[pulsar birch]

good to know

I was afraid we would have to go searching for tar all around the world just so we can build prettier houses

[grand ravine]

to be clear the tar growths, the jumping blobs, respawn. the nodes of tar do not.

[hidden gorge]

tar pits are not that uncommon in the plains. you should be able to find plenty

[grand ravine]

ohhhk. yeah if it's tar you want, then....yes. you'll be hunting tar pits.

[pulsar birch]

ok..... i'll accept my faith 😔

[dense tide]

wat does "hold fast" do on the boat?

[ember kraken]

Make it more difficult to fall out in stormy weather.

[fair apex]

So when ya think Deep North teasers gonna start? I assume they are already laying groundwork for the biome.

[ornate sigil]

it's functuaily the same as sitting down. "hold fast", that is.

[dense tide]

so if i am facing opposite direction of the wind on boat, can i still move forward while facing the wind???

[ember kraken]

set the boat speed to 1, that just uses the paddle, and ignores wind.

[ornate sigil]

at slow speeds, yes. the "oar" icon will appear.

at mid speed with wind mostly at your back, the half sail will show and full speed with full sails.

1 click forward for slow, 2 for mid and 3 for full.

[dense tide]

slowest speed is the 1 up arrow with paddle right?

[ornate sigil]

correct

there is also reverse, but that is only slow(1 click)

[keen cliff]

huh. i think i can see bonemass's shrine from my boat

[gilded terrace]

Hey guys! I'm new in the community but i played this game until i reached Ashlands (mostly solo) and would like to know if anyone started a new world recently so i can join and play with other people too

[ornate sigil]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 is a whole chat section for people (looking for group). keep in mind, these servers are run by individuals so it may take them time to respond.

[gilded terrace]

Wops. Thank you for the guidance, wasn't sure where to write.

[ornate sigil]

NP. that gets asked a lot.

[obtuse remnant]

I have generally been enjoying Ashlands, but how tf are you supposed to deal with 9 ranged guys at the fort entrance as melee?

[hidden gorge]

that's the neat part, you don't

[gilded terrace]

If ramming the gate may be too difficult and overwhelming for solo play, think of another way of entering the fortress. It's obvious where from so i'll let you do the thinking

[hidden gorge]

fireballs are quite effective at taking out the spawners, as are trolls if you've got them

[keen cliff]

i'm like... where's that archer... and then, oh, he's inside the tree. sigh. archers inside indestructable trees is a thing i guess?

[gilded terrace]

Never encountered

[hidden gorge]

fireballs solve that problem too. there isn't much they can't do tbh

[merry pebble]

i did a few times, mostly with skeletons tho and that was some time ago, also found dvergr in stone once iirc 🙂

[keen cliff]

no magic yet. this is a duerger archer welcoming me to bonemass's swamp

from his fortress, er, tree

root harnesk is defnitely key here with that guy. sheesh

oh, i can staghammer him through the tree

[keen cliff]

any chance spawn rates are higher in the swamp that contains Bonemass shrine? this one seems particularly nasty

[merry pebble]

nope

[sly quail]

I asked and they said they don't.

[obtuse remnant]

Can the central tower of an Ashland fort be destroyed? I removed all the bottom blocks, but the rest of the tower is now floating

[vocal rivet]

I wonder who you asked.

[grand ravine]

it should be possible, but probably only by going top-down with a ram

[merry pebble]

or catapult could work 🙂

[grand ravine]

or if you're feeling especially saucy, trollstav

[merry pebble]

oh? do the trolls damage the walls?

[grand ravine]

not the trolls

[keen cliff]

damn, i'm only like 40 meters in and is that the 3rd abomination?

maybe i should make an iron sword. this bronze axe ain't cutting it. (pun intended). or go around him

[plush umbra]

That's because axes are ment for wood not fighting unless if it's for fighting

[keen cliff]

but i'm fighting a giant tree? 🙂

tree.. tree-thing

[vocal rivet]

You can happily play the game with an axe as your primary weapon.

[plush umbra]

Good luck then

[keen cliff]

yeah, but i'm guessing level 3 bronze axe vs abominations is probably not the best

[vocal rivet]

What with? It's a viable choice, no luck required.

[plush umbra]

Are you using an axe that is ment for fighting

[vocal rivet]

All axes are meant for fighting; 😕 That's why they have damage stats.

[plush umbra]

Just because it has damage doesn't mean it's meant for fight 😭🤦

My friend has an axe and he doesn't do that much damage at all

He's always dieing

[keen cliff]

looks like iron axe level 1 only is 20 iron, and is already more damage than level 3 bronze axe

i guess i could do iron sword. same damage type, slash

oh, except i have no sword skill. lol. no time like the present to learn

alright fuck it. made level 4 iron sword. gonna go back with a vengeance

[plush umbra]

You got this

[hidden gorge]

not the fault of the axe

[tepid prawn]

That’s a choice for Abom weapon too, apart from a buckler + fire spout 🙂

[keen cliff]

yeah, sadly i haven't seen a single fire spout in this swamp yet. just 3 abominations so far

[plush umbra]

Lol yes it is but whatever I've been playing since this game came out I would know 🤣

[vocal rivet]

And we haven't?

[grand ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/check-come-here-see-laugh-gif-12127676

[plush umbra]

Most definitely not if you think a one handed axe does good damage 😭

[keen cliff]

Swords have low knockback and low stamina cost for good damage. Sword damage is not reduced when several enemies or objects are hit by a single attack, unlike most other weapons.

that last sentence is intriguing

[vocal rivet]

Dude, I've played every version since May 2021, including every PTB. I think I know the game fairly well. I'm not say it's the best option or anything, just that it's perfectly viable as a combat option.

[keen cliff]

probably good for me, since i believe that counts things like trees, and walls, and dirt, which i often hit when i'm flailing around like an idiot

[plush umbra]

Bruh I was playing this before it came to console I know more about this game and I have multiple friends that tell me the exact same thing if you think an axe does good damage then okay whatever but there are better weapons than an ax out there

[vocal rivet]

' there are better weapons than an ax out there' Once again, I NEVER said that wasn't true.

Before it came to console? What, like 2 years after the game was released?

[ornate sigil]

before console was steam on pc....

[keen cliff]

and wow, holy crap. all praise the sword. probably because it was level 4, but damn that abom was easy. level 1 sword skill hahaha

[plush umbra]

Told you

[keen cliff]

i mean, i may have been similar with a level 4 iron axe 🙂

i was using bronze age against him lol

[hidden gorge]

meanwhile you directly said that axes cause your friend to die -- not eating good foods to better manage health and stamina, or moving away, dodging and parrying attacks

[grand ravine]

axe skill is not important or useful unless you're using a battle axe. it does not reduce stamina use while cutting trees either. you should never kill anything with an axe. always switch to sword or club when enemies swarm you while you're cutting wood. this is the only way you'll survive ashlands.

[keen cliff]

i was using iron mace against everything, but since abom is resist to blunt, i was using bronze axe

my other good weapon is abyssal dagger, but he's resist to that also lol

[grand ravine]

i don't usually make early swords. i use axe/bow for abominations. they work fine.

[keen cliff]

yeah, it was a bunch of iron i just used....

c'est la vie!

and i'm still like 40 meters into this swamp

[grand ravine]

im just sayin...anything works. iron anything is better though

[keen cliff]

back to hoe-in a path towards bonemass

[grand ravine]

stop destroying the ecosystem 😭

[keen cliff]

bah! fuck this swamp. And it's a tiny sliver of a swamp too, with ocean on one side and meadows on the other. so no crypts

i'm gonna pave the whole thing and pee on in

[grand ravine]

swamps are great. i love swamps. especially the leaving them part.

i found a couple big swamps fairly quickly this new run. i got enough iron and am about to say goodbye. it's a happy moment in time.

[tepid prawn]

Swamp one of the best biomes /controversialopinion

Also you’ll need more iron later…

[keen cliff]

once i get into the swamp groove, i'm fine with it. but it puts me on edge

[grand ravine]

ssshhhhhhhh. sshhh.

ley me enjoy this moment.

[keen cliff]

i also feel like the edges of swamps are rougher than than the interiors, and this swamp is all edge

[grand ravine]

for real though, swamps are kinda cool, but also....ehhh. I'd rather find a big one and only visit occasionally for cores and iron. also they're a lot friendlier after you have better gear.

[keen cliff]

i'm right with ya

[ornate sigil]

I am into mistlands in this playthrough and I still get (minor) anxiety spikes every now and again if I have to run though a swamp.

plains might be tougher of a biome, but the atmosphere of swamps puts me more on edge.

[grand ravine]

yeahhh. imean they're ok. but also dark and damp and not my favourite.

[keen cliff]

still not a single spawner, or fire spout, or crypt.

lol i just had to say something. there's the island with 3 spawners

[grand ravine]

i may be biased though. i had a not fun time in them before, and it hasn't worn off maybe. i was so glad to get into mountains

[keen cliff]

hey! a crypt! i will get some of this iron back at least

um, hopefully

[dark edge]

thunderstone turns assorted objects into coal right?

[ornate sigil]

using the oblitorator, yes.

[dark edge]

yea i thought so

[frail wagon]

the only biomes i didnt like were the mountain and ashlands

[dark edge]

how much coal do you get for wood?

[ornate sigil]

if you havn't used it before, word of warning. you wana place it in a open area and stand a fair bit away once you smash the big red button.

[dark edge]

oh ok

so you meant indoors right?

[ornate sigil]

looking at the wiki, its about 10:1 for most things.

[hidden gorge]

not as much as you'd like

[ornate sigil]

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

[vocal rivet]

The coal is just a side-effect, it's just a fancy bin really.

[frail wagon]

yeah you get pretty diminishing returns on what you destroy

[dark edge]

I JUST REALIZED THAT FINNALY I HAVE A TRASH THAT ISNT THE OCEAN

this means thor is santa right?

[frail wagon]

i love the idea of that

[dark edge]

yea cause he leaves coal in the stalking, or in this case the silly lightning rod

and santa does that to, they are both limitless coal generaters

perfect for an industrial revolution, if america were to capture either santa or thor they would be given an infinite energy source

[ornate sigil]

as the notes on the wiki page mention, burning food has a better conversion rate than the obliterator, but ya it makes coal.

[dark edge]

just like santa...

i lined my window up perfectly with my tower accidently

[vocal rivet]

Wow, it's got to the weird time of day, huh?

[dark edge]

THOR IS SANTA

vsauce into music plays

[ornate sigil]

if only a little more like santa, then the good little vikings would get a free Himminafl.

[frail wagon]

i feel like the crystal weapon shouldve been a dagger instead of an axe tbh

[keen cliff]

this whole journey was to scout out Bonemass, and prepare the battlefield, but hey, i just found a 2nd and 3rd crypt. nice

[frail wagon]

how do you consider a good viking from a bad viking?

[dark edge]

gg

[ornate sigil]

that would be up to santa(thor).

[dark edge]

bigger boat is good smaller boat is bad

ah good point

[frail wagon]

good little vikings get free flametel ore

[dark edge]

or whatever ore they need at there point in the game

[ornate sigil]

and knowing a little lore, it would likely be about combat proweress.

[dark edge]

yea true

[frail wagon]

so weakest ore you could get would probably be iron?

sense you cant build the oblit without iron

[dark edge]

uhhhh yea i think so

or he should give feasts after good, victorious battles

[frail wagon]

serpent stew delicious mead and eyscream

[dark edge]

meal fit for a good little viking

[frail wagon]

the feast fit for a well fought battle

[dark edge]

yea either way thor is santa obv idk why no one saw that sooner

[stark wigeon]

please somebody help me all my loot is stuck in the back of a skeelton cave

im about ot just unistall

[dark edge]

alr i will help whats your steam id?

[stark wigeon]

[stark wigeon]

do i need to leave the game to do that?

[dark edge]

yea if you havent set it to server

you need to tick the little start server button on, then press shift tab then right click on my name and press invite

[stark wigeon]

ok trying

[dark edge]

once you join back into the world then you invite me

[stark wigeon]

dont find the invite button on ur name

[dark edge]

oh ok

[stark wigeon]

ok so its all the way in the back of this skelton cave right by me

[dark edge]

dm me the passworld you set rq

[stark wigeon]

thisgamesucks

[dark edge]

wrong password

[stark wigeon]

ok redoing it - Password

[dark edge]

ok im joining

[vocal rivet]

I'm not sure, but I feel like there's probably a better place to be sharing usernames and passwords.

[keen cliff]

um. so i'm confused. i thought if i dropped iron next to my workbench, it would stay. i portaled back, slept, grabbed some wood for a chest, came back... and i don't see the iron

[dark edge]

yea for sure thats why i said DM

[keen cliff]

oh, nm. i'm an idiot. i picked it up when i portalled in

[stark wigeon]

yo can u see the ingame cht

[keen cliff]

um make that 5?! crypts already in this fairly small bonemass swamp? okay, the game is definitely trying to make up for all the bs swamps i had earlier 🙂

[distant field]

Finally!
#screenshots message

[grand ravine]

this goes on the wall above your bed.

[distant field]

Nope, it goes to making a hood. But the second one IS getting mounted!

[grand ravine]

wait which is which? how can you tell them apart?? 😮

[keen cliff]

i swear this is the last swamp i'm going into for a long long time

i think we're up to 7 crypts now. not any one of them has had a ton of iron so far. but i'm only on number 5

[grand ravine]

number 7 is lucky. i feel it in mah bones

[grand ravine]

let's see the height of viking fashion!!

[distant field]

Just clearing out the rest of the cave.

[plush umbra]

literally, support is so hard

[fathom marsh]

I think the world generation algorithms were altered because me and a friend were looking for a draugr village and we found a circle of rocks instead. But based on the world generator site, there should be a draugr village. This world was generated pre-ashlands.

[grand ravine]

you need to load your world .fwl and .db files, or locations won't be correct

[fathom marsh]

Where do I find thouse?

[grand ravine]

there should be a blue "upload" button that gives you this prompt, which should point you to the right place
#screenshots message

usually it'll be in the "steam cloud" location if you're on pc

[distant field]

#screenshots message

[grand ravine]

yessssss! sogood

[distant field]

And I have 163 Fenris hair remaining so I can get it fully levelled (rest of set is already max level).

Took 10 Frost Caves.

So worth it.

[grand ravine]

riggghhttt? now you gotta run around in a storm with asksvin cape!

[fathom marsh]

Alright, after showing him how to upload the files we got his true data. It was not a total mess up. We can get to one close by.

[grand ravine]

👍 that's good

[distant field]

hehe, don't have enough Asksvin hide for that... yet...

My next armor related project is to get my Carapace set fully upgraded.

[grand ravine]

i thought asksvin hides were gonna be a pain. lollll i haven't really been lacking since like second day in al

ohman i can't imagine landing in ashlands without full upgrades on that O.O

[distant field]

My current armor room - all max level on all pieces.
#screenshots message

[distant field]

IIRC, it was max at the time (if I am remembering correctly that you need ashlands black forge upgrades to get past that)

[grand ravine]

ahhh gotcha

[distant field]

We were playing 3-player, and focussed more on taking Fortresses, but the other two hardly play now, one I'm not sure will ever play again. Hence I'm doing side quests at the moment - stuff I wanted to do before now, but never had time, because the one that might not come back was constantly pushing forwards.

[grand ravine]

ahhh man you gotta smell the roses in valheim

[plush umbra]

lol

[sand mason]

Any dedicated servers which are active? I'm a builder looking to join.

[sand mason]

thanks, but nobody replys to those.... ever.

it's like talking to a wall

[fleet ingot]

deep north when?

[austere belfry]

dont poke the hornets nest

[distant field]

Bear hornets? Bornets?

Or hornet bears? Hears?

[grand ravine]

hornears? 🤔 this is going to keep me awake now...

[merry pebble]

when it is done 🙂

[grand ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-maybe-indifferent-gut-gif-8856605

..right, yeah. bedtime.

[distant field]

‘Night jawbone

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[latent gorge]

Valheim still by far the best survival game

[latent gorge]

Me nub still at mountain biome 🤣

[fleet ingot]

take your time and enjoy the game, is the best advice

[plush umbra]

deeeeep north

[grand ravine]

hmmm

..bearnets?

[azure yacht]

Doesn't change the fact that is the intended channel.

And that you won't get much better results in any other channel

[obtuse remnant]

Do you think the Deep North will have reduced visibility environmental conditions considering the mountains already do?

[merry pebble]

Arent you supposed to be asleep?

[grand ravine]

😭 yeah. too hot. funky dreams. went out for a smoke, now im dozing in a lawn chair. at least there's a breeze out here

[austere belfry]

Im kinda hoping for less blizzards and more aurora type ambience

[grand ravine]

i just want a derigible

[obtuse remnant]

If a blizzard-like condition does exist, hoping a new utility item is introduced which also works in the Mistlands

[grand ravine]

I'm hoping for 20 minute night cycle, that kinda thing. but idc much, i trust the devs to make it awesome. i haven't really been disappointed by much in the whole game thus far.

[obtuse remnant]

Ironically, the sun never sets in the high north certain times of the year

[opal prairie]

I'm a bit disappointment that the scariest enemy in the ashlands is the asksvin for me all the rest are doable.
For the rest it are some QoL things that will probably get addressed the closer to 1.0 we get.

[obtuse remnant]

The Askvin leap range is mental

[nocturne wolf]

It’s great for pushing other enemies and easy to jump over

[distant field]

Bearigible? 🤣

[grand ravine]

the one mod i would install would be the bearigible.

[opal prairie]

True bit I frequently have asksvins come out of nowhere, bop me so they break my bubble and I get punted into other mobs or lava and die.
Asksvins have killed me more times than anything else in the ashlands.

[grand ravine]

what i immediately pictured was some kinda norse-ish bear-ish miyazaki-ish steam airship...thing. thinger. absolutely would try that even if it looked like a horrible mod. would have to give it a shot.

btw this is awesome.
#screenshots message

i got a guck tree in meadows by where i started building realbase in my new world, but there's at least swamp nearby there. this though, is just awesome.

[grand ravine]

the lava balls have it out for me. i swear they're intelligent. -.-

[nocturne wolf]

Use a shield generator to stop them

[opal prairie]

Blobs or the things the lava spews out?

[grand ravine]

wait really? I meant like just while exploring but, if you put up a genny to farm flametal or something it inhibits them..? even if lava is inside the shield?

[grand ravine]

lava spews

they remind me of bowser's castle. except they're gunnin for me.

[distant field]

I found a draugr/skeleton spawn in the middle of a plains area. On the minimap you could see a thin strip extending out from a neighbouring swamp area. But there was no other indication of it ‘on the ground’.

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve found a guck tree in plains and in an ocean (there wasn’t any land)

[grand ravine]

i love this kinda thing. sirtlings in black forest is hard to beat though. imagine being a new player just starting out and running into that.

[distant field]

Yeah, that would be… something.

[ember kraken]

Found a surtling spawned in meadows once, with a very small strip of swamp on the map in the water. Was fun though as the spawned itself was just in the water next to the beach, so they just auto died by themselves, no effort needed.

I built a small beach house next to it, just far enough that it didn't stop spawns, and sat there on my porch enjoying the beach party.

[ornate sigil]

Just glad ashlands is quarantined to the south, or with these random terrain generations, we might get ashlands in the meadows...and that would be a real beginner vikings terror.

[ember kraken]

Well, we could technically get seeds as bad as that already? Imagine starting in the middle of an unbroken ring of mountain. That could technically be possible ?

(Now I want to try that.... if anyone has a seed like that hit me up!)

[azure yacht]

If you have asksvins in mistlands you should start feeling an invasion going upwards then

[opal prairie]

Yeah my mistake, fixed.

[urban forge]

hi all, do you know if lord reto re spawns ? 🙂

[tardy coral]

Should I use a wood club instead of a spear for killing skellies?

[urban forge]

wich ever has yellow damage is best

[tardy coral]

How many tin ores equals an ingot? It's 3 right?

[merry pebble]

1, and copper 2

[tardy coral]

Oh bruh

[merry pebble]

clubs are best since they do blunt dmg and skellies are weak to it

[misty sun]

also a good way to get rid of excess torches, smacking skeletons about the face~

[nocturne wolf]

Every bar is made with 1 ore, but bronze needs 2 copper and 1 tin

[tardy coral]

Gotcha

[merry pebble]

its also a plus that they are weak to fire 🙂

[tardy coral]

When should I start upgrading equipments?

[foggy glacier]

as soon as you can.

[opal prairie]

When you feel like it, bosses can be killed with lvl 1 gear of the biome you are in.
So if you first want to make something else you can and you don't need to upgrade everything to max to be able to progress to the next biome.
It does how ever make your life easier if you do upgrade.
You can also skip some biome armors and even weapons if you get comfortable enough in the game.
I for one don't bother with plains armor, I only upgrade some weapons and go to the mistlands and I'll get new armor there.

[olive vault]

what gear would be good to have when venturing into the swamp to get iron.
i just killed the elder and have bronze armor up to level 4

[opal prairie]

Bronze mace would be a solid investment and a buckler if you are decent at parrying.
A finewood bow and fire arrows to supplement that is also a solid investment.
A pickaxe or axe isn't really needed but can certainly help speed things along.

[olive vault]

alrighty so is the bronze mace stronger then the stagbreaker becuse i have that thing at level 2

[half dragon]

completely different use and not directly comparable

mace is better for single target damage while stag is better for crowd control and damage

[opal prairie]

Bronze mace at lvl 1 does 35 blunt and the stagbreaker at lvl 2 does 26 blunt + 5 pierce.
Also the bronze mace is one handed, so attacks are faster but single target.
You also have a hand free for a buckler to parry with, during the resulting stagger you deal extra damage.

[olive vault]

alrighty time to make a bronze mace

[azure yacht]

No

[azure yacht]

Whenever you want

Which can also include "absolutely never"

[fallen zephyr]

Ashlands is great fun in Rag Armor!

[half dragon]

I had fun fully upgrading every single piece of equipment to max on my very first playthrough... even bronze. Even stuff I never really used... just wanted to hoard and collect equipment

never again

[warm sandal]

i am always thinking maybe I should one day do a completionist run... but then I start a new world and am way to impatient to make a bronze sword and go my usual speedrunnerish kinda way 😄

[keen cliff]

what do you mean by "completionist run" ?

[warm sandal]

make every weapon, every armor, and max everything out - collect every trophy, catch all fish and so on and so on 😄

[keen cliff]

ahhh yeah, that seems very time consuming. especially in certain eras. god the bronze, for example.

i would think if you want to do that, it's almost better to speed run to end game, where things like the new portals could make getting everything you missed way easier. however, that defeats what you're probably trying to do

[warm sandal]

i am always playing vanilla with all basic setttings the only thing i always change is "portal verything" - i do not belive in not portaling metals 😄 but still so much stuff to collect... to max aout the wolf and fenris armor you gotta hunt a heckton of wolves for example... even with portaling all the silver to the base it is an ordeal 😄

[keen cliff]

ah, yeah. if you can use normal portals to transport ores, everything is faster

like right now i'm going through a big swamp, doing each crypt, and just leaving all the ore on top of each one in a chest. when i'm done, i'm going to do the cart to every crypt and take it all to the boat

[warm sandal]

did that for the first 1000h of playing valheim... for the last 1000h i have been portaling it straight to my base 😄

[keen cliff]

totally. i'm on 562 hours, so i'm still doing it the vanilla way

[warm sandal]

and a little more then 400h to go to reach the 1000h mark and metal portaling 😄

[fair cairn]

it jsut removes the only uses of the boats(apart from exploring) and a large part of the game, so no

[keen cliff]

yeah. you still have leviathan and sea serpent searching, but having to sail ore around does seem to be a rather core gameplay feature

but it's a single player game, anyone can play however they want

well, it can be co-op, but you know what i mean 🙂

[warm sandal]

well i do a lot more exploring of the map now.. when i was not portaling metal i was sticking to the same paths and never find more than 1/10 of the map 😄 because time i have on my hand to play (besides a dayjob, learning japanese, haveing both a youtube and twitch, and trying to improve my drawing) 😄

[obtuse remnant]

If the devs do a mini content release around the midpoint of Deep North development to help hold us over, what are some things you would like to see included?

[strong fjord]

A new way to plant like 5 seeds at a time and tame dear

I wan to tame dear

I really want to tame dear

Deer**

[warm sandal]

be able to make stacks of 5 (like bronze) of many other things (like deer stew or loxpie)

[strong fjord]

So true I get a little bored sometimes making like 100 onion soups in one sitting

Takes forever

[warm sandal]

thus i never made 100 at once - i make 8 and 8 wolfskewer and 8 sausage and make more after 8 days in game 😄 to impatient

[strong fjord]

Yea I like to have boxes full of different kinds of food so I make a ton of stuff at once

[sage cosmos]

Really wish you could make stacks of food

[strong fjord]

I usually turn a YouTube video on my second monitor and just craft food for however long it takes (sometimes a whole in game day 🙄)

[warm sandal]

i do not mind planting one by one...got pretty fast at doing it 😄 but klicking 24 times to have a 8day supply of food is kinda to much shrug

[obtuse remnant]

Or a craft until cancel button

[strong fjord]

Also maybe make surtling cores spawn in crypts or something. I’ve only ever gotten to yagluth in my play throughs and I end up having like 20 teleporters and I am never motivated to go out and farm burial chambers

[warm sandal]

well no... just gimme what they did for bronze that would suffice nicely thank you 😄

[strong fjord]

That might just be a me problem 🤷

[warm sandal]

i get most surtingcores from the swamp and not from burial chambers 😄

[obtuse remnant]

I guess the craft button could be turned into Craft [ 1 ] [ 5 ] [ 10 ] or something?

[strong fjord]

Oh yea that’s right there are those fire things in the swamp. I should try making a farm if I ever find one on my current play though. They fire enemies respawn right?

[azure yacht]

Yes

[obtuse remnant]

You don't have to build anything around it, just pickaxe/hoe the area around it so it is a little bit under the water. Just need to ensure you don't have a workbench nearby. I usually make it about 8x8 m big and haven't had any issues with it

[strong fjord]

Sweet sounds good! I’ll tell my friend later to go and explore the swamp and find one. He loves sailing

[keen cliff]

[final bloom]

Hey, does the "Render Scale" works similar to a Upscaling Tool?

Or I can stack them with RSR, or anything like that

[humble swallow]

Who is on right now

[fair cairn]

not me

[quick cradle]

guys is bronze pick axe better ?

[tropic blaze]

better than wht

[quick cradle]

antler

[tropic blaze]

yes

[quick cradle]

im new i wanna know what tools are better

[tropic blaze]

ok mate

[quick cradle]

so is it better to have bronze knife and sword ?

[fallen zephyr]

Dude, give us some context. There is no "better" without a reference.

[quick cradle]

im new i just unlocked the bronze stuff so i mean from bronse and the items before it

and is it better to have troll armor than bronze ? cuse it reduces speed

[fallen zephyr]

Everything has strengths and weaknesses. Use what works for your play-style.

[distant field]

As you move through the game the gear (generally speaking) gets better. But it also gets more differentiated and specialised. And even within specialisations there are personal preferences.

[quick cradle]

idk if i have to waste stuff on bronze sword and knife or not

[fallen zephyr]

Waste it. There's always more.

[quick cradle]

and how u go to snow biome

[merry pebble]

you sail or walk 🙂 (tho most people usually go there after swamp 😉 )

[quick cradle]

no imean i keep freezing lol and i got wolf fangs and skin idk what to do with em lol

[merry pebble]

try looking into cauldron for frost resist mead base 🙂

[quick cradle]

aaa

[fallen zephyr]

Get a lift from the White Witch. If you're lucky, you can snack on turkish delight on the way.

But seriously, get through Swamps first. The mountain wolves are no joke

[ornate sigil]

#screenshots message
Not between these peaks, right @fallen zephyr

Haven't seen a witch or her house there.

[quick cradle]

well thanks for help i just killed 9 of them idk what to do with there stuff

for elder i need 3 seed to spawn right?

[fallen zephyr]

If you really killed nine wolves before you've killed Elder, you need to stop worrying about doing everything perfectly and just go do your thing.

[quick cradle]

im just putting camp fire in snow to not freez thats the only thing i could do

[foggy glacier]

that works. it's a lot easier to move around if you go to swamp first.

[hoary hollow]

build a bronze mace, is going to help you alot in swamp

[quick cradle]

ohhhh noice, any idea for trolls ? hard to kill em with knife it takes long time

also how to connect portals and what is mob heads used to ?

[hoary hollow]

they are weak to piercing, so if u are new to game you can use finebow with fire arrow or an flint/bronze spear

[hoary hollow]

u need to place 2 portals with same name to connect them, mob trophies are used for crafting recipes like items or bait for fishing

[quick cradle]

i apreciate it

[distant field]

@quick cradle : there are essentially 3 parts to each recipe:

• what bench you need to make the thing.
• the level that bench needs to be to be able to make the thing.
• the materials needed to make the thing.

And bench upgrades are themselves things that have recipes.

So, whenever you get some new materials, it is worth creating any and all bench upgrades first. As this may unlock further recipes.

[zinc wind]

why is ashland such a laggy shit in multiplayer?

[quick cradle]

ey man thanks , btw are u playin so i can join and get a hand ?

[vocal rivet]

It's not? I have no problems with it at all on our server. if you already have poor connections Ashlands IS more demanding though on the network so it'll show up better.

[hoary hollow]

try this: lower graphics, choose performance preset, and make sure you have good ping

[shadow rivet]

I put campfires everywhere

[quick cradle]

lol

man its raelly bad only 300 wieght

[merry pebble]

there is a way to increase it 😉

[quick cradle]

u fr ? how

[serene hollow]

Find the Trader he sells you an item that increases your carry capacity.

[quick cradle]

whats the name of the item?

Still won't fix the problem really especially when mining ore but it does help considerably.

[nocturne wolf]

Megingjord

[serene hollow]

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

[quick cradle]

man its really better than a bit

to my opinion armors should not take space in inventroy they can make it like minecraft it would be really cool

[serene hollow]

Inventory management is real in this game and another reason so many enjoy it. It can be frustrating at times but it makes you decide do I really need that item right now?....

[vocal rivet]

It's still something you're carrying.

[nocturne wolf]

But they’d need to make the inventory 3 slots smaller and it wont fit well into a rectangle

[serene hollow]

You can always use a mod to fix the inventory space problem. Azu has great mods that give dedicated armor slots and more inventory space (along with hot keys for the 3 food slots). However, the purist's may say that is cheating or not as intended. However, the great thing about the game is you can play it your way...

[grand ravine]

mods are bad, mmmmk

[vocal rivet]

The easiest way to 'solve' the inventory problem is just only carry what you need.

[topaz timber]

i just came here to ask

is it worth buying if i dont have friends to play with

[serene hollow]

Absolutely

[merry pebble]

oh yes

[grand ravine]

personal opinion, yes. definitely.

[vocal rivet]

Is a single player game worth buying with no friends? Absolutely.

[serene hollow]

I have over 1200 hours and less than 200 of those are with friends. Game is insanely good.

[grand ravine]

i usually play by myself

co-op is just a fun extra

[topaz timber]

aight amma take yall word for it

[gray sand]

It's a single-player game, so yes 👍

[topaz timber]

i just bought it now its installing whish me good luck

[quick cradle]

do i need anything for spawning elder ?

[nocturne wolf]

3 ancient seeds

[quick cradle]

can it be respawned ?

[gray sand]

With 3 more ancient seeds.

[vocal rivet]

As with all bosses, you can summon them as often as you want.

[serene hollow]

Hope you enjoy it. Some of the commands and actions are not obvious so don't give up too quick until you learn the mechanics and how to do everything. Tons of helpful videos for beginners out there.

[plush umbra]

Anyone know how long ashlands is roughly, is it a short biome

[vocal rivet]

It's a biome, so about as long as all of the others?

[plush umbra]

Like compared to mistlands in length

[vocal rivet]

.

[gray sand]

That isn't a fixed amount of time or even a generally agreed upon amount of time.

[plush umbra]

Ok

[ornate sigil]

Ashlands would take as long as you need it to. Are you a speed runner? You will get it done quick. Are you a completionist? It will take longer. Consider how you played the other biomes and take a educated guess, because any guess you make will be a better one than anyone here.

[plush umbra]

So its not a much more shorter biome compared to the others?

Thats what people have said online apparently there isnt as much content as mistlands

[ornate sigil]

It can go quick if you are prepared.

[vocal rivet]

You'll probably explore a higher percentage of it than other biomes, but it has the same number of resources, mobs, locations etc as any other biome.

[plush umbra]

Alright thanks

[gray sand]

Because people online, as always, are idiots?

[vocal rivet]

#general is currently proving that.

[plush umbra]

Fair enough

[clever saffron]

Can you spawn proof tar pits

[plush umbra]

yes

[short moon]

how long on average does the KRUMP waitlist get approved?

[vocal rivet]

Wrong server?

[ornate sigil]

Not long if you are a krump(et)😋...but ya, not sure that's Valheim related.

[tepid prawn]

be careful you can also spawn more then one at a time if you have more seeds, could spawn 5 with 15 seeds at the same time 🙂

[jade vessel]

lolll i just died to fall damage, i had just upgraided my feather cloak and it dequiped...

[ornate sigil]

Yep, things unequip when you upgrade them. Though I haven't died in that fashion, I have forgotten to eat and fallen off a roof and died while building, so I know your pain.

[vocal rivet]

There's a common saying in my server which goes 'Derek, where are your pants?'

[ornate sigil]

Whenever someone dies to fall damage?

[vocal rivet]

No, when they see me wandering around having not put my clothes back on after repairing / upgrading. I rarely actually die because of it.

[ornate sigil]

Ah, there's the connection.

I am paranoid and have my inventory open when repairing things so I can re-equip them asap.

[distant field]

Your inventory opens when you repair anyway... doesn't it? Am I imagining/misremembering that?

[foggy glacier]

it does

[ornate sigil]

Repair/upgrade item2, re-equip item1. Never fully without armor.

[pliant nest]

hi! anyone wanna join in?! looking for some valheim peeps

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[distant field]

No-one have any thoughts?

Am genuinely interested to know how people would approach this. How close does a Fuling camp need to be to a tar pit before you clear the camp first? Or would you drain the pits first, because growths are more annoying/problematic/whatever?

[foggy glacier]

when they're close enough, I'll kite them in to fighting each other with some well-placed warning shots.

otherwise I'll clear out the growths from the pit, then put in a couple campfires or workbenches to keep them from spawning while I clear the camp.

on your screenshots, looks like the pit & camp in the grove of birch might be close enough for that.

I'd clear the solitary tar pit first, if you haven't already done so, then the lone camp on the coast. that's where I'd drag all the blackmetal for pickup by longship when I'm done clearing the area.

[grand ravine]

this seems reasonable to me.

[distant field]

Yeah, that solitary, crossed out, tar pit has been drained, and the tar portaled back to base. And yeah, I’m thinking of clearing the camp near the cost first, and sailing from there.

I may do the kiting thing. Haven’t decided yet. But am leaning towards clearing out the growths (if the Lox haven’t done that already for me) and then spawn blocking the pits.

google what the 2 or 3 locations look like that can contain vegvisir, also you have a decent chance of finding one with sailing because it can be identified from far away if you know what it looks like

[austere belfry]

heading to my 11th sizable plains now x_x

[tepid prawn]

that is relatively unlucky but I had a run like that too, probably about 30h ingame until I found it was my worst

did you look what they look like the vegvisir spots? I think there is 3

do dwarf spawners no longer get blocked ?

[twilit vessel]

anyone know how to fix valheim crashing when you try to start a world

please help me i just bought it (happened on both steam and win10)

oh sorry i shouldve posted this in help sorry

[buoyant panther]

If by crashing you mean it just stays in the loading phase, what you're experiencing is normal. It's creating your world. You can tail/follow the player log to see what it's up to if I recall. Either way, just wait a bit and it should be fine.

[twilit vessel]

it says valheim isnt responding with a white screen

[distant field]

Yep, that’s normal. Just wait.

[twilit vessel]

oh

interesting ive never heard about that cheers though thanks

[distant field]

It’s generating the world. It takes a while.

[twilit vessel]

does it do this everytime?

[distant field]

Only when you create a new world.

[twilit vessel]

it fucking loaded

thank you mate i really appreciate it

[distant field]

It’s a very common question.

[buoyant panther]

Sure thing. Just a little downside to procedural generation. Now you get to enjoy the fun side, exploring a world made just for you. 🙂

[simple wharf]

Hey I'm getting very bad fps on my device. What do i do ?

[merry pebble]

Mess with settings mostly

[simple wharf]

no like i think there's a bug

[merry pebble]

Why do you think?

[simple wharf]

Because on the same setting i normally get 60 fps

But now i'm getting 12

The game Start UI is lagging

[merry pebble]

Are you sure you don't have anything doing stuff in background?

[simple wharf]

Nope I have checked with task manager

It might sound weird but valheim is not utilizing my CPU at all

[quick cradle]

Maybe do a file check from steam?

[merry pebble]

Eh? That Is strange, it should be quite CPU hungry

[quick cradle]

Verify the files ?

[merry pebble]

Maybe try restart of the game, Steam, PC and verify files?

[simple wharf]

I have tried all that

the problem gets solved temporarly after i reinstall the graphics drivers

but after i close the game and open after some time '

SO far I tried reseting and re- installing valheim. Deleting my ingame settting using registry editor and even completely reseting my windows

Only Reinstalling my graphics driver with custom clean install worked. But it only works for 1,2 time after i close my device and restart the game again. I will start getting poor fps again. The UI itself lags

[quick cradle]

Maybe try to put the screen in game in borderless then vchange it to fullscreen

[simple wharf]

i always play full screen and turning on/off vsync is not having any impact

[silk rivet]

In case you are using any mods, remove those.

[merry pebble]

Thats a good advice even for those without any problems 😛

[opal prairie]

Poking the mod user a tad are we?

[silk rivet]

I'm using mods myself, and have no intention of removing any unless there is a problem 😜

slain the yag

[robust delta]

congradulations

i had some nice music playing for that fight and it fitted greatly. had a part where i was dunking yag and a moment where i had to retreat and fight for my life, and my song managed to conveniently follow that flow. 10/10 epic fight

[austere belfry]

It was certainly memorable, though frustrating for the first 5 mins before I learned what to do. Seemed like even with the fire mead he did a lot of burn damage and felt like there with no openings to attack

[opal prairie]

Hugging his face during meteors is nice ^^

[austere belfry]

also his altar was right next to a fuling village which i didnt realize before starting the fight, so at the worst moments I was overrun by 1 an 2 star fulings ._.

still got him tho

[opal prairie]

I punched everything there is to punch in the ashlands except for mini boss and boss.
Even killed a morgen and a valkyrie with a punch, sliver of life left and I thought why not.

[merry pebble]

Niiiiiice 😄 you should be named "Kamap The Puncher" XD

[opal prairie]

I'll be the judge of that.

[robust delta]

nice. sounds like chaotic fun

guys if i use cart i can put all the slots ore and carry it ????

[merry pebble]

well full cart might be very difficult to pull but yeah

[quick cradle]

ohhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaa

[brisk dew]

Hi, So at some point I saw some video with people shooting giant mounted crossbows as defense, guessing their Real name is arbalest or something like that, is that A thing or was that fake?
I cant Find anything like that in game

[robust delta]

theoretically, but any kind of upward incline will make you sob. i tried bringing a cart up a mountain and oof lol. on the other hand though you could carry some ores urself to lessen the load of cart (at least it feels like that)

[quick cradle]

i just spend hour and i made it fullk with tint and copper

[merry pebble]

if you mean mounted ones then those are indeed from vanilla and are called balistas, you can unlock them in mistlands, you need black metal, yggdrasil wood and mechanical spring (you make that in artisan table)

[quick cradle]

now its full and im making a path with hoe to reach base

[brisk dew]

Arhh okay, so semi lategame, make sense I cant find anything yet 😄

You can make wisp torches

[quick cradle]

i wanna use portal it says an item preventing you / what is it ?

[merry pebble]

metal

there is a litle crossed portal icon in the corner

[quick cradle]

how can i use it with metal ?

[merry pebble]

you can enable teleporting metal with world modifiers, but i usually just use a boat or cart

[quick cradle]

u can go in portal with cart ?

[merry pebble]

no

[fair cairn]

boat it, cart it or change world settings to allow it
changing the world settings however removes a large portion of the game and makes some later thing from ashlands useless

[quick cradle]

i dont want to change the world i wanted to see the fastest way to transfer them cuze if i change the game wont be fun anymore

[fair cairn]

so you can use a cart,( dont load it too heavily) or use a boat (karve) or a later variant in swamp with more space

[robust delta]

yeah. judge from the two options which one is faster and go rambo from there haha

[obtuse remnant]

What weapon type are you most interested to see added to the game?

[azure yacht]

Throwing weapons but idk how they would be added into proper balance.

Javelins would be slightly redundant because that's spear's second attack so it would need to be changed.

Throwing axes is ranged slash and why would you use sword and especially axes for combat when you could deal the same dmg at a much safer distance?

Ranged combat in general is too difficult to balance in this game

[hidden gorge]

why would you use sword and especially axes for combat when you could deal the same dmg at a much safer distance?
seriously???

I imagine they'd implement it similar to the spear (if it ever gets added in, which I doubt).

The amount of levers at your disposal for balancing is vast: stamina usage, damage, attack speed are just a few of the basic ones; but ranged weapons can also be tweaked with flight characteristics like speed, arc/dropoff, and accuracy. "too difficult to balance" is an absurd sentiment

personally, I would love to see more thrown weapons to complement the spear: a stack of eg. 5 daggers or a couple throwing axes (generally trading off damage per shot with stack size to stay inline with the spear)

will I think it happen? highly doubtful -- only with mods I suspect

[fickle urchin]

lobster

[azure yacht]

Despite all "those levers at your disposal" ranged combat is still the most broken playstyle.

It literally involves killing everything at a distance, even bows being a weapon many enemies are resistant to is op. Now add magic...

And yes, believe it or not, something being difficult to balance is an important sentiment.

Balance is not thinking something for like five seconds and then you go "yes, this will work perfectly and not broken or too weak at all". Only thing that is absurd is thinking that balance is NOT difficult

[hidden gorge]

ranged combat is pretty good, no qualms there -- but... give enemy AI the ability to use shields and/or innate bonuses to ranged attacks if they've got a shield -- could easily provide variety and a way to add challenge for ranged focused combat

[azure yacht]

But the AI in this game is way too dumb to attempt anything complex

And it can still outsmart the average player apparently, it's unbelievable

[fickle urchin]

my most hated part of getting metal is smelting it

[hidden gorge]

but that's something that can be fixed.

and I'm not saying balance is "easy" -- in general it takes a lot of iteration and time involved getting it right. I'm just disagreeing with the sentiment that ranged stuff in particular is "too difficult" compared to everything else.

[hidden gorge]

I treat it like farming -- put everything in and then go on an adventure for a few days. Coming home to a pile of goodies then becomes a bonus, not a drag

[obtuse remnant]

Imagine if the secondary attack for the berserkir axes threw them both instead

[fickle urchin]

waste of resource

[silent oriole]

hey guys. can anyone give me a general tip on how to progress. so i beat bonemass just now, now i need to go to mountains. i have a few small ones on the island, and think i may get like 1 silver node maybe. i have a big mountain next to the bonemass with the dragon ontop. is it worth going there, or should i just sail up to the north border of the seed and just stay there in the ice biome to not waste time on small mountains?

[obtuse remnant]

Not every biome you find will be of sufficient size. The game revolves around traveling/sailing. Set up a spare portal in your base and just go out to find things.

If you didn't know, the world generation works such that the harder biomes are generally further out from the center of the map (where you originally spawned in)

[silent oriole]

i know it. i ask should i visit the sufficiently big mountain i have next to an outpost, since the boss is also on it, or just go straight to the north border by boat and just fuck around there in the snow

[obtuse remnant]

The Deep North isn't a finished biome and there isn't much use to going there. Plus if you do, when the next world update comes out it won't work for you since it was already explored

[buoyant ether]

im making my dream base 😎 into those pillars u find on swamps

[silent oriole]

oh. so the north border isn't the big biome with those caves and stuff where i find the fenrirs and whatnot

[buoyant ether]

its supposedly the last biome added to the game

[nocturne wolf]

You find frost caves in mountains. The Deep North is empty, and will receive content in a future update.

[obtuse remnant]

Send a picture of your map with where you are referring

[buoyant ether]

this is such a fun way to build honestly

would recommend trying it out

[silent oriole]

welp no embeds. but basically the north border. but since i know now its empty, i focus on mountains i discover naturally

[distant field]

What do you mean by ‘the north border’?

And, you can post images in #screenshots and link, to the post there, here.

[silent oriole]

why is the term "north border" so confusing? 😂

its the rim of the circle in the north

[vocal rivet]

Because so far you've described in three different incorrect ways.

[silent oriole]

please enlighten me how i described the north border incorrect.
but i now looked at the wiki and the northern border isn't even mountains. its called deep north. so no north yet. understood

[obtuse remnant]

If you are talking about the VERY top of the world, that is the Deep North and you've gone too deep. Come back home.

[silent oriole]

i assumed stuff on mountains and the stuff in the north, the deep north, are the same. now i know its two entirely different things

[distant field]

A border is the edge between two regions. So I guess you could think of the edge of the world as a border, but I doubt many would refer to it that way. And given that there are biomes right next to each other, one might assume you meant the northern most edge of your starting Meadows biome, where it meets, and borders with, another biome.

In short, “border” is an ambiguous and, in the context of Deep North, inaccurate term.

[silent oriole]

i said the world. like the entire circle thing. but i see your point. anyway all i needed to know is clear now. thanks.

[weak marsh]

Does anyone have any later stage weapons, armor etc I can have?

[vocal rivet]

Why are you not making your own?

[keen cliff]

a huge part of the game, is making your way from biome to biome, getting the newer materials and making the newer gear. By just asking for later stage stuff, you're not playing the game.

[fair cairn]

he may as well just spawn in the stuff he wants and it wouldnt make a different

[indigo beacon]

just say yes or no dont critisize them for asking

[azure yacht]

Literally all of those messages are essentially saying "no" so that's redundant to state

[keen cliff]

yeah, i think the response of: use dev commands to spawn in whatever you want is probably the most useful 🙂

[azure yacht]

Repeat after me: Trading with other players outside of your own world in a game where items can be very easily spawned is completely worthless

[indigo beacon]

alright my bad for saying anything

[normal lava]

Derek, I violently agree with your sentiment, but you should lighten up.

[vocal rivet]

if you agree, then why the hell are you still pushing my buttons?

[keen cliff]

Because it's easy, and is bringing me some amount of joy apparently.

[vocal rivet]

OK, blocked it is then 😕

Absolutely zero time for bullshit like that.

[keen cliff]

Woo. That may be the first time I've been blocked. 🙂

[grand ravine]

so i got some wolves. awooo. now I need to finish garden and outer wall.

[keen cliff]

oh man, the awoo.

[grand ravine]

so much stone omg.

[keen cliff]

I just watched a video of 12 1star wolves beating Mordor in like 30 seconds

[grand ravine]

i wanna try a pack of wolves with yag

[keen cliff]

please screen record and share if you do

i have a feeling I will be trying to get 2star wolves in this run

[grand ravine]

haven't finished placing jump-ups for the 2star quest yet

but run speed seems good with iron legs, root chest, iron helm. with serpent stew I think it'll be ez

[grand ravine]

lol idk if my laptop will like that tbh. it's notnew

maybe I'll try it

also, now, i really wanna know how many asksvin it would take to kill yag...I'm thinkin like 3 should work but i wanna test

[grand ravine]

so worth. if you don't mind wolf rugs and dropping meat/fangs in obliterator, they even work pretty well for base perimeter defence into mistlands

[keen cliff]

it's probably unnescesaary, unless Mordor happens to be on the mountain near my base

then i'll probably kill her with wolves

[grand ravine]

all the most fun stuff is unnecessary. o.o

[keen cliff]

even from 0 star wolves, i have a feeling i'm never going to run out of wolf meat, and fur. not much use for tons of it

true dat

[grand ravine]

i put wolf rugs everywhere now. but tbh with 2stars you won't have an excess problem until plains atleast, they don't actually die often until you're near mosquitoes or get bros raid, that kinda thing

right now I'm still putting off bonemass, so I'll want pelts/trophies/skewers soon. but even 0stars at this stage take the thinking out of base security. greydwarfs/raids aren't gonna bother me while i work on my outer wall

[keen cliff]

yeah, if i had 2 star wolves i would do the same with rugs. why ot

[grand ravine]

oh this reminds me. so I'm planning for a lox box and, i put a roof over them before, but wiki says they need no roof to breed? is wiki just wrong or does roof and walls inhibit breeding? like i used roofs to keep corewood health up but i didn't fill in walls around them because they're on the top of a rock above mosquito aggro range

[gentle ridge]

No need for roof

[grand ravine]

i get that. i just wanted the wood pieces to not decay. but now im curious

it's relevant because in this new base they'll be low enough to freak out during bat raids

[gentle ridge]

The biggest problem of building anything around them is they will aggro and destroy

I tend to keep mine in excavated tar pits. that way when the growths spawn the lox stomp them and I get lots of tar

[grand ravine]

🤔 i like this idea quite a lot

[gentle ridge]

Keep 3 or 4 in an excavated tarpit, feed them after you visit them to keep them healthy

collect your one or two tar each visit

every three days

[grand ravine]

I'm still curious about the roof thing, because my others have a roof and breed just fine

[gentle ridge]

I can breed them with a roof, and have done so in a mountain biome where I didn't want drakes to kill them

But I had to keep the roof so high above them so they didn't destroy things I ended up removing them

[grand ravine]

mmm, do you have walls around them there too?

i feel like wiki is just wrong about the roof(/shelter?) inhibiting breeding

[gentle ridge]

I used raised terrain, as they destroyed walls as soon as they aggro

[grand ravine]

mmm yeah sounds like wiki is wrong. probably doesn't generally matter but i was curious

the top of the plains rock worked really well but this new base doesn't have any nearby. iguess ill just mess around and see how it goes, might end up just keeping them somewhere else

[silent oriole]

could anyone explain to me. is it a translation thing that gets lost?
so i wondered if i should craft two handed axes for woodcutting. then the internet says: no, they have less chopping power than one handed axes
apparently it should be visible, but in my game they only show slashing damage
or was that changed?

[obtuse remnant]

Was Bonemass changed sometime in the past year and a half? I just fought him with a friend for the first time in a long time and I thought he spawned blobs

[distant field]

Chop damage for axes is not visible in game, you can look it up in the wiki, just a sec, I'll grab a link...

[distant field]

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

[silent oriole]

cool thanks.

i expected more upgrades in silver age 😂

[gray sand]

They also don't have aoe reduction though, so they are better for chopping multiple trees at once. 🤷‍♂️

[silent oriole]

i guess the crystal axe could be an "upgrade" to iron

especially when secondary strike is used

[distant field]

Do you know whether Berserker axes follow the one-handed or two-handed rules for aoe damage?

[gray sand]

No idea.

[grand ravine]

🤔 i would think one-handed, but not much survives very long anyway, even in a larger mob

[distant field]

Actually, now I'm wondering what their other stats and properties are. Are they treated as two one-handed axes, or a two-handed that visually looks like two axes? Or are they their own thing? 🤔

[grand ravine]

time for science!

[obtuse remnant]

This is why we need our own wiki. I refuse to use Fandom

[grand ravine]

this could be interesting for chopping wood especially. pretty sure the chop animation is faster than any other axe, also

[distant field]

The Fandom one is maintained by people here.

[distant field]

I can certainly clear my entire tree farm much more quickly with them.

[vocal rivet]

That IS our Wiki.

[obtuse remnant]

Well... it is the wiki that Iron Gate chose probably because there was no other option. wiki.gg or IG hosting their own is superior in every single way

[vocal rivet]

What's your point? Doesn't really affect the content.

[keen cliff]

Fandom wiki UI is cancer on mobile especially

the content is there, sure. but the presentation is just bad. not Valheim's fault, just Fandom being Fandom

[ornate sigil]

I haven't had major issues with the website on mobile, and my phone hates most websites.

[vocal rivet]

Which site, the Wiki? Yeah, it's not great. Especially tables.

[ornate sigil]

But like all things, opinions vary.

[keen cliff]

The ads are very obtrusive is the main thing, imo of course

[odd helm]

I believe there is not enough of a push/manpower to move from Fandom to an alternative at this time, iirc. I'd support moving to .gg of course, but I'm not in charge of it.

[keen cliff]

does Fandom support an export of wiki data?

[vocal rivet]

It would be a huge undertaking. I don't know how that would work at this point.

[keen cliff]

i've managed a variety of wikis at various companies over the years, and have migrated from one wiki software to the other, multiple time. the latest was mediawiki to blah confluence

it can be easy or hard depending on the wikis in question

depends on how good the export/import tools are, plus how pure the support of markdown is

[onyx skiff]

how am i supposed to get my stuff back? im in this tall tower and i died at the bottom, there is this boss mage goblin who just camps my grave😭 🙏

[odd helm]

Retreating and returning with a new set of gear is usually a safe bet

[ornate sigil]

With all due haste. Joke aside, get a old set of armor and run in, grab your stuff, and run out again till you can re-equip yourself. Don't forget to lay a portal down.

[distant field]

How far in to the room is your grave?

[onyx skiff]

its at the chest room

[distant field]

How far into the chest room?

[onyx skiff]

uhh the problem is we have a bed at the top of the tower and the closest portal is going thru plains into the mistlands

[onyx skiff]

its at the entrance of the room i think

[obtuse remnant]

tfw you do a corpse run but are carrying more than 300 weight and you can't loot the corpse easily

[ornate sigil]

BRS could be a solution if everything else fails. https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

[distant field]

Then run down, but sneak at the bottom of the stairs, and grab your gear.

[odd helm]

Corpse run buff does give you an inventory weight increase equal to megingjord

[keen cliff]

it's funny when raids don't despawn. Brenna was just chilling out in the meadow, and then started running around killing things

[onyx skiff]

yess i got my stuff and ran off safely but i want to kill this guy but i got no food😭 🙏

[odd helm]

As long as your inventory is empty when you pick up the grave, you should be unimpeded even before wearing the belt again

[onyx skiff]

just remember to close the grave

[distant field]

Retreat and gear up.

[obtuse remnant]

Is that only after you loot it? I swear I've gotten stuck many times with an empty inventory and being unable to gather all my belongings (without clicking the items)

[onyx skiff]

its gonna take so long but ig its the best choice

[odd helm]

Aye

You have to pick up all items to get it

[obtuse remnant]

I'd join the editing team if it was moved

[vocal rivet]

Can't see it happening. Don't think there's much interest from the devs.

[odd helm]

I'd gladly help as well~

[onyx skiff]

what biome is the mist sword meant to obtain in?

[keen cliff]

for giggles i just downloaded the database from Fandom. Trying to open it now and take a look

for some reason my machine isn't panding the 7z file properly

[odd helm]

Mistwalker? It's a Mistlands weapon, biome 6 in progression

[vocal rivet]

Well, you might have more sway with the devs than the rest of us.

[obtuse remnant]

I think IG needs to apply to join wiki.gg. That should be the easy part... The hard part is on the community

[onyx skiff]

how hard is it to get? we defeated moder yesterday and we got the black forge

[vocal rivet]

It is? Do you know how many editors we have?

[odd helm]

You probably want to defeat Yagluth first at the very least

[keen cliff]

there are 2285 users

the majority have single dgit page edits

[onyx skiff]

we gave up on him cus we didnt find his location

[obtuse remnant]

If it is anything like the VDC wiki, guessing somewhere between 6-11 active editors

[odd helm]

Mistlands is nigh impossible to navigate without his boss drop, I would insist

[keen cliff]

90% so far, even though Fandom doesn't let me see this easy

[orchid grail]

how did you get the black forge? did you clean some mines already?

[onyx skiff]

what is there to navigate? we found 2 dungeons already and we found this uhh tower full of blue dwarfs

[onyx skiff]

a big monster mined us a stack of marble

and we found 10 cores

[keen cliff]

only 47 users have contributed 100 times or more

[odd helm]

Well, the mist

[onyx skiff]

i just trust on the 100 fall dmg cap

[odd helm]

That's a dangerous gamble~

[orchid grail]

oh okay makes sense, but yeah you will still need the wisplight to properly go around mistlands

it's borderline unplayable without it

[ornate sigil]

It's the difference of seeing the distance of a atgeir swing(without wisp) and a workbench build area (with wisp) IMO.

[onyx skiff]

i sent a pic of our map and idk we can do some progress without the wisplight

and the only reason i went this far was to get the skoll and hati

can i give the dvergers something

[serene hollow]

Honestly killing yag is not a requirement. It only helps you see farther but you can be seen easier as well so it is a tradeoff. Most speed runners don't do wisplight at all. Mistlands is about learning the environment what to look (and more importantly listen) for. Yag is a fun fight and worth finding him, but you can do all the mistlands including queen without him.

[ornate sigil]

Not really, unless you count giving money for goods to haldor and hildir

[onyx skiff]

they needa make an update where you could join their clan😞

[onyx skiff]

idk i just want the mist walker

[orchid grail]

you still need to defeat yagluth to get it

[serene hollow]

Then you may need yag I cant remember if you need a wisp to craft it.

[orchid grail]

yeah you need wisps sadly

[serene hollow]

Yag is required to capture wisps to make the sword.

[orchid grail]

however I'm not sure if you destroy those wisptorchs around mistlands you get wisps

then you could very much skip yag without missing anything

[onyx skiff]

is it only craftable once?

[orchid grail]

nah

[serene hollow]

can make it as much as you have the mats for it.

[onyx skiff]

alr

uhh i got my stuff back from the tall tower but i forgot to put a spawnpoint so rn im stuck in the tower cus the spawnpoint is here and i have nothing to break it with

wait i just did /resetspawn

wow man

[keen cliff]

can anyone actually go to this page, and download and extract the le .7z file at the bottom? https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Statistics

i am just trying this one: Current pages (This version is usually best for bot use): 2024-05-19 15:42:32

it's failed to extract for me with 4 different utilities

[naive moat]

guys how do you make a boat

we are trying to get to the elder but just found out we are on an island

[grand ravine]

I'm just on my phone but it seemed to extract okay

[abstract oyster]

whats the point of mistland gear needing ashland materials for black forge upgrade so you can get them past lvl 2?
Wouldn't you just rather craft Ashland gear at that point?

[ornate sigil]

The first boat (karve) needs finewood and bronze/copper nails among other things. Check the wiki for the exact items.

[naive moat]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Raft does the raft not exist?

[keen cliff]

What phone?

[ornate sigil]

A raft should work but it is very slow, has no storage and has very little health(should you hit a rock or something).

[grand ravine]

android but it shouldn't really make a difference? they all just use linux utilities afaik

[orchid grail]

the next boat (after raft) requires nails which you make from bronze, so if you guys have a small black forest in your starter island you might be able to craft it eventually before sailing

[grand ravine]

https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsdtar/

try that

[azure yacht]

If you want to

[keen cliff]

I'm on macOS. I may brew install a more standard utility. Er. I guess I could copy to a Linux machine.

[azure yacht]

Mistwalker, demolisher and himminafl are still worth using in ashlands.

Spinesnap too for a while

[ornate sigil]

@keen cliff the file you are trying to open, besides needing 7zip or winzip, is a xml file, so AFAIK you will need to open it with a spreadsheet/ word proccessor program after extracting the data.

[vocal rivet]

Unclear what it will tell anyone that they can't read in the browser.

[grand ravine]

ah. well i dont use mac but macos runs on linux kernel as well...see if it's maybe already there? use terminal

[abstract oyster]

fair enough, just feels a bit unconventional compared to how the upgrading system has previously worked

[grand ravine]

id be surprised if you have to brew bsdtar..

[keen cliff]

tar: Archive entry has empty or unreadable filename ... skipping.
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.```

it's the same error the other apps get. there's some encoding problem with the filenames on macos

[grand ravine]

use bsdtar explicitly

[keen cliff]

same error: % bsdtar xvf valheim_pages_current.xml.7z bsdtar: Archive entry has empty or unreadable filename ... skipping. bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

[grand ravine]

filename o.O

OH

[keen cliff]

oh snap

hrm, no

[grand ravine]

yes, the xml in there is not named

errr, its a compressed file not an archive

[keen cliff]

oh. huh. ok.

[grand ravine]

try specifying an output filename

[keen cliff]

that makes sense, let me fiddle

[obtuse remnant]

When I cleared Mistlands on my first playthrough I struggled for a long time and never got a great opportunity to explore and appreciate the beauty of the biome. The change to the feather cloak coupled with the Ask set feels so good to run around in Mistlands

[keen cliff]

finally just bew installed p7zip:

now, to try installing a wiki into a container and seeing if I can import this thing

[grand ravine]

not a fan of 7z, btw >.>

[keen cliff]

me either. hah

[near furnace]

🤔

[naive moat]

can you dismantle a boat?

[cinder nymph]

B-but 7zip is best

[near furnace]

no. but attack it until it breaks and pickup items

[orchid grail]

stand in the middle of the boat while you break it so you pick up the materials instantly and prevent them of sinking in deep waters

[grand ravine]

iguess? if you like unnecessary quirky proprietary problematic funny business...i guess...
o.o

[naive moat]

guys theres some rune that says you cant mind wood on this island near the elder?

can i not cut down woood???

[grand ravine]

iguess proprietary isn't the right word. but can't put my finger on the right one. gonna bug me now

[grand ravine]

..wha..?

[keen cliff]

runestones are flavor text, generally. you can cut wood

[naive moat]

ah thanks. also what are ways to anchor the boat so it dont drift off?

[keen cliff]

if you hop off the boat when throttle is set to 0 (no arrows), it will float in place and not leave

there are possibilities of it getting destroyed by creatures or potentially smashed against the shore. some people will destroy their board with a weapon and then put it in a chest when not using it

[naive moat]

i heard you dojnt get the stuuff back from breaking boats?

[keen cliff]

you do, but make sure you're beating on the mast, and in shallow water. deep water, there's a risk of losing the components

[naive moat]

ah right thanks. also for our portal, how much should we protect it?

can we leave it on land? or should we build a building around it to stop monsters? etc/

[keen cliff]

i don't have experience with multiplayer servers and portals. in my single player, if i portal out when the area is clear, it stops the world in that area since i'm far away i think, so nothing destroys it. occasionally i put some walls around it if there are worries

[orchid grail]

I usually build a small hut without tall walls and I put the portal inside, but it's not really necessary. I'll show:)

[clever saffron]

My portals will not connect they have the exact same tag someone help

[azure yacht]

Grausten doesn't have any particular advantages over other build pieces right? Afaik it's even weaker than black marble in general but idk about vs stone

[buoyant panther]

@clever saffron did you match capitalization? Make sure you don't have leading or trailing spaces as well.

[clever saffron]

Yes the portal tags match exactly

[tepid prawn]

Spinesnap level 4 is almost better than any Ashfang, especially if you use it mostly for valk

[buoyant panther]

If that's so, time to remove the metal from your inventory 🙂

[clever saffron]

There is none the portal just won’t work at all

[nocturne wolf]

What happens when you reload the world?

[misty sun]

There is a third portal with that name?

[orchid grail]

the durability is a lot more handy but that lightning proc is OP

[fair cairn]

whats in your inventory? and have you tested with antoher pair of portals?

[distant field]

Well, Root Ripper and a rock to stand on makes easy work of small Fuling camps... Not tried it on one with beserkers or shaman yet, though...

[granite thunder]

Did they ever fix breeding? I remember having an asinine amount of wolves a couple years back because they bred like rabbits lol

[grand ravine]

you can't breed rabbits

[trail lotus]

you miss the point there 😂

[grand ravine]

no, you really can't breed rabbits in valheim

[trail lotus]

y0u still missing the point

[grand ravine]

an asinine number of wolves is the appropriate amount.

[grand ravine]

nono, I'm just making a different point. 🙂

[granite thunder]

You most certainly can!

[grand ravine]

welp. i found a 2star. got it halfway back to the trap and also found a fenring, a 1star and a greydwarf. 2star chased the greydwarf, fenring and 1star managed to kill me. by the time i got back, 2star had gone back to the other side of the mountain and another fenring was waiting for me. and then morning came.

so, y'know...it's going well.

[grand ravine]

• without admin commands

[odd helm]

I feel ya

Feels like every time I try to tame 2* wolves I just give up halfway through

From either deaths or hassle trying to contain one when I finally find it

[granite thunder]

Aaahhh but u said u cant!

[grand ravine]

mehh, it'll be worth it. only took me like 3 nights to find a 2star, so my hopes are high. it could be worse, this mountain patch has no drakes..

also if one spawns closer to the trap it'll be ez

[odd helm]

Good luck~

[grand ravine]

[elder tendon]

Maybe make a 2nd trap on the other side of the mountain while you're waiting.

[grand ravine]

i could do that yeah, theres a nice little spot over there too

[elder tendon]

Doubles your chances! And possibly your deaths, too. But, you know, risk reward... 🙂

[frosty timber]

question, just started playing again first time in a citadel and just cleared it do i need to use the ram to break down center tower door or is there another way? I built marble blocks and went over the side so havent built any siege weapons yet

[elder tendon]

Umm... citadel?

[grand ravine]

you can undermine the center tower

[frosty timber]

ashlands

[elder tendon]

Oh, right. Forgot about that.

[frosty timber]

ahh ty

[grand ravine]

but, there are many uses for the ram. might want to play around with that 👍

[frosty timber]

damn this thing goes deep lol

[grand ravine]

yeah i dug one out for a base and i was able to make 3-4 storeys below the outer wall. lots of room

[elder tendon]

Thanks. That's good info. I never thought of doing that. 😄

[grand ravine]

yeah they're awesome. ironically probably the most secure base location thus far in the game because no enemies can damage the walls. i just aligned a grid to a wall corner and filled the whole space with 4x4 grausten floors, the center tower is close enough to provide support with no poles between. havent tried a proper roof yet but everything under the grausten floors is perfectly safe

i always go over the outer wall now instead of breaking the door. pretty easy to take out the spawners once you have stairs up too

[ionic iron]

A good suggestion idea would be the ability to snap flametal gates to the fortess door frames after you’ve broken the existing door.

So you can make a functioning base

[grand ravine]

i just put stairs down the outside of the wall, can put a door there, but, from what i could tell the flametal gate is a slightly different shape than the original door, so you'd still have to place other pieces as well. and part of the advantage of going over the wall is that no enemies can damage the original door, where they could damage a flametal gate

[cinder prawn]

I gotta say the queen is the worst solo fight

[keen cliff]

oh the joy i'm taking right now, levelling the land all around Bonemass' shrine. screw this swamp . lets pave the whole thing

[grand ravine]

make the whole area paved road

[keen cliff]

i like the way you think

first i'm leveling all the trees i can, then the traditional tree house, and since this is on the ocean, i'm going to extend a big ass dock out to another invulnerable tree that out there in the ocean

then i'll finish exploring this swamp, and the sail out all the iron. then i'll finally whup this guy

turn his shrine into a seaside resort

[grand ravine]

yeah!! with wolves!

errrr...

[ornate sigil]

the "bog soggy dog lounge" has a nice ring to it

[grand ravine]

omg yes

[ornate sigil]

😋

[grand ravine]

orr...soggy doggy boggy ....somethin

[crimson cradle]

the cart is mad useful

i got my whole base wall finished in only 15 minutes

[ornate sigil]

the cart is also a terror on anything but flat land.

[crimson cradle]

i should be ready for the elder now that ive put up some defenses

[crimson cradle]

well only if youre not determined

[ornate sigil]

or overly so and flip it....hasn't happened to me specifically, but I have heard the story's.

[crimson cradle]

ive only flipped the cart once, and it wasnt that bad

[keen cliff]

i'm gonna pave this swamp and drive the cart all around it

[ornate sigil]

was it full of ore? like silver? becaus that is the majority of the story's.

"was running from wolves and it flipped on the way down the mountain and now im dead" kinda thing.

[dire violet]

Surprisingly, I Didn't kill myself with it, I ended up killing someone else. We were carting a payload of iron back to the dock in the hellswamps, I don't remember exactly how it happened but I ended up bumping my cart into my buddy behind me,

He ended up in the drink with about 5 or 6 leaches waiting for him

[keen cliff]

leeches do gather in greater numbers near the ocean it seems

[dire violet]

It was like shark week, he didn't stand a chance

[ornate sigil]

them poison stacks are nothing to laugh at.

[dire violet]

And to make it all worse, we didn't even have the iron armor yet. Those cartloads were meant to get us at least +2 iron halberks

So he got shredded in cheap bronze armor

[grand ravine]

lolll it was like shark week

[ornate sigil]

interesting little detail I noticed while doing a lot of sailing, there are 2 loud breaking noises when your ship takes damage(specifically the longship). on the second time, if you look at the ship floor near your feet, you will see floorboards bent out of shape. thats how I can tell I need to find a close shore and repair.

[grand ravine]

@misty sun how many asksvin did you take? how long was the fight?

[sharp yew]

just spent about 4 hours trying to find Haldor

[keen cliff]

what the heck. the swamp tree out in the ocean is Plains?

[grand ravine]

did you find him?

[sharp yew]

I sailed around a huge area around my starter island (which was huge by itself already)

[sharp yew]

nope, not yet

[keen cliff]

#screenshots message

that tree out in the ocean is Plains. come on

[grand ravine]

this last time, when i gave up and started lookimg for swamps instead, i found him like 15 minutes later

[sharp yew]

I do have a base in the swamp biome already, I didn't get too much iron mined yet because it's cumbersome to do it without the belt

so I went searching for him instead, but it's a pain to find him, I posted a suggestion about it, there could be a runestone that shows you his location same way there is for bosses

[grand ravine]

yeah I was trying to find him before samps for the belt. spent several hours running around black forest, decided to take a break and scout some swamps, and found turnip seeds and haldor almost right away. hehhhh

[sharp yew]

since he spawns in black forest there his tablet could be inside a troll cave, there is stuff that is unlocked by defeating the elder so it'd feel more rewarding

if the killing the elder is intented progress to unlock stuff in his store, being able to get to him before doing so would feel better

[grand ravine]

that could work, but it's a good reason to get out and explore. i found a lot of good stuff while looking that i probably wouldn't have otherwise

[sharp yew]

I don't feel that the game is in a state where exploring is that rewarding

one example is draugr villages, they could have some exclusive resource to find in them so that they aren't just a novelty and there is a reward for the exploration

[distant field]

Bees?

[sharp yew]

you can find bee hives in any wood building, not necessarily the villages that spawn with draugr inside of them

[grand ravine]

🤔 I've decided i like using the body piles in them for skill training. i raise ground over/around them to make a pit, and i can level skills pretty fast/safely there

[ornate sigil]

body piles are also great for trophies. that's how I got a draugr elite one.

46 eggs, only about 20 actually joined, along with 3 lox, and it was over in less then 20 seconds.

[grand ravine]

aaahahahahaha

very nice

Anyone else have lag from playing online lately?

had massive lag around my village, which hadn't happened, before. I even adjusted some settings down and that didn't help.

o.o there's nobody here... this is unusual.

[sturdy linden]

I'm here but I have nothing to say for that particular issue sadly 😛

[carmine kestrel]

~.~ so it's just me then? I thought maybe it might have something to do with the Cloud issue from Friday

It's been going on all weekend. I haven't gotten to play much

[sturdy linden]

I'm not playing online, so can't help 😦

I am using steam cloud for saves, but I didn't notice any particular effect so far

[carmine kestrel]

same here. I had my server turned on though, since I'm never sure if anyone will wanna join

[sturdy linden]

Could also be that my current build I'm working on is at 45k instances so any additionnal lag is added to the already existing lag 😂

[carmine kestrel]

It just seems laggy. I haven't tried full offline, yet. Thought I'd ask around, before I did.

[hidden gorge]

personally, no -- but it has come up quite a bit since ashlands release

[carmine kestrel]

@rustic cairn o.o this may be out of line, but I wanna say that I like your title. ❤️ btw☕

@hidden gorgeOh hey good to see you again. So maybe it's just a fluke?

[hidden gorge]

networking stuff is notoriously difficult, it could be a lot of things

[proper prism]

I play online on a dedicated server. No lag issues detected for anyone playing on that server

[carmine kestrel]

I'd kind of hate to have to start over on my Funland Game. Think I should keep it offline, for now, and see how it goes?

[hidden gorge]

physical distance between players on the planet is potentially a problem

[carmine kestrel]

I'm usually the only one logged into the server, but I think someone might've joined a little while.

[hidden gorge]

I generally just host when I'm playing and expect/want company -- certainly won't hurt to turn it offline

[proper prism]

All other games working flawlessly?

[carmine kestrel]

I'm playing off a laptop, but Albion, Honkai Third Impact, and Shop Titans seem fine

I haven't tried to log into Monster Hunter World, but I haven't played it in months.

Even Palia seemed ok, the other day.

[proper prism]

Don’t know any of them so wouldn’t know if they’re comparable performance wise 😂

But if everything works perfect except for valheim then maybe try to verify the files or whatever?

[carmine kestrel]

Palia is kind of like Valheim, but there's not really any fighting. There's base building and crafting, but it's kinda like a sim game too.

I might do that. btw I'm only playing Albion to help my nephew craft ~.~ detail oriented gathering is kinda my jam.

[proper prism]

You don’t have to justify your kinks to me np

But try a verify and see if it helps might’ve been some update that wonked some of your files etc.

[carmine kestrel]

XD Well... It's not my favorite is all. I've been asked why a PVEer would play a PVP game by a lot of people >.>

[hidden gorge]

good to see you too but I'm prolly off to bed soon. When the sun goes over the pacific, that's when most people are sleeping (or just getting up) so idk if its that unusual. way past my own bedtime for sure.

[sturdy linden]

Yup very late for USTZ and very early for EUTZ 😛

[carmine kestrel]

@hidden gorge Go get some rest. I'm just up at this time, since I have to be on call for my data entry job

[hidden gorge]

oof, that sucks on call is the worst

[carmine kestrel]

~.~ I can work from home, but they can call me all hours of the day to XD do data entry work.

Kind of an insomniac because of it.

[sturdy linden]

Hey, if he's paid to sit and play valheim, that's alright to me ahah

[hidden gorge]

yeah that's fair... I just don't miss it at all 😛

[carmine kestrel]

No gaming is my hobby. @sturdy linden I do this between work jobs and naps.

[sturdy linden]

Yeah I understand don't worry 😄

Was just a silly joke ^^
(I especially understand since I used to play EVE Online, where such behaviour is very, very common ahah)

[carmine kestrel]

I have severe asthma and a weak immune system anyway. I don't get outside much.
