too, except i've been playing in my own world to catch up to my friends and their'retheyer moder was close while i had to sail for mine where mistlands and deep north would of met 💀

[fervent minnow]

lovely

[robust delta]

at least in that outer rim. 2 moders that were near the edge

[fervent minnow]

we are currently searching the ice cavesi n this mountain, praying its in one of them cause ugh 😭

This entire world has been cursed, because on one hand we've been getting pretty good luck

but we also had to search like 3 hours for a single swamp crypt, but once we found a swamp with one that swamp then had enoguh crypts to set us for the run

[robust delta]

however i have a big mountains near home for good silver, found a big swamp with like 14 sunken crypts, long big plains with yag nearby, elder was on my starting island, and elkthyr wasn't far either. to compensate the luck it got all compressed into a day and a half journey to find a rune to find moder and then sail to moder.
no wonder moder cries 😭

[robust delta]

that is legit what happened to me 💀

[fervent minnow]

LMAO

[robust delta]

power spike luck hits hard frfr

[fervent minnow]

Oh also, we have a swamp and mountain connected to our spawn island

Its just...we found the mountain only after exploring the others and the swamp had nothing in it

[robust delta]

i found so much iron i couldn't bring it back to my base in one go

[fervent minnow]

we made a forge and workbench at the place so, we also didnt farm THAT much iron

[robust delta]

i had like 3 swamps on my starting island but they were all dinky small ones. lots of body piles though

[fervent minnow]

bonemass was easy enough, i beat it first go and my friend...died a lot but we did win

[fervent minnow]

yeahhhhh

[robust delta]

revisiting bonemass with frostner was a good treat

[fervent minnow]

why'd you revisit bonemass

[robust delta]

cuz frostner does great damage against it; dopamine hit
he a stinky fella

i main clubs

[fervent minnow]

fair, we havent made frostner

Im just using a silver sword and silver shield

[fervent minnow]

i woukd but im lazy to stick with one class

[robust delta]

sword user 💔

[fervent minnow]

i used an atgier for bronzed!

[jagged wind]

i had Moder quite close to spawn 😅

[robust delta]

me too but i took this to a new level and stuck with club cuz it's the first weap u get, unless ur an axe user then u rite

[fervent minnow]

fair play

[robust delta]

good thing i know how to read and totally didn't read it as "too lazy to not stick to one class"

[fervent minnow]

LMAO

[jagged wind]

have elder and moder on starting island and bonemass and yagluth a bit further (like on 2nd island north of starting island), but quite close together

[fervent minnow]

luckyt mf

[jagged wind]

technically it's not a starting island.. but like 3 islands merged together 😅

[ornate sigil]

but the question remains of what did you loose for easier starter bosses access?

[robust delta]

in which, kinda? i mostly use clubs but i try different things. if i wanna do funny stuff i take knive and see if i can stealth attack trolls or stronk foes in general. i usually carry an atgeir for aoe. i used to have a sledge but it felt really awkward and seemed a bit better for coop than solo

[ornate sigil]

because everything has a price when RNG has a say in things.

[robust delta]

nice. i had a huge mf starting island

[jagged wind]

idk rly 😅

[robust delta]

pain. misery 😏

[jagged wind]

i died many times in a stupid way.. but it's my first playthrough.. so gonna die a lot everytime i meet something new

like yesterday when i learned that cultists can't be staggered with the atgeir sweep attack 🥲

[ornate sigil]

decient drops for ore (like iron), surtling spawners, an over abundance of harder mobs (like golems or aboms)...? the posibilities are endless.

[robust delta]

my first playthrough as well. first time i saw a troll with my wood shield and deer armor i was like i can perfect block this
best part was it had a log

[jagged wind]

and that i definitely need a fire resistant mead

[robust delta]

oo gimme more golems

can't wait for when two handed hammers get changed. maybe something for tower shield too

[merry pebble]

why would they get changed?

[robust delta]

why are they good?

[merry pebble]

eh? i didnt say they are

i personally dont really like them

i am asking why do you think they should be changed

[vocal rivet]

I'm more interested in why they think they WOULD be changed.

[fair cairn]

and here i am nitpicking cause of no commas

[vocal rivet]

I saw that cheeky edit.

[fair cairn]

well

atleast it still has the same meaning

[robust delta]

they feel pretty strange to use er like clunky? not the greatest with words, but maybe if hammer had an attack sequence that were slow but hard and the secondary attack being a slam, that sounds cool.
i don't really know where tower shield fits 🤷‍♂️ maybe for hordes to block multiple attacks? but it feels like a slight outlier compared to the other two, but im also good at parrying so may just be me biased for liking bucklers a lot

curious what y'all think/any tips about the two weapons, as in like thematics they're totally what i would use

[merry pebble]

no tips, i dont play with those, but i dont see a point in berating something i dont know how to use/dont know whats its best use is, simply, i dont play with those but if somebody want to play with it then by all means, doesent concern me

[robust delta]

yea

[ornate sigil]

afaik, they don't get the multi-target downgrade to damage, but I could be wrong since I have only rarely used the 2h hammers before.

[ember kraken]

I'm a big fan of 2hand hammers, most specifically the stagbreaker. But I'll admit I always liked it more as a tool than a weapon.

[fossil venture]

Guys, im a new player. I already have 2 deer throphys. How do I find the boss spawn.

[ember kraken]

As a straight up damage weapon they really aren't that spectacular though, if you're playing solo and want a weapon to smash people up close with, the 2hand hammers are not that.

[ember kraken]

The point where you started, the spawn ring, has a "Vegvisir" that you can interact with to show/place the boss altar on the map.

[fossil venture]

Aha

Thx

[ember kraken]

Or just run around until you find a weird looking altar, there tend to be 1-2 close by.

[robust delta]

i don't think they do, and they do have a pretty beeg shockwave aoe. they also feel badass even though i don't like it much.
something really funny about throwing this at a greyling and you see the ragdoll go flying lmao

[robust delta]

i had two side by side of each other. i dunno if that's normal or if they're usually scattered on the island lol

[ember kraken]

It naturally varies by seed, my current seed doesn't have one on the starting island, so I had to sail to get to it. (love it!)

But MOST seeds, usually have 2 within spitting distance of spawn...

[fossil venture]

Lets go

Just won my first boss battle

[ornate sigil]

welcome to the rest of the game, where things get much harder and more satisfying when beat.😉

[fossil venture]

Yeah to be honest the difficulty really dissapointed me. Altho im playing on normal mode.

Well, dissapointed aint the right word. It was underwhelming,

[ornate sigil]

ya, for those who are accustomed to challenge, like darksouls, the first boss is a "wait that's it?" kinda of a feeling. it was aparently designed as a tutorial for how bosses work mechanically and how to spawn them, so it was made easier than the others by quite a lot.

[robust delta]

wow that's tough 😂

[robust delta]

yeah it all scales up as u go. elder will be fun for you

the true dark souls boss is using trolls as free labor and trying not to die

[vocal rivet]

Honestly, learning to sail earlier in the game is better, I think, when there's less risk to a bad trip.

[ember kraken]

I'd say yes, as long as it doesn't involve a RAFT.

[vocal rivet]

Lol, no, definitely not the raft.

[robust delta]

first raft experience should be sliding it down a mountain, with lots of campfires to ensure less death up the uphill battle

🥸

[ember kraken]

And yeah, since I have to sail to get to first boss, I can't get the antler pick, so no metal, so no Karve yet.

[fossil venture]

This is the first game I actually put time on my base. I placed a rug in my base and everything.

[robust delta]

i.. can't say same about my house
my house is missing a wall for the aesthetics i promise 👍

[ember kraken]

My house is a hole in the ground....

[robust delta]

my forge is in a hole as well

i have constructed a floating bellows for my forge somehow. it works well

[ornate sigil]

the eitr refinery needs to be in a hole in the ground(or boxed in by marble).

[robust delta]

my campfires are under the house and i have to stand in some spots to interact with stuff that would smoke me
said forge is down there too xdd

[ornate sigil]

definitely not the most optimal base design then.

[robust delta]

i'm cooking i promise (cauldron also smokes me)

[vocal rivet]

Have you tried building a chimney?

[fossil venture]

Wait

[robust delta]

..theoretically there is one

[fossil venture]

Do necks start spawning after the first boss? I just started seeing em

[robust delta]

i actually don't know. i feel like necks have always been there but i never paid attention

[ember kraken]

Naah, they just spawn randomly in meadows near water.

[vocal rivet]

Necks will always spawn.

[robust delta]

necks are inevitable
you will never escape

[jagged wind]

i died 3 times on Eikthyr 🥲

[fossil venture]

True

[ornate sigil]

yes, without necks, there would only be floating heads and sholders..... they are in the game from the beginning.

[fossil venture]

Im an outward player, valheim is deffo easier

[grand ravine]

i just want to use eikthyr as a mount. :/

[fossil venture]

Two completely different games tho

[robust delta]

precisely

[fossil venture]

Horses and wolves would be awesome to ride

[robust delta]

outward?

[fossil venture]

It gets compared to valheim a ton

Check it out i think you'd like it

[vocal rivet]

I've never heard of it in that context.

[grand ravine]

🤔 really? i tried it early on, and absolutely hated it.. :x

[robust delta]

must be the ark survival evolved and conan exiles comparison in my head. i'll check out later

[fossil venture]

Yeah? I like it a ton. I really dont really get the comparisons it is just a great game tbh.

Just no building like valheim

[grand ravine]

hmm. i just remember several hours of traveling through nothing, and thinking "im not high enough for this"

[fossil venture]

dawg what

''The forest is moving''????

[grand ravine]

maybe they added content after

[fossil venture]

I assume this is the raid

[grand ravine]

dodge and weave!

[fossil venture]

how

am i supposed to deal with this bro.

[grand ravine]

just stay in the red circle and kill stuff

[fossil venture]

what if i leave

[vocal rivet]

Then the counter will pause.

[fossil venture]

oh

I died

dang

[ornate sigil]

you could just run in circles if combat becomes to much until the hoard dies down and the event ends.

then clean up the stragglers.

[sly oyster]

I got a severe lack of soft tissue

[tepid prawn]

"The forest is moving" and the other raid that comes after killing second boss are definitely harder then killing the bosses that enable them, the third boss is the first that is a bit harder if you don't prepare well. The hardest boss imo is the 6th even if you prepare

[tepid prawn]

this is always the case, those skulls are hard to find, there is one trick though, if you don't talk to the raven when you find the first skull, he will always pop up when you are near a skull and therefore make them much easier to find

[sly oyster]

Rip

Next playthrough lol

[ornate sigil]

or you could pick the dwarfs.....brains

[tepid prawn]

the dwarfs drop so little tissue is not worth it imo

[sly oyster]

Tbh the seekers do a good enough job.

Those Lil dudes cannot stay alive

[tepid prawn]

I don't fight them ever, I get my extractors with the cart normally

[sly oyster]

I don't wanna talk about how long it took to get 10 cores

[ornate sigil]

brings over the foghorn of death

[sly oyster]

And on hard mode the seekers nearly one shot the dudes, I bet they do on VH

[tepid prawn]

also normal unless you get very lucky

[ornate sigil]

post 1st extractor, you could just play marbles with the ward and refined eitr....

[sly oyster]

Then a soldier comes by and stomps and now their dwelling is gone. Buff structures BTW

[tepid prawn]

true, I still use cart though, only want to damage ward not all the other stuff

[ornate sigil]

percision, i see.

[sly oyster]

Cart ward?

[ornate sigil]

raming the ward using the cart. the game doesn't reconize it as a act of agression so the dwarfs don't become hostile. same with refined eitr or dragging a bunch of seekers into combat with them.

[ember kraken]

Seriously, the difference between a hard and an easy seed, is just how lucky you are with which direction you go at the start...

[ornate sigil]

may be? there are some seeds that don't have any bosses on the starter island and/or the starter island is tiny. both would make things more challenging (at least in the beginning).

[ember kraken]

Yeah there's some outliers, basically by how stunted your starting island is, and if it's possible to walk off it. I've played a few of those and love them. But generally every seed I've seen people say is hard, and I've either looked it up or tried. Just go a different direction and it becomes easy.

[ornate sigil]

this game is largely about exploration, so most complaints about how hard it is, sometimes boils down to the person not exploring enough to get the resources needed to progress with relative ease.

which is basically what you said with more words.

[sly oyster]

i wanna complain that everything on a slight incline or decline can hit me but i cant hit it

i got mad stacks of bars

[distant field]

You gradually learn to take this into account.

[hidden gorge]

by far the biggest complaint about the game

[azure yacht]

They can't tho

Enemies can't hit targets at slopes

[sly oyster]

are you playing valheim?

[azure yacht]

Difference is when the attack itself has a wide range

Or it's an aoe.

Which the player has a lot of too

[sly oyster]

i can show you 100 different ways across every biome that something can attack me from a point i cannot hit it

its especially bad in the mountains and mists

[azure yacht]

I have seen draugr miss attacks on a work bench that is like 0.1m below them

[azure yacht]

So yes, I do play valheim, If I didn't, I wouldn't be saying any of this

Enemies suffer from the same sloped combat issue players have

[sly oyster]

but you are wrong

[azure yacht]

I'm not

Enemies attack exactly where they're aiming.

Which is not up or down, like the player

[sly oyster]

its funny since you wont believe me i go do a simple search on the topic and get pages of people with the same complaint, even a legit mod to fix it

[azure yacht]

What are you talking about?

When did I deny the issue is a thing?

I am explicitly stating that it is there, but that enemies suffer from it too...

[vocal rivet]

Eh, people just read what they want to, you know that.

[sly oyster]

incredibly rare

im gonna need someone to tell the seekers and wolves they cant actually hit me on slopes

[ember kraken]

Naah, just depends on the attacks animation, hitbox, aoe etc. Which depends on each single attack, as much for player as for enemies.

Same reason so many players hate the spear. They craft one in meadows, and then try to kill Necks with it, which is so low to the ground that any elevation at all makes you miss them. So people just think spear is bad, can't hit anything, bad attack animation, etc. (And thus never learn to position themselves either)

[ornate sigil]

kinda like not taking arrow drop into consideration.

[distant field]

Or whatever is going on when you try to shoot either up or down elevation differences.

[halcyon blade]

Yeah, feels like the position the arrow is fired from doesn't change based on your vertical rotation. Like how it fires from a bit forward from your location when looking straight down rather than from around the center of the screen (like when you're facing forward).

[brisk dew]

Didn't see a mod section, only mod issue, so asking here.

Is there a mod that lets enemies attack your base/house if you choose to hide inside?

I want that base defense feel

[lunar sapphire]

#mods-discussion

[stiff ember]

I know ashlands is meant to be hard but omg

I did a playthru on very hard combat b4 ashlands

now I am getting smashed

[grand ravine]

yeah ashlands is on a whole other level compared to other biomes

[rotund dust]

I just discovered a room at the bottom of a frost cave, that I hadnt found before, with a fishing rod, and a runestone, with someones final last words, before he laid down to die 😭

Now I have a fishing rod 😄

[grand ravine]

lol!

[rotund dust]

Would be cool if different fish have different properties, but from what ive seen with the ones that have washed up/jumped on my boat, so far they are all lackluster.

[grand ravine]

that about sums up my feelings about it. "that's so sad!! why couldn't you just leave the way i got in?? now i'm depressed. oh! free stuff! I'll take that, kthx."

[rotund dust]

He stated why tho, he was too cold n weak to get back out the way that he fell down, and he could only survive so long!

[grand ravine]

i kindof wonder if they'll do something more with fish when they do the oceans update

[ornate sigil]

The only ones that could be considered to have "properties" would be the puffer fish (can poison) or the angler fish (has the light, I am not sure if you can use it as a light source like surtling trophies).

[rotund dust]

Ocean Update was on the 2021, or 2022, Roadmap, to be done that year 😂

[ornate sigil]

Yah, that map had some very lofty time goals.

[rotund dust]

H&H, Ocean, Deep North, and something else i think, al in one year

[ornate sigil]

Likely ashlands

[rotund dust]

Plus bug fixes 😂

Mistlands was still just trees with spider webs at that point too

[grand ravine]

the angler light doesn't seem to do much. it says something kinda funny but.

[ornate sigil]

Ya, all that content wouldn't fit in a year unless it was already done and they only needed to bug test it.

I do remember the "this could be a spider biome" mistlands.

Glad it wasn't. Lots of people have arachnophobia.

[grand ravine]

i still want a spiderweb treehouse.

[rotund dust]

I was looking forward to the spiders 😦

[grand ravine]

same

[ornate sigil]

It's still in the code...

[rotund dust]

Halloween special 😛

[ornate sigil]

Just like the old version of ashlands metal is.

[rotund dust]

Aint been to new Ashlands yet, but one of my characters had thousands of Flametal 😂

[ornate sigil]

Among other things that never made it into game.

Ya, that flametal is obsolete most likely.

I poke around devcommands a lot, hence why I know some random stuff like this.

[rotund dust]

I remember getting to Ashlands for the first time, and there was surtlings, and flametal 😂

Then we sailed our boat an hour home, to find out it couldnt be smelted

[grand ravine]

i never got there before the update. :/

[ornate sigil]

"Meteorite ore"

[rotund dust]

Meteorite Ore?

[ornate sigil]

I believe that was the old name for flametal

[rotund dust]

Ah, when i discovered it, was flametal, this was April of w/e year this game released

[ornate sigil]

Considering it was just a flaming rock in a small-ish crater.

Might have been a placeholder name or a fan name.

[rotund dust]

Who knows, i just remember the discussion of, is it Flame-tal, or Fla-metal

[grand ravine]

flame metal?

[rotund dust]

It was one of those, had to be a few drinks in and there convos 😂

[grand ravine]

drinks are important for important discussions like that.

[ornate sigil]

I prefer fla-metal just because it sounds kinda like flotilla(ship term).

And ships are important for vikings.

[rotund dust]

Flotilla now has me thinking of Godzilla..

[brisk dew]

Hi, what determens an enemies lvl?

Do they increase over time, or only when u walk to more dangerous bioms?

[rotund dust]

The amount of players on a server, if they have 0, 1 or 2 star also plays a factor

And of course, the difficulty setting in world modifiers

[brisk dew]

okay so increase in diff, will make more star mobs?

[rotund dust]

The mobs wont have increased stars, but a 0 star is like fighting a 1 or 2 star, depending what setting, so a 2 star could be like fighting a 4(?)

[ornate sigil]

No star is the base level of a monster, 1 and 2 star are the levels above. The difficulty increases with a couple factors 1 being how far from OG spawn you are, the other being is you are playing with other people.

[rotund dust]

Monsters stronger further away?! 😮

[ornate sigil]

3rd factor is a recent addition of world modifiers.

[ornate sigil]

In general, yes.

[rotund dust]

We talking biomes, or, a greyling that spawned at OG spawn vs a greyling that spawned on outerrim?

[ornate sigil]

Hence why you don't see 2star enemies close to spawn, but on the outer edges like the mistlands, they become more common.

Not sure greylings get stars, but greydwarfs definitely do.

[rotund dust]

I thought you meant the monsters themselves, regardless of stars gets stronger further from spawn, my misunderstanding 🙂

[ornate sigil]

Just the increase chance of a star being added the further from spawn.

Tell you what, a swarm of 1 star greydwarfs is kinda scary.

Nothing on a starless seeker soldier, still scary.

[rotund dust]

My first and only mistlands playthru was with my kids, so i threw them at the soldier, while I attacked it from behind, sure the kids died here and there, but i didnt find them troubling at all 😂

[ornate sigil]

Well, then you have fodder, it's a different game.

[rotund dust]

Yeah, have 2 worlds active atm, one is with the kids, (up to mountains) and solo world, Plains (have found yag vegvisir) just doing final touchups, so will experience mist solo very soon

[ornate sigil]

In the case of the server I recently joined, I'm the fodded(the polite term is tank).

[rotund dust]

Its actually easier playing solo, than with 2x children 😂

[ornate sigil]

Between trying to coach them and the increase in damage monsters do in multi-player, I can only imagine.

[rotund dust]

The resources are like leftovers in the fridge, you think they are there, til you go to get them 😛

[ornate sigil]

You:
"Where did all the ore go..."
Kids: "we made a billion level 1 swords"

Ya, I can see that happening

[rotund dust]

It'd be fine if they helped mine the ore

[ornate sigil]

Nope, no patience for anything that isn't immediately fun.

I get that way on occasion, and devcommand what I need.

[rotund dust]

Our first experience before cloaks/chest pieces in mountain, we had 2 frost pots each, the boy used his, died to a stone golem, then came back thru portal repopped it, fought stone golem for 10 minutes, never killed it, then sat at base asking when he gets silver 😂

[ornate sigil]

"I did the thing! Where's my stuff?"

[rotund dust]

We made him carry the cart FULL of Silver along the mountain and home, think it took him 7 hours... He learnt his lesson XD

[runic elm]

🍿

[ornate sigil]

Ya, the "if you want it, you earn it" lesson.

[runic elm]

Man this is entertaining I’ve been listening to this lol

[rotund dust]

Yeah now whenever i need anything, hes off to get it for me 😂

[ornate sigil]

Oooh, a little helper now.

I'm kinda that way on the server. If I see we are missing a upgrade for a bench or low on food and it's a lul in our shenanigans, I'll see about fixing things up.

[serene talon]

thanks this might come in handy in my multiplayer world...

[rotund dust]

Its much easier to split it into two carts, as then it can move, he had to flatten his whole path

[runic elm]

I just spent four hours trying to get everyone on and waiting and finally did and my friends didn’t like valheim…

[rotund dust]

I find it easier half the time to do it myself, but if you teach them that in games and real life, they become useless.

[rotund dust]

I find the biggest issue, is getting everyone on at same time these days...

[serene talon]

yeah but i mean as punishment

[shy marlin]

Adulting CM

[runic elm]

Oh yeah most definitely

[rotund dust]

Yeah, between work, partners, children and life, not much time that all lines up for gaming

[ornate sigil]

when the stars align

[rotund dust]

But when it does line up, of thats the best of times!

[runic elm]

Yep it sucks but yk it’s worth it

[brisk dew]

How do I unlock building blocks?

Can only make wood atm, but cant even make wooden wall with window

[grand ravine]

find new materials. after you get into swamps, you can start building with stone

[brisk dew]

ohh okay, thanks 😄

[terse flare]

y'all think no build cost in a not really vanilla world is cheating?

getting tar is hard lol I got smacked by 4 black slime and no idea how to get closer

[keen cloud]

Aggro fullings or loxes to fight em

Use a bow

[terse flare]

make them fight?

[keen cloud]

Yes

[terse flare]

I did notice a fuling running into me while I was running away but chose to ignore me for some reason and fought them lol

[keen cloud]

Or use the abomination head piece which give poison resistance

[terse flare]

that removes the slow they affect you too?

[keen cloud]

Make u resistant against poison

Think u are still slowed

[terse flare]

got it

[silk arrow]

Holy crap fader is hard.

[sick cedar]

Can someone get me the voice of Yagluth going WA ZOO (meteor attack)
I need this inside joke to become more stupid

[silk arrow]

I'm maxed out on weapons and everything and can't get him down to 3/4 health.

[keen cloud]

Check a youtube guide for defeating him

[silk arrow]

Yeah I've looked some stuff up. I summon a troll, but either the troll dies super fast or it doesn't attack fader. Fader also just leaves, like he'll wander away and get far enough out of range for the boss fight, it's ridiculous. I'm like chasing after him so he doesn't regen.

[jagged wind]

U can snipe em from a high platform.. usually using silver arrows, but needle works too.. or just aggro big mobs on them

Also saw a video where guy was jumping them with daggers

[keen cloud]

Depends what u wanna build i use it rn to finish the mansion i started somewhere in plains between 2 mistlands bioms

Need space and there s so much things to farm for in game and very bit of time since i work a lot

[fervent minnow]

valheim

[terse flare]

yeah im on that border since I turned on portals allowing ore transfer after spending 20+ hours farming and transporting copper

[fossil venture]

Huh, leather armor isnt popping up in the work bench for some reason. The workbench is level 2.

[tepid pike]

you've killed deer right?

[fossil venture]

Yeah

Well, no only boar

But same leather right?

[tepid pike]

you need deer hide to make leather armour

[fossil venture]

Aha theres a difference, thank you.

[tepid pike]

no worries 😄

i was confused by that at first too

[fossil venture]

My second run so im kinda new. The last safe got corrupted early.

[tepid pike]

ah rip the first one .. sorry to hear that .. hope this one is fun for you

[fossil venture]

Yeah fresh slate is awesome

[fair cairn]

boar drop leather scraps and deer drop leather

[fossil venture]

Cant I combine scraps to get leather?

[tepid pike]

you might find the wiki super helpful .. there's loads of useful information on there

no, leather scraps are used for other things

[fair cairn]

that would be cool but no

[gray sand]

I'm against combining, but being able to break leather down into scraps would make sense imo.

[fair cairn]

yea in hindsight combining them would be bad cause you could then just farm them but making scraps would actually be great

[fossil venture]

Will I spoil something for myself if I search up how to unlock eitr?

[merry pebble]

yes, its 5 biomes ahead of you

[fossil venture]

damn

Welp, dark forest is the first step ig

[merry pebble]

indeed 🙂

[fossil venture]

I have full leather armor and a base, im pretty proud tbh

You recommend anything else for my journey in the dark forest?

[merry pebble]

a club will be your friend while exploring there 🙂

[fossil venture]

A club?

Above a flint spear?

[merry pebble]

yes, spear can be kinda hard to get hang of as a begginer, club will make exploring certain things in BF easier

[fossil venture]

True, that range keeps confusing me

Like the first hit hits but then I miss like 4 times.

[merry pebble]

its also good to have a round shield and a bow

[fair cairn]

spear also requires you to actually aim most of the time

the club is straigtfoward see enemy, beat enemy to death

[fossil venture]

Alrighty

[olive adder]

anyone trynba play

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[fossil venture]

Yessir just killed my first troll

[gray sand]

Poor troll... just out there trying to live his best life 😦

[terse flare]

is there anyway to just start demolishing trees rocks etc ? or whats the most efficient way? I'm trying to build my main base in black forest with a lake in the middle

[gray sand]

Trees? -Axe
Rocks? -Pick

[merry pebble]

chop and pick, you can get help from trolls or you can summon elder if the altar is close

[shut mango]

he didnt do nun 😔

[serene talon]

living his life intervening with industrial progress wich he doesnt even understand

[terse flare]

I found it i reddit

[fossil venture]

Finally got the full troll set.

[fair cairn]

now to upgrade it as high as you can

[old flint]

LOL I actually just beat the queen and died to a seeker afterwards

[misty sun]

I like this loophole, but does it make sense that in a player based raid scenario that I can kill a boss, and not pick-up the boss items, and as a result not push the Raids to the next tier, but still get access to the Trader's revised stock from the Boss kill?

[thorny lagoon]

100 hours in to Valheim and alt-tabbing back into the game, mistakenly swung my Mistwalker once and clapped my yule tree 😠 thought about using devcommand for the first time to spawn one, can't see it as an option?

[misty sun]

Just change the date/time on your PC to a window where Yule is available to build.

[thorny lagoon]

will try just that, thanks

[misty sun]

change it before you login to the world, it won't live update build stock.

[old flint]

How to fight lava blobs??

[gray sand]

They kill themselves. You don't have to fight them.

[distant field]

Run at them then run away.

[flat cedar]

can someone one help me, im new to this game and i have flint weapons so far and there is a troll it already chased me but i got away do i have a chance of killing it if i try??

[livid widget]

Flint arrows, dodge roll when it swings at you

[distant field]

A chance yes.

[old flint]

morgen is harder than queen

[burnt glen]

morgen is easier to deal with than the charred warrior

[wild gyro]

is it me or is magic beyond garbo in this game?

[nocturne pasture]

Hello. Where can I seek advice about hosting a dedicated (always running) server?

[gray sand]

It is you.

[fair cairn]

#dedicated-server i beleive

[nocturne pasture]

ye. thanks

[wild gyro]

How much eitr do you spend to kill a single charred with one of the staves?

[gray sand]

Depends on your skill level.
You'd also have to ask a mage person. But full mages seem to be absolutely wrecking through Ashlands due to the sheer damage and aoe output.

[wild gyro]

Skill level.. hmm. I wonder at what level it becomes useful.

[fair cairn]

the problem with magic is by the time you have it all your skills are likely int he 70's and then here you get magic at 0

[gray sand]

Same can be said for Arbalests.

[gray sand]

What's your food?

[wild gyro]

Ygg porridge and seeker aspic, third one would usually be a high HP food

I'm not complaining about my eitr, but more about the damage output

I guess I need to level it up

[gray sand]

Just about leveling 🤷‍♂️

[wild gyro]

I wish they added a secondary ability, would've been sweet

[gray sand]

Meh.

Not needed.

[burnt glen]

I agree in that it's not fun, but it's very powerful.

[rough jewel]

hello

[azure yacht]

And it's balanced around level 0

So there's no "problem" anywhere...

[small totem]

Hey

[serene talon]

hello

[azure yacht]

If magic was available earlier, then mistlands and ashlands enemies would have to be balanced around that.

I'm sure everyone would love much stronger mistlands and ashlands enemies.

Coughs in warriors dealing +150 damage per hit as of now

[serene talon]

i find the later addition of "as of now" funny

[fair cairn]

mmaybe i should phrase it like this, everything at level 60 or 70, then you get magic which is level 0, and is balanced but becouse its at level 0 it makes you feel like its weak cause of your skill levels having sucha big gap

Why isn't this falling down?

[merry pebble]

you might wanna post it in screenshots 😄

[gray sand]

Danger link is dangerous.

[peak condor]

It's just a screenshot, not sure why it posted it as image.png lol

[fair cairn]

ya cant post screenshots here

gotta be in #screenshots

[peak condor]

Aha, but still.. why isn't it falling 😄

It's in there, but slow mode

[gray sand]

Why would it fall?

[peak condor]

Because gravity? Nothing is holding it up

[gray sand]

First time playing Valheim?

[peak condor]

It happened with a big tall rock

[gray sand]

So?

[warm sandal]

ooooh...wait till you see floating silver veins 😄 reminds me...gotta go up there and pop it ... first silver for that character 😄 looking forward to shiny new toys

[serene talon]

sadly still bonemass between me and the shiny stuff

[warm sandal]

killed him this morning between 6:07 and 6:09 and a second time between 6:10 and 6:12 because i forgot to bring 20 Bones had to jump home to get more 😄

[serene talon]

he just needs 10 bones or did they change it

[peak condor]

I will skip asking for help if it has to be so condescending sounding

[warm sandal]

yeah he needs 10 bones but i wanted to kill him twice so 20 bones

brought only 10 so had to go home get another 10

[fair cairn]

i guess the second one was for the base trophy

[warm sandal]

jupp wanna hang him on the roof 😄

elder gets to be hung above the mantle because he talks 😄

[peak condor]

That actually freaked me out the first time haha

[warm sandal]

i wish they would make all of them talk and give them some different lines to say too... that would be so awesome

[peak condor]

Whoohoo! it collapsed 😄

[warm sandal]

isn't that fun`? 😄

[peak condor]

very satisfying

[pliant hatch]

Bonemass talks too.

[warm sandal]

i never heard him talked in all the over 2000h i was playing that game 😦 how very very sad 😦

[merry pebble]

every boss talks 😉

[warm sandal]

i only heard the elder ever talk none of the others i ever heard talking 😦

weeeelll "read" talking technically

[merry pebble]

yeah 😄

[warm sandal]

weeeeel i should h ang them all in the living room to see what they have to say

[austere belfry]

I do find it disappointing magic comes much later, same with the xbow

[hushed knoll]

dude I have finally gotten around to trying some Mistlands out and it's so confused. It's so terrible. It's like the worst parts of Valheim put into one Biome.

[warm sandal]

I actually like the mistlands a lot 😄 Plains is favorite and second is mistlands 😄 so beautiful 😄

[hushed knoll]

Really? even though you can not see anything at all ?

[distant field]

Terrain features don’t always work in the same way as stuff you build. It won’t necessarily collapse when unsupported. Some things do. Others kinda slide and fall. Some just float.

[warm sandal]

i can see... i use the whisplight and there are stretches where there is no mist... i mark them on the map and if i get lots of mobs i go there and fight them there

it took some getting used to the first time but now i like it a lot

i also mark out some paths i often walk with whisptorches you can see them glow in the mist and that helps not getting lost 😄

[azure yacht]

Better wording yes.

The problem is not the skills themselves, it's people thinking it's weak because everything else is higher.

Are they forgetting that magic is the most broken playstyle in the whole game despite the initial low levels?

[warm sandal]

// now working on my japanese learning so that i can go play some after 😄

[merry pebble]

you dont even have to mark them 😄 places without mist are really dark on the map, and with mist are purple-ish

[gray sand]

Kill Yagluth first. Then you can see.

[hushed knoll]

it's just a slightly zone i can see it's so stupid

[gray sand]

In your opinion 🤷‍♂️

[merry pebble]

so you would like mistlands... without mist?

[gray sand]

||Also you can build torches to keep the mist cleared in a larger area...||

[warm sandal]

I think each biome has it's unique challenges and i like it that way... everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, but for me it is fine the way it is, if i would not like it I would go play something else 😄

[warm sandal]

never noticed that - will keep it in mind but usually it is easier for me to see the marks on the minimap and head that direction 😄

[merry pebble]

yeah, i only realized that few days ago when i have got into mistlands again 😄

[warm sandal]

with me getting lost with a map on it is just so much easier to have clear markings... if i need to go places i will ping the map for myself as not to loose direction so much and run in circles 😄

[wild gyro]

V rising did it better

fr fr

[pliant hatch]

So why not play V rising instead?

[ember kraken]

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of mistlands myself so far. I even did a run with a mod to disable the entire mist, and I still didn't like it. :-/

[wild gyro]

Already did, it was better

[gray sand]

So go back.

[warm sandal]

Well then go back to it?

[pliant hatch]

What I mean is, if you think it's better, don't play Valheim, but play V rising instead.

[wild gyro]

why can't I play both?

[pulsar mortar]

Mistlands are weird, I both like it and not. Main problem is that we act like rabbits on heroine all the time. And without seed maps finishng it would be a chore. Still I enjoyed it, cool biome, armor is a meh style, weapons are fun and that's it

[warm sandal]

ugg 600 stone and 57 silver ore... 😄 need to get building some awesome stone stuff 😄

[gray sand]

If only Black Marble game in the same abundance 😭

[livid widget]

v rising did what better?

I think they could tone down the mist by making it a little more transluscent so you could at least see rough outlines of things

[brisk dew]

When you die and lose skill experience, can you delevel?
or does it only go down to 0xp from the current lvl

[livid widget]

There aren't levels, but you lose 5% to all skills

Unless by level you meant skill level

[brisk dew]

That doesnt really make sense
yeah that was what i meant 😄

[warm sandal]

actually it does

[livid widget]

Sorry I kinda misread your msg

So yes, you lose 5% on death.

[warm sandal]

you got running at lvl 100 you die you go down to lvl 95 -> 5% of 100

[livid widget]

I think there are modifiers for that if I recall

[warm sandal]

yeah that too.. you can lessen what you loose with the modifiers ... i never do it so i am not quite sure about how much... i think you can make it so you loose none at all

[restive silo]

||can you use black marble to build over lava?||

[serene talon]

||no, only flametal doesn't get destroyed by lava||

||once you have built a framework from flametal pillars above the lava then you can use anything||

[gray sand]

Why are we blacking out stuff about fully released content?

[restive silo]

figured it might be new to somebody, it was new to me?

just got to Ashlands recently

[serene talon]

some people might still be expieriencing it

[gray sand]

The Ashlands has lava. You can use flametal to build on it.
The other new building materials are grausten and ashwood.

There are also charred, asksvin, morgen, and fallen valkyrie.

[serene talon]

and i know what it feels like to be spoilered ahem... ashlands boss

[gray sand]

The new mechanic is constantly not having stamina due to fighting fortresses. 😉

[craggy whale]

bruh

[gray sand]

Darth Vader was added to the game and he chokes you

[craggy whale]

👎

[serene talon]

final boss is elmo

[gray sand]

Love it.

Elmo with a giant hammer.

[warm sandal]

and here i was thinking the seventh boss was moders divorced husband 😄 he is still angry about the divorce it seems 😄

[distant field]

I believe it’s called being considerate of others. 😜

[gray sand]

Been out for 2 months. We are well past needing to block things out. 🤷‍♂️

[distant field]

Oh, btw, I’m working on an addition to your food Google Sheet - shall I PM you a link when I have it done?

[gray sand]

What kind of addition?

[distant field]

An additional page that allows one to answer the question “I have lots of X, what can I make with it?” more easily.

[gray sand]

Don't need a pm.

If it helps you to know such, that's a great resource.

Not something I would add to my sheet though 🤷‍♂️

[distant field]

Ok. I just figured it’s something others would find useful.

[gray sand]

To clarify: all 3 sheets I have pinned aren't actually for anyone.

They are my personal sheets that I use for me, and they were good enough info that I sent them to Scarlet for if she felt like adding them to her list.
But I didn't make them for anyone else, nor do I update them for anyone else.

No offense is intended by the above statement.

[vocal rivet]

Surely the question should be "I have too much X, what else should I be gathering?"

[distant field]

That’s cool. I’ll just share it seperately.

[distant field]

It will answer that question too.

[vocal rivet]

Hm.

[gray sand]

For me, that question is answered in the recipes tab of the current sheet. You just look for what all X is used in.

Same tab is where you find you can just always cook Deer, Serpent, Fish, and Bonemaw meats as the raw version are never used.

[distant field]

Yeah, I’m just formatting the data a little differently so that you can see that information more quickly.

[warm sandal]

yay... onion seeds 😄 happy me

[drowsy magnet]

!onions

Onions are like pineapples. They belong on a pizza.

[azure yacht]

That's why I put watermelons on pizza

[ornate sigil]

Pomegranate.

[gray sand]

Enable ashlands mechanics in all biomes.
Build out of wood.
Place fire indoors.

Baked light textures in your baked building 😉

[vocal rivet]

Um, OK?

[gray sand]

[uneven panther]

I want to play Valheim with a mod, can you recommend a mod site?

[distant field]

#mods-discussion

[wooden hare]

is there a way to rename characters?

[austere belfry]

cart full of silver and dragon eggs flip rolled down an entire mountain side and survived

[grand ravine]

hmm.. why haul dragon eggs...?

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe there isn’t enough near Moder?

[grand ravine]

is that a thing that happens?

[vocal rivet]

RNG be RNG.

[robust delta]

hear me out tho
they're very baller

[robust delta]

i love doing that

[grand ravine]

hmm. well iguess so, just never seen moder with no eggs near

[robust delta]

sometimes it's intentional to see how much the cart loves me, and 99% othertimes accidents :p

[sharp raptor]

If you have a stone portal its pretty easy to bring eggs from base for multiple summons even as a solo

[robust delta]

only found two nests on my moder, tho i visited other mountain at that point in search of mody so i just had to haul from ship.
the mountain was way too steep to cart tho 😢

[grand ravine]

🤔 why not just throw them in a box and wait for more to spawn..?

[vocal rivet]

Most people don't at the Mountains stage.

[robust delta]

but i'd be boxed in so i don't think i wood'nt

[austere belfry]

it was a happy accident

cart was clinging to life by a thread

[robust delta]

yippee

it's very mesmerizing watching little man go though

[ornate sigil]

but is it as fun as making and sailing a longship down a mountain?

[robust delta]

i need to try that

[ornate sigil]

😋

[robust delta]

however, i have done made a levitating boat

[ornate sigil]

wing-gardian -levibota?

[robust delta]

i made a boat and have the body fall through, but the sail top part caught on the wood platforms i put 'round, so now it just hangs there. wish i could more freely swing it though

i also died to my windmill that day, learned you can die to it, and learned that boat vs powerful windmill leads to funny moments

i also got 2 rafts sitting on top of my roof. they cover/shelter the cartography table on top

[ornate sigil]

you sound like the type who would like a certain other game...garry's mod.

but ya, some people recommend windmills for a plains base because they shred skeeters.

[brisk dew]

Does a base decompose over time?

Feels like my base is falling apart at random places

[ornate sigil]

what type of building pieces? wood, stone, metal?

[brisk dew]

ohh ye, wood 😄

[ornate sigil]

wood does take damage (up to half its hp) from rain or waves if you live near the ocean.

[brisk dew]

Ohh okay, so it doesn't break completely 😄

[ornate sigil]

yep

[brisk dew]

Thanks 😄

[ornate sigil]

just looks a little different and is easier to break by accident/mobs.

[brisk dew]

What is a good way to get flint, besides going along the shoreline?

[vocal rivet]

That's pretty much the only way to do it.

[brisk dew]

ohh okay, do they respawn, or do I at some point need to cross the earth to find a few flint? xD

[vocal rivet]

They do respawn after 4 hours, yes. You certainly wouldn't need to cross the world (not the Earth of course) to get the small amount of flint you need.

[ember kraken]

They do respawn, but honestly there's a limit to how much you need.

[vocal rivet]

The only thing you really need with flint are two of the workbench upgrades, the rest is entirely optional.

[ornate sigil]

unless you are making a ton of arrows, you wont need much and will grow out of the flint(stone) age quickly.

[tall sundial]

without any spoilers how many bosses?

7 right?

[ornate sigil]

the stones at the start would tell you, but yes 7 currently.

[tall sundial]

okay thanks just wanted to make sure!

[rotund dust]

Almost time I can play games! Logged out on top of a Sealed tower yesterday, won the jumping/building challenge.. Excited to see what is inside! (First time)

[grand ravine]

do you have a portal nearby?

those things are nuts. and the raid it unlocks is nuts too.

fwiw, the little protruding balcony things (...what is the proper word for those? its bugging me now) can be built on. anything technically outside the tower wall. structure placement hitboxes are a little funky, but. yeah.

[ebon siren]

does movement speed buffs (fenris armor) affect swim speed? i think it does but im not sure

[lyric olive]

What happens if you take a different boat into the ashlands? does it just instantly get destroyed or?

[ornate sigil]

the water is a DOT effect

unless you have a lot of wood and repair often, you wont make it to the shore.

you also get a warning from hugin if you attempt it.

[tepid prawn]

not instantly but rather fast

I also don't know if the dot gets stronger the longer the boat is in, someone said that in the ptr when Ashlands was first releases but I never checked up on that

[tepid prawn]

you can do it, it's possible, your boat will most likely be destroyed, with some VERY short swim stints between the spikes and some gliding between them with feather cape its doable, but also possible that you take too much heat damage in the water and not make it to the next spire, it is certainly a gamble and the first approach could theorhetically be done with longboat and moder power (karve might not get to spire due to lower HP, it all depends)

[merry pebble]

I believe Its based on distance rather than time, meaning that the further into the ashlands red water you are the more dmg your boat takes, ať least thats what it felt like when i tried it in ptb (i forgot about Queens drop 😛)

[tepid prawn]

sounds plausible

[azure yacht]

It should

I've used fader's power + fenris set + asksvin cape and I think i noticed increased speed.

Or probably the difference was from asksvin cape alone

[azure yacht]

It gets stronger the closer to shore up to 30 damage per tick

[distant field]

A question about golem spawns - I know there are rare one-time spawns near cabins, but the recurring spawns also seem to often be near stone structures - is this coincidence?

[tepid prawn]

that is reasonably well known for them to spawn near cabins, silver is also often nearby where they spawn

[distant field]

Silver was going to be my follow up question!

[tepid prawn]

stone structures I m not so sure personally, I wouldn't be able to confirm that from my experience

[distant field]

Also, do they tend to respawn in the same location? Or will it be just same general area?

And roughly how frequent are the respawns?

[tepid prawn]

if its not exactly the same (which it might be) it is very very close

oh in terms of time I think I had one respawn a few seconds after previous one was killed, less than 10s 😛
