[merry pebble]

and as this is basically our first playthrough iirc (yes yes, 11th if we count the 10 up to swamp) i dont reallythink you are up for THAT challenge

[gray sand]

Did they un-nerf it?

[orchid grail]

like it took me around 20 min with the fastest ship to get there

[merry pebble]

?

[fluid hull]

frostner is good till you get the mistlands tier equipment

so you cna use it in swamps-mountains-plains with no problem

[gray sand]

They gave it 100 knock back which means it actively prevents you from killing your current target.

Aka nerf.

[merry pebble]

i mean... i like even BM sword better than Frostner

[nocturne wolf]

I can kill things with it and don't have issues with the knockback
If you dont want the knockback, use a sword

[fluid hull]

I'd call it a way to kite your enemies, the knock back has saved me multiple times

[merry pebble]

that was some time ago already no? i dont remember seeing that in any recent patchnotes

[gray sand]

The knock consistently lets things live longer than they should.
My weapon should not work against me.

[gray sand]

Oh I know. And I refuse to touch the weapon again for as long as that change remains in place 😁

[fluid hull]

Yeah, but frostner deals spirit-frost-blunt and knocks back. fair exchange for less damage

[grand ravine]

lol

[fluid hull]

Fair enough, If i can't reach them, my friends will. It helps a lot when playing coop 😄

[nocturne wolf]

If the knockback was reduced it wouldn't launch greylings as far, making it an objectively worse weapon.

[gray sand]

Odd way to spell better.

[merry pebble]

I personally also really dont like knockback, but calling it bad weapon because of that? Thats simply just wrong.

[onyx skiff]

you dont know what im able to do with my fenris set😈

[gray sand]

But it is complexly right 😉

[nocturne wolf]

Other maces have high knockback too, why shouldn't the frostner?

[onyx skiff]

silver sword or frostner?

[merry pebble]

ok, i want to see a video of you conquering ashlands with mountain gear XD

[gray sand]

Wooden Club, my beloved, has 30.
And it is perfect.

[orchid grail]

porcupine is ridic tho, feels like a baseball bat hitting the ball lol

[grand ravine]

you forgot genius, humble, patient, resourceful, kind, and generous.

[nocturne wolf]

Why can't you use a sword or any other weapon type with less knockback instead?

[merry pebble]

it is not, it doesent fit our playstyle, but that doesent make it objectively bad weapon, that just makes it bad for us 😉

[gray sand]

I can and I have to.
Because they nerfed my favorite weapon 😭

[merry pebble]

oh it is, i just personally doesent like it 🙂

[onyx skiff]

are the dual wield axes i saw in the trailer in game?

[merry pebble]

yes they are

[onyx skiff]

thanks vroski🙏🙏

[grand ravine]

(sips coffee)

[merry pebble]

are you purposefully changing B to V?

[onyx skiff]

vro sounds cooler

[nocturne wolf]

No, vro is just short for vrother

[merry pebble]

not really... (reply for this--->#valheim-chat message )

[onyx skiff]

you guys dont know how much aura i got when i walked up to my friend with the fenris set and wolf cape😭🙏🙏

[merry pebble]

exactly none since nothing like that is in game 😉

[onyx skiff]

dawg ion remember the full names

[nocturne wolf]

I don't know because I can't make the fenris set

[merry pebble]

of what?

[ornate sigil]

Ion and cat-ion?

[onyx skiff]

ion means i dont😞

[onyx skiff]

WHY

[nocturne wolf]

Luck

[merry pebble]

no, ion is electicaly charged particle

[ornate sigil]

Guess I'm old 🧓

[onyx skiff]

yes but i looked so mysterious

[onyx skiff]

what the flip is that

[merry pebble]

not really unfortunatelly... or not really to anyone older than 15

[onyx skiff]

i have like 50 fenris hairs but i died in a cave and uhh idk where i died at

i was crying out of joy when i got the cultist trophy😭🙏

[nocturne wolf]

How did you die? Are you still using bad food?

[onyx skiff]

no but

[nocturne wolf]

What food?

[onyx skiff]

idek how i died i forgot but i was using sausages and different soups

i had so much health and stamina but i felt too strong and rushed in with like 20hp

[keen cliff]

i was exploring Frost Caves with troll set and weak weapons and died lol. I need to get back there now that i have some iron stuff

[nocturne wolf]

So you used carrot soup? You should be using swamp food or better in mountains

[onyx skiff]

i believe in you🙏🙏

[onyx skiff]

no i used the black soup and deer soup

[keen cliff]

lol thanks. every time i die dumbly like that, i decide to plant crops and work on my base for a bit

[nocturne wolf]

It's still the same problem - You're using black forest food

[onyx skiff]

dawg stop telling me how bad my food is and tell me what to eat😭🙏🙏

[keen cliff]

black soup + sausages + turnip stew is fine for Frost Caves, yeah?

[grand ravine]

i always eat neck tail because of its hidden armour mechanic. js.

[nocturne wolf]

Any combination of 2H1S or 2S1H food from swamp or mountains (plain cooked meat doesn't count)

Try not to use food from 2 biomes behind unless you need to, and always use the biome's own food when fighting a boss

[onyx skiff]

yea i would say so but this one guy says otherwise😞

[onyx skiff]

how do i know if the food is for the right biome

[merry pebble]

could be better and could be worse 🙂

[keen cliff]

haha

[ornate sigil]

Mountains food would be something like: onion soup, wolf skewers and something else.

[nocturne wolf]

The level of cauldron required for the food is that food's biome - 1 (So swamp is 2 and mountains is 3)

[onyx skiff]

i also got the ice cream and other stuff but my friend just wont bring me the ingredients😭🙏

[onyx skiff]

i have one upgrade unlocked but i just have to build it

[nocturne wolf]

Onion soup, wolf skewer and Eyescream/Sausages is what I use

[onyx skiff]

so i should get it asap?

[onyx skiff]

i use those but not onion soup

[nocturne wolf]

If you want to die less, yes

[burnt glen]

Wolf skewer is pretty good

[onyx skiff]

me and my friend got such good mechanics we play volleyball with the wolves since his frostner has an insane knockback sometimes

[placid minnow]

Can someone join my world and build me a boat

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[merry pebble]

WTH mate...

[placid minnow]

I don’t wanan resort to cheats

[grand ravine]

🤣

[nocturne wolf]

Why can't you make a boat?

[merry pebble]

ask your friend who runs the server then

[placid minnow]

Bc everything I own is stranded on an island

[placid minnow]

It’s not an actual server and I run it

[onyx skiff]

a raft isnt that hard to make buddy😞🙏

[placid minnow]

Too slow

[halcyon blade]

Having someone else join and make it for you is the same outcome as if you cheat.

[burnt glen]

Just cheat at that point

[placid minnow]

I’d sleep better knowing someone just built it

[onyx skiff]

am i committing a crime if i go back in the files the second i die but i dont touch my tomb at all😭🙏

[merry pebble]

you dont wanna cheat... and you want someone to drop you materials for boat... which will most likely be cheated in anyway...

[placid minnow]

If I didn’t see it it didn’t happen

Astra tryna help me

[nocturne wolf]

Turn your monitor off when you type the commands

[burnt glen]

LOL

[onyx skiff]

are there commands in the game?

i only know how to emote

[ornate sigil]

Developers console aka: devcommands

[nocturne wolf]

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

[merry pebble]

they are useless for you, you are master gamer after all right? 🙂

[onyx skiff]

yeah im not gonna use them i promise🙏🙏

how long is it supposed to take to beat the bosses?

[merry pebble]

anywhere between 1 minute and 30 minutes

[placid minnow]

Alr Fine can someone give me some fine wood

[ornate sigil]

Is this what it feels like to be Loki? Tempting others into bad decisions?

[onyx skiff]

i meant like going through the game by killing all the bosses

[burnt glen]

Birch trees can if you ask nicely

[fair cairn]

isnt loki a trickster more than a little devil on your shoulder giving terrible advice?

[merry pebble]

thats really individual, i am at day 250 or something and i am in middle of mistlands for example, someone may be done with ashlands in that time and someone might still be in swamp

[merry pebble]

both

[fair cairn]

well ok then

[nocturne wolf]

If someone is in swamp at day 2500 they're doing something wrong

[merry pebble]

shit, one zero more than i meant XD

[ornate sigil]

They better have have a bomb base...

[onyx skiff]

im at like day 150 and we are getting like 40 silver more and i think we are ready for moder

[fair cairn]

me at day 400 still mountains, yup

[nocturne wolf]

In my first playthough we were past day 200 before fighting the elder because we moved base twice and my friend was trying to tame a lox and clear a fuling village with bronze

[onyx skiff]

but i kinda dont want to progress any further cus that could mean the end to my fenris set😞

[onyx skiff]

i forgot what a fuling was

[merry pebble]

goblin

[onyx skiff]

ohh

[nocturne wolf]

Common plains enemies

[sharp raptor]

You can still choose to wear that set when you go into earlier biomes. Its really just the ashlands that fenris is no longer viable.

[ornate sigil]

Green laughing enemies with pointy ears

[onyx skiff]

how much armor should i have when going in plains or mistlands

[merry pebble]

yeah, in mistlnads you get away with it but you have to be kinda carefull 😄

[sharp raptor]

Ya, i personally never tried mistlands in fenris but I have heard from others it is still viable.

[onyx skiff]

ok maybe i can remove my fenris clothes but im keeping the hoodie cus its way too cool looking🙏🙏🙏

[onyx skiff]

i went there today for the first time and i killed one bug and died to 3😞

[merry pebble]

my friend was using it and it is not bad, you are very quick on your feet, but it wouldnt be for me since i like my armor 😄

[orchid grail]

it's pretty doable until you encounter 2-3 seekers at the same time, but it's good because you get to run a lot too lol

[serene hollow]

Mistlands is viable in Fenris pretty easily if you are good at dodging/strafing attacks. No pierce resist hurts on the fenris set. Even with high health food you can’t really take hits in fenris. Don’t panic, use the terrain, ooze bombs and it is a great way to run around the place. Depends on play style really. You are not going to face tank in fenris but the movement speed makes kiting spear throwing a ton of fun.

[onyx skiff]

so whats the best weapon type for fenris?

[burnt glen]

I’d say knife or the fist weapon to match the speed for a shredder build.

[plush umbra]

the abyssal razor is easily obtainable early game vry good dps

[tidal stratus]

Anyone want to help me recover my body in the Plains? I need a big strong Viking to beat up some Lox for me.. I have portals set up really close to my body and next to the Stone Circle. Should take maybe 10-15 minutes?

[gray sand]

Flesh Rippers 😉

[hoary wing]

Howdy not sure if this is the right section for this. I'm a new player starting my play, looking for cool people to enjoy the game. Facing the serpent solo is not fun 😂

[vocal rivet]

You might be able to find some people in #1024264966712340510

[hoary wing]

Ok thanks

[true lion]

hello there! Haveing trouble finding a new vanilla servver in server section, anyone know of any other areas to look?

[tepid prawn]

should be plenty there especially for EU and Americas

[true lion]

most old and mods

[tepid prawn]

have you made a server yet do you still need help?

I even managed to find one yesterday for Oceania which is hard

[tidal stratus]

I do. I have made it a server and have a join code if you're able to help me!

[tepid prawn]

okay could come and help you do you want me to bring a character with plains appropriate gear or overpowered gear that could be spoilery>

[tidal stratus]

Bring the OP gear. I'm good with that. It's not too far - just in a tough spot that I can't access due to baddies in the way.

[tepid prawn]

oki DM me friend code

join code thingy

[crimson cradle]

me and my friend just went through the skeleton dungeon in the black forest, saw a big green skeleton and noped our entire way out of there

[placid minnow]

Can someone help me fight elder

[austere arch]

Hi I just got valheim

[jagged wind]

have fun

[plush umbra]

good luck buddy!

[tepid prawn]

he reasonably easy do you have grown carrots and got blackforest foods?

[low warren]

oh yeah, in my recent playthrough I never saw a starred deathsquito, lox, valkyrie, abomination, etc. - did they remove that?

[sharp raptor]

These have never had starred variants.

[low warren]

wow really? not even for a litle while at some poitn? I could have sworn I got owned by 1 star mosquitos and loxes in the past

[vocal rivet]

Unless you were playing with mods, no.

[sharp raptor]

Deathsquitoes were nerfed at one point. So you may have just played prenerf. Lox have always been beasts without stars

[keen cliff]

41 fenris hair from one Frost Cave about average?

[tepid prawn]

feels like that is on the high side

[keen cliff]

hey, i'll take lucky. course i haven't finished with swamps yet, just sticking my toe in there. still need to kill some wolves

[sinful sonnet]

hi all little question. mistwalker or jotun bane

[gray sand]

Walker.

And I say that as an Axe main.

[sinful sonnet]

yeah man i just got it and violated a troll. good choice thank you

[grand ravine]

so for some reason, like forever, i thought iron cooking station required a hearth under it to function. but it seems to work with 2 campfires/pits. just figured out how to use 2 pits for both station and cauldron. holds less fuel, but this is satisfying. the hearth's dimensions irk me.

[sinful sonnet]

its so awkawrd trying to fit in into a base but i managed to fit it and all the other bits in

[tepid prawn]

both, jotun bane for woodcutting bis at mistlands, mistwalker is still strong in next biome especially once you can upgrade to level 4

[tepid prawn]

and here is me sometimes building bases with 5 hearths xD

[grand ravine]

lol...i like to build small, at least in the beginning. this way it all fits in 4x2m instead of 4x3. also maintains symmetry with all 2m pieces. when i have more room, meh. it's not so bad.

[gray sand]

It's BiS by like 2 though isn't it?

[tepid prawn]

Level 4 bm axe is 69 chop, jotun bane level 1 is 70 (level 3 is 76 chop damage)

[gray sand]

Sounds like your base is very smol if it's hard to fit in a hearth?

[gray sand]

Ah.
If poison didn't suck so bad I would use Jotun.

[tepid prawn]

I still use it, just only for wood haha thats what its for imo

[sinful sonnet]

i like to keep my kitchen area compact but the whole base is pretty decent. hearth is just phat as 💀

[gray sand]

Berserkir though.

[gray sand]

Uh.. my kitchen is like 8x8 I think?

I have photo. One sec.

[sinful sonnet]

jesus. mine is 2x3 i think maybe a tiny bit bigger

[gray sand]

#building-screenshots message

Basement kitchens are the best.

[sinful sonnet]

#building-screenshots message

got everything i need just squished in

[gray sand]

Move fermenters elsewhere. Will give more space 🤷‍♂️

[sinful sonnet]

im sooo lazy with meads i need to use them more

[tepid prawn]

the higher you get in biomes the more important they become, biome 7 its insane i drink 'em as fast as beer and mead IRL!

[sinful sonnet]

im starting to use them a lot more in the mistlands i can imagine how important they are in ashlands

[tepid prawn]

drinking about 3 times as many in Ashlands as in Mistlands haha

[clever saffron]

Is there anything in the mistlands you can’t take through portal

[tepid prawn]

yes, want more info?

[clever saffron]

Ok

[tepid prawn]

||you will need black metal for sap extractors and the dvergr extractors which are an ingredient in making them also cannot be teleported||

[clever saffron]

Ok, thanks.

[crimson cradle]

I've been looking for forever in the black forest and I cannot find any ore

I think it doesn't like me

Maybe the black forest that the elder is in has ore

[vestal ether]

It blends well if you don't know exactly what you're looking for

[crimson cradle]

Maybe

I already have a smelter and coal thing, since me and my friend have spent like the past couple ingame days dungeon crawling

All I need is the actual ore

[tepid prawn]

tin ore is near the shore, copper looks like a big stone node but has sorta glittering lines through it, hope that helps

[crimson cradle]

Which one is better to look for first?

[tepid prawn]

copper maybe because any black forest shore will always have some tin nodes, and you'll need 2 copper for every bronze you make at the forge (2 copper 1 tin)

[crimson cradle]

Oh I need to make bronze?

I assumed I just made stuff out of the individual ores

Good to know

[tepid prawn]

most things need bronze, weapons etc, tin is for cauldron and i think butcher knife and thats it, copper is for forge and some base building things and forge upgrades, everything else needs bronze

[copper bobcat]

how do online servers work? are they up 24/7?

[halcyon blade]

Copper knife as well if you're going into knives. Only one of the metal weapons that isn't bronze.

[silver dome]

They churn when someone is playing

[copper bobcat]

How do world saves work?

Does only the owner do it or can anyone

[ornate sigil]

I believe it can be set to auto or manual. If manual, the server owner has to click "save" if it is being hosted on the same system that the owner is playing on. For 3rd party servers, I don't know but I would imagine someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 would know.

[nocturne crater]

Do boars get it on when u not near em?

[tepid prawn]

yes and no, a hosted server is 24/7 but if someone hosts from their computer as a timed server it will go offline when they turn PC off

[tepid prawn]

no they want you to watch

[copper bobcat]

ok thanks for the info

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[azure yacht]

I thought of a nice challenge involving finishing current game WITHOUT leveling skills at all

[merry pebble]

probably best to ask #mods-discussion 🙂

[shy marlin]

wouldn't really change much tbh

minus bows being a little more painful

[azure yacht]

That's one of the main goals, to prove that, in the end, skills are useful but far from being the most absolutely essential mechanic in the game that people keep thinking them to be

Bows and (slightly) magic would be the only ones that would feel much more affected by that. Melee, not so much

Want to see how many times I die by the end of the playthrough

[opal prairie]

42

[crisp harness]

Just here to ask. Why are there so many negative reviews since the latest update on steam

I want to get back into it and finish it for the "FIRST" time... but I'm worried

[merry pebble]

which update do you mean?

also i see mostly positive reviews🤷‍♂️

[crisp harness]

expansion

[gray sand]

People want a game that is self-described as a "Brutal survival" game to be pathetically easy.

So the cycle of "new biome challenging -> Players bitch instead of adapt -> Biome gets nerfed to the ground" will continue to repeat itself until the final update 🤷‍♂️

[odd helm]

It's still sitting on very positive reviews, overall and recent

[merry pebble]

the ashlands? people are just expecting "brutal exploration and survival game" to be easy on them in penultimate biome

[odd helm]

So there's not been any scandals or such if that's what you're worried about

[crisp harness]

I'm all about adapting. But if there are no "POTENT" ways of countering stuff. I'm all for nerfs. I don't want every game to be elden ring. Challenging SURE because if things are too trivial it's boring. But if it's too hard it is also not fun

[gray sand]

It is in no way too hard at present.

[crisp harness]

Some people been downvoting it since the latest update.. but ok.. I'll trust you guys on it

[odd helm]

Remember that there's world modifiers to change your experience if you wish to tweak difficulty and such

And if you wish, the PTB has some balance changes that live doesn't have atm

[merry pebble]

also the people that complain about difficulty seems to absolutly ignore world modifiers

[odd marsh]

wooooh new lappy now time to start a new playthrough

[warped bramble]

yo hello all i just bought the valheim i am exited to play this game and i need some friends to play and need to learn this exiting game 🥳

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510 is the best channel for finding people to play with

[warped bramble]

thanks mate for suggesting 👍

[ionic imp]

Hi guys! Im actually trying to farm some barley. I fill an area, wait for it to grow and collect the same number of barley. Anyone know what's going on?

PD: I put each barley so near of each others

[merry pebble]

if you put 2 plants too close together one of them dies

[ionic imp]

One week losing plants then xD

Thanks!

[azure yacht]

Which there are.

But people refuse to use them and prefer to use that time to whine and cry about it.

That's just the average valheim community experience

"Game hard"

"You see there's these options to make it easier and let me give you some tips on certain ways you can overcome chall-"

"No no no you didn't hear me? GAEM HARD, Devs made gaem literally unplayable and I want THEM to adapt it TO ME. Tf you would say I should be the one who adapts? Man these gatekeepers and elitism are ruining the game omg smh"

I'm not even joking, that is a very close paraphrasing of how I've seen people behave in this community

[hot fern]

In Valheim parrying has a MUCH bigger window than in Elden Ring, and it's very good for regular monsters -- they take critical (2x) damage when staggered, and a successful parry causes a stagger (not on bosses though). Carry a shield/buckler with the highest parry bonus/base armor you can get and you'll be able to parry almost everything at your level, if not everything depending on your upgrade level.

[ocean hull]

Hi. We played Valheim on and off since the beginning. We last played during Mistlands launch, and have started up again for Ashlands. Super excited for it. One thing we have noticed this time around is the real lack of sea serpeants. I've only seen the ones that spawn at night, and those are even super rare. We've progressed to killing Moder last night, but I've sailed a LOT. I've come across far more leviathans than ever (which are not super useful after a while). The ones I have found (usually by myself, so very difficult to try to get to shore so we can get the scales) are the ones that spawned at night (2 so far), and by the time I can get them to shore, with stam, it turns day, and they tend to get back to water and beeline to despawn.

Are we doing somethign wrong, or just unlucky so far with spawns? I've been able to kill one, because I got it to shore, and there were 10 graydwarfs around to kill it while I get harpooning it to keep it on the shore.

We've sailed for days straight trying to find them, and no luck when my friends are on the server.

[fluid hull]

Sail during storms, thats the only way.. or at night .:/

[shy marlin]

I agree mostly, the only exception is playing on very hard combat difficulty, because you do less damage by default in order to stagger some things reliably you do need some polearm skill, but yes, skills are not essential

[ocean hull]

Skills are not essential, but make things easier. Bows definitely need higher skill to be effective. Draw time is too long without it.

That is one of the few things we've modified with the new system (1% skill drop after death vs. 5%). This allows you to still die periodically without it feeling so punishing. Especially since skill level growth is so hard once you get above a certain level. If you ever die, then it is impossible to progress in skills at 5%.

[ocean hull]

Yeah, we've done a lot of that, and still not seen many (I've come across 3-4 so far with sailing). Hoping by killing moder, we can at least be more effective by having wind mostly at our backs.

[keen cliff]

Hi all, I need to share my tale of oops and sadness: Pre-Bonemass, not much iron gear. Decide to tame wolves to get meat and fur. Get a wolf into a pit and start the taming process at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly get a foul smell from swamp. Uh oh... realize that I stupidly had a Portal, Workbench, and a Campfire, so game sets it as a base and decides to raid me. And while I'm trying to kill everything as fast as I can, they decide to shoot and kill my poor almost tame wolf in the hole. 😦

[fluid hull]

☠️

[keen cliff]

And yes, I really had zero reason to make a campfire there. So dumb.

[fluid hull]

campfires and workbench prevent enemy spawns but at the same time triggers invasions... eye for an eye

[keen cliff]

Afterwards I was chopping down trees in that area and managed to get the attention of 2 drakes up the mountain who almost killed me. lol. It's like a clown show, where I'm the clown.

on the positive side, I found 7 onion seeds up there, and I'm working on getting a full farm of onions going. Granted, I can't do much with onions at the moment.

[fluid hull]

yeah you need to keep upgrading the cauldron or finding new ingredients

[keen cliff]

oh

it's only a level 2 cauldron for onion soup? I think I can make that then

[fluid hull]

if the recipe is unlocked because you have the ingredients, then your current level is enough yes

[keen cliff]

yeah, i wasn't looking at the recipe it gave me yet, since i was screwing around trying to tame that wolf

[nocturne wolf]

Onion soup needs a level 3 cauldron.

[fluid hull]

Then he has a lvl 3 cauldron lol

[keen cliff]

oh snap

[gray sand]

Onion Soup is also a red herring.

[keen cliff]

no, i was looking at the wiki. I think i only have level 2. ie, spice rack

[fluid hull]

Oooh

[keen cliff]

yeah, i don't have any silver yet.

[nocturne wolf]

Wiki says level 3 cauldron

[fluid hull]

the moment you get silver, you'll unlock the next upgrade

[nocturne wolf]

You can unlock the recipe without the right cauldron level

[keen cliff]

yeah, i misread the wiki. I guess I'm going to go slamming staghammer in the mountains for a bit. See if I can find some.

[nocturne wolf]

Or you can kill bonemass?

[keen cliff]

meh

[fluid hull]

You need wood from all the first three biomes plus silver to unlock the next upgrade

[keen cliff]

i'm annoyed at swamps at the moment. And bonemass on my map is kinda far away.

i have tiny swamps with very few crypts. But I have a super close big mountain, and already cleared one Frost Cave. So I'm tackling that right now

[fluid hull]

Yeah swamp is a pain but well bonemass has the best power atm

[keen cliff]

i've only found 3 crypts in 3 swamps so far lol

[fluid hull]

the best way is either to go directly to bonemass's location or sail and find swamps near shores lol

[keen cliff]

2nd swamp i found ended up being a tiny thin swamp right next to a plains

3rd swamp finally had a 3 crypts

eyeing my map again, i really wonder if I missed a crypt in the first swamp I found. It seems big enough really.

[keen cliff]

why is it a red herring?

[gray sand]

Turnip Stew better across multiple metrics.

[keen cliff]

i would probably use both as base food, for planting and such when I don't want to spend real food. I tend to over-plant

as my chests and chest of turnips and carrots would show

valheim is a farming sim, rigth?

as i currently go to harvest from my surtling farm....

[ocean hull]

How is it better across multiple metrics?

[gray sand]

Longer duration + more healing per tick.

In exchange you lose a whopping, massive 5 stamina. 👀

[ocean hull]

When I'm fighting lots of mobs, the 1 hp/tick is not useful. It is better to have every little bit of stam to prevetn stagger and kill the mobs faster.

[gray sand]

Sure.

[ocean hull]

The 5 minutes is easy to overcome by mass farming. Also fewer mats go into making it. Yes, boar meat is easy to get with boar farm. But boat meat also goes into sausages.

I tend to run sausages/turnip stew/onion stew on "easy content"...so stuff I'm geared for, and then onion soup and best health food for the "next zone". We are just now getting to the plains, so been a bit for me to remember what stam food I use after this.

[keen cliff]

i will just eat onion soup, turnip stew, honey, put on my hildr farming clothes, and plant the most crops in one go ever

[ocean hull]

Bread I think is high stam, and then lox pie probably replace turnip/sausages later.

[gray sand]

Bread is another food with ass duration.

||Double meaning of Bread pun 😁||

[keen cliff]

but it's a single farmable ingredient

[ocean hull]

Just for aesthetics, right?

[keen cliff]

just for funsies hehe

[ocean hull]

Bread is 25 min, just like turnip stew

[merry pebble]

25 minutes is perfectly adequate

[ocean hull]

and same healing per tick

[keen cliff]

i'm back playing the game after stopping pre-mistlands, and only a little after the food change. started a new world. it's a different experience.

i don't remember onions in mountains when i did them before

[gray sand]

Plains is when you transition to 30m food timers though 🤷‍♂️

[gray sand]

For some reason I remember it being 20m.
My bad.

[merry pebble]

you have one 30 minute food in mountains.... and 2 in plains....

[gray sand]

Outside of Jerky?

[ocean hull]

meh, with rested bonus not really lasting that long. We typically run back to base to offload inventory, and can easily eat again. I prefer easy to get foods (mostly single-source) vs. multi-tier foods. Farmable foods are the best to me, as it limits the amount of running around I need to do.

[merry pebble]

precisely the jerky

[keen cliff]

how many standing braziers minimum for a draugr farm? anyone know?

[gray sand]

Jerky sucks though?

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️ if you think it sucks or not is not relevant

[gray sand]

Total stat on Wolf Jerky is 66, which is worse than Black Soup, for reference.

[keen cliff]

all farmable for wolf jerky however

FARMING SIM lol

[timid sun]

It's a really good food that's easy to make and useable for less intense activities. Or also intense activties if you don't suffer from skill issue

[merry pebble]

and if you want to talk about transitioning to 30 minut food then it would be mistlands, since there is 3 normal and 1 eitr 30 minut foods

[timid sun]

I think at the time I'd be using wolf jerky I'd be using sausages still then onion soup/turnip stew (if I have excess boar meat at the time)

[merry pebble]

i also dont really use it, but that doesent mean it does not exist

[ebon siren]

yeah and black soup lasts 20 mins, which means its benefits decay significantly faster, so I'll be using wolf jerky thnx

[heady parcel]

Pardon a quick question - I recently returned to Valheim after a break for a few months - is it just me or has the rate at which beehives produce honey been reduced?

[merry pebble]

i dont think there has been much (if any) changes to that

[heady parcel]

Right thanks. I'm on a trip and started a new solo world, I might be remembering things wrong but in the past I think the hives were full after one full day cycle, but now it seems they produce one honey a day. Might be that I had it accelerated by accident previously? Or I'm just remembering things wrong... No matter, I'll just need to find more bees 😄

[merry pebble]

i am fairly certain it was never full hive per day 😄 if you have messed with devcommands you could have set the time to progress faster but i think you would have noticed that 🙂

[keen cliff]

lol wandering in the meadows, chopping fine wood. attacked by a boar. hit him... suddenly think wow he's big. and that's how i got a 2 star boar in a pit right now, with 10% health left lol

[merry pebble]

Nice 😄

[dense igloo]

it was yeah, but have changed

[jagged wind]

[keen cliff]

yeah, but this is the same pit where my wolf died. so i gotta be smart this time lol

[merry pebble]

that must have been changed pretty long time ago then 🤔

definetly more than the few moths they were on a break

on wiki the line "A beehive takes approximately 20 minutes to produce one honey" was added at February 18th 2021, so at least that long

[hearty niche]

Following up days later hahah - awesome that's who I was looking at. They look to be among the more expensive hosts but it looks like the reliability and performance they offer is worth the extra few bucks.

Thank you

[keen cliff]

okay, tossed some carrots into the hole, put a roof over it to protect the 2star boar. and now i wait

and realize getting it back to my base is going to be a pita, since i don't have harpoon yet

[merry pebble]

you could make a coridor with fences and after you breed some boars just push them, or pull them if you get harpoon in meantime

[keen cliff]

might have to build the very long fenced path and do some pushing

i might just sail and go build the harpoon. i shouldn't have made the level 3 abyssal dagger i guess hah

getting the harpoon will make getting him up into the breeding tower way easier too. worth it

[foggy glacier]

just a reminder, even after tamed, if he's a boar from the runestone, he'll always try to go back there.

might be easier to get yourself a couple of 2* piggies and bring them back.

[keen cliff]

no runestone around where i found him, i think. But i will definitely consider breeding there just to be safe. hate for an accident to happen and lose him

he's in a covered pit, with a workbench nearby. so i think he's good for now

i can take this opportunity to level my stealth around him. heh

[charred radish]

Hello guys i have one question. I have Old saved, and in gamę we have a lot of content like new island. If i would go to new content i must create a new world?

[foggy glacier]

I've always found it easier to make them chase me back to my base rather than building a kilometers-long chute.

[keen cliff]

absolutely. but i made it tricky by almost kiling him first. granted, i think it's just meadows back to my base, so nothing should have attacked him.... anyways, i'm in the situation i am, so just gotta make the most of it. maybe if he gets to full health and isn't tamed yet, i can consider letting him out and chasing me back

gotta figure out what is safest. i think getting a harpoon is a priority

[ornate sigil]

It is better to make a new world with every major(biome) update, but usually not required. If you load your world and a lot of odd thing happen (like floating islands), then definitely make a new world.

[foggy glacier]

agreed. if he's safe in a hole now, leave him and get your harpoon. so much easier to get him home then.

[keen cliff]

i've never actually used the harpoon before. it works on tame creatures yeah?

[gray sand]

If you like hurting your precious babies.. yes 😭

[keen cliff]

yeah, that part sucks. do i have to mess with settings and turn on pvp first? or does it work as is?

[foggy glacier]

You need to turn on friendly fire.

[keen cliff]

got it, thanks

another question. will a tame boar attack a wild boar?

and opposite

[ember kraken]

No, same creatures never attack each others.

[keen cliff]

ok good. because i think my plan is to get another boar into that same pit, tame it too, then have them breed

[gray sand]

*Other than humans.

😉😋

[ember kraken]

If you attack a human, then you're a monster, and not a human, so it works!

[gray sand]

That's a very... generalized conclusion.

[heady parcel]

Nah I know what it is - I'm used to playing on a dedicated server, so time would progress even if I was not on myself. Gotta find a good secluded spot to go afk instead of shutting down the game hahah

[merry pebble]

Ah, yeah that might be it 😄

[naive moat]

Guys me and a few of my mates are gonna start valheim together

How does the tutorial crow work. Do we all get it seperate?

[merry pebble]

yep, you all get your own Hugin 😄

[naive moat]

guys i cant run the server on a diff pc and play valheim from a diff pc

on the same steam account. it says that im logged in on a diff computer

[livid widget]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[naive moat]

thanks all good now

also when i first joined the game, the crow told me to like pick up sticks and stuff and make a crafting table, house, etc. but for my friends the crow just told them something about killing enemies

[gray badge]

what are those islands called in the ocean where you can mine some stuff? i believe they dissapear after mining

or im i tripping?

[plush umbra]

leviathans

[gray badge]

ahh

[slender rover]

They submerge after you whack their barnacles a bunch with pickaxes

[gray badge]

yea those!

any idea what they are called on valheim-map?

[plush umbra]

the seed viewer web tool? leviathans

[merry pebble]

also leviathans i believe

[gray badge]

hmm

got em! thanks

[merry pebble]

they should be under miscellaneous

[gray badge]

yep

[plush umbra]

yea i just looked, they're not their own category anymore

sorry 😅

think they had their own thing last time i actively used it...or it's possible i'm misremembering

[gray badge]

yea their under misc 😄

[merry pebble]

they had 🙂 lots of changes were made when ashlands came out

[nova crystal]

anyone interested in playing hardcore server with me and my friend?

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[burnt glen]

is there a command to make it day and keep it day?

[plush umbra]

kind of
tod 0.5 makes it fake noon for the rest of the session or until you enter tod -1

time still continues to pass while a tod is set, but the lighting and enemy spawns will pretend it's the time you set it to until you leave the world or reset the tod

0 and 1 are midnight, anything between those are different points in the day

[merry pebble]

oh? even enemy spawns abide by it?

[plush umbra]

hmmm, iirc, i could be wrong though.
it's definitely muddled in multiplayer, since tod is client-side

[merry pebble]

good to know 😄

[burnt glen]

that's what I was looking for, thank you 😃

[nova crystal]

yeah, dead af though

[merry pebble]

it sometimes takes a few hours to get a reply 🙂

[ornate sigil]

woot, my 30 in game days of sailing netted me 1 grouper fish jumping into my boat🐟 . wasn't originally doing it for that reason but kinda a fun surprise. I wanted to map out the majority of the larger land masses in my world via circling them with the boat...and im not even close to done. my guess is something like 5-8%.

[grand ravine]

now get 3 more! i expect you to have a fishing hat by the time you're done

[ornate sigil]

for the hat, i would need more than 3...I think I have only caught bass, pike and this grouper. would need like 4 more species and the one in ashlands is aparently bugged....so that's gana be tough.

[grand ravine]

welllll, imean as long as they're jumping in your boat...
4 of each species. 7 of each for max quality

i havent tried for magmafish yet. we have one that washed up on shore though, so im 25% there!

[ornate sigil]

from the top of my head, the "needed" list: magma, frostcave, angeler, puffer, coral cod, grouper, troll, pike and bass....i think thats most/all of em'.

[grand ravine]

so far on our fishing hat sidequest, the most difficult/annoying part is the serpent trohies for heavy bait

[ornate sigil]

I would imagine. lots of night/storm ocean voyages would be needed.

[frail roost]

Such are the cycles of Valheim

[keen cliff]

i found trollfish just flopping on rocks. guess there was a storm, high water, and then low tide left them just sitting there

[ornate sigil]

that happens sometimes. enjoy it when it happens.

[keen cliff]

the 30 minute taming counter resets completely if you leave?

[ornate sigil]

saves you time on trying to craft the bait and reel one in.

[ornate sigil]

only for eggs from hens AFAIK

[keen cliff]

i really don't want to spend the night out here near these guys, and have some archers spawn and kill them

okay, i'm going to leave, sleep, and come back

[ornate sigil]

bring extra food if you sleep

[keen cliff]

i dropped half a stack in there

[ornate sigil]

they will eat it all*

[keen cliff]

oh those piggies

[ornate sigil]

keep your half for when you come back, or it will all be gone.

[keen cliff]

good to know, thanks

[ornate sigil]

np.

[vocal rivet]

They'll only eat what they need.

[ornate sigil]

I thought they would eat and not gain any tame(ness) if you weren't close? especially if you slept though the night.

[vocal rivet]

If you're not close literally nothing will happen. If you're within range, they'll eat 3 pieces of food each (one per 10 minutes).

[ornate sigil]

hmm...was operating (again) under a misconception. I really should reread the wiki on common topics.

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming#Taming

[keen cliff]

i tamed the 2 star boar without spending the night near it. so it feels like you can break up the 30 minutes

it's probably more time and food efficient to do it in one single 30 minute go

[vocal rivet]

Taming will pause when you're not in range, yes, but they'll start a new 10 minute period.

[keen cliff]

and i already had tame 1 star boars, but still. it's the completionist in me 🙂

and i missed it, but they are tame and already pumping out babies

[analog mirage]

im kinda confused on how tamed animals (boars) behave, I have a big enclosure for my 2 star boars (circle enclosed around a level 5 workbench)
and the dang boars dont seem all that interested in staying close to each other to make more boars :p
even after eating

[keen cliff]

They won't breed if there are too many in the space. That's why the breeding tower exists. It keep the pair away from all the others.

[clever saffron]

I died and forgot to save when I got off and my grave is not there

Someone help

[surreal falcon]

I'm not sure if it's helpful, but you could devcommand the items your corpse should have back in

Are you sure you're at the graveside?

[vocal rivet]

If the game didn't save before they logged out there wouldn't be one.

[clever saffron]

I went to where I died but the death symbol is not on my map and there is no grave

Is the only way to get it back by cheating

[tepid prawn]

you could check if there is a character backup from before you died, load the last char save before the death one?

[clever saffron]

Thanks

[surreal falcon]

I guess I got lucky. I ragequit as I died once and the gravestone survived

[vocal rivet]

It's a weird situation. Obviously the grave is part of the world save and the location marker on your map is part of your character save so there can be a disconnect sometimes depending on when crashes / log outs occurred.

[light gale]

Anyone know when this Ashlands patch is releasing? I’ve been waiting for over a week now, however the update has been on PTB for over 3 weeks total

[vocal rivet]

Over a week, oh no. Honestly, that isn't long. Especially with the team on vacation for the last month.

[tepid prawn]

no one knows except the devs and they will communicate it when it comes out like usual, if you're impatient for the changes in the version just plauy PTB

[trail lotus]

your totaly tripping 😈 🤣

[light gale]

Don’t have to be passive aggressive. I was simply wondering.

[tepid prawn]

Leviathan is the official name and yes they sink after mining for a certain amount of time

[vocal rivet]

Eh, it's a percentage chance every mine hit.

[trail lotus]

the leviathan will start to sink when they make the second noise

[distant field]

I’ve heard and read so many different theories about how they (and Flametal spires) work…

[vocal rivet]

Eh, I just go by what actually happens. No need for theories.

[tepid prawn]

Flametal spires don't sink anymore on current PTB version (could be changed again etc. and I'm still getting the floating bug)

[distant field]

I wasn’t doubting you. I assume what you said is based on what the code says.

[distant field]

Yeah, I was referring to the non-PTB version of them.

[tepid prawn]

maybe working the same as Leviathan, just a guess, so a chance to sink with continous hits

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, they're basically retextured Leviathans. The bugs are the same with the standard ones, it's just not as critical in water as it is in lava.

[hot bolt]

All my pigs got out of my pen, is there a way to get them back in?

[light gale]

abyssal harpoon @hot bolt

[analog mirage]

the area is huge but they seem to have really weird roam patterns

[grand ravine]

you don't want the breeders to roam, trap them in a small space. you want the bavies roaming, or dropping down from a breeding tower. ideal is 2-5 close together with food, all the rest you want more than 10m away from those. i use a tower 12m high that babies drop from.

to get started you can just have a separate pen that you can push babies into, but the tower system works really well. i just put it up on 2-4 corewood poles (each being three 4m poles stacked)

[keen cliff]

yeah, they want to go to the corners and edges it looks like? I spent the time to build a breeding tower, and it works great. I just managed to get it setup with 2star boars, and the underpen is now filling up with 2star piggies nicely. highly recommended

i'm thinking of expanding my boar tower to also do wolves. easier to build once you have the first one up

[tepid prawn]

I'm trying to tame the newest creature now, bit tricky haha

[grand ravine]

i have 3 boars, 3 wolves, 2 egg-chickens in my newer tower. i have a different one to grow hens and then drop them into a pufferfish

[grand ravine]

i haven't done that yet 😬

[tepid prawn]

did it in my first Ashlands run but now I never have starred ones spawn since I prepared the "pen" anywhere near it

[grand ravine]

i have pens set up in a fort, but haven't gone looking for any to not-kill yet

[tepid prawn]

I leave fort doors intact so I can't do it inside it I guess

[grand ravine]

me too. i broke the second one and decided...nope, i like going over the wall.
i plan on just riding them up stairs over the wall and dropping them into a hole in the floor-roof

[tepid prawn]

don't need to do that just wait until they breed twice then carry them in

[grand ravine]

🤔 good point!

anyway, i dug one small pit for breeders and a bigger one in the opposite corner with a fire on a marble pillar

[keen cliff]

auto-killing is awesome. that's great. 🙂

my guy is still in early iron age, sneaking into mountain for stuff like clearing a frost cave and finding onions. and hopefully taming some wolves. trying to setup a bunch of farms, but killing things with braziers takes resources i don't have right now

[grand ravine]

my new solo run just got iron. now i have to pick a spot to set up a real base away from spawn 😬....eyeing a smallish meadows spot that borders forest, swamp, mountain, and plains. hoping to find a 2star boar nearby though. once i get more iron I'll poke around a little more. if i can pull off a 2star boar in that little meadows patch, i might just have to set up there.

[grand ravine]

sidenote, while digging i discovered you can undermine the center tower and leave that door intact too

[tepid prawn]

I usually destroy the top and then built inside staircase

One of the fortresses that is my main base I've build all the floor into Grausten as well, coming together nicely, still haven't build a non fortress base in the ashlands haha

[grand ravine]

with ram? i was hoping to keep the top intact and use it to support roof. donno if that'll work yet though. but i squared tiles to the edge at wall height and filled the whole thing with 4x4 floors, so now it's just a big bunker

[tepid prawn]

just the metal grates at the top with demolisher

[grand ravine]

i did a small raised-earth portal base where we hit land, but otherwise it's all forts lol. they're just too good not to

[tepid prawn]

you save a lot of time and its decently big enough for a smaller base, comes with so much indestructibles its insane

[grand ravine]

i do wish i could turn one into a garden

[grand ravine]

yes. when i was digging i found you can fit 3-4 4m high storeys in them

before extending above the wall, imean

[keen cliff]

With a coastline for a dock?

[grand ravine]

yep

[tepid prawn]

finding base locations that are absolutely amazing in all sort of ways is one of the things that drives my exploration affinity, like a swamp base with a shore for a dock and 2 surtling spawners within 12m, an amazing hill on a big mountain that has everything, overlooking a plains and a swamp etc. its just the best

[grand ravine]

yeah. i just don't wanna set up there and then find something more perfect an hour later XD ...i can portal for a lot of things, but... like if there are lox wolves and boar nearby, then I'm kinda set

[tardy coral]

Has anyone ever used the better continents mod?

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[jagged wind]

Eikthyr neck

[eternal raven]

U can try #mods-discussion

[tardy coral]

Tried already, but doubt someone'll answer

[eternal raven]

Yeah I guess so

[tepid pike]

give it a few hours .. it's a quiet time of day rn

[ornate sigil]

If they have, you would likely find then talking about it here:https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[analog mirage]

so. make 2 tower 8m high and 2x2 m and shove a boar in there through pushing, then just throw me a stack of food and let em drop babies bellow?

[proper edge]

is there any certain moder attacks i should be aware of?

and what arrows is worth for moder?

[keen cliff]

Yeah. I have a boar tower setup. Was just replying to that other guy. Piggies falling from the sky is always hilarious to me. Welcome to the world! Enjoy your 12m drop!

[merry pebble]

obsidian or needle if you have them

[keen cliff]

Oh, you are the other guy lol. I would encourage you to follow a YouTube video or other tutorial to create the boar tower. It sucks to screw it up.

[sharp bluff]

poison works best iirc

[proper edge]

is needle better? ihave abt 110 will that be enough

[merry pebble]

it does most total dmg, but over time and for it to do all the dmg you need to wait for the poison after every arrow, obsidian and needle you can spam as you wish 🙂

[merry pebble]

it does more dmg, yes

[proper edge]

needle sounds like the move

would fire be good for reserve arrows too?

[sharp bluff]

no, she is weak to fire but the base dmg is simply too low

[proper edge]

ohhh okay

[merry pebble]

sure, but around 200 arrows should be more than enough 🙂 if you have 110 needle i would take another 100 obsidian

[proper edge]

ok ill work for that, is it a hard fight im nervous

[merry pebble]

for the first time it can be, but the biggest challange is how buggy Moder can be 😄

[proper edge]

oh god 😭

[gray sand]

Poison needs a rework 😭

[merry pebble]

why? it works just fine

[gray sand]

This is not a description of "fine".

[merry pebble]

if it would stack it would be too op

[proper edge]

also what attacks should i look out for in moder

[gray sand]

I don't want it to stack.

[merry pebble]

its fine for anything that isnt boss

[gray sand]

I didn't say I wanted it to stack.
I said it needs a rework.

[gray sand]

No. It's fine for anything you can actively choose to shoot very, very slowly and then wait.

Frost is the same damage, but 100% upfront.

[merry pebble]

so you want it to be instant dmg... that doesent make sense with poison

[gray sand]

That, again, is not at all what I said.

[merry pebble]

the has barrage of ice projectiles when she is in the air and frost breath when on the ground

[crisp portal]

I don't know what to do with charred bones... I don't think it is worth wasting ashwood to make arrows. any suggestions?!

[merry pebble]

you should dodge those

[proper edge]

thank u sm

[crisp portal]

Or are arrows the only usage for those?

(Other than some building and crafting)

[merry pebble]

also heavy armor, bow, axes, mace, sword, and 2 staves+throne and upgrade for black forge

[opal prairie]

Ashwood is easy to get though, so using it for arrows isn't a big deal in my opinion.
If you have a shield generator use it for that and the rest can easily be turned into coal with the obliterator.

[merry pebble]

i mean, is there any use for materials other than that? XD

[crisp portal]

So coal it is... Their drop is too abundant and because of that, annoying (there should really be a filter to not pick certain items...)

[crisp portal]

I discovered by accident I could use charred bones there, I was using regular ones

[naive moat]

Guys I saw some guide online about optimizing FPS and one of them was some command line arguments to make valheim use more than one core or something. Does this still need to be done and how do you do it?

[merry pebble]

i dont really have any problem with fps, i just adjusted the default settings a little and im good

[peak condor]

Down to 20 fps 😄 Too many pieces

[crisp portal]

Light sources (not the infinite ones) and companions consumes the most, tho.

[peak condor]

Hello there!

[frigid gust]

It has minimal impact any more. Your biggest boosts will be from adjusting point lights, shadows, and render scaling.

[azure yacht]

How do you know you didn't unlock all the recipes?

[frigid gust]

What recipes are you expecting? You might need to make some things from the iron that will enable building other stuff

Assuming you've smelted it. Also make sure you've made the forge upgrade items.

[nocturne wolf]

Any swamp weapon should be good for wraiths

[distant field]

You need to have ‘seen’ every ingredient of a recipe before it will appear. Which includes having access to the required crafting level.

[nocturne wolf]

What level is your forge? You are able to get it to level 3 with black forest materials

[distant field]

Bottom line: whenever you get a new material, prioritise crafting upgrades.

[proper edge]

ohhhh my god guys i finally got fenris armour after a literal week of looking for the cultist trophy

[frigid gust]

All items have minimum craft station levels, and higher level items usually have higher requirements. You also enable more upgrades of your equipment when you upgrade your stations.

[distant field]

I am still hunting for a trophy for myself. How many caves did you have to clear out?

[proper edge]

13 😭

[distant field]

Oof. Did you, like me, have all the other parts of the set fully upgraded ages ago?

[proper edge]

yes!!!

[nocturne wolf]

No, you can get the required level with any possible combination of improvements

[proper edge]

all level 4

[distant field]

Nice. Same all at level 4. I’m really looking forward to getting a trophy so I can finally make the hood. I think I have enough fur to get it levelled all the way up immediately.

[proper edge]

thats the same for me, trust the grind is worth it

good luck!

[distant field]

Funny thing is, I am way past that gear tier.

[proper edge]

what biome are you?

[merry pebble]

just fyi, once you have iron you can make most af the remaining upgrades for the forge 😄 (exept one, you need chain for it)

iron mace if possible 😄 it will also be great for boss

but i am bit confused, if you have iron why would you make a bronze weapon?

[gray sand]

Best way to train Swords 😉

Until they make a Wood Sword. ⚔️

[merry pebble]

oh yeah, for training skills why not 😄

[distant field]

We’ve reached Ashlands, but not done much there yet. Not sure we’re going to do much more even. Haven’t played as a group for a while. 😔

[proper edge]

ahh that sucks. hope it all gets back together

[crimson cradle]

finally made portals to the black forest, this is gonna save so much time

[distant field]

Yeah. Hopefully when the PTB changes roll out. In whatever final form they take.

[keen cliff]

Once you start making a bunch of portals, it's a game changer. I have a note where I track all the portals. You end up wanting a dedicated portal building 🙂

[crimson cradle]

holy jesus i just got raided

no preparation at all

there were like 500 greydwarves

[grand ravine]

hmm. i mark portals on map with the bottom icon. when i only want to see potrals i turn the other markers off.

[merry pebble]

if you keep killing them they keep respawning for the duration of the raid 🙂

[crimson cradle]

i dont want them to destroy my house though

[merry pebble]

oh i am not saying you should not kill them 😄 i am just letting you know how raids work, also it might be a good idea to make some sort of fortification 😉

[crimson cradle]

good idea

i was eyeing the stakewalls earlier but i noticed they cost so much wood

[merry pebble]

oh wood is pretty easy to get 😄

[crimson cradle]

yeah but its annoying

i'll have to cause mass deforestation if i wanna enclose my whole base in stakewalls

[merry pebble]

oh boy, you might want to turn the drops up then, there will be much more annoying stuff in the future XD

[crimson cradle]

i only get around 20 wood per tree so

if even that

[grand ravine]

it's worth it. even if you only enclose your house. and before you kill forest boss you definitely want walls, at least 5m away from your house

[crimson cradle]

ive already killed eikthyr

i didnt know something changed after killing him

[grand ravine]

yes that's meadows boss. before the next one you really should put up a wall.

[merry pebble]

killing each boss enables and disables certain raids 🙂

[crimson cradle]

i need to start progress on getting to the elder

i'm a good deal strong and so is my friend so i was thinking of making the journey there and setting up a mini camp with a portal

[keen cliff]

i put up stakewalls, but then just bit the bullet and did the moat. course i had found a good permanent base location at that point

[grand ravine]

if its annoying you, use world modifiers to bump up resource drop rate to 1.5x. but, chopping a lot will save you time, effort, and headache in the end.

[crimson cradle]

i'll do that

also, what do ancient seeds do

[merry pebble]

summon elder

[crimson cradle]

that's it???

[merry pebble]

yep, you need 3 for him

[crimson cradle]

ah

what is his forsaken power

i really hope its combat oriented

[merry pebble]

faster cutting wood 😄

[grand ravine]

even better 🙂

[crimson cradle]

awww come on thats terrible

[merry pebble]

3rd bosses power is combat oriented tho 😉

[crimson cradle]

yippee

[grand ravine]

you really are going to want a lot of wood. for the whole game.

[crimson cradle]

i have like 200 stored]

[hidden gorge]

he said a lot

[crimson cradle]

but its mainly used for base upgrades

i don't take it out for much other than that

[hidden gorge]

although, tbf elder's power is absolutely awful

[merry pebble]

thats VERY little wood tbh 😄

[grand ravine]

i have 2-6 boxes on hand, always. and if I'm starting a new project, i chop wood for that beforehand. never run out of wood. and 200 wood is pretty much "out"

[crimson cradle]

who's the third boss

[merry pebble]

bonemass

[crimson cradle]

is it the skeleton guy in the stones

ohh it is

does his ability let me shoot bones or something

ive always wanted a bone gun

[grand ravine]

ehhmmm ...

[merry pebble]

thats 5th boss 😉

[crimson cradle]

oh so theres 2 bone bosses????

so its the fat guy in the stones?

[distant field]

Bonemass is more mass than bone

[crimson cradle]

i wonder what the fiery guy does

[crimson cradle]

awww wait do i get to fight a lich hell yeah

[grand ravine]

first, chop some wood XD

[merry pebble]

bonemass is the one between slenderman and dragon 😄

[grand ravine]

you want a wall before you fight second boss

[crimson cradle]

i'll get to that

[distant field]

You also want a wall before you fight a troll. Well, a wall and a moat.

[crimson cradle]

ive fought a few trolls actually

theyre pretty easy to kill with a finewood bow

[distant field]

And the only raid you’ve had is grey dwarves?

[crimson cradle]

ive only been raided once

[distant field]

Ok…

[merry pebble]

trolls can come only after killing elder and troll, so they are fine for now 🙂

[crimson cradle]

there were greydwarves, a couple brutes, and a lot of shamans

[grand ravine]

eventually they come to your house for tea and biscuits. more than one. walls are good.

[wary token]

… looking at the 3 black metal chests I keep filled with 3,000 wood, just for arrow/bolt/projectile production.

Ya, 200 isn’t really going to last, @crimson cradle

[distant field]

Ah.

[crimson cradle]

BOLT? aw hell yeah theres crossbows?

[grand ravine]

yeah but you need 5 kinds of wood first. XD

[distant field]

Oh yes. And they’re good.

[wary token]

And ballistas

[crimson cradle]

i got corewood, finewood, and wood wood

i dunno if theres anything else the bronze axe can cut

i havent tried oak

[merry pebble]

oak gives fine and normal

[crimson cradle]

oh i thought it was just birch

[merry pebble]

there will be new wood type in swamps and then mistlands

[crimson cradle]

ive only explored and found the black forest, but i havent tried going that far east actually

[distant field]

The swamp wood isn’t really new wood.

[grand ravine]

lol

[distant field]

Ashlands adds a wood type too

[merry pebble]

its not even technically wood, thats true 😄 but for the sake of simplicity lets call it that

[distant field]

Oh, I see what you mean. I was thinking of the other thing. That’s useful for building.

[crimson cradle]

are there any enemies that are bigger than trolls

i was just thinking that cause trolls are massive

but the map is so big there has to be something

[merry pebble]

hmm... maybe one in swamp, eqvivalent size in mountains, bit smaller in plains and after that all the way in ashlands, if we dont count bosses obviously

[crimson cradle]

wait whos the biggest boss

i know eikthyr is huge for a deer

[merry pebble]

tallest would be Elder i think, biggest? not sure ||(tho i think Yag could compete if he still had all his parts intact XD)||

[crimson cradle]

oh really

[keen cliff]

... your momma?

[crimson cradle]

i'll have to look at a picture of the elder then

[grand ravine]

every time my buddy raises skeles i name one "ur mom"

[crimson cradle]

yknow what, the elder kinda looks like a bracken

[livid widget]

kraken?

[vocal rivet]

Certainly not a kraken.

[hidden gorge]

bracken is a type of fern -- I suppose there's some similarity there, but a bit of a stretch IMO. Tree or Ent is what springs to my mind, personally

[gray sand]

Idk, to me Elder looks like a head mounted on a stone 😉

[ornate sigil]

Of all things, the Elder doesn't look like a "elder"...no grey twigs(hair).

[gray sand]

He's beyond that.

After grey you go to no hair.
Then your skin petrifies and you become wood.

[keen cliff]

except when you get older, you stop getting wood as easily

[vocal rivet]

Elder is literally a type of tree.

[feral venture]

The elder kinda look like a tree ngl

[distant field]

That’s ‘alder’.

[vocal rivet]

That's a different tree.

[distant field]

(I’m being facetious (well, facetious is perhaps the wrong word), before you respond to me as if I’m being serious… oh… too late)

[ornate sigil]

But that brings to question where the 😋berries (sambucus) are...(mostly a joke)

[clever saffron]

Why are random parts of my builds getting the health to 1

[merry pebble]

could be rain, but they should go only to 50% health, you could also have eitr refinery nearby, it damages the suroundings, if its not black marble or iron cage for example

[trail lotus]

rain damage stop at half durability

[merry pebble]

that is what i said, yes

[fair cairn]

ROCKET MAN!

[quick mountain]

Somebody from Poland would Play?

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[ashen kayak]

yo the level 4 wood club is soo good

[merry pebble]

it is, tho you need bronze to get it to that lvl

[keen cliff]

i had such a good time with the upgraded flint spear initially

trolls fear it

[dapper totem]

no way i got a troll outside a cave and one inside

[dapper totem]

fr

[keen cliff]

nice! I remember the time I found a new troll cave, excitedly went in to kill it... and no troll. I was so disappointed.

[dapper totem]

i think i took ur troll lmao 😭

[keen cliff]

lol

[dapper totem]

hes kinda hit or miss tho bc sometimes he'll be in the corner again and ill get him with a backstab and sometimes hes so close to the entrance that he pushes me out

[grand ravine]

i just had like 7 empty troll caves in a row. now that i no longer need, I'm seeinh trolls everywhere. game is rigged.

btw why don't we have troll rugs?? i would love those

[keen cliff]

i agree. i have a chest full of troll hide, and nothing to do with it anymore

i would have more, but i stopped bothering to kill them

[lunar sapphire]

-# Just a reminder to share trolls with other players. Thank you

😄

[keen cliff]

i'm guessing a troll skin rubg isn't very comfortable 🙂

[grand ravine]

its supposed to be supple. i want my troll rugs!

[nocturne wolf]

It’s comfortable enough to wear but won’t work as a rug?

[keen cliff]

good point!

[ornate sigil]

Plaster it on all exterior walls and make em' rainproof.

[grand ravine]

i want troll rugs and troll roofs. to match my blue torches. kthx.

[hidden gorge]

I see we've got a teenager here that doesn't want to clean up their room

[ornate sigil]

I can hear my viking singing " I'm blue " by eifel 65 with so much blue...

[grand ravine]

it'll just get dirty again, so what's the point...?

[grand ravine]

that'll be stuck in my head for a week now. thx.

[keen cliff]

btw, i just updated the fandom wiki. I was able to make onion soup with a level 2 cauldron. it was saying level 3

[lunar sapphire]

Probably best to run that through a few people before updating outright 😛

Just in case

[keen cliff]

well, it's a wiki. if someone is like, no you're wrong, they can change it back

but i haven't got any silver yet, only spice rack, and i can make onion soup

[merry pebble]

if you go to id:customize you can click on "i want to help with valheim wiki" and it will give you access to a channel where there are people who edit the wiki 🙂

[keen cliff]

oh, neat. i didn't realize there's a process for that here

i went and got access to that channel and let them know. thanks

okay, enough of this "work" thing. Switched to personal laptop and time to play some Valheim.

i found a new swamp not too far away by boat. time get disappointed by the lack of crypts again

lol i went to my boat... and some fish was just lying in it. nice. of course it's foggy. so scrap this plan for the day...

[keen cliff]

gotta love a new swamp, where you spend time leveling land with your hoe to make paths everywhere and piss off the leeches

[dense tide]

is it the only way to discord items is just throw out on the floor and let it despawn?

[keen cliff]

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

[gray sand]

Find Haldor.
Buy Thunderstone.

Build trash can.

[dense tide]

does trees respawn after leaving stump?

[merry pebble]

nope, you have to replant them

[keen cliff]

if you use an bronze axe as a weapon against an abomination, is that slash? or chop?

i'm guessing it's slash

[nocturne wolf]

Axes have slash and chop damage, but the chop damage isn’t shown in the inventory

[keen cliff]

ahhhhh

thanks. gonna activate with fire arrows, then iron buckler+axe to melee. wish me luck. I don't have their attack pattern really down yet

phew, got him. though i should have rolled rather than trying to parry. that didn't work so good

[grand ravine]

if you have turnip foods and health pots then you should have room for an oops or three

[keen cliff]

i have not made health pots yet for some dumb reason. but i went at him with turnip stew, black soup, and sausages

[nocturne wolf]

Even with black forest stuff they aren’t that bad. Definitely easier than fighting a troll with meadows equipment

[keen cliff]

i dunno man. i get trolls attacks much easier than abominations. just more experience with trolls i guess

[grand ravine]

depending on what else comes out of the woodwork while you're chasing it maybe

[keen cliff]

i had cleared everything in the area mostly, since i was hoe-ing a bunch. though a blob scared the crap out of me just as i finished off the abomination

[grand ravine]

iswear half the time they just book it toward the nearest ocean

[keen cliff]

yeah, this was a wide open area, so i think the pathing was super easy for him to get to me

[nocturne wolf]

You should try using 2 stamina food since you’re using a buckler, the shield that works best for stamina diets

You’ll be able to get even more damage and move a lot more

[timid sun]

Not always the issue but if you hit them and they can't path towards you they will generally flee

[grand ravine]

omgomg. i need to harpoon one and trap it in my base. this is a thing i must do.

[keen cliff]

okay, so i have 25 roots now. maybe i should try to replace troll tunic? bleh. it's level 4 though... let me look at stats

[nocturne wolf]

Make sure it’s spawned by a storm, not by night. Serpents spawned by night despawn at day

[gray sand]

If you make just the Hat you have poison resist without needing meads.

[timid sun]

That's something I've never tried 🤔

[keen cliff]

my current loadout is level 4 iron hat, level 4 troll tunic, level 4 iron pants, level 4 troll cape

[gray sand]

Holds in nausea at mixing armor pieces.

[keen cliff]

hahaha i know, so unfashionable

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need the cape if you don’t have the full set, it’s a wasted inventory slot
But you can keep it if you like how it looks

[keen cliff]

but the cape is some armor?

[timid sun]

Root Harnesk actually looks pretty sick mixed in with other sets

[grand ravine]

yeah hat first. you can pretty much roll without meads then until bonemass

[nocturne wolf]

Not much (4?)

[keen cliff]

let me see. it's defnitely going to be an armor hit if i lose the iron hat...

[keen cliff]

yeah, 4 armor

[devout plinth]

how do i find people to play with?

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[grand ravine]

yeah and helm is generally the only heavy piece that doesn't give -% movement speed. root mask still worth in swamps though.

[timid sun]

Agreed

[keen cliff]

root mask is 22 roots to max out, which i can do if i use all roots. 14 armor. so i'd lose 6 armor, but gain poison resist and fire weakness

[grand ravine]

put on iron helm and drink a pot when you fight bonemass tho

[nocturne wolf]

Since you already spent all that iron on the helmet it isn’t worth it, make the harnesk for the pierce resistance which is useful against later biomes and bosses

[timid sun]

Fight him naked to assert dominance

[grand ravine]

or this. with a knife.

[keen cliff]

yeah... i think that's a good idea. and i'd actually gain 2 armor swapping out the troll tunic

fight bonemass with bonfires? 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

A mace works best, even a level 1 iron mace is good enough

[timid sun]

I did fight him recently, almost solo... Friends were dead most of the fight... With a knife. It was not fast, but otherwise knives are definitely some of the best weapons all the way through Mistlands

[keen cliff]

yeah, i have a level 3 iron mace right now. if i can get some chains, i'll upgrade it

[grand ravine]

you have to go stand on top of the bofire after every knife hit you make, and give a warcry. bonemass is not allowed to touch the ceremonial bonfire though.

them's the rules.

[grand ravine]

XD which knife? razor?

[keen cliff]

oh my god, i have such mismatched armor. And I just got: She's hot on your tail!
for the first time

[timid sun]

I'll use the abyssal until black metal

But, can also not even bother upgrading to black metal and just continue to use abyssal.

[keen cliff]

i wish i had some kinda hand grenade to lob down at them. they are just running around my moat...

[grand ravine]

how do you feel about skoll and hati

[timid sun]

No shield 😦 no thanks

[nocturne wolf]

Make ooze bombs

[keen cliff]

looks like skeletons are poison immune

[grand ravine]

hmmm ooze bombs? idk if ive tried those on burny skele

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need to hide behind a shield, just kill things

[grand ravine]

yeahhhh, for me that was a major "yeah, BUT..."

[nocturne wolf]

A shield slows you down anyway

[timid sun]

Don't need to, but certainly makes things easier. Not sure why I'd purposefuly choose the more difficult option

[grand ravine]

axes, however....axes...

(hugs berserkir axes)

[nocturne wolf]

2 handed weapons usually have high damage to make up for this so it’s not any more difficult, you just need to play differently.

I often use 1h without a shield for the speed

[timid sun]

Typically slower unless the damage is enough to stagger. Getting that sweet parry bonus damage speeds up fights nicely. I've played a bunch with the 2-handers but ultimately they just aren't as effective. Like magic, it's just not good in comparison

[grand ravine]

i think polearms have ok parry/block. i like them.

[nocturne wolf]

Parry bonus doesn’t increase damage, staggered enemies always take 2x damage. Parry bonus multiplies block armor when parrying, which is why you don’t get staggered parrying with a buckler against an attack that would stagger you if you blocked it.

[grand ravine]

never could really get behind most of the 2h stuff though

[keen cliff]

i like cheesing burial tombs and crypts in the early game with staghammer through doors. though i discovered you can break the doors in Brenna's tomb too easy

[timid sun]

A lot of it is good, definitely passable, but I've got 2,000 hours in the game and I've been there done that. I usually just choose the option that works best for me now

[gray sand]

Parry on the BM Atgeir and Krom is 104.
Which is really, really good.

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need to parry with a polearm, the secondary has 6x staggering, and you don’t need to wait for the enemy to attack first

[grand ravine]

ngl I'm waiting to run brenna until i have frost arrows/frostner

[keen cliff]

it wasn't bad. i did it with iron mace, buckler, staghammer. i did run from Brenna once to heal, and close another door to hit it through again

oh, but Brenna will smash doors on its own, i found

[grand ravine]

good point, though sometimes theres no time for the windup

[gray sand]

The only thing BM Atgeir/Krom can't parry pre-Ashlands is a 2-star Dverger Healer's melee attack.

[grand ravine]

oh i thinkni could do it. not as easy, but sure. honestly i just don't want that raid yet XD

[obtuse stratus]

Heading for the ashlands for my first time.. wish me luck

[gray sand]

And they can parry all non-starred enemies in the Ashlands as well.

[nocturne wolf]

There’s always time if you jump attack

[timid sun]

Good luck on that corpse run!

[obtuse stratus]

its okay I have a positive attitude thats all I need right

[keen cliff]

yeah. i'm fully moated, so i just ignore the raid. but i guess there wasn't really any reason to do that mini quest really

[grand ravine]

good luck! don't leave home without portals! don't land until you shoot everything you can see from your boat!

[obtuse stratus]

good tip

best arrows?

[gray sand]

Frost.

[odd helm]

Caparace should be the best you can make pre-ashlands damage wise

[gray sand]

Except it isn't 😦

[grand ravine]

for landing, meh? carapace or frost.

[timid sun]

Frost arrows are my dad

[odd helm]

There's better sources of frost for CC purposes, I'd think the arrows would lag behind a tad~

[gray sand]

Frost Arrows do 78 damage, Carapace do only 72.

[nocturne wolf]

Wouldn’t silver arrows be better against charred?

I forgot about the pierce resistance, I haven’t used a pierce weapon in ashlands

[gray sand]

No.

[grand ravine]

charred are not undead

[gray sand]

Charred still take Spirit damage, just the arrows don't do enough of it to matter.

[obtuse stratus]

Is magic worth it? It seems a bit underwhelming maybe because I dont have it at a high level yet? Struggling to find the right play style. Full magic wasn't quite right, hybrid interesting, but I feel most powerful and safe with plain old stam/hp combos

[gray sand]

Frost is king of all arrows until we see what Deep North has in store.

It is genuinely kind of sad that 1 arrow outclasses everything else so hard. 😦

[grand ravine]

it can be, gear upgrades are important. more important than skill lvl

[timid sun]

Poor spears suffer from the fact that they share damage types with bows/arrows. The devs got them on full nerf because bows are OP as hell

[nocturne wolf]

They take 1.5x spirit damage, they are even more undead than normal skeletons

[timid sun]

Deep North arrows, SUPER frost 😉

[foggy glacier]

I thought the same, once. I've been using a hybrid build this playthrough and let me tell you, once you get some levels in blood magic, that bubble is amazing.

[odd helm]

You know what, after looking into it this is totally correct, even before accounting for resistances, which makes frost arrows even better.

Hecc, shows what I know after changing over to crossbows for so long, apparently~

Need me some elemental crossbow bolts

[gray sand]

They out-damage everything until Charred Arrow.

Which is then a trade of +4 damage but you lose the Slow.
So Frost still wins.

[foggy glacier]

lol, and people say bows are OP. That would be a game killer.

[grand ravine]

need an elemental crossbow youmean

[timid sun]

I'd be okay with it, you still gotta level crossbows starting in the Mistlands. If you want to do that grind then you deserve it

[grand ravine]

not enough to make silver arrows better than carapace or frost though :/

mistwalker though

[nocturne wolf]

I only use my bow to aggro enemies, destroy spawners and kill drakes, Moder and gjalls, I don’t know what arrows are good for anything

[grand ravine]

just grind out a ripper

[grand ravine]

tbh it doesn't matter a ton? frost are generally a good default. id make an exception for moder and use whatever highest pierce you have kickin around

[timid sun]

Moder? Poison or obsidian arrows until she lands then take advantage of her awful AI and walk under her where you can stab her repeatedly with anything while she spins around in circles trying to figure out how to hit you.

[grand ravine]

imean, I'm currently early, mid, and endgame...

one of the features i appreciate most about valheim is the character/world system where you can mix-n-match everywhich way.

[obtuse stratus]

yes still lots to learn even after many hours

[ornate sigil]

I'm avoiding progression because I'm at the mists(and want to explore more of my world before comitting to being in THAT biome). not quite end game IMO till I hit the shores of the ashlands. but yes, a lot of people are in ashlands because it's been a while since it went live and those with pre-live experience have that meta down.

[inland skiff]

Is the mists also the Plains biome?

[obtuse stratus]

those are two different biomes

[inland skiff]

Oh! I didn't know that one existed!

[obtuse stratus]

the progression is
meadows > black forest > swamp > plains > mistlands > ashlands

[inland skiff]

Awesome!

[ornate sigil]

swamp>mountains>plains*

[obtuse stratus]

oops yes ^^

[gray sand]

Plains > All

[obtuse stratus]

but yes to @gray sand's point do whatever you want, progression is just a guide

ride a leech, eat a chicken

but for the love of god try out the fenris armor and the feather cape

[gray sand]

Me: Kills all 8 bosses

Odin says "come to Valhalla"

Me: But... my Plains... 😭

[inland skiff]

I made it to the Swamps and ended up getting frustrated. I turned off enemy attacks and enabled build without using materials. Definitely cheating but I've only played soli except when Astra from here joined me and helped me get my stuff back.

[obtuse stratus]

are you in fully upgraded bronze armor?

parrying with your shield?

[timid sun]

I'm so endgame that I've fully cleared the game, for the time at completion each time, probably around 40 times. I might have a problem.

[inland skiff]

Not me. I learned after cheating that I needed to learn parry and rolls. I was tanking everything.

[obtuse stratus]

kiting as well is a critical skill

[ornate sigil]

tanking everything...ouch.

[inland skiff]

Yeah. I was dying so much and I couldn't figure it out. So I started cheating and then researching.

[nocturne wolf]

What equipment and food were you using?

[inland skiff]

I don't know kiting.

I'm new to Discord still so I don't know how to respond specifically to people. But Blob I was way underprepared.

[ornate sigil]

kiting(like a kite in the sky being followed by a tail), is a gaming term for having enemies chase you while you recover.

[inland skiff]

Ahh... thank you Nevyn

[obtuse stratus]

make them follow you all over the place, shooting as you walk backward

[ornate sigil]

np

[nocturne wolf]

On mobile, hold a message and tap reply, or swipe left on a message.
On pc, right click the message and click reply

[timid sun]

I hope someday I join a server where I can play with someone who dies all the time, without them quitting. I enjoy showing people the ropes 😄

[inland skiff]

Oh! Thank you

[inland skiff]

That would have been me with someone to play with me

[grand ravine]

for your next challenge, try elden ring. 🙂

[ornate sigil]

darksouls

[inland skiff]

I saw that the other day. I'll give it a shot

[nocturne wolf]

All you need to do in elden ring is get on the horse and run past all the enemies

[inland skiff]

I cut my teeth on the Atari and then the original Nintendo

[grand ravine]

you're doing it wrong. do it righttt

[inland skiff]

The gaming community has changed so much on here since I last played though. Where are all the shit talking 12 year olds?

[timid sun]

Hold on, gotta put my mask on

[grand ravine]

they'll be here tomorrow

[ornate sigil]

likely kicked or gave up because this is a harder game than candycrush level 1

[inland skiff]

I meant in general. I tried playing one of the newer Halos and crickets. Same with Destiny.

[timid sun]

Oh, all those kids are playing Sea of Thieves

[inland skiff]

So it does still exist...

[ornate sigil]

those games are likely not trendy enough to grab their attention.

[grand ravine]

(coughminecraftcough)

[vocal rivet]

Well, given that the age limit for Discord is 13, not here.

[inland skiff]

Sorry. I didn't mean on Discord. I meant on game chat itself.

Umm... like in game chat on Xbox

[grand ravine]

they're around. you know you're playing the wrong game when you find them.

[vocal rivet]

The game doesn't really have in-game chat to be honest.

At least, not voice chat.

[ornate sigil]

the in game chat is limited to "per world/seed" so unless you are on a server, you wont hear them.

[inland skiff]

Valheim doesn't? But I meant in general... I stopped gaming for years and had no idea Xbox had Game Pass.

[nocturne wolf]

Worlds are completely different to seeds

[inland skiff]

I stopped gaming around Destiny's first expansion pack when they had Xbox Gold.

[gray sand]

Unless you name your world "Acorn" 😉

[grand ravine]

you aren't missing much. most games haven't been that great for like ...20 years... valheim is one of the few exceptions

[inland skiff]

So basically I missed A LOT

[grand ravine]

duck hunt still best game

[inland skiff]

Valheim has gotten me hooked again

[timid sun]

Definitely my favorite game in a long time, fell into it randomly as well. The day before it came out a few people I played another game with were talking about it and by chance I decided to buy it and play with them. Years later here I am 😄

[ornate sigil]

ya, valheim is a good one.

[gray sand]

What do you meeeeeean?

You didn't see the greatness of Call of Duty? Call of Duty 2? Call of Duty 3? Call of Duty Offshoot? Call of Duty 4? Call of Duty Offshoot 2? Call of Duty Reboot? Call of Duty Reboot 2? Call of Duty Offshoot 3? Call of Duty Reboot 4? Call of Duty Offshoot 4? Call of Duty Reboot 5?
And who could have forgotten Call of Duty, of Duty?

😛

[grand ravine]

yah i can probably count on one hand the number of games in the last 20 years i think are actually good

[inland skiff]

A person at work told me about Valheim a few weeks ago and I've been grinding it ever since.

[inland skiff]

My absolute all time favorite is Shadow of the Colossus

[grand ravine]

[ornate sigil]

brother and his friends pulled me into it because they wanted to have a large group and play on a server every weekend. blew though the content available at that time(up to Yag).

[inland skiff]

Anyway... y'all have a good night or day wherever you are. I'm gonna game some more.

What about Sports Game? Sports Game 2? Different Sports Game? Sports Game 3? Different Sports Game 2? Sports Game Game? Sports Sports Game? Online Sports Game? Sports Game Reboot?

[timid sun]

Different Sports Game? You mean Same Sports Game?

[gray sand]

I will die on the hill that the only good sports game in my lifetime has been Wii Sports.

[grand ravine]

those games have been thrift store shelf wedges for 30 years ngl

[ornate sigil]

only sport game I liked was a 90's hockey game because you could get into fistfights on the rink.

[grand ravine]

i will die on the hill that the only good sports game is the one you go out and play IRL

[gray sand]

Wii Tennis was 🔥

[grand ravine]

[proper edge]

[grand ravine]

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[proper edge]

[gray sand]

Foos - Rho - Da

[grand ravine]

i like them, they're a lot of fun.

i wouldn't use them in every situation, but. ive seen someone say they did, for most of 3 biomes. which seems possible.

[runic quiver]

If you work on the fist skill flesh rippers are amazingly fun. Be warned that your block power is significantly weakened and blocking can still send you flying even if you block the damage

[grand ravine]

yeah i do recommend the dodge and weave tactic while using them

[runic quiver]

I was really mad when i made a guy good at sneak, and daggers. Only to get the rippers and theyre fist weapons lol

[gray sand]

Their block power is basically what a Bronze Shield would have been, for reference.

[grand ravine]

lol

[gray sand]

So, really, really bad.

[runic quiver]

You get bounced back like an anime character.

[gray sand]

As someone who has never and will never watch anime...

[foggy glacier]

but it would be really cool if you stopped yourself with a Wolverine style animation.

[runic quiver]

Sliiiiiiiiiiide back 20 feet then dash back into combat

[proper edge]

ill stick to my swords then 😂

[foggy glacier]

there must be some upside to using them, though.
