[austere belfry]

i left a silver vein exposed whil scouting the mountains, and had a golem spawn in the same spot near it 4 times

[vocal rivet]

The one time spawners are only at log cabins (and only 3 of the variations, too).

[austere belfry]

so definitely silver

[vocal rivet]

Zone spawns are RNG and not related to anything else (except y'know, being in Mountains). The spawn interval is 2 minutes.

[tepid prawn]

the one time spawners you can also see the golem on the ground before it becomes alive

[distant field]

Is that only for the one timers?

[tepid prawn]

not sure about that if you can see the other ones too

[distant field]

Huh, so it is coincidence if they spawn in the same location?

[vocal rivet]

Zone spawns don't have physical manifestations, no.

Of course. Like all mobs.

[distant field]

How big are the zones?

[vocal rivet]

The only reason sometimes it seems as though they always spawn in the same place is when a zone spawner has very strict spawn requirements that are hard to meet which means only few locations are actually legal.

[vocal rivet]

64m x 64m.

[distant field]

I see. And I assume they like won’t spawn on steep slopes or in buildings, so if a building is within a spawn zone and there are steep slopes then the likelihood is the golem will spawn by the building?

[vocal rivet]

Hm, actually stone golems don't seem to actually have an angle limit.

[distant field]

Thanks all. I think that explains what I’ve observed and has confirmed that it’s worth my while marking spawn locations. Though I also now know I need to remove the couple I have marked, because they both had the head there before it woke.

[tepid prawn]

Also just saying a) They are super easy with Iron Mace and a buckler, parry them and absolutely destroy them b) If they spawn too often you can dig a hole and put them in it, stopping more from spawning c) The trophies (very rare) are stunningly beautiful and the crystal is very cool for building and need it for a weapon if you want that one d) Trapped ones in a hole have a use in a later biome 🙂

[distant field]

Interesting. They avoid steep slopes when moving though, right?

[vocal rivet]

I don't know much about their AI to be honest.

[tepid prawn]

I have them climb quite steep slopes at times, not the max steepness maybe but impressively so

[distant field]

I just Root Ripper them from a distance. 😁

[distant field]

Haha, well I was going off what it says in the Wiki! 😜🤣

[tepid prawn]

well thats not a thing to do in the mountain when you first get there 😛

[vocal rivet]

Then it's probably correct.

[distant field]

Yeah, I’m working on a mountain build, so was hunting them for crystal, and that got me curious about their spawn behaviours.

[tepid prawn]

I did build a mountain fortress too this play through, I did end up trapping one, just for ele magic reasons mostly

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones if you want to know more than you ever wanted to about zone spawning.

[tepid prawn]

where it gets interesting is fighting at the border of 2 zones, double the fun haha

[vocal rivet]

The distance limits stops that being TOO ridiculous.

[distant field]

Mine’s just a small lodge…

#building-screenshots message

[tepid prawn]

Mine is not fully finished yet and I don't know if I have a screenie, but 2 towers, a main building, build on a hill at the very top of a quite tall mountain, flattened an area around there and its spread across 3 sightly different elevations

[distant field]

Sounds great!

[grand ravine]

🤔 expound on d? something avout ele magic?

[tepid prawn]

||Frost staff attacking a golem is best leveling, just build something above the area so you can always be rested and fire away until your ele magic is as high as you'd like||

[grand ravine]

I've ||raised ground on and around two draugr body piles in meadows for ez levels.|| totally needed since i got into ashlands.. >.>

works with ice but im careful to avoid aoe weapons

[tepid prawn]

stone golem works better, is 100% immune to frost damage, just need one golem i a hole and you're set

[rotund dust]

Yeah put a portal on top of the Tower, thanks for spoiling it unlocks a raid xD

[grand ravine]

:x sorry

[rotund dust]

Its alright, you put the fear of god into me, haven't even beat Moder yet, so think I'll just leave my portal on top, and attempt later 😛

[grand ravine]

ohhhhh. yeah i recommend plains/ml gear before doing hildir's mountain and plains boxes

[rotund dust]

Ah so other one is in mountains, I sort of guessed that tho by the name 😛

[grand ravine]

doh!

have you done the first box yet?

it took me forever to find hildir, was into ml already

[rotund dust]

Havent done any, was thinking, the third one was Ashlands, "Smouldering Tomb" (Dont tell me otherwise 😂)

#screenshots
Is my current map

I like exploring, as opposed to rushing each land 😛

[grand ravine]

ahhh, that island you're on now looks like great luck

bosses all lined up in a row for ya

[rotund dust]

Ikr, when i stumbled across the vegvisirs, I was just like, okay, detour that way, cos i was exploring west first

[grand ravine]

yeah for sure. very neat

[rotund dust]

People always say, Yag/Moder Vegvisirs can be hard to find, so it makes me wonder, if they just rush each land.

[distant field]

Yag vegvisirs are genuinely rare.

[rotund dust]

Ive found about 5, (two different locations)

[grand ravine]

i have seen maybe 2 yag vegvisirs ever. so yeah you got lucky

[distant field]

Yep, that’s extremely lucky.

[rotund dust]

Curious, do you guys clear every tower/village etc when exploring plains? Or zoomby

[grand ravine]

if i have gear for it i take em out. if not i mark it and come back. always want to get those totems and blackmetal scraps, always.

[rotund dust]

Got 25 totems, and 900 Blackmetal so far 😂

I really should kill Moder

[grand ravine]

oh not baddddd. my friend and i discovered a little late that if you destroy the little totem stands before you pick it up, it poofs. so it took us a while to be able to go back for round 2 with yag.

i also might go through blackmetal like mad. never can have enough of that stuff.

also tar.

[rotund dust]

OH Tar pits are fun, i quite enjoy them, but the growths themselves waste my mountains gear 😦
I normally have to pull a lox to the pit, to be able to do it

[grand ravine]

used a whole blackmetal chest of tar just to put up my current roof -.-

[distant field]

Sidestep/strafe is your friend.

[rotund dust]

Yeah but hit once, and screwed

[grand ravine]

i use fire arrows on them. with a poison pot they're manageable

[rotund dust]

Must be a big roof! 😄
Im still using my initial 4x4 base

Was contemplating putting on the Root Mask

[grand ravine]

it is ...large. yes.

[rotund dust]

But then I lose movement speed/fire resistance right?

[grand ravine]

ehhh, poison pot gives more resistance, and then you can wear more armour too

i use root mask for iron farming, but for bonemass or tar, poison pots

[distant field]

I recently converted some of the roof on our base to shingles. I lost track of how much tar I used. Partly because I was also putting in beams and poles and arches as well.

I drained multiple pits in the process though.

And now I need more for my mountain lodge.

[grand ravine]

yeah, tar stuff is just so nice lookin. but generally, i use enough just for blackmetal boxes that i feel it's a waste to pass up a pit without atleast marking it and going back later

[distant field]

Yep, I always mark them when I see them. Trouble is I’ve drained all the ones I have marked. So I’m going to need to cover new ground.

[grand ravine]

i ended up starting a new world on the side just for iron and tar. and now flametal/gems.

[distant field]

I am resisting doing that.

[plush umbra]

Hello, Will Valheim have continuations of new biomes after Ashlands?

[grand ravine]

imean if your goal is a playthrough, you shouldn't need to. but my friend and i have been trying to set this up as a developed starting/training/boss world, so we want it basically stocked with mats

[distant field]

There will be one more given content - Deep North - and the Ocean biome may get more content. But that’ll be it. As I understand it.

[grand ravine]

and we've basically ended up making/testing every piece of gear as we go, etc

[distant field]

I see.

[grand ravine]

i also tend to die a lot (lol) so ive made a couple sets of gear at several tiers

multiple fenris sets was a grind..

but i really love it. fenris+ashen cape is the winner.

[rotund dust]

Youre implying I'm going to be in Fenris set, for the rest of the game? zzz

[austere belfry]

wish i knew earlier that the draugr bow destroys wraiths

[tepid prawn]

thats only enough for 150 chests, my warehouses usually have about 32 chests minimum in each, then also need all the bases to have lots of bm chests, your armory and larder needs bm chests, the bakery does...

[rotund dust]

Im a simple man, with a simple base.
#screenshots

[grand ravine]

lol not realllyyyy, but, once i got other gear to supplement the lack of armour...i went back to zipping around in it when I'm not doing something damage intensive.

[rotund dust]

Ah, thats a relief, I almost lost hype for new armors being shit then! I shall wear the new stuff 😛

[grand ravine]

plus 115 blackmetal for each pickaxe..

[rotund dust]

Each? 1 Viking needs 1 pickaxe 😂

[grand ravine]

false. :p

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

[rotund dust]

I meant one of each tier 😛

[grand ravine]

and then my alt needed 2. and then my oter alt neded 2.

imeannnn, you dont NEED morehan one, but, when im at iron i carry 2 or 3 into a crypt or mountains so i can clear it without leaving for repairs.

[rotund dust]

True, i just throw a portal up and repair as needed

[grand ravine]

either way works iguess. i just dont like going back and forth more than necessary

if i was trying to conserve iron i would only make one i suppose

but i do like having a backup blackmetal pick. i do die a lot..

[rotund dust]

Yeah i try not to die, i went from 70 to 60 sword skill in mere minutes, and since then, i play more safely 😂

[grand ravine]

around when i hit ashlands i went from almost 90 run to ithink 20......

[rotund dust]

OOF its that bad? 😮

[grand ravine]

it's so much fun XD

but yes. it's chaos.

in particular, it's different, and ive had to adjust my run-and-gun playstyle

[rotund dust]

I look forward to it...

Im more a slow walk, thru the biome, banging a drum, encouraging everything to fight me sort of guy 😂
Ashlands shall be glorious

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[rotund dust]

From what i hear tho, by time i get there it'll be nerfed and manageable anyways... 😦

[grand ravine]

tbh i don't think its going to get nerfed that hard. so you'll still die a lot, don't worry. 😎

[rotund dust]

For the people saying its too hard (And im saying this without any experience at all) just turn down youre difficulty to baby mode 😂

[grand ravine]

anyway, you're almost ready to fight yag from the sound of it, so you very well may beat the nerf

[rotund dust]

Gotta do Moder first 😂

[grand ravine]

oh it's not so much the combat difficulty. imean yes, but also no. idk how much to say lawlll

[hidden gorge]

I mean, I guess some people consider snails glorious... hasn't really been my experience so far tho

[grand ravine]

also combat difficulty, i don't think is getting a nerf

(?)

[rotund dust]

Something about spawnrates is all i read when people were tlaking about it, but didnt read much as didnt wanna learn too much haa

[grand ravine]

snail mode sounds reasonable in ashlands. or, turtle mode. i might leave the drum at home though...

[azure yacht]

Are you assuming that people would solve their own problems with the means that are very explicitly at their disposal instead of whining and crying about it for others to solve those problems for them?

That's very bold of you

[rotund dust]

True, not in this day and age of whine about everything

[grand ravine]

yeah, that's the long and short of it. i havent tried pbt but i think the changes will probably be ok, the numbers don't look like a flip to ez mode to me? donno

[tepid prawn]

I fully agree with easy mode or every easy for people who struggle etc and hard mode for those who don't. It seems to okay in Ashlands now, might get some more changes before it goes live I dunno. Been on the PTB again for the last few days and I die a lot less but I still die. I probably die the same amount as in Mistlands, maybe a little more often which should be expected. RNG also plays a very big role, some Ashlands just have some quirks that make them a bit harder, took me ages to find my first POI for instance, had to traverse quite far.

[carmine kestrel]

I have a couple of questions, if anyone is here.

[grand ravine]

idk if anyone is here. but, shoot

[hidden gorge]

can confirm; nobody is here

[ornate sigil]

I have not hear of either of these people, "nobody" and "anyone", who are they?😋

[grand ravine]

no one. or anybody. depends on who you ask.

[carmine kestrel]

XD sorry I was typing elsewhere, since I wasn't sure

Do the berries and mushrooms respawn for one?

Another question would be can you turn options in a world off and on without penalties? Like the No Building Material Rule.

[ornate sigil]

so long as you don't destroy the bush, yes for berries. red mushrooms definately regrow. I dont think yellow do.

[grand ravine]

yes. berry bushes do not however. but if the bush is intact, then yes.

right, yellow mushies are one-shot

[grand ravine]

correct.

[carmine kestrel]

How many days does it take for the berry bushes to replenish? Any ball park idea?

[ornate sigil]

seeks the wise words of wiki....

[carmine kestrel]

T.T I would but it isn't loading for me atm @ornate sigil I think my connection is buggy due to a storm here.

[ornate sigil]

"Respawn after 300 minutes" for raspberries according to wiki

[carmine kestrel]

holy cow five hours in real x.x

[ornate sigil]

not that bad since there are other things you can do in the mean time. i would imagine 1 run of ore would be close to 5h

especially copper*

[grand ravine]

yeah so you want a berry/mushroom circuit you can run once in a while between other tasks

i have a mushroom in my base, i pick this first then run my berry route. when it respawns i know my circuit is ready to be hit again.

[carmine kestrel]

The reason why I asked about the No Build thing is I want my dining hall ~.~ to have a cooking pot, but there's no forge there. I don't wanna XD mine extras for the extra forge atm.

At least I know they respawn now though ~.~ I was worried that I kind of boned myself, even though my little village has like seven berry bushes.

[grand ravine]

you can put up a forge to place the cauldron, then break the forge and get mats back from it.

[carmine kestrel]

@grand ravine o.o I wish I had thought about that on Monday... I mean the cooking pot is more helpful than the standard cooking thing.

[gray sand]

You will always have to mine more.

[carmine kestrel]

@gray sand I realize that ~.~ but can you blame me for being a little lazy, if I was saving materials for armor?

[grand ravine]

you'll want a lot of copper and tin anyway. if you think you need armour first though, do that before you make a fancy dining hall :p

[gray sand]

Well... considering this is Discord...

I CAN AND I DO!!!

😁

[grand ravine]

stahp being the problemmmmm

[hidden gorge]

you have a problem with people having their own freedom of thought?

[carmine kestrel]

@gray sandXD but still 😛 I built a really nice village >.> 2 huts, a work house with the smelter and kiln behind, a fishing dock, an observation tower, and a cooking house to store food.

I farmed all of the materials for everything else XD

[gray sand]

Your cooking house is only for storing food? 🤔 Where is the actual cooking done then? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[grand ravine]

nono, i

[brisk dew]

So I have the diff turned a bit up and everything seems fine, and I find it a good experience, but a single mob is build like a German tank, the "black bear"
Am I using the wrong weapon or can I somehow turn that mob down?
it 1-3 shots me, and I cant do any damage to it

[carmine kestrel]

@gray sand >.> That's why I want the cooking pot there and a fermentation barrel D:

[gray sand]

There are no bears in this game.

[brisk dew]

Okay, from a mod then, thanks xD
tried to google valheim black bear, and something came up, so thought it was vanilla

[carmine kestrel]

.> are you talking about the Trolls? They sound like bears

[hidden gorge]

you can turn the difficulty back down -- otherwise there's #mods-discussion that may have something of interest to you

[carmine kestrel]

Anyway, >.> are Portals a second boss thing?

[hidden gorge]

not really

[carmine kestrel]

~.~ I already beat the deer, and I can't find an altar for the second one in my main area

[slender tinsel]

best way to kill gooby goblins?

[carmine kestrel]

No portal blueprint though.

[ornate sigil]

portal materials are 3rd boss biome stuff

[hidden gorge]

you gotta explore

[hidden gorge]

not at all

[tepid prawn]

this is incorrect

[ornate sigil]

?

oh, ya the burial chambers

[carmine kestrel]

I don't even see any islands anywhere near my area XD

[hidden gorge]

you technically don't need any bosses for portals

[tepid prawn]

portal materials come from black forest burial chambers, a bronze axe (different type of wood), and greydwarf drops

[carmine kestrel]

I have a bronze axe and I got a couple of greydwarf eyes >.>

???? So I'm missing something from the dungeons x.x?

[tepid prawn]

the burial chambers have a chance to give you the last item, not all chambers have them, some have 0 or 1-2 some can hve 7 or 8

[tepid prawn]

yes the black forest type dungeon, it looks orangey-red the thin you're missing

[carmine kestrel]

.< So it's not the fire stones for the kiln? Ok I know I marked about half a dozen barrows ~.~ I guess I'm dungeon hopping then?@tepid prawn

[grand ravine]

if you have bronze but not portal recipe, then you need to chop more trees

[tepid prawn]

yes it is those surtling cores, same ones, you must be missing the wood from birch or oak trees

[carmine kestrel]

Oaks?

[tepid prawn]

rarer tree type, birch is easier to find

both are in meadows alongside beech trees

[carmine kestrel]

hmm have not seen any oaks ~.~ omg ok ty haha @tepid prawn I need to go murder some trees then ^.^

[ornate sigil]

the whiteish trees are the birch. IMO they look like aspen trees.

[tepid prawn]

if you have not done this you should also chop down pine tree they also give a different type of wood, which means just from meadows and black forest you can unlock 3 different types of wood, wood + 2 others (4th type of wood from trees doesn't unlock until the 6th biome)

[carmine kestrel]

Yeah I don't think they look much like Birch trees either. @ornate sigil

I have Corewood@tepid prawn

I made sure to get some, since I wanted the deer hammer

[hidden gorge]

do y'all even know what birch trees look like?

[carmine kestrel]

I live in NC >.> we have a pretty diverse tree population here

[ornate sigil]

not really, but plenty of aspens where im at in colorado.

[tepid prawn]

the birch I have seen in Germany look very similar to the first google image search of "birch tree" and the Valheim ones match that well enough for the art style imo

[hidden gorge]

aspen and birch do look similar

[carmine kestrel]

There are pine trees, oaks, maples, willow trees, birch trees, and even some trees that are ornamental that aren't from our region

[tepid prawn]

the type of aspen my mom has in her garden looks very different from birch

[carmine kestrel]

.> We even have Palm Trees near the coast of NC ~.~ kind of a melting pot of plant life in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Anyway, Ty for the info. Gotta work on something irl, before I hop onto Valheim.

[brisk dew]

Is there a way to see what the skill level does?
I mean in actual numbers?

[hidden gorge]

the wiki has a breakdown of each skill that I believe has their respective formulae

[brisk dew]

So trying to tame/feed an animal

It says it's hungry, and I have thrown in some food I know it can eat from wiki, but it doesn't eat anything

I'm staying in the back so it isn't frighted

[merry pebble]

Are there hearts comming from the animal?

[brisk dew]

Dont see any, It just keeps running around, and when it stops and stand still, it just stares

[merry pebble]

And what food and animal Is that?

[brisk dew]

It's from a mod, that adds horses, and it eats The blueberries, but I also have a pig in there that doesnt eat it either

[merry pebble]

If Its a boar then be sure you don't have any campfire or torch nearby.

[brisk dew]

Ohh that might be it
had torches around the pen

[merry pebble]

Thats probably the case, if that doesent help then its most likely mods doing some weird stuff

[rotund dust]

Okay, so preparing for Moder, and got a couple of questions! (Dont want any info on Moder itself tho)
Do all meads share the same singular cooldown, and if not, does this mean that Tasty, is Seperate to Stam?
Are Minors/Mediums same CD?

[merry pebble]

Yep each type of mead (Tasty, hp, stam,...) has separate cooldown, if you drink minor mead of one type you have to wait till Its cooldown ends before drinking medium

[rotund dust]

Tyvm 😄

Thought cos Tasty was still a "Stamina" type mead, might of shared, thats good to know...

[merry pebble]

If it has different name, other than the difference in "size" Its separate 🙂

[rotund dust]

Does sleeping increase mead production? Waiting on 3 meads now 😂

[merry pebble]

I believe it does, tho not 100% sure

It will certainly not hurt anything if you do sleep 😁

[rotund dust]

It might cause a raid 😂 I tend to spend as little time at base, as I havent fortified it at all

I got you are being hunted 10 mins ago, so might be safe

[brisk dew]

Ohh also, I'm trying to find "core wood" Wiki said ti find pine in black forest, I have looked for a long time now, is that tree really rare?

[hidden gorge]

hah (you're only safe in the water with that one)

[rotund dust]

No its common as f**k. Really BIG TALL Trees, skinner than Fur

[rotund dust]

Everytime I get it, I run into a fuling village, and sit on a rock 😂

[brisk dew]

Hmm I dont have a single one in my black forrest
Only got Fir

[rotund dust]

They generally abit deeper into the BF... But most have them, you might have a tiny BF :p

[hidden gorge]

no, check nearer the shores

[merry pebble]

Its branches start growing much higher than fir

[rotund dust]

I mean can get it in meadows too, at the cute campfires, with a couple of small sheltered tent type structures 😛

[rotund dust]

If this is your first time playing, the most enjoyable experience you can have, without a doubt, is to enjoy the game, and not wiki everything 😄

[brisk dew]

Ohh yeah, somewhat first time, and normally I would agree with you, it's I dont have tooo much time on my hand, so dont have the complete freedom to explore the game too much 😄

But will ofc try as much as possible

[rotund dust]

My friend said the exact same thing...
"Ukihva — 07/10/2024 8:57 PM
This is nothing but rush, game time is low"
However, that makes it even more magical imo...

Hope you enjoy the game 🙂

[brisk dew]

I do try to keep information out from the game, but if I feel like I have looked everywhere, then I will ask, and couldn't find a tree when searching for 20 min felt like something was wrong xD

ohh yeah, Love it, it's a really beautiful game

[rotund dust]

Will sitting in the ocean spawn a serpent if its nighttime, or have to be active sailing around?
Ran out of Serpent Meat, as i was crafting Moder food ><

[hidden gorge]

I've never had one spawn in while I was just sitting still

[rotund dust]

Alright ty, ive never sat still in ocean, so wouldnt know 😄

[hidden gorge]

yeah, there's not really a reason to (except if you've gone AFK pre-pause feature)

[tepid prawn]

sailing is better as you cover more area even if going in circles or something, best is to have an area that is well known for spawns, once on a server I got really lucky I had between 2-5 spawn in a relatively small area reliably every time I would sail past in night or storm

[rotund dust]

Ah, so if ive fought them there before, then its a "spawn"

I got a place that regularly has 2, so i'll go sail in circles there

if they have spawned previously, will they be there in the day, or disappear like night time creatures

[rotund dust]

Also, just learnt Tasy Mead has no CD?!

[merry pebble]

But quite short duration (tbh i forgot it had no cooldown since i don't use it xD)

[gray sand]

It is uncontested the best mead in the game.

[fair cairn]

i tihnk it only last for like a few seconds

[gray sand]

10s.

[fair cairn]

so a cooldown wouldnt make it usefull

[gray sand]

Health potion says hi. 👋

[fair cairn]

health potion gives health, the tasty mead only boosts your stam regen for 10 seconds

[gray sand]

Yes.
They have pretty much the same mechanic. Massive regen over short duration.

But health pots gets a cool down because of how powerful that is.
Infinite stamina is fine though 😁

[rotund dust]

Nah, Tasty Mead is amazing. Handsdown, going to chug these like water now.

Wish I realised sooner.

[gray sand]

Takes a bit of practice for optimal use, but once you get it down they are the best.

Especially since they stack with Lingering.

[regal mural]

Anyone has a place I can find some good seeds ?

[merry pebble]

try #1202740443352137838 , tho after the hack majority of the seeds is gone

[regal mural]

the hack ?

the discord ?

[merry pebble]

there has been a hijack of the server this january (might be early february? i dont remember exactly) and most of servers was deleted thus their history is gone

no?

yeah, but they are updated even on old worlds, if you didnt explore them too much they will generate just fine

[rotund dust]

Alright, after successfully killing Moder, and having more than enough blackmetal (once smelted) to make stuff, I realised i never set up my plains base earlier... I assume a Moat/Raised Inner Ground will sufficiently protect said crops from attacks, altho, Deathsquitos attack Barley/Wheat that grows?

[merry pebble]

i usually just make a farm in plains, not really a base, i find some little island that is still considered plains and i spawnproof it, that way i dont have to worry about any mobs and even if some somehow could get to it i am not there most of the time since the only thing i need to do is plant stuff and then harvest it few days later, so i dont spend nearly any time there

[rotund dust]

Yeah thats why i figured the moat/raised ground would be sufficient, once the farm is established, just portal there every few days, harvest, replant, move on

[merry pebble]

i didnt even have any wall around the farm in my first playthrough, and it was just fine XD

[ember kraken]

I usually just pick a spot, terraform up a plateau 4+ meters high, make it flat on top, portal, workbench, and plants. Teleport in and out when needed.

[merry pebble]

thats basically what i do on the islands 😄 (tho thats mostly so the farm is not constantly being under waves)

[ember kraken]

I tend to prefer small edges of an island that's plains. Usually find them when out sailing, and just mark it for later, come back and fix up. Usually they're small enough that once you done the above it won't spawn much plains mobs anyways, but with 4+m height it doesn't really matter, and squitos just doesn't hurt any longer.

[rotund dust]

Alright, thats all the info i need, to sufficiently make an appropiate base.
Next question, WITHOUT SPOILING - Are Wooden Missiles/Black Metal Missiles able to be used on items procured in the plains, or are they from a later biome.
I believe I have found EVERY item in the first 5 biomes now. (I dont want to know what they are for, just if i can use em yet) 😄

(just realised aint made flour, or spinning wheel item)

[ember kraken]

No, they're a later biome

[rotund dust]

Thank you 🙂

[vapid gazelle]

Your definitely going to want the spinning wheel that’s a necessity

[rotund dust]

Yeah, killed moder recently, still setting up everything 😉 I skip nothing, should see my map 😂

[vapid gazelle]

I would say the real fun starts once you get to plains, mistlands even more so

[rotund dust]

I beat the queen mistlands first released, my memory is just shite, so its like playing all over again, been such a blast! I remember bits and pieces

[vapid gazelle]

I would say the most fun to be had imo before said biomes would be clearing frost caves, which can be very intense if under geared

[rotund dust]

Yes, they were a pleasant surprise, made the mountains alot more enjoyable! Abominations were also new to me, when i first ran into one, i was very scared

before that mountains biome was get some silver, kill moder move on

[gray sand]

Swamp has Turnips 😉

[fair cairn]

hmm

[rotund dust]

Moved from screenshots to here, since was cluttering.

Red mushroom planting when please?

[merry pebble]

never 🙂

also, turnips and carrots are indeed not that usefull late game, but onions and barley are usefull even in mistlands and ashlands

[rotund dust]

Alright, thats handy to know.
I stopped planting carrots once i had 1000

[merry pebble]

that is most likely more than you will ever need XD

[rotund dust]

Yeah, was wondering if they would work on boars, but then when my first 2* died, i decided EH NOT FOR ME

Cos would be a cheap and easy food source

[merry pebble]

boars eat every crop you can grow up to onions iirc, +berries and red shrooms

[brisk dew]

Can you only make like 1-2 types of storage chests?

[merry pebble]

3

3rd unlocks in plains

[brisk dew]

Know of any mod that adds more/different kinds?
will ask in mod section, was just a quick one 🙂

[merry pebble]

someone in #mods-discussion will surely know 🙂

i dont know any as i dont really like mods

[rotund dust]

Yeah im the same, i feel the game is amazing, and doesnt require mods. Sure some QoL might be handy, but eh, aint game changing. Vanilla all the way

[ember kraken]

At this point, if I have to plant carrots 1 by 1 ever again, I'll rather stop playing the game :p Certain QoL just can't live without.

[vocal rivet]

Eh, it takes less than 5 minutes to plant a 100 carrots. It's not so bad.

[jagged wind]

5 minutes of clicking, thats quite boring

I hate planting my turnips and onions

[vocal rivet]

The entire game is clicking.

[jagged wind]

Some clicking is fun... some is very boring

[vocal rivet]

It's 5 minutes...

[jagged wind]

They should add some aoe planting.. like 6 at once or something

[ember kraken]

I mean if others enjoy that, more the power to them, I don't.

[vocal rivet]

I never said I enjoy it, it's obviously a chore but it's such a little effort that I don't see the issue.

[rotund dust]

I was hoping they would add a seed planter, and you walk up and down cultivated crops, and it drops seeds

[merry pebble]

well you can suggest stuff in #suggestions 🙂

[vocal rivet]

I can't.

[rotund dust]

Nah for now, i just make my kids do it or they are grounded 😂

[gray sand]

That's the neat part.
YOU are the seed planter.
😉

[jagged wind]

Id hire a dvergr for gold to plant it for me

[ember kraken]

I know they're not going to add something like that, and that's fine. It's what mods are for.

[gray sand]

Once you put the reps in, you will instinctively plant with the correct spacing.
So the only thing that will slow you down is your stamina bar.

[jagged wind]

I always mess it up if i plant it too fast

[gray sand]

Put more reps in. You will get faster.

[jagged wind]

Reps?

[rotund dust]

😂

[merry pebble]

*repeats, if you do it over and over again you will eventually get better at it

[jagged wind]

Well.. yea, but i already planted like 1k seeds

[merry pebble]

thats not much tbh...

[jagged wind]

Altho bigger field would might help

So i dont have to be so precise in spacing

[vocal rivet]

Probably planting way more than you need.

[merry pebble]

yeah, i like long rectangles with longer side just big enough to almost empty the stamina bar

[gray sand]

Nonsense. You can never plant enough.

[ember kraken]

All of this talk is making me consider doing that idea I had of a pure hunter/gatherer run. No planting at all.

[merry pebble]

ooof, that would be pain

[keen cloud]

Depends how many times u die on an adventure

[jagged wind]

Eatin serpent meat all day

[gray sand]

No.
Always plant more.

MOAR

[keen cloud]

When im scouting i use yellow mushrooms cloudberries and honey

• the 9% movement from fenrir set

Fastest viking alive(until i die)

[merry pebble]

why not use onion soup and bread? they need only one ingredient, tho bread has to bake

[keen cloud]

Nah that s waste

[merry pebble]

not when you have big enough farm 😄 i have bread for days

[keen cloud]

I hate to plant ,i have to but i hate to do it

[merry pebble]

i find it pretty relaxing 🙂

[keen cloud]

Well i gotta make a farm aswell

I like that u can have chickens in every bioms

[rotund dust]

Do I have to be near a Windmill to make it produce, or can leave it like seeds and it'll do its thing?

[merry pebble]

it will keep working even when you are not there

[gray sand]

You can leave anything other than taming an animal and it will auto-update on your return.

[rotund dust]

So from what i can tell, Serpent Stew, Lox Pie, and Blood Pudding is best food for Yag?

[serene talon]

yeah

i myself would take more stamina food

[merry pebble]

if you go for HHS then yeah

[limber kindle]

i can't see written texts on signs because of ''UGC Settings'' i'm playing on mac app store version, someone can help me to fix this?

[merry pebble]

you can try posting this into #mac-bugs-discussion 🙂

[odd marsh]

i think its time

valheim is calling indeed

[brisk dew]

How do U find tin deposits?
been to 3 black forests, only got copper

[distant field]

Look along river banks, shores, and pond edges.

Similar to flint in meadows (except tin doesn’t respawn).

[fair cairn]

any waterbodies and rivers in black forest

[chilly violet]

i tried to make the skeleton staff useful, grinded to 40 blood magic, it still feels like garbo, like even using them for support with a mace and bow

i think the main issue with them is their hp doesnt scale with level and their damage is inconsistent

so they arent good meatbags to distract enemies while you do actual work, and they arent good mid combat dps because they will frequently flub two swings and then die in 1-2 hits, i feel like i'm protecting them instead of the other way around

i waited till the ashlands cuz maybe it was one of those cases where they are better in new content like silver sword, ice staff, etc. but nah, they walk 2 meters and die to some terrain hazard in the ashlands, so i dont get the point in spending 100 eitr just to cast a spell that -might- 60 to 120 damage, distract some enemies for a few seconds

like.. am i using the summons wrong? should i be much higher level? idek

[sharp bluff]

u need to shield the skellies with the barrier

and even then they likely wont pull their weight

[chilly violet]

i have been yea, they get 400hp shields at my level

they still dont really pull their weight

like theres a thought in the back of my head saying 'i couldve casted the staff of nature twice with the amount of eitr i used on one of these guys' and its true

[upper glade]

Question: I just came back from hiatus, my old world was created before mistlands, can i continue with my old world?

[fair cairn]

if you didnt explore any mistlands before) then yes, also ahslands is out as well so it will generate as well as long as you didnt explore it

just give it time to load the world though, with 2 new biomes you will have to wait a bit for them to load

[gray sand]

Wait... the death slider is always tied to both gear and skills? 😦

You can't like... keep skills but lose gear or vice versa? 😦

[upper glade]

yup, i have not for both, great! so won't have to redo everything then, thanks!

[hidden gorge]

yeah, from what I know of it, it's the same that resource multiplier affects everything, you can't just change it for cores for example

[gray sand]

I mean.. that makes sense.

Given the sheer number of resources that can drop, splitting it wouldn't be feasible.

Is there a devcommand for no skill drain?

[waxen flame]

hello, is there any way to rotate item stand, or item placed in it, in other axis without mods? thanks

[gray sand]

@ember kraken never 😉

[sly oyster]

wait so you are basically done with the mistlands by the time you get magic

💀

[gray sand]

Drastically depends on RNG.

[sly oyster]

yeah i cleared so many dungeons before getting enough cores

i want more soft tissue though i guess

[ornate sigil]

I believe there is, but I haven't stumbled on it as of yet. Reeves or Derek might know, also one of the helper peeps might know. Castle and Winter pop in on occasion.

[hidden gorge]

yep, ready to kill the queen with just enough cores for a single station at a time...

[gray sand]

I think I just found it.
World Settings are stored in GlobalKeys.

One of the keys is SkillReductionRate.

[ornate sigil]

Ah.

[sly oyster]

set it to negative, you actually gain experience on death

[gray sand]

So just changing that value in the file should allow for 0% reduction on death while all the equipment/inventory parts of death remain.

[sly oyster]

this is how it should be played

[gray sand]

Also means you can set the game to VeryHard for double enemy damage, but then put your own damage back at 100%.
Or even up your damage to 200%, so lethality is equivalent.
They kill you in very few hits, but the same goes for you hitting them.

That could be fun.

[sly oyster]

i could deal with 5% of current level exp loss, but 5% of total...honestly feels like a typo

[vocal rivet]

That's a maximum of 5 even at level 100.

[chilly violet]

5 levels at lvl 100 are the same xp value as lvls 1-42 combined

but i think it reduces it by the xp value, not level, lemme check

[vocal rivet]

Sure, but you're dying so much less at that level it kinda balances out.

[chilly violet]

probably, its still pretty punishing assuming its actually 5 whole levels

[vocal rivet]

Eh, not really.

[quasi valley]

[chilly violet]

i kinda agree but only a bit, i dont usually agree with punishing unskilled players with even harder gameplay, thats 2400 wooden arrows if you're using bows, 6 stacks of wood, assuming you fire 1 arrow every second while grinding (max firerate) thats uhh, a 40 minute grind session per death

[vocal rivet]

But by level 100 you're NOT unskilled.

[chilly violet]

not accounting for, stamina regen
or rested buff actually

with rested it would be ~27 minutes, that sounds much less terrible tbh

i can grind to lvl 100 and be unskilled mechanically, easily

[crisp portal]

Still, the tool used and the enemy hit should have a direct impact on skill lvling. Just like a guy suggested.

[chilly violet]

yea even if it was like. 0.05 more xp per tier(?) of enemy it'd make a big difference, graydwraf training sucks comapred to like, actually playing the game, even tho i have essentially infinite eyes and wood lol

[crisp portal]

hitting a charred enemy with ashlands bow (forgot the name) should be the "max" exp gained to bow skill.

however a crude bow on a GD.shaman lvls the same...

[chilly violet]

not to mention not all skills are built equal for grinding in itself

imagine actually trying to get swim to level 100

[crisp portal]

just to feel a little more progress, you know.

[crisp portal]

I think the only skill worth grinding (which I usually just "grind" it by playing) are the bow and running. the others are just a small bonus.

[nocturne wolf]

Jump is better to grind than running in early game but after that I don’t grind any.

[chilly violet]

it would take 12 and a half hours of swimming, assuming you never ran out of stamina to get to 100

[azure yacht]

continues to wonder why people bother actively grinding for skills over three years after the game was released instead of simply letting them level up on their own

[nocturne wolf]

Low level jumps are just too short but the running is fast enough
I don’t grind it much, only enough to consistently jump over greydwarves and other small enemies

[azure yacht]

People seem to love suffering based on their own actions just to have an excuse to blame it on others

[crisp portal]

Its a system that punishes players, however it does not have that impact overall.

[chilly violet]

dude i do love suffering, we all do, we play valheim

[crisp portal]

I don't think I suffer playing it xD sorry ehehe

[chilly violet]

i put the game on hard cuz i wasnt suffering enough, theres ppl playing without portals or a map out there lol

[distant field]

:does not grind as such but have been making sure to have crossbow equipped instead of bow, and shooting stuff just for the XP, when running about:

[ornate sigil]

Definitely a bell curve of people.

[vocal rivet]

Wait, you're playing on hard but complaining about losing a few levels?

[chilly violet]

i was never complaining, i was listing the math

[tacit crown]

Eggy is cooking something up

[chilly violet]

i think different skills sucking more to get xp level for than others is my only complaint. like, to even out ppl playing different mixed- weapon classes n whatnot, cuz i mained blood magic only and was hovering around 20 until i grinded

wasnt cooking anything up lol

[tacit crown]

I just saw you typing I was hoping for an essay

[chilly violet]

like, new troll staff doesnt even give xp i'm pretty sure

imagine if you made the new ashlands sword and it just outright didnt give xp or scale with level

[sly oyster]

well i found something a root chest cant survive, a 2* seeker on hard

[keen cloud]

finnaly found yagluth ,and is one life far from where i am

[ornate sigil]

Be glad it wasn't your elder that was almost into the mists, but yag instead....that was a long boat trip for a early boss.

[orchid grail]

what ammo are you guys using for Ashlands? I know frost arrows are meta but I shoot so many arrows I run out of ammo so fast, and it's been kind of annoying to farm them constantly

[distant field]

Silver or frost (and, yep), but the bow, I feel, is more important than the ammo.

[orchid grail]

Spinesnap or Ash Fang (thunder version)?

I have 2 spinesnaps with me and 1 ash fang but I haven't been able to update it yet, haven't found the gem (more like I haven't raid the fortress yet)

[distant field]

Both are good choices. Storm Fang is really good. Though some prefer Root.

[orchid grail]

I'll have to give it a try when I am able to upgrade it, but I feel the durability of spinesnap might give me more comfort

[chilly violet]

spinesnap consistently does +30 dmg on charred but stormfang is honestly way cooler

accounting for chain lightning, spinesnap does only +10 on average

[azure yacht]

Storm fang + frost/silver arrows should break ashlands at a decent degree.

It's lightning + spirit + frost. And the spirit is increased if using silver arrows.

And also without counting chain lightning

All of that at a safe distance

And by that moment if you mained bows so far you should have decent bow skill

You can even risk it further by using root set for the extra 15 levels

Or as compensation if the level is low

[chilly violet]

oh wait mb, i messed up my math, storm fang does 4 more dmg than spinesnap on average

at level 2

[chilly violet]

silver arrows do less damaage overall than frost arrows still, even against charred

[orchid grail]

Are we able to level up storm fang with the lvl 4 forge?

I have bow skill at like 85 so it should be good enough

[chilly violet]

lvl 2 is the current max, 150 durability i think

[nocturne wolf]

Flametal weapons with gems can only be upgraded to level 2, at a level 5 black forge

If you need more durability, you can get a normal flametal weapon to level 3

[azure yacht]

I see that now. And that's just dmg, stun locking enemies with frost is huge on its own. Seems like silver arrows need a big buff.

Just increasing the damage to like double of how it is currently should be enough

Decreasing frost arrows damage works too, their main point is slow after all

[chilly violet]

its 142 dmg vs 140 dmg, silver arrows being 140, silver would be better against enemies with 'very weak to spirit' but not 'weak to spirit'

using stormfang with chain lighting avg as a benchmark

i dont know t he actual values at lvl 100 tbh, i'm just using this formula (bowpierce + arrowpierce)x.5 + (bowspirit + arrowspirit)x1.5 + (frost) +(chainlightningdmg)x.25

[keen cloud]

is the arbalet good?

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[nocturne wolf]

If you don’t have a high bow skill, yes. Otherwise it’s best to continue using a bow.

[distant field]

Storm Fang doesn't do Spirit damage by itself, does it?

Oh, it does at level 2! I need to find myself another iolite!

[hidden gorge]

arbalest can be a good resource sink for your extra bones

[distant field]

The accuracy of Arbalest (and other crossbows) makes it superior to a bow, in certain situations, imo.

I ran Spin Snap primary, Arbalest secondary, for a while. It was a lot of fun. But I'm having much more fun with the Ashlands bow and (a version of the) crossbow.

[frail wagon]

i ran mage so i didnt get to experince most ash and mistlands gear

[gray sand]

Ok ngl, dialing enemy damage up by 200% (very hard) but then also dialing your own damage up by the same amount is a very different, very fun experience.

[real mauve]

Why is fishing locked behind the hidden shop? Did the dev explain the pacing of the game somewhere? There are a bunch of decision I don't quite understand, so I'd like to get more insights

[keen cloud]

i have lv 41 bow and i run a spinesnap lv 3

[gray sand]

Cooked Fish is on par with Cooked Wolf Meat (Mountains tier food)

Fish Wraps are a Plains tier food.

So locking fishing behind a Black Forest shop is entirely reasonable. Given if you find said shop early, you can very cheaply produce very good food.

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need it then, your bow skill is very high

[nocturne wolf]

Fishing is completely optional and only a very small amount of content is locked behind it, but that content is enough to encourage players to explore their worlds to find Haldor.

[gray sand]

And if you don't build cheese farms, Fishing Bait is one of the most cost-effective ways to acquire masses of Coal.

[distant field]

It’s not. There is another way to get a fishing rod.

[vocal rivet]

It's very unlikely though.

[nocturne wolf]

You can’t get much bait without Haldor, so you’ll need to find him to continue fishing.

[distant field]

That is true.

[keen cloud]

i found a fishing rod in a frost cave ,down where is that stone golem ,after u kill the golem in a corner there is a fishing rod

unexpected but found one lol

[distant field]

Yep. That’s the very rare way to get it.

[violet needle]

Link to new Valheim Seasons server?

[keen cloud]

well u need a good bow and obisidian or stronger arrows with pierce for that golem

or melee it if u are so confident 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Golems are pierce resistant, why not use a melee weapon?

[gray sand]

Melee simpler and faster.

Parry - Kill. 🤷‍♂️

[keen cloud]

im light armor ,i don t do close fight

[gray sand]

Armor is only relevant if you plan to get hit.

[nocturne wolf]

I use light armor and melee, why is it a problem? Heavy armor is too slow.

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

[keen cloud]

i plan to stay alive

[nocturne wolf]

If you know how to jump, block and dodge you wont take any damage anyway

[keen cloud]

well that s my problem

[gray sand]

Iron Buckler.
Parry -> Kill.

[keen cloud]

oh i know but not in all cases

[gray sand]

Uh...

[nocturne wolf]

Sometimes with golems you need to parry twice, or maybe you’re using a tower shield?

[robust delta]

you can't parry a tree falling on you they got a point 🤔

[gray sand]

If you're coming from the swamp, the only way you can't parry a Golem with an Iron Buckler is if you're running SSS for food.

[vocal rivet]

... Really?

[merry pebble]

the what?

[keen cloud]

im already preparing to kill ygluth

[robust delta]

i don't make the rules 😆

[gray sand]

Single health food for HSS puts you at 114 HP.
Minimum requirement for parry using a rank 1 shield with 0 skill is 109.

So in all scenarios you can Parry -> Kill

[nocturne wolf]

You definitely can’t block a tree, and I don’t think rolling works either

It might be the only damage rolling can’t avoid?

[robust delta]

can't block drowning, though that's a slight different thing 🥸

[vocal rivet]

No, but we're obviously talking about mobs here so no idea what this tree nonsense is for.

[robust delta]

the tree talk was a joke

[distant field]

play style is a thing

[vocal rivet]

Jokes are typically funny.

[robust delta]

how do u fight a pack of wolves? i'm very intrigued as i thought everyone would wear heavy armor and upgrade it
i've been thinking of running an alternate agile set with knife, though pack of wolves are chaotic

[vocal rivet]

Spin to win.

[nocturne wolf]

Wolves have very low max health so they can easily be staggered in a single hit. Parrying them will drain stamina too fast because there’s so many, that’s how I had my only death in mountains. A tower shield can help separate them if there’s too many on you, but you should try killing them as quickly as possible so that can’t happen.

[violet needle]

Friend that isn't online at the moment mentioned a seasonal server that starts...today?

[frigid gust]

It's also a lot easier if you can find a natural "funnel" where they can only get at you from one direction. Top of a rock with only one path up, etc.

[vocal rivet]

No idea. Ask the server owner.

[merry pebble]

then you might wanna search #1024264966712340510 if you can find it

[hidden gorge]

#1024264966712340510 is where people go to advertise/look for servers

[surreal falcon]

You're telling me when the golem yeeted me off a mountain I could have rolled and survived?

[violet needle]

Thanks, ran across that after the initial question, though I'm not certain the one I saw is the one I'm looking for...planning to check it out. Thanks.

[nocturne wolf]

You can’t roll mid-air

[surreal falcon]

Well no, roll the landing

[frigid gust]

You can roll before the golem hits you, which will prevent all yeetage

[robust delta]

yeah that makes sense. ur more mobile thanks to lighter armor so the tower shield isn't that immobile, and i think low stam cost too so could take opportunity

[nocturne wolf]

I usually only equip a tower shield when I need to, and otherwise have no shield for more speed

[surreal falcon]

I'm a terrible roller. I'm only mid at parry or block.

[robust delta]

i just learned yesterday u can jump and then attack and u can strike mid-air. doing the knife secondary attack that way looks so badass

[frigid gust]

Well, then eat lots of good HP food 😉 You can only lose up to 100HP from a single fall, so that might have saved you as well.

[nocturne wolf]

Jump attacks are op, you can avoid enemy attacks and attack triggers while dealing the same damage

[robust delta]

yea. i don't plan to do those unless i wanna be flashy lol
black metal knife is really cool

[gray sand]

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.

[frigid gust]

But can you dodge a wrench?

[gray sand]

psshhh, this is Valheim.

Big troll shows up.
If you can dodge a tree, you can dodge a ball.

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping completely avoids most attacks, uses less stamina than rolling and you can start an attack while jumping but not while rolling. If an attack can be jumped over, jumping is better than rolling.

Hoooooly.... i didnt see that in a long time XD i have to watch it again

[frigid gust]

@gray sand started it, I just kept with it 😉

[keen cloud]

what bait should i use for fishing in plain biom?

[merry pebble]

i didnt even realize that!!!! 👀

[frigid gust]

That's because you don't have an encyclopedic compendium of silly movies in your brain 😛

[merry pebble]

but i would love to 😭

[gray sand]

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL--righty then.

[frigid gust]

Laces. Out. 🏈

[frigid gust]

I think you want to use stingy bait for the coral cod. You typically want to use the trophies from the biome that make the bait for the fish of the biome.

[keen cloud]

oh i understand ,thanks

[frigid gust]

Now take off you hosers. I gotta get back to work. Doug drank the last of your beer.

[robust delta]

according to google, stingy fishing bait. reminds me i should try out fishing

[gray sand]

do you guys get rid of older mats when you get to mist/ashlands? I have so many entrails and oozes and wolf meats and stuff like that but idk something tells me not to get rid of them lol

[merry pebble]

HOARD. EVERYTHING.

[frigid gust]

Personally I keep a stack or two just in case, but I'll usually put them in a disused base or something.

[gray sand]

If you don't chew Big Red, 🤬 you.

[frigid gust]

I thought that was if you don't smoke Tarryltons?

[keen cloud]

good food to farm or do daily stuff

[orchid grail]

true

[frigid gust]

It is, but once I start killing Seekers their cooked meat is better than sausages, and heals faster to boot.

[keen cloud]

the ballista is good ? it says shooting everything that get in its way ,that means shooting u too?

[ornate sigil]

Unless you use a trophy to "train" it, yes it will shoot you.

[merry pebble]

yep, it will shoot you too until you give it some trophy, then it will only target the mob that its programed to

[keen cloud]

she will target 1 trophy at once or can shoot multiple mobs of different kind ?

[merry pebble]

it can only be set on one mob at the time

[keen cloud]

that s dissapointing

[merry pebble]

you can make lots of them 😉

[keen cloud]

yes but is her dmg that good?

and range

[merry pebble]

i dont use them so not really sure

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Ballista you can check what it does here 🙂

[hidden gorge]

it's mediocre for both

[ornate sigil]

They are great against trolls and gjall.

[hidden gorge]

rather, damage can be good, but it also misses fairly often

[serene talon]

some trophies shoot an entire kind of enemies, only saw that with some ashlands mobs, dont know if its the same for greydwarves or smth

[ornate sigil]

Without using seige tactics, they aren't great for most enemies, since most enemies are small and faster than the ballista can deal with.

[keen cloud]

they would be cool to be made against biom bosses

[ornate sigil]

If you have a trophy, they could be.

[keen cloud]

so if u don t use trophy will shoot just you ?

[ornate sigil]

Yes, it targets everything, you included if you don't use a trophy.

[keen cloud]

lol sneaky devs

[merry pebble]

not just you, everything

"By default, a ballista will shoot at any creature in an arc (±45 degrees) within a 28 meters range in front of it, including player characters and tamed animals."

[ornate sigil]

It aparently didn't originally have trophy target training originally, so you just had to be careful.

[gloomy glade]

so why can we not plant an ancient seed to grow into a funny little greydwarf friend

[gray sand]

For the same reason you can't plant a Deer Trophy to have it grow into Deer.
Or Fuling Totems to grow into Fulings.

[austere belfry]

Slayed the Moder!

[gloomy glade]

one is an organic being

the other is a plant

[austere belfry]

it was a lagfest lmao

[gray sand]

One is an item used to summon bosses.
The other is an item used to summon bosses.

[serene talon]

moder is probably the buggiest and most interrupted boss of them all

[gloomy glade]

Maximum fruit

[austere belfry]

I noticed. That fight was a total mess lol. It also managed to destroy a nearby buriedsilver vein and have the ore land on the surface so...

[orchid grail]

it's somewhat effective if you use traps too, helps the ballista to be more accurate

tbh I have a few just as decoration, not a big fan of it

[vocal rivet]

Only if you're daft enough to walk in front of it.

[frail wagon]

I have been dying a lot since returning to Valheim, just about to go fight Bonemass, and checked the server settings. Combat set to hard, no wonder it's harder than I remember xD

[chilly violet]

bow has higher dps, arbalest in general does higher sneak damage

pierce resistant mobs can make things iffy

[frigid gust]

Nobody really noted this, the arbalest is mostly a very separate thing than the bow even if they're both ranged weapons. They're both good, but you have to use different techniques. The arbalest is more of a slow cannon/sniper, the bows are more like an assault rifle. It takes a different technique and has different situations where either of them are useful.

[gray sand]

Arbalest really shines in scenarios where your shots-per-minute would naturally be low.
Whereas the bow is the opposite.
(Rephrasing what Pita said)

[ornate sigil]

Sniping? Arbalest.
Needleing to death? Bow.

If you know the mob will reach you before you reload the crossbow and/or won't die in one hit, then bow is better.

[dark edge]

is frostner a club???

cool i thought it was a mace

[gray sand]

Same skill

[dark edge]

oh

[rotund dust]

In valheim, thats the same thing.

[dark edge]

makes a lil sense but they arent called clubs for the rest of the game

[gray sand]

They are all named for the rest of the game.

Iron Mace is the last non-named weapon from that category.

[dark edge]

how long is fronsner a valid weapon to use

[rotund dust]

I dont feel any damage difference going from Silver Sword, to Black Metal Sword (On Non Undeads)

[gray sand]

Depends on whom you ask.

[dark edge]

im askin u

[rotund dust]

Personally, i never use frostner 😛

[dark edge]

WHAT THE HECK

you prob use the spikey club

[gray sand]

Hasn't been a valid weapon since they gave it the knockback distance of an American football punter in my opinion.

[rotund dust]

Nope, i use Swords.

[dark edge]

yea same but i love frostner more than any other weapon, untill it becomes outdated

[gray sand]

My weapon shouldn't actively prevent me from killing things.

[dark edge]

what

[rotund dust]

Yeah, my son runs it, and he constantly almost gets us killed 😂

[gray sand]

If you enjoy it, it is valid until you can build Mistwalker. Which is it's direct upgrade.

[dark edge]

bruh lol its cause the process of making it is epic

[gray sand]

Frostner punts things away from me, which prevents me from killing them.

[dark edge]

nice does it look the same?

[rotund dust]

It also punts things at his 9 year old sister, resulting in her getting killed 😂

[gray sand]

Mistwalker is a sword.

[dark edge]

lol W

oh, cool!

[ornate sigil]

Mistwalker looks like the silver sword with a misty glow aura

[dark edge]

oh thats cool af

valhiem is the best surval game ngl

[gray sand]

Frostner with 30 knockback (what Wooden Club has) instead of 100 would be perfection imo 🤷‍♂️

As it stands now, I find it completely unusable.

[dark edge]

oh lol yea, what i do is just parry and then 1 shot most things at my level

[rotund dust]

Whats best way to drain tar pits?

[nocturne wolf]

But then it wont be able to launch greylings out of my draw distance

[nocturne wolf]

Use a pickaxe

[gray sand]

[rotund dust]

thanks captain obvious, more technical please

[gray sand]

Dig a trench to a lower elevation or the ocean to drain it.

[nocturne wolf]

Find some lower terrain nearby and dig towards the tar pit. Make sure you aren't digging a slope upwards.

[gray sand]

But that is the obvious as fuck way to use said pickaxe.
So idk what you want from us.

[rotund dust]

Wasnt sure if there was a certain method to make it easier, everytime i drain it, takes ages, cos constantly redigging the path i have 😂

[ornate sigil]

easiest way is to dig close to the edge of the pit, about 2-4m, alllllll the way down till you cant, then break the dividing wall.

[gray sand]

Can also Raise Ground and watch the Tar uncontrollably go everywhere 😁

[rotund dust]

Will raise ground bring the tar globules from bottom to top? 😮

[gray sand]

Nope.

[rotund dust]

So just for chaos 😂

[gray sand]

Have to dig back down.
And if there is a single drop of tar still in radius when you re-dig, it will stop you from grabbing the largest tar globs.

😁

[jagged wind]

no, it's a war hammer 🤓

[vocal rivet]

It's a Club.

[rotund dust]

I just learnt under Throne Seat, in the Main Hall of the Dragur Villages in the meadows, there are valuable chests 😮

[merry pebble]

it is quite intricately shaped but still a club 🙂

[surreal falcon]

A club is just a hammer without a head

[fair cairn]

isnta club just a low quality baseball bat?

[vocal rivet]

Yes, but as Club has a specific meaning in this game, it's disingenuous to claim it's a hammer.

[merry pebble]

not necessearly, depending on the size it could be a stick

[surreal falcon]

A stick is just a hammer without a heax

[fair cairn]

at that point i could just say a stick is just a axe with out the head

[surreal falcon]

Also aren't the weapon like stagbreaker called war hammers. It would be off to have two lines of weapons called war hanner

[surreal falcon]

You could, and I'd agree.

[nocturne wolf]

The 2-handed clubs are sledges.

[surreal falcon]

Porcupine I think is also a stick

[jagged wind]

everything is a stick

sword is just a metal stick flattened and sharpened and with added handle (another stick)

[surreal falcon]

Bow is a bendy stick

Atgier is a long stick

[merry pebble]

stick is the allmighty greatest weapon

[jagged wind]

https://tenor.com/view/tumtum-mikvr-froge-stick-beating-gif-18299903

[surreal falcon]

Wondering if I should explore a bit of plains, fight moder or try to establish a plains adjacent base

[tiny mortar]

Its visually a hammer, functionally a club

[surreal falcon]

Unlike the other biomes I can't really sneak in any upgrades from the plains.

[nocturne wolf]

You can make needle arrows for Moder

[jagged wind]

war hammer is a sub-category of clubs

to be more precise

[vocal rivet]

The game doesn't have subcategories for weapons

[tiny mortar]

Subcategory isnt a term in valheim

[frail wagon]

i wonder if were gonna get a repeating crossbow from the deep north

[tiny mortar]

And Frostner is the only hammer looking club we have

[merry pebble]

Well... We also have stagbreaker, sledge and demolisher 😉

At least i believe those are counted as clubs

[nocturne wolf]

Maces and sledges both use the clubs skill

[tiny mortar]

Very different gameplay, and those are twohanded clubs

But yeah I see why you count them as clubs

[frail wagon]

stagbreaker sledge and demo are like a club subclass

[vocal rivet]

Probably because the game does.

[opaque stone]

Does anyone know the mod to get more storage slots in your storage?

[frail wagon]

for chests or YOUR inventory?

[opaque stone]

Both

[ornate sigil]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 would be a good place to ask around

[frail wagon]

for chests? just build higher tier chests
(Reinforced blackmetel etc)
For YOUR inventory? You cant

[grand ravine]

not always, but often

[tiny mortar]

Pretty sure theyre asking for moddable options, which im sure theres mods for both

[ornate sigil]

with mods, you might be able to change something like that, but I don't mod so I am unsure. I know I have seen changes to carrying weight and stack limits for mods though.

[jagged wind]

obviously

[real mauve]

Can you tame deers?

I started a deer collection but not sure what to feed them with?

[vocal rivet]

You can't, no.

[real mauve]

😢

[ornate sigil]

deers are not among the tamable animals unless you are using a mod(not sure if one exists).

[real mauve]

That harpoon was so handy

How do you guys feel about pacing in vanilla valheim?

[ornate sigil]

there are a lot of things that are "designed to be slow" that bother me, but nothing devcommands can't help.

[grand ravine]

personally i love frostner, idk why it gets as much hate as it does. maybe it's just the way i play? but the knockback rarely bothers me. if it had faster attack speed it might. i found i do like mistwalker though, once that's an option. but iguess it all depends on the enemy too, i swap between club/sword/polearm/bow anyway depending on the situation and what's in front of me

[vocal rivet]

Absolutely fine.

[potent patio]

im confused, is the deep north meant to be explored after the ashlands? ( im still in mistlands so not sure )

when it does become a biome

[vocal rivet]

It's not meant to be explored at all yet, it's not done.

[grand ravine]

no exploring deep north yet. it'll mess with the fabric of reality.

[vocal rivet]

And yes, they've developed the biomes in order so Deep North is last.

[potent patio]

yea thats basically my question ty

[real mauve]

I feel like progression goes too much in burst, and some tech like fishing being locked behind finding a merchant feels weird. Also the swamp area lack new flora imo

[regal mural]

Yeah a lot of poorly made things in the game

[vocal rivet]

Fishing isn't locked behind finding a merchant.

[regal mural]

What is the other way to unlock it beside finishing pole ?

[vocal rivet]

You don't have to unlock anything. You can find fishing rods in Frost Caves.

Not that fishing is exactly an essential item for the game.

[grand ravine]

relative to most games, i dont think there's a lot poorly made in valheim at all...

[regal mural]

Oh the fishing rods can be found in the mountain frost caves ? Dam 6 runs and hundred of caves I have never found one there

[vocal rivet]

They're fairly rare, to be honest. But definitely possible.

[regal mural]

What the person pointed out plus a long list of things

[real mauve]

I mean having to find a fishing pole instead of crafting it is weird.

[regal mural]

Yeah after 2000 hours never found one there, I think the best method is kind of the marchant, more reliable

[grand ravine]

i cleared about a dozen caves before i found one? something like that.

[regal mural]

There is a mod that allows you to spear hook the fish, amazing

[real mauve]

You can also fish by hand ^^ i would not recommend

[grand ravine]

🤔 i feeeelll like....youre not clearing the caves then. lol

[regal mural]

My main method of fishing is without a pole, I just use my boat and wait for them to fall on me

[regal mural]

But I am 😄 through and through

The caves are the best part of mountains

of most biomes imo

[grand ravine]

imean fishing pole room is rare in caves, but not that rare..hundreds? nahhhh

[real mauve]

I would have though it would be vanilla, I just got my harpoon but tried it on deer first for some reasons ^^

[grand ravine]

i was a little disappointed we couldn't harpoon fish, yes.

[regal mural]

I wish there was a third action on it where you could "pull" without having to move.
It would make so much sense.
Right now you can only drag it, i dont know other ways

[regal mural]

part of the plenty of the poorly made things in the game. 😄

[grand ravine]

heh

[regal mural]

I get the game is still in early dev, but there is no question that a lot of the game ius "odd" or not finished' or simply does not make sense. There are countless reasons.
Most games do have that but valheim has a special place in the world of things that dont make sense

[vocal rivet]

Well, it's one of about half a dozen.

[grand ravine]

sounds like you should make a better game then

[livid widget]

I want donuts.

[regal mural]

I love the game but I am not fooling myself 😄
Thanks god the mods are there to fix those things.
Still early acceess so its normal

[vocal rivet]

Ugh, mods.

[regal mural]

People who created mods do 😄

[regal mural]

Mods is literally what is carrying this game

[merry pebble]

this channel is not for mods tho 😄

[regal mural]

Without the mods it would not be as popular, ( liek the world modifiers)

[livid widget]

I haven't used any mods.

[grand ravine]

mods are lol

[vocal rivet]

Mods is used by a tiny fraction of the game's playerbase.

[regal mural]

We are discussing valheim not mods 😄

[livid widget]

The game isn't perfect, but what game is? It's pretty awesome for what it is.

[vocal rivet]

No, you're discussing mods.

[regal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[regal mural]

No valheim, and the use of mods and valheim how it is made.

[vocal rivet]

So,,, mods. Gotcha.

[livid widget]

There are things they could improve

[regal mural]

It is like talking about farming in valheim and saying i am talking about farming irl.....

[vocal rivet]

Of course, no-one would say it's perfect.

[regal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-gif-23861497

[livid widget]

Someone out there thinks it's perfect.

There must be at leat one.

[vocal rivet]

I don't think anyone would. They'd be an idiot.

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message #valheim-chat message #valheim-chat message #valheim-chat message

[livid widget]

It's not perfect to me, cause no donuts.

[regal mural]

derek, he is always arguing whenever someoen disagrees with his vision of this perfect game

there are a few others gatekeepers like him\

[vocal rivet]

Huh? Did you not read what I just said?

[livid widget]

I'm a gatekeeper? lol

[vocal rivet]

The game IS NOT PERFECT.

[merry pebble]

aparently we all are XD

[livid widget]

I hate, hate, hate ashlands and haven't even played for like 3 weeks while I wait to see if they tone it down. Hardly gate keeping.

[regal mural]

Yes indeed, discussing valheim and the use of mods into them , not the mods per se.
People need to stop mixing up conversation.

Mods were mentioned to a separate thing to the game, we were initially talking bout fisihing

[regal mural]

It is not what you believe ?

[grand ravine]

🍿

[vocal rivet]

How can mods be separate to the game? Without the game there would be no mods.

[regal mural]

not you, why ?

I said that about others

[vocal rivet]

No, I've never once stated or even intimated that the game was perfect.

[livid widget]

What?

OH I thought you meant I was the gatekeeper, but you were saying Derek is?

[vocal rivet]

Apparently I am, just for having a different opinion.

[regal mural]

yeah and others like that.

I mean jsut read his sentence "How can mods be separate to the game? Without the game there would be no mods.:"

It has nothing to do with what we are talking but he needs to make a point to proof something no one cares

[livid widget]

I just want donuts.

[regal mural]

You most often telling people they are wrong lol 😄

[vocal rivet]

I was responding to YOU talking about mods.

if you'd not mentioned them, I'd have never said anything.

[regal mural]

SO is talking about how to take care of a dog, what it needs. A discussion about FOOD ?

[vocal rivet]

Are you feeling OK? Honestly?

[livid widget]

Let's talk about how silly the ballista are. Or the carts.

[grand ravine]

this is hilarious ngl

[regal mural]

Food is one aspect of the whole dogs needs. Narrowing on that is very stubborn when the discussion is bigger than that.
DOnt get hook up on 1 word, understand the discussion. For yal

[regal mural]

You are arguing yourself

[livid widget]

When you say dog, do you really mean donuts?

[regal mural]

Anything with a hole yes

[livid widget]

Can't tell if serious.

[grand ravine]

lolll

[regal mural]

I cant tell if you are Apex XD
asking me if a dog is a donut

[livid widget]

It's all just donuts in the end.

[regal mural]

All holes

[grand ravine]

truth.

[livid widget]

But serious, when you say dog as a food source. Are you talking like in game wolves, or actual dogs?

[regal mural]

We are all DONUT HOLES

[livid widget]

I suppose both are sources of food, so maybe it doesn't matter.

[grand ravine]

my friend and i call asksvin dogs.

[regal mural]

no no, I was talking about taking care of a dog.
The food source is one aspect of it. The whole discussion is not about FOOD, but the dog.

In this analogy the game is the dog, we talk about the dog. but food was mentioned and people like derek think we talk about hte food ( food is the mods) when the dog is what we care about.

This is just one of the ways Derek tries to gatekeep discussions

An analogy.

[livid widget]

I think donuts as a food source is a better analogy.

[regal mural]

True, so if we talk about donuts, they ahve holes, but the holes is not the main goal of the discussion, its part of the Donut, we talking about Donut

[livid widget]

I rarely find myself agreeing with Derek, but it's the internet.

[grand ravine]

i think a better analogy would be, talking about mods then saying you're not talking about mods

[regal mural]

True

[regal mural]

So when you mention your grandmother that needs to go the bathroom, its like talking about her period ?

Not about her well being? its all about bathroom now ?

[livid widget]

So you're saying it has indirect relevance.

Like donuts in the evening. Usually not eaten in the evening, but still delicious.

[regal mural]

In a way yes, its relevant to the discussion, we are not discussing the mods, but the game

[grand ravine]

🤣

[livid widget]

I actually forget what the mod reference was even in regards to.

[regal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/crazy-eyes-steve-buscemi-big-eyes-gif-13013857421017580531

[regal mural]

Yeah exactly! that is why its pathetic people insisting XD

[livid widget]

I don't use them. But I do love me some nobuildcost.

[regal mural]

If you enjoy that, use the cheatcode 'nocost"

A MAZE ING

[livid widget]

that is to craft whatever?

I figure after like 30k stone mined I deserve to just build without needing it.

Game sucks until it gets donuts though.

[regal mural]

yeah anything.
No conditions or cost.
You can craft opening your inventory like the hammer and stone axe

[grand ravine]

i need a doughnut now

[regal mural]

Even repair while running

Its NOT A MOD********
Just wanted to clarify 🙂

[livid widget]

Sounds so good

[regal mural]

I do not want to trigger people with mods words

[grand ravine]

now we're back to mods, yeesh

[regal mural]

Well derek no

oh its jawbonegroove, nvm, so used to the same

[livid widget]

Hoping tuning patch for ashlands soon

[grand ravine]

i think derek went to get a doughnut

[regal mural]

Honestly ashland is really easy

Once you clear the sites and around there is little spawn and boring.
Just to get there its really annoying

[livid widget]

Meh

[regal mural]

I am not replaying a new run ( becausemy previous ashland was so short)
On max difficulty and a mod that level up enemies to 5 stars

Now its challenging. WIth some extra stamina and eitr regen its actually fun

[grand ravine]

lol mods again

[livid widget]

We should have a donut channel. We could talk all things donuts. Powdered sugar. Glazed. Longjohns. Jelly. Old Fashioned. Chocolate.

[grand ravine]

i wish I was a real gamer with 2000 modded hours in a game that i think is shite.

[grand ravine]

ohhhhh, yessssss. yes please.

[livid widget]

I think I'm at like 420 hours or so

[grand ravine]

the correct number of hours! highfive

[livid widget]

Not sure I've ever exceeded 1k in any game except WoW maybe.

Everquest perhaps.

[grand ravine]

i have over 1k in like...3 games

[livid widget]

Oh I'm actually a bit short. 417.1 hours.

[sly oyster]

so when you put a portal up against a wall, why is it the game always wants to put me through the wall and not in the giant open area in front of the portal?

[merry pebble]

thats still not bad 😄

[livid widget]

Turn it

[grand ravine]

need to turn it around

[livid widget]

It has runes on one side. That's the side you exit

[sly oyster]

ah so its got an actual front side

[livid widget]

yep

[merry pebble]

yes, it has even little pointy step

[blazing rivet]

any news when is the next update gonna be?

[livid widget]

Now I kind of want an italian beef

I must just be hungry

[blazing rivet]

recently finished the ashlands with a friend of mine and we're excited for the next biome

[merry pebble]

no news, its still far away, and we got ashlands not even 2 months ago...

[blazing rivet]

oh thanks

[inland skiff]

Hello, everyone. I'm completely new to Discord and only started playing Valheim a few weeks ago.

[merry pebble]

welcome in 😄

[livid widget]

Welcome.

[inland skiff]

Thank you! So I need some help from the professionals. I went exploring and dropped all of my gear in the Plains Biome. I had just recently defeated the Elder.

[livid widget]

You dropped it, eh?

[vocal rivet]

Ooof, that's a heck of a skip.

[inland skiff]

Deathsquito gets me every time I try to retrieve it.

[orchid grail]

let me guess, deathsquito?

[inland skiff]

Yesss!

[merry pebble]

i have a feeling some flying stabby guys helped with the dropping 😄

[orchid grail]

yeah, we all have been there

[inland skiff]

Is it best to just start fresh? Or is there a way to retrieve it?

[vocal rivet]

Skipping two biomes is not advisable. You might have to leave that stuff for now.

[livid widget]

Is it on the border of your black forest? Or far?

[inland skiff]

It takes me like ten minutes to get there in real time by boat from my nearest base.

[livid widget]

You lose a full copper set?

[inland skiff]

I went by boat thinking I was safe on the water.

Lost all my copper stuff. 😅

[livid widget]

yeah, that sucks =/

[merry pebble]

if the body close to border of other biome you should be able to quickly run in grab it and sprint out, in the worst case i can hop on and help you retrieve it 🙂

[inland skiff]

I had them leveled up and everything and already been to the swamp biome. Smh. My luck.

Wait? People can help retrieve gear?

[livid widget]

yeah

[inland skiff]

Okay. This game gets cooler by the day.

[livid widget]

You'll have to add them on steam

[inland skiff]

I have Xbox. Is it all cross-platform?

[merry pebble]

not necesearly but its the simplest way i know

[livid widget]

oh, not sure on that

[vocal rivet]

Just give them the join code.

[inland skiff]

I'd have to take some minutes and figure out how to do that, but that is pretty neat.

[merry pebble]

i think i can show you if you hop in voice chat

[inland skiff]

Lol. I don't even know how to do voice chat on here.

I'm a noob

[merry pebble]

on the left side you have channels and if you scroll a bit you should see me in one room 🙂

[inland skiff]

Let me check

[ashen spoke]

is there any 1 who can help me kill yagluth non moddded

[fickle urchin]

Blud magic

[inland skiff]

Asatru, thank you so much! 🙏

[merry pebble]

[austere belfry]

fck deer

as soon as I stopped needing the hides, they universally decide to just derp in front of me at a leisurely pace

they know what theyre doing

can't trust the deer

[livid widget]

It's funny when they run into your ax swing chopping a tree and you get a two-fer

[austere belfry]

Also not to resurrect this but im inclined to agree about odd progression. Waiting till almost endgame for things like magic weapons or a crossbow is disappointing to me. As far as fishing, I hope the ocean biome update adds functions for the fish because right now theyre largely pointless

[inland skiff]

There's going to be more updates?

[grand ravine]

at least one more major biome. probably a minor ocean update as well

[rotund dust]

After reading this exchange with you and Aresheir, you inspire hope that there are still good people left in the world, god bless 😄

[rotund dust]

NAH Ocean getting a MAJOR Update, we getting the hardest boss of all in it. LETS GO :p (None of this has any truth, or credit to it)

[grand ravine]

(pls let me put ballistae on drakkar. kthx.)

[inland skiff]

That's awesome! I'm currently conquering the swamp biome. Lost all my gear accidentally wandering into the Plains biome and Asatru saved my ass and got me all my stuff back.

[grand ravine]

imeannnn, if we can reinforce and customize our ships. maybe fish with harpoon...I'll be happy. but something like a more elusive crystal-gilded sea serpent miniboss thing would be cool too.

[rotund dust]

I wanna fight Jörmungandr

or is that what serpents are meant to be?

Cos i feel serpents aint strong enough

[grand ravine]

i think that might be beyond viking capability. thays like god/titan business. and also would herald the end of earth

[inland skiff]

I just want to cook the meat. I ran a serpent into a troll and he killed it for me. So I grabbed the meat and scales and have no idea what to do with them but save them for later. 🤣

[rotund dust]

Fun fact, hes invincible to us plebs, so once you summon him your world gets destroyed... I dunno, end the game with a bang 😛

[grand ravine]

you're conquering swamps, you'll taste that meat soon. but, i always prefer a stew over plain meats. personally. >.>

[rotund dust]

Yeah, surprised me the stats of Fish Wrap, Lox Meat Pie vs Serpent Stew

[grand ravine]

lolll imean....could. but if that was the case it should be like an optional post-deepnorth bang XD

serpent stew is the winner all the way into mistlands. also serpent scale shield wins until plains.

[rotund dust]

It aint a buckler, i aint wearing it 😂

[grand ravine]

fair. but considering you can get it before a buckler.....

[rotund dust]

Only if you are brave!

[grand ravine]

[rotund dust]

I was brave, til you scared me away from the Sealed Tower, now i just sit in the meadows.

[grand ravine]

i personally like bucklers. but serpent shield became part of my bag-recovery kit for a long time. sometimes you don't have the hp to parry squitos, etc.

[grand ravine]

🤣 well you've beat moder now right?

[rotund dust]

Yeah, standing at Yag, contemplating if its time right now

[grand ravine]

it's doable in padded armour for sure. i had a vague idea of what was inside and i still died like 3 times though XD

check your base walls, and go for it

[rotund dust]

Just foun another Vegvisir too, that makes 7, you guys are joking when you say they are rare 😂

[grand ravine]

after yag raids can have wings tho.

holy crap dude. what seed are you playin on

[rotund dust]

The random one the game gave me

[grand ravine]

i legit have seen ithink 2 in my main world. maybe only 1

[rotund dust]

8uAiAiQuK4

[grand ravine]

ive seen maybe 8ish of the standing stone structures, but only one or two had the vegvisir

[rotund dust]

8? Hah

You mean the stonehenges?

[grand ravine]

yeah and the smaller ones. the one veg that comes to mind was at the smaller type, with just like 2 stones standing and one between them near the ground

[rotund dust]

As i said, my first one i found was when i got knocked off a mountain, and slide all the way down into the plains, and in a bush it was (About 7 steps deep) Guess im blessed.

Ive found most at the stone structures tho

[grand ravine]

in a bush with no standing stones around?

[rotund dust]

Nah just in a random bush

[grand ravine]

thinkin about it, i musta found 2, because i remember the first one showing boss altar wayyyyyy tf out northeast, and i ended up finding one alot closer to spawn to the west

[rotund dust]

Can bodies disappear

I was climbing the Sealed Tower, fell off, came back, and theres no body on the ground

[grand ravine]

interesting. i thought they were only found at standing stones

[rotund dust]

Ive also found them at the Towers, that have a few fulings and a couple of floors

[grand ravine]

[rotund dust]

But id dint loot my loot

I came back thru my portal, and my body was gone

[grand ravine]

[rotund dust]

I was laughing cos i failed climbing up, even tho I had put side rails on the whole way up

[grand ravine]

hmmmm. wanna say someone recently said that can happen buy idt I've ever experienced it

that climb is no joke withoit feather cape

[dark edge]

what recources x does everyone play at

[rotund dust]

Its easy, you just parkour up XD

Workbench halfway, make it super safe.

[grand ravine]

easy he says

[rotund dust]

As he lost all of his meads for Yag, and his only set of gear 😂

I thought maybe dying in the proximity of the sealed tower had secret death penalties...
Also, I play at 1x RSS @dark edge

[dark edge]

cool

[rotund dust]

Bro thats put a dampener on my gametime, losing my deathbag, sure i have enough resources at base to probably make what i lost, but... Imma take a break

[grand ravine]

i mostly have played at 1x, though recently i justified bumping it up to 1.5x as i also farm a lot for my friend (>.>) and have found that overall that seems ok. not over the top easy, but not a grind, even going for massive builds and farming for 3-4 sets of gear at each tier. if i were to have more granular control i would put a few things at 1.5, like metals, and leave most things 1x though.

[grand ravine]

do you know exactly where you fell?

[rotund dust]

Yeah, ofc i do, ive even logged in and out, no bag 😦

[grand ravine]

(phone keyboard is makin me twitch rn..)

maybe try digging down a little? maybe it popped into the ground? or into the tower?

[dark edge]

oh nice see i just play a 3x cause i get burned out of games faily quick so i dont want to spend to much time grinding on armour and mats

also i build really big

[sharp raptor]

I have a farm server with the resources cranked up that I use to refill my main server thats at 1X when I get low on building mats. Playing with 3X all the time is too much inventory management
