@sturdy linden It's what happens, when you are born a month early and are tiny ^.^;

[rustic cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/need-more-coffee-grumpy-cat-christmas-cheer-bah-humbug-gif-12423663

[carmine kestrel]

@proper prism Says all files are verified so maybe it's just network lag. ~.~ guess I'll play offline for a bit and see what happens.

[proper prism]

I’m on call too. Or atleast I was. On my way to work the last 3 hours of my standby 😩

Can’t complain tho. Could’ve been 10 out of 10 hours 🤷🏼‍♂️

[carmine kestrel]

@proper prism Yeah. I can work anywhere from 8 to 12 hours a day, depending on when they call me.

[proper prism]

Yeah varies here too but max 11 hours. So I’ve been in my sofa for 7 out of 10 hours today so that’s pretty good 😂

[carmine kestrel]

@proper prism Be careful on your way. Hope it isn't raining where you are. It's been pouring outside my place.

[proper prism]

It’s pretty hot outside so a little rain will only be welcome tbh. Then head home and pickup my new keyboard because my cat obliterated my current one. And I need a new one tonight for gaming

Need to build a big boy tower so I can shoot drakes 💪🏻

[carmine kestrel]

XD Cats are good for that though. Mine killed my previous controller with her tail.

@proper prism >.> I'm like way way far behind you. I'm still trying to find the Black Forest Shop

[proper prism]

Ah cool. Me and a bunch of online friends started a new world and we just killed bone mass so now we have annoying drakes showing up

[carmine kestrel]

I have to do some sailing, which is why I was worried about lag T.T

[sturdy linden]

Big boy tower you say ?
Check #screenshots ahah

[carmine kestrel]

If my boat sinks I'm XD never getting what I had on me back. I can't do a body run to the bottom of the ocean.

@sturdy linden how are you in the air????

[proper prism]

That looks like a big cheat/mod tower with the flying etc 😛

[sturdy linden]

Wave if you need help recovering a body, I'll gladly help 😄

[proper prism]

Cool nonetheless 👍🏻

[sturdy linden]

I'm using the fly command to build this monstruous build so yeah ^^

[sturdy linden]

Only using the fly command and obviously spawning rocks to reset stability checks, but otherwise survival ressource wise 😄

[carmine kestrel]

XD grats on that. Maybe one of these days I'll catch up. First, I need to get all the materials for portals and find the dumb merchant.

[proper prism]

Understandable then. I only play vanillaheim. No help with anything. Annoying at times but I prefer it that way. It’s a slippery slope otherwise I’ve learned 😄

[sturdy linden]

Even went the extra mile and added flametal pillars all throughout the build to mimic what you would need to get to max height build even though I didn't need it 😄

[carmine kestrel]

@proper prism if it's slopes... Take the leveling tool XD I make little ledges with it.

[sturdy linden]

Technically this this could be vanilla, since all the mods I am using are QoL mods, but cheat enabled for fly and spawn for sure 🙂

[carmine kestrel]

dumb question here... How do you get enough resin to keep >.> I don't know maybe 40 torches going???

I haven't come up with a good solution for that, yet XD

[proper prism]

Mods are mods. I refuse all of them. But to each their own etc

[sturdy linden]

Easiest way would be to have a greydwarf afk farm using the spawners in the black forest

[carmine kestrel]

@sturdy linden omg x.x the Grey Nests?

so if I just don't destroy them.... Those guys infinitely spawn?

I have pretty much all of the ones on my current map XD labeled.

[sturdy linden]

There are two mods I couldn't play without now, especially when doing builds like this : one that allows me to fetch ressources from nearby containers and another one that allows me to place some of the vanilla unacessible plants like bushes or vines. Greenery helps bring a build to cozy level soooo much 😄

[sturdy linden]

yes, and you can use a few different technics to afk farm them 🙂

they are also a very good way to level up weapon skills ! 😄

[carmine kestrel]

ok I know what I'm going to do for each wood and resin XD chest around the village.

[proper prism]

I get it 🙂

[carmine kestrel]

I can't use my deer hammer though D: it'll bust up the spawners

Maybe I could upgrade a club or something for them...

[sturdy linden]

dig a little under the spawner and make a funnel, wait at the end for them 😛

If I recall correctly, they'll spawn up to 4m under the spawner, further down they stop spawning

[carmine kestrel]

have you ever used a deer hammer though?@sturdy linden it hits six spaces in front of you.

[sturdy linden]

Yes 🙂

Great weapon !
So like I said, just attract them away from the spawner 😄

And make sure they have no other way around it too

[carmine kestrel]

XD ok

might make a sword, when I get the materials just so I can slice and run.

[sturdy linden]

For the record I have 2k hours on this game soooo ahah

[carmine kestrel]

I'm almost to 90 hours now. ^.^

[sturdy linden]

Swords or clubs are both great choices because they are definitely relevant up to end game !

Some other weapon types have some holes in certain biomes sadly

[carmine kestrel]

Well two I think I need materials from those guys also for portals so it'll be shooting two fruits with one arrow.

[sturdy linden]

I have about double the hours on that tower alone 🥲

[carmine kestrel]

but aren't you having fun with building it?

[sturdy linden]

Oh I am, it's just a little insane is all ahah

[carmine kestrel]

.> that's mostly what I've been doing is building.

I certainly probably didn't need four huts, a watch tower, a work house, a forge house, a cook house, three faux greenhouses, a dock house, a dock, a mushroom stall, and a faux chicken coop, but I did it anyway.

~.~ don't know whether I should be happy or sad that I'll have to rip it all up and rebuild as I get new materials.

I did take a lot of pictures though. so it's not like I'll forget what I made. ^.^

[sturdy linden]

That chicken coop might be useful later down the line, just sayin' ~~ 😉

[carmine kestrel]

I'm hoping it will be. I fenced it in because I have monsters, boars, and deer that pass through my area... More like run from the torches ^.^; I wanted them out of the coop

[fair cairn]

your body bag would float ontop along with the stuff in the cargo hold but any metal would sink that the boat was made off

[carmine kestrel]

@fair cairn I'm still using a raft so it would just be wood XD

[fair cairn]

oh! lol

why are you sailing so far in a raft

[carmine kestrel]

@fair cairn Because I'm looking for the shop ~.~ and I don't have a bigger boat, yet.

[fair cairn]

oh uh, looking for the shop ina raft is uh... idd have to say pretty terrible idea with how slow the raft is

[sturdy linden]

agreed ahah, just push for the karve, you'll appreciate the improvement 🥲

[carmine kestrel]

@sturdy linden Exactly how long do I have to wait for that >.> ???

Like do I have to take out the Elder before that?

[sturdy linden]

not much, you just need bronze 🙂

[sturdy linden]

Nah, just eikthyr 🙂

[carmine kestrel]

Well I have been lax on Funland ~.~ only because I need 5 more Deer Trophies...

[sturdy linden]

DO IT 😛

[carmine kestrel]

I have two chests full of deerskin and 3 trophies.

I need a total of 7 if I'm going to make him eat my deer hammer.

[nocturne pasture]

I think its better to use a bow

[carmine kestrel]

@nocturne pasture gonna be honest and say I stink with them.

[nocturne pasture]

I think you have to hit the boss like 100 times + with a flint weapon

[humble swallow]

Who's on right now?

[carmine kestrel]

.> but I'm going to be using the Staghammer that only needs you to hit him like 30 times.@nocturne pasture

[nocturne pasture]

ok^^

[gray sand]

Killing Elder with torches is fun though. 😁

[carmine kestrel]

@gray sand I don't even know how to summon Elder yet.

[rain flare]

Campfire supreme 😂

[rain flare]

Find a big cauldron full of fire and burn stuff

[carmine kestrel]

like what though?

[gray sand]

Ancient Seeds

[timid sun]

The souls of your enemies

[carmine kestrel]

@rain flarebecause the clue just says burn their young

[gray sand]

Ancient Seeds

x3

[rain flare]

Greydwarves are little veggie men
You burn seeds

[timid sun]

Reminder, in Valheim we are actually the bad guys

[gray sand]

No.

[rain flare]

Tell that to the winter child 😡

[carmine kestrel]

@timid sun I thought we were just unjustly sent to Valheim XD by the Gods to do their dirty work, because they didn't want to fight their enemies again.

[gray sand]

Also no.

[carmine kestrel]

what axe do I need for Ancient Trees?

@rain flare

[gray sand]

Why are you in the Swamp if you haven't killed Elder??

[timid sun]

Bronze

[carmine kestrel]

@gray sand o.o you said I needed Ancient Seeds

[timid sun]

While you're at it you should take a trip to the Mountains, heard the weather is nice there this time of year 🙂

[rain flare]

Kill enough greydwarves - they drop the seeds

[carmine kestrel]

don't they come from trees or greydwarfs?

[sturdy linden]

They're drops from brutes

and spawners

[carmine kestrel]

ok my bad I was confuzzled

[rain flare]

They’re the big ones ❤️‍🔥

[timid sun]

Ello, my names Brute.

[rain flare]

Nah, we are being a little Vague 😂

[gray sand]

Greydwarf spawning nests or just Greydwarf Brutes drop them.

[carmine kestrel]

@rain flare@gray sand I'm really glad I asked XD about the axe, before I went back to the swamp. My largest discovered swamp is across the ocean.

[timid sun]

Sounds like a good place to drop a portalic device

[carmine kestrel]

@timid sun don't quite have those, yet. At least I'm still working on that issue on my Funland Server.

[gray sand]

So Ulf made it to Ashlands given some of the stone he wrote.
I wonder if we find out how his story ends in Deep North 🤔

[sturdy linden]

I'm looking forward to it too 😛

[gray sand]

I don't remember if any of the current stones say why he was here in the first place.

[vivid tide]

Should I start new game on ptr or live? Heard live is a bit cursed rn

[gray sand]

Cursed how?

[carmine kestrel]

@vivid tide what do you mean?

[vivid tide]

spawnrates in ashlands and stuff

[carmine kestrel]

If it's server lag... then maybe it's not just me???

[gray sand]

If you're starting NEW, how does Ashlands being the best it will ever be affect you?

[carmine kestrel]

o.o; you mean you want to be your own scout?

[gray sand]

Yes.

#dedicated-server <- for help

[carmine kestrel]

wait can you have multiple characters on the same map >.>??? in different locations?

:x if you can... I wanna pair Una with Rena XD, even if I can't log into them at the same time.

[opal prairie]

Morgen Gjall.

[strange cradle]

Hey, and good morning, folks.

If any of the devs are available, I'd like to ask them a question, if possible.

I made a big booboo. I can run a dedicated server on my machine, whose game file directories are linked to my Valheim game files.

So I made the mistake of having the server running, going into Valheim, and loading the LOCAL map, which was already active at the time, because the server was using it.

I realized it, and closed Valheim. Unfortunately, that must've messed up things, because both Valheim and the server were hooked up to that map.

Now my Hildir progress is completely reset (I was done collecting all three chests for her), and maybe other stuff as well, I don't know about yet.

Is there any way to list my complete progress (besides listkeys) and maybe set it back to what it should be?

Thanks a lot for your help! It is greatly appreciated!

@carmine kestrel You can have as many characters on the same map as you like.

[carmine kestrel]

@strange cradle >.> you just have to log in and out of them right?

[strange cradle]

Exactly.

They can even be at the exact same spot.

[carmine kestrel]

@strange cradle Just wondered because Rena from my main game is better equipped than Una

[strange cradle]

Yes, that is absolutely possible. I've done that as well.

I've been with all of my characters in multiple worlds.

[carmine kestrel]

@strange cradle ty and I hope you get your problem sorted out, btw you might mention Smiffe they are online atm.

[strange cradle]

Ok, I'll message him. Thanks! 🙂

@near furnace If you have a minute, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!

[near furnace]

?

[strange cradle]

I have a dedicated server running on my Mac, where the game files are linked (by soft links) to the game files of my Valheim installation.

The problem I have is that I had the server running, went into my game and loaded the map LOCALLY, instead connecting to the server.

So, when I closed Valheim, things broke.

[near furnace]

yeah. I see the text you wrote up there a few minutes ago

[strange cradle]

Yes, I really appreciate your help.

[near furnace]

you have backup file

but.. might just be broken because you loaded in twice

[strange cradle]

Exactly. I would lose quite some progress, if I had to go back to a file two days earlier.

Right now, everything looks fine, but that I lost Hildirs progress.

And I also got the dream that Eikthyr was on my heels. Not sure if that is significant.

Because the global key for Yagluth IS set.

GP_Yagluth.

[near furnace]

easiest way to solve your booboo is either:

1. cheat and just spawn the chests
2. just re-do them since it's fun to play

[strange cradle]

😄

[near furnace]

your character progress is separated from your worlds progress btw

[strange cradle]

I know, that's why I'm confused.

Because my character shouldn't have been affected by this.

Only the world.

[sturdy linden]

Tbh if you're starting a new game, by the time you get to Ashlands the update will have probably been out for live version ^^

[strange cradle]

@near furnace I also don't know what other stuff is broken. Is there any way to show ALL my progress in the console? Just for checking? I don't want to cheat, trust me.

[near furnace]

yeah. there kinda is

but

you need to enable cheats to do so 😄

[strange cradle]

Of course "devcommands". 😉

[near furnace]

mhm

but if you used the same character

🤔

[strange cradle]

I know the Listkeys command, but that doesn't seem to be all encompassing. Not sure, though.

[near furnace]

try stats command

[strange cradle]

Oh, btw, just wanted to let you know that the Mac version of the Valheim dedicated server is very inefficient and introduces a lot of lag and rubberbanding on my Mac. The sleep periods might last a minute or so. If I run the Windows version through CrossOver, I don't have these problems.

And I will try the stats command, thanks a lot!

[near furnace]

we are working on alot of mac optimizations

(and PC/xbox ofc)

[strange cradle]

That is good to hear! 👍

After 1400 hours plus, I still love your game. 🙂

And I'm really happy that it is finally on the Mac.

The stats command looks promising, but is there a way, like on Unix to "more" the output so it doesn't role past one screenheight?

Doh! I can just page-up... 😛

My character died a 199 times. 😄

I'm pretty sure it was more than that. 😛

So, there is a key for Hildir's request, it says (2023-06-16). Weird.

Weird, it says Bosskills: 1?

[molten wraith]

does anyone have any good seeds they like to use

[strange cradle]

I like mine: Pct2NspXkR

[carmine kestrel]

.> isn't it messed up atm though?

[strange cradle]

Well, it's still a nice seed, though. 😉

Yeah, I will have to go back two days and see what the stats say there. Some of them look very fishy to me.

Ok, cya later and thanks for the help, @near furnace!

[near furnace]

[feral venture]

damn the queen is sooo tanky

[versed parcel]

yeah no on my first playthrough me and my friend had to like

[regal jacinth]

Any clue what the next additions will be? The north biom?

[versed parcel]

gradually hack away at that health bar
it took forever
and the minion summoning phases made that even more annoying

honestly I'd say the queen and moder are probably my least favorite bosses due to how tanky and annoying they are
that same playthrough moder kinda just got stuck on the ground in the arena too so we kinda just shot at her for 10 minutes (probably hyperbole)

[versed parcel]

yeah deep north

[opal prairie]

Probably.

[gray sand]

If you're using only arrows... that would be why they seem tanky.

[vocal rivet]

I would expect some kind of intermediary update, but no idea what would be in it.

[gray sand]

Moder melts if you just melee her when she lands.

[versed parcel]

I guess that's a fair point
but that did seem like the best least risky option at the time

[opal prairie]

I don't like yagluth, it is quite a hectic fight, queen was fun with magic.

[versed parcel]

cuz she kinda was just stuck on land
not moving at all

[versed parcel]

I actually loved yagluth
only boss I ended up dying to but I still found the fight fun honestly
if anything the chaos kinda added to it

[gray sand]

Pretty much all bosses take longer if you're using your bow.

[versed parcel]

fair, the buggyess thing still stands though

[feral venture]

moder was aight since the silver sword and parry was pretty efficient

[gray sand]

Silver Sword?
Why would you want to do less damage to her?

[feral venture]

what else?

[versed parcel]

yeah when we get to her on our current bigger playthrough I'm gonna try going mostly melee

[gray sand]

Anything not silver? Given she is immune to spirit.

Also parrying bosses is a literal waste of stamina.

[versed parcel]

putting more focus on dodging and parrying this playthrough (more dodging though)

still need the trophy for that fenris hood

I WILL HAVE MY DRIP (with a slight speed bonus)

[gray sand]

Dodge bosses.
No damage and costs less stamina.

Parrying is for non-bosses as they can actually be staggered.

Parrying a boss does nothing other than cost you more stamina for no reason.

[versed parcel]

yeye that's fair

[nocturne wolf]

If you dont have a buckler you could also block a boss to consume even less stamina while taking a very small amount of damage

[frigid flare]

hi guys, we have problem with starting the dedicated server we played in 4 months ago , idk if its something with the new updates like ashlands

[grand ravine]

what kind of problem?

[frigid flare]

its just loading

[fair cairn]

give it time

[grand ravine]

just wait

[frigid flare]

like we are waiting for 10 minutes

[void abyss]

totally normal it might take a little bit longer than usual, but will be a one time thing. Just gotta wait it out.

[frigid flare]

eghh i hope so :')

[feral parrot]

Are greydwarf farms still applicable in the current game?

[merry pebble]

yep

[feral parrot]

To farm wood..? Do you have to be near it, or can I be off doing other stuff and have it work?

[merry pebble]

you have to be in general area, yes

[gray sand]

Can also just... chop down a tree,

[feral parrot]

Yeah, I was hoping an automatic farm would be more beneficial for my time

But seems chopping trees might be better anyhow

[gray sand]

Ah yes... Valheim.
The game known for its automation and factories...

[opal prairie]

You can make that and if you have access to a dead raiser you can also train your blood magic in one go.
Afk nearby and let the farm do its work.

[feral parrot]

Not sure why you’ve got a stick up your butt this morning. Was a simple question, brought up by the multiple videos I’ve seen about the topic.

[gray sand]

Not sure why you're incorrectly assuming the occupancy of my butt 🤷‍♂️

[feral parrot]

Anyhow. Got my answer. Have a good one yall.

[opal prairie]

Doesn't everyone have a stick in their butt?

[grand ravine]

i sure do

imean. wait...

[keen cliff]

sssh some secrets should remain secrets

[grand ravine]

... o.o

[sturdy linden]

Little late to your question but we will probably have a small update before next biome.

Most likely some small addition like a little ocean rework and some optimization ! 🙂

Next biome should be in a little over a year away sadly :/

[sturdy linden]

By far the fastest way to farm wood is to plant a shit ton of trees around an eikthyr boss stone, summon him, and kite him around while he uses his lightning skill to erase trees ! 🙂

Works with other bosses too but it's easier with him 🙂

[merry pebble]

i am pretty sure Eikthyr is he 😄

[sturdy linden]

You are right indeed, corrected ! 😛

I had actually mixed both pronouns with some him and her 😂

[obtuse remnant]

I am hopeful that in the Jan-Feb timeframe we get another smaller content update like IG did with Hildir between Mistlands and Ashlands

[open scaffold]

Hey I just got valheim on sale a couple days ago because my buddy wanted to try it.

We got a total of 3 people invested and enjoying the game myself included and maybe 1 or 2 more than need convincing

But honestly after a few hours of play I noticed how badly the AI is broken. They don’t chase you well enough because their pathing is terrible

[timid sun]

I am hopeful that they consider going back to flesh out the first 5 zones further to make them feel as complete as Mistlands/Ashlands do. Perhaps even adding rudimentary magic and magic related resources earlier in the game so if you want to choose it as a playstyle you can do so earlier. Additionally more side quests like Hildir would be awesome, perhaps with home decoration rewards which could even be as simple as reskins of current decorative items we have (like a fancier table).

I'd also like to see a rework done on raids as I think the way they are currently implemented is silly. Instead of having spontaneous raids there could be a timer that randomly spawns to tell us that a raid will be happening in x amount of time. If the timer expires and you're not home the raid will begin the next time you travel there. Rather than raids having a time limit they should require you to kill a certain amount of enemies or achieve a specific goal (such as killing a commander) to complete them. This would allow us time to prepare for a raid and also give raids more purpose beyond just running in circles until it ends. Additionally special rewards could be dropped by the raids such as items that allow you to craft cosmetic variants of armors, or even more decorative stuff (like additional colors on torches).

[unique onyx]

the ai gets a little better each biome

[gray sand]

They already feel complete as fuck, so idk what you're wanting "fleshed out."

[open scaffold]

And enemy awareness for the “detected” and “searching” just don’t work. I’ve been standing right in front of them and they can’t see me

[open scaffold]

Fr? I’ve barley just gotten into the swamp

Had to sail to it

[unique onyx]

yeah but check the server settings too cuz it seems odd if you're standing in front of swamp stuff and it's not attacking

[open scaffold]

Died to a poison blob and had to sail back 😭

[timid sun]

In comparison to the depth in Mistlands and Ashlands I feel the others don't really hold up as well, besides probably the swamp. It was fine until I saw the masterpiece that is Mistlands and since that happened I kinda feel like the rest are lacking xD update so good it made the rest of your game look bad

[open scaffold]

We aren’t using a dedicated server. Does that matter?

[stark wigeon]

guys when u download mods like a weapon pack one do u get the weapons???

[drifting moss]

Does the difficulty scale with days survived?

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[timid sun]

Different enemies have different AI and act differently for sure, but I will say that 100% the AI isn't perfect and most of them are pretty simple to cheese

[gray sand]

No.

[vocal rivet]

We've had several reworking s of the original 5 biomes, they're complete now.

[timid sun]

Sounds like an interesting playthrough though 😄

[stark wigeon]

guys when u download mods like a weapon pack one do u get the weapons??? just answer the question

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[plush umbra]

Hello guys, I need help where to setup a base.
Currently i'm in meadows near to a black forest, with a 5 min walk to the coast.
I also have a portal to swamps. I would like to know where it's best to stay, which biome for long term base location.

[timid sun]

Just stating my opinion and thoughts on what I'd like to see. I understand some of you don't like the see evolution and change but, while they have definitely done a great job, I like to look at things and think about how they could be improved and made better. They are not perfect after all

[vocal rivet]

Meadows is fine until you get to Plains honestly.

[stark wigeon]

oh but u answer his question

[thorn wren]

Bro this channel isn't for mod discussion

[vocal rivet]

We've HAD evolution and change.

[stark wigeon]

🤏🏿

[timid sun]

Damn, we had a little now we can't have no more 😦 Derek said no more fun

[vocal rivet]

If you kept reworking things the game would never be released!

[plush umbra]

Alright

[timid sun]

What happens when the game gets released? We just done?

[vocal rivet]

Yes!

[gray sand]

Or like... suggestions on how to "improve" go in #suggestions 🤷‍♂️

[timid sun]

Valheim 2 perhaps?

[vocal rivet]

Unlikely.

[timid sun]

We here chatting

[unique onyx]

same fate as spaceballs 😦

[timid sun]

I don't make official suggestions, that's for smart people who put more thought into things. But I saw a related comment and responded with related material. Just chatting, in the Valheim chat. Tossing thoughts and ideas out there 🙂

[plush umbra]

Hey guys, what should I do after getting iron armor and weapons?
Visit the mountains perhaps? Or should I try to discover more biomes?

[timid sun]

Explore and conquer! Also depends what armor you've got and where you've already explored

[plush umbra]

I've explored swamps, meadows, black forest.

Iron armor

[vocal rivet]

Mountains is definitely best if you're ready.

[timid sun]

Yeah, sounds like mountains would be your next stop if you've completed the swamps. If you haven't fought the boss though I'd recommend doing that first

[thorn wren]

Mountains is up next in progression

[plush umbra]

How can I know if i am?

[thorn wren]

If you have iron and have farmed the swamp a good bit you should be

[timid sun]

Mental preparedness is more important than equipment. Be prepared to die and learn!

[plush umbra]

Lol i've already died multiple times, especially when i didn't have armor and i kept falling into my trenches and dying repeteadly

[unique onyx]

you sort of not really need the piece from bonemass and frost resist mead to go into the mountains and progress

[plush umbra]

Or when I died in swamp, and my friend had to go back to me twice, with the boat

[timid sun]

In death comes fond memories, good laughs, and things learned. Hopefully... 😄

[plush umbra]

I have the cooking equipment

[plush umbra]

Eh, not sure if i was supposed to rage or laugh. was a long distance to travel

[open scaffold]

2nd boss spawned across an ocean for me

[plush umbra]

Plus we rarely play, and only for limited time so even more annoying, had to waste like 20 mins!

[timid sun]

Being upset is fine, but I've found it's always for the best if I try to find something humorous in my deaths 😄 I think the last time I died was due to lag in the swamps where I got absolutely blasted by a couple draugr. I then decided to dedicate a wall in my house to hanging Draugr trophies with a sign that says, "I'm their dad"

[plush umbra]

LMAO

Any tips on better building?

[gray sand]

Better is subjective.

[plush umbra]

Not really, when you see amazing builds, almost everyone can agree they're beatiful!

[gray sand]

The fact you had to put the word "almost" in there proves my point.

Better is subjective.
As is amazing.
As is beauty.

[plush umbra]

nah

[gray sand]

You're saying "nah" to how life on Earth works, lmao.

[plush umbra]

Your opinion changes on how you percieve your builds

For example if you have bad builds, you might think they're good, but an experienced builder will know it's not great. Taste doesn't play the biggest role in Valheim.

[gray sand]

Bad is subjective.

[plush umbra]

bruh

[gray sand]

Taste plays a massive role in building in Valheim.

[plush umbra]

Depends on the build size and such factors. How you use that space, or how the exterior is.

[gray sand]

How you, personally, choose to do those things doesn't make it bad or good. It just makes it how you, personally, choose to do those things.

[plush umbra]

what?

[gray sand]

This is a general life concept, I'm unsure where your confusion is coming from.

[timid sun]

I typically go for a mixture of visual appeal mixed with efficiency when I build. They might not be the most beautiful houses, or the most efficient, but they hit that sweet spot that I like 😄

[gray sand]

It's like someone saying "blue is better than orange."

No... it's subjective to the individual.

[plush umbra]

But are there blue builds in Valheim?

[gray sand]

You liking what you built is the sole thing that matters 👍

[plush umbra]

Cause that's super specific to the example

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[plush umbra]

I didn't ask for how subjective opinion is, i just asked for building tips

[gray sand]

No, you asked for how to build, and I quote, "better"

[plush umbra]

yup

[gray sand]

And I simply stated the truth of that being subjective.

[plush umbra]

That's not what i asked for tho

[gray sand]

It's literally what you asked...
You asked for "better" that's quotable.

I stated better is subjective.
You didn't accept the truth of that somehow 🤷‍♂️

[plush umbra]

Okay then let me rephrase it: "Any building tips"?

[gray sand]

Now we're learning!

Tips would depend on what biome you're in.
I generally wouldn't care too much until you hit Swamp and can start using Stone and Ironwood.

Personally 🤷‍♂️

[plush umbra]

I was in the swamps, i have a base there with a portal

[gray sand]

Though recently I don't care until Mistlands because Black Marble is amazing.

[plush umbra]

yes

[timid sun]

Typically how I go about a build is by first kind of imagining how I want the space to look. Do I want a big rectangle/square, an L H or I shape, do I want 2 floors, all over or mixed? Once I've got a general idea I'll work on a layout by placing beams on the ground in the shape I want. Take into consideration build limits so try not to make spaces too large unless you intend to support the roof with central posts/beams. I try to keep the roof and walls at this stage pretty basic to get the overall build done then I'll go back and add decorative bits (like windows that protrude or dormers) later in the build process. Building is definitely a learning process on what you can do with the different tools/pieces available and can be further expanded by how much effort you're willing to put in. I do recommend checking out other people's builds and even using real life buildings as references if you aren't good at coming up with a complete idea on your own.

[plush umbra]

Now that's what i'm looking for!
Thank you very much.

[rugged pulsar]

and then you stirred the cauldron

[timid sun]

RIP chicken friends. I knew I should have made you a proper enclosure 🫡

[fallen zephyr]

The simplest solution is to just keep X number of eggs in reserve to replace the X number of hens you maintain. Protecting them from bats is hardly worth the effort.

[misty sun]

Troll Cave is best coop.

[open scaffold]

Orange is better than blue tho fr

What is the purpose of taming boars

[fallen zephyr]

This might be the one case (relating to colours) in which you're objectively incorrect.

[warm sandal]

keeping yourself busy? I never bother 😄

[gray sand]

Farmer life RP.

[timid sun]

Yeah I usually stock up on the eggs anyway as it's more efficient than feeding, waiting for them to grow/hatch, cull, repeat. So I feed and pick eggs, get a ton, throw them all down then turn the heat on. I know the most efficient way (outside of auto farms) would be to have two separate areas one for breeding and another for hatching/culling but I don't typically want to set aside space for all that. I'm lazy ;P

My current playthrough the chickens are actually in a section of my house that is closed in so they are safe :3

[pliant hatch]

To get such a great number of certain items, you wonder the rest of the game why you didn't stop breeding and butchering boars a lot earlier........

[fallen zephyr]

You keep your chickens in your house?! That's disgusting.

[open scaffold]

Leather scraps mostly?

[open scaffold]

I literally had pet chickens in the house as a kid

[timid sun]

It's like a multi-section house and the area they are in is loosely connected to the main house by a second floor bridge. So they aren't like near my kitchen or my bedroom ;P it's fine

[open scaffold]

Concrete floor so easy to clean

[pliant hatch]

Meat more, leather scraps can be found in large numbers in the swamp too.
Meat, however isn't. But another item you need to combine with the meat is found there as well.
Still, both are only useful in the first three biomes.

[open scaffold]

I think had a couple Chinese bantom chickens

[open scaffold]

Cool

[fallen zephyr]

Combine them with flour, honey, and dandelions - sweet and sour chicken

(read: the recipes in Valheim need more thought and variety)

[timid sun]

Now you're speaking my language! Can I get some teriyaki as well?

[fallen zephyr]

I'm afraid not. At least not until we're able to farm garlic and ginger.

[timid sun]

I'll allow tar, honey, and turnips as a placeholder ;P

[fallen zephyr]

I will not! Benoît Violier is rolling in his grave! 😛

[fleet valve]

If I’ve raided all the fortresses in my world, do I have to go to another world to get more gemstones

[timid sun]

Curious, do you need more? If so, how many players on your server? Should only need to clear a few to have all the gems you need

[sturdy linden]

Sadly yes 😦

[fleet valve]

Just me and one other person

[sturdy linden]

At the moment gems can only be dropped from fortresses :/

[fleet valve]

Is there a mod that allows custom crafting recipes

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[fleet valve]

Got it, ty

[timid sun]

I imagine there is probably close to 20 of those fortresses on each world... Probably +/- a few depending on your seed. I'm just a little surprised you were unable to get all the gems you need o: unless you're each trying to make and max every different variant of every weapon

[vocal rivet]

RNG can be brutal especially in this case.

[sturdy linden]

Actually I think it's always precisely 20 😛

And as a solo I wanted to do exactly what you said for a nice museum of every weapon, and sadly I'll have to world hop 😂

[timid sun]

Ah that is rough 😦 I was worried about it when I did a server with like 6 of us going into the Ashlands but fortunately we were all frugal with our usage so we didn't have any issues

[foggy glacier]

so I just started looking at ballistae for my base cuz they look cool (no other reason) I notice that the ammo has the same damage numbers like my weapons. Is the damage for the ballista impacted by one of my weapon skills?

[sturdy linden]

Ideally you would have turned drop rate 3x before looting, but afaik it's a little too late ahah

[foggy glacier]

Does drop rate multiplier affect gems as well?

[timid sun]

I go through servers quite frequently, some faster than others depending on how the other server goers want to play it. That said I'm not too interested in making everything every single time so I often pick a playstyle and aim for that for each playthrough.

[sturdy linden]

I honestly haven't tried it, but I'd expect it does (probably only when loading the chest the first time or something tho)

[obtuse remnant]

I imagine this would require a pretty significant change to how worlds are generated, but I would love if Ashlands land mass was increased by ~25%

[sturdy linden]

out of curiosity, why ?

[vocal rivet]

It's the size it is intentionally. It used to be bigger.

[timid sun]

I was actually fully prepared for the Ashlands to maintain the old placeholder land mass xD wasn't ready for it to consist of multiple islands. I do prefer it this way though

[vocal rivet]

We were given plenty of advance notice.

[obtuse remnant]

The available landmass for Ashlands is quite small compared to everything else. Making it larger would have negligible impacts to the world writ large, but aid in progression (available gems/ore) for group play

[timid sun]

Not implying that it was any sort of issue, but I also don't typically keep up with information because I like to dive into major updates blind. More fun for me to experience it fully without any spoilers 🙂

[vocal rivet]

The game is scaled for solo play and we have World modifiers to apply when that doesn't work.

[sturdy linden]

Fair enough !
On servers I would definitely use 3x ressource just for the gems tho !

[timid sun]

I actually enjoy increased resources for wood gathering. Wish I had some sort of statistics but it'd probably blow some minds if people saw how many trees I've chopped down in my time playing Valheim. While I don't fully mind the activity I also appreciate maybe not having to deforest as much now that I've already done it a ton.

[bold forum]

am i missing something? read on reddit that some ppl prefer 2 eitr 1 stam food so they can summon 3 skellies at once?! i only have 185 eitr with 2 eitr 1 stam food and summoning a skeleton costs 100 eitr.... right..?

[sturdy linden]

Using the Eikthyr trick, plant looooots of trees, spawn him, and let him cook 😛

[keen cliff]

you could also kite a troll through the black forest, and let him do the work

[sturdy linden]

Works too, but the pro with eikthyr is the cool trophy at the end 😛

[foggy glacier]

Wait for your eitr bar to regen, then summon again. when you get your skill high enough, the eitr cost for dead raiser is lower than you get from even a stuffed mushroom.

[timid sun]

I have a system that I've developed over time. Usually I'll find a nice spot in either the black forest or meadows that has a decently forested hill. I'll start from the top and work my way down, letting the trees fall/roll into each other dealing that little bit of extra damage that saves a few swings of the axe here and there. When done correctly I usually fill up a reinforced chest with wood in about 15 minutes

[bold forum]

yes but ppl wrote that they could summon 3 skeletons without waiting

[foggy glacier]

yeah you could, when your skill is high enough.

[bold forum]

aaaah thats why, ty

[timid sun]

I found that the best way to summon skeletons is just to not do it 😉

[foggy glacier]

only costs me 66 eitr now for dead raiser.

[sturdy linden]

Actually I remember seeing a vid with this trick but made industrial, the idea was to dig a trench going downhill and plant trees, break the top one and voila ! they almost all self destruct ahah

[bold forum]

i thought skeletons was meta as a mage

[ornate sigil]

Skeles are a good distraction but some people just run bubble and the fire/ice staves.

[foggy glacier]

skellies are useful to level blood magic so your bubble is stronger.

I built an afk farm, maxed out my blood magic.

[timid sun]

Bubble is grade A. I'll even use it when running melee 😄

[open scaffold]

they got eaten by the neighbors dog and raccoons lmao

[plush umbra]

That's wild 💀

[open scaffold]

When do you unlock magic?

[plush umbra]

I'm acually curious as well, i always see my friends using it.

It's probably end game stuff

[open scaffold]

Seems like it

[sturdy linden]

Mistlands 🙂

[open scaffold]

I can tell Valheim is a pretty long game too. Doesn’t seem unreasonable to expect 200+ hours of gameplay

[grand ravine]

mistlands

[sturdy linden]

So yeah, biome 6 😛

[proper prism]

Can you still run around smashing with stagbreaker to find ore-veins?

[open scaffold]

Biome 6 out of how many biomes?

[grand ravine]

you can, yeah

[sturdy linden]

That heavily depends on your playstyle tbh !

The game can be relatively short if you rush it, but if you spend a little time wandering around and building it tends to skyrocket 😛

[proper prism]

Nice... missed the raid with my buddies to get the wishbone so ill have to do it hardmode 😄

[sturdy linden]

7 for the moment and 8 when everything is done 🙂

[open scaffold]

The building is very cool. One of my favorite aspects so far

[open scaffold]

Cool Ty

[grand ravine]

why not get your own?

stagbreaker is a lot more hardmode

[sturdy linden]

I'm a Valheim builder so I won't disagree 😛

[open scaffold]

Though I wanna get stone before setting up a more permanent base I’ve practiced building a bit

[obtuse remnant]

When you're exploring Mistlands and find some friendly Dvergr, only to accidentally lure the bugs/Gjall and they all die. feelsbadman

[sturdy linden]

Good idea 😉

The next big load of block unlocks will be at biome 5 so you'll be good for a while 🙂

[grand ravine]

that's when you take their stuff

[proper prism]

Because Im not at a point where I can solo bonemass atm (or more specific... i cba)

[obtuse remnant]

yes, but it is such an oppressing place that finding a friendly is such a relief

[sturdy linden]

For the record, Bonemass is much much easier solo than multi ^^

[proper prism]

I tried him solo like 3 years ago and it was alot of prep.. maybe he's been nerfed since then?

[hidden gorge]

I used to feel this way, until I apparently mined a bit of rock outside their tower, or bumped into them during a fight trying to protect them. They refuse to trade for their exclusive items and now they're nothing more than cannon fodder to me.

[sturdy linden]

I'm honestly unsure, but as long as you have poison resistance meads and good food it's not that bad

Might just be that I'm used to him now too

[grand ravine]

more players makes him a fair bit stronger. if you have upgraded swamp gear (mace recommended) and poison meads, i bet you can do it. just watch attack patterns and dodge

[hidden gorge]

bonemass' area around his skull has a big impact on the difficulty of the fight

[proper prism]

Ive killed him solo once, duo twice... then ive played on the same character since

[sturdy linden]

Hoe is your best friend for preparing the fight, that is very true !

[hidden gorge]

if you're constantly getting stuck on roots, swimming through puddles, etc. it's time to clear the area and grab a hoe

[proper prism]

but yeah.. 3 years since solo kill

for sure something has been tuned 😛

[grand ravine]

that too. if you level the area with a hoe beforehand its much easier

[sturdy linden]

Might be ! I can recall my first encounter with him and a group of like 5/6 players ... it was chaos ahahah
(was at release too, so we came in blind like everyone else ahah)

[proper prism]

dont leave home without your hoe...

[timid sun]

Both long and short, depending on you. First playthroughs are much more likely to be long because you don't know much in the way of fighting, building, progression, and speedy tips. Additionally, if you're someone who likes to explore a lot, there is plenty to explore and it'll take quite some time. If you're someone who likes to build a lot, whether large or multiple bases, that is also a big time sink for gathering resources and putting them together. If you like to try out many weapons there's more time in gathering all the resources to make them then also time in practicing with them.

All that said, I can rush the progression and complete the game in probably 25-30 hours. So there is quite a big gap of playability and the main factor is you ;P

[sturdy linden]

And then there's speedrunners running around naked 😂

[hidden gorge]

don't need armor if you don't get hit

[timid sun]

These days I haven't been doing any solo playthroughs and I just pick the pace of the other people on whatever random server I join. For example my last server, before my current one I'm on, I joined on the second day of the server being active and they were already in the mountains. So I solo rushed myself to the mountains in about 7 hours.

[sturdy linden]

Holy that's quick ahah

Well it's true that the start can be quick once you're used to it but damn x)

[reef walrus]

Anyone on xbox that wants to make a world? I mostly play on hard but idc

[sturdy linden]

Go look in #1024264966712340510, you'll probably find what you're looking for 😄

[timid sun]

Never has what I'm looking for 😦 I always just settle... The life of a nomad Valheim player who refuses to make his own server

Also it's always impressive how many people advertise servers as NA but then more than half of the people on the server end up being EU xD

[reef walrus]

Graci

[sturdy linden]

Are you going to give that 100+ server with lots of mods a try when it is available ? 🙂

[timid sun]

I've never played modded Valheim and I don't really intend to

I don't even use quality of life mods o: I'm 2,000 hours deep in that raw Valheim experience

[sturdy linden]

I only recently started using QoL mods purely oriented on the building aspect (craft from containers ... <3)

But I must admit that server looks interesting !
It'll be anything but valheim tho, so many mods ahah

[proper prism]

Ill never use any mods whatsoever

[fair cairn]

as long as you dont start demanding more content for early game cause youve gotten bored of it after 2000 hours like a certain entitled manchild

[timid sun]

Demanding? I've certainly suggested the idea of it but I'd never demand anything

[fair cairn]

i mean more along the lines of Fowst or what ever his name is

[timid sun]

Ah, we had an issue in here earlier where Derek and the other one took offense to my suggestion of adding more content to earlier biomes so I wasn't sure if you were referencing that. I like the idea of it but I'd certainly never make any demands, I'm not pushy like that ;P

[sturdy linden]

I would love more variety of structures in all the first biomes, would make the game feel more lived in 😄

Yeaaaah it got a little heated earlier

But yeah black forest and swamps are especially poor with ruins right now, sadly !

[timid sun]

I'm just trying to be 2 men fighting against a gang with a spaceship

[distant salmon]

solo moder was such fun 🎉

[quick cradle]

guys if rain hit the wood will it completly break it or just change the texture and reduce it damage?

[vocal rivet]

Rain damage only goes down to 50%.

[quick cradle]

Fr?

[onyx skiff]

what things i should have against yagluth

[nocturne wolf]

A frostner or silver sword, level 3+ padded armor and fire resistance barley wine, and 3 foods that are either from plains ingredients or serpents
Never use 3 health or 3 stamina foods

[onyx skiff]

aw man why the silver stuff😞

[nocturne wolf]

The spirit damage makes them stronger than black metal against undead enemies

[onyx skiff]

hmm well we have 3 people so how many of us would get the sword and who would get the frostner

[nocturne wolf]

Get what you want. The silver sword costs more silver but you need to buy Ymir flesh for the frostner. The frostner is stronger than black metal in mistlands.

[quick cradle]

how ti find swamp ?

[ember kraken]

I used frostner well into ashlands -_-'

[onyx skiff]

so is like lvl 3 porcupine worse than lvl 1 frostner?

[nocturne wolf]

Against yagluth and mistlands enemies, yes
Porcupine doesn’t slow enemies, but it does have higher stagger

[ember kraken]

It's randomly generated, so just make a karve ship and sail around. Swamp will always be near the ocean.

[frosty timber]

Should i make thundering mace or the axes in ashlands anyone deep into and tried both?

[nocturne wolf]

The mace is very strong, I don’t know about the axes

[ember kraken]

Honestly I didn't bother making any of the weapon in Ashlands, because of damage types, frostner honestly worked better against almost everything.

[frosty timber]

that chain lightning has me intrigued lol

[orchid grail]

the proc is op I'm not gonna lie, the mace prob works better against all the skeletons but the axes looks more fun

idk I just go pew pewing around with the bow

[ember kraken]

I ended up playing mostly magic (was playing with a friend) so I didn't get to try much of the weapon enchants (Siege Troll on the other hand...).

But from what buddy said, the lightning thing seemed to trigger very seldom, and we had some success with the jade one since it can actually immobolize even bosses.

The charred is neutral to blunt and slashing btw.

[tepid prawn]

Thundering Berserkir Axes are way ahead of the frostner, and for higher than normal difficulty the Klausen (jade mace) is amazing, Nidhogg the Thundering is also really good, AshFang works with any gem depending on what you want to achieve but spinesnap at level 4 is still probably better for things that are weak to spirit like Valkyrie

[orchid grail]

oh I figured they would be weak to blunt like any other skelly, mb

the good thing about the lightning proc is that, at least with the bow, even if you miss the arrow it can proc from the ground and still hit the mob

[onyx skiff]

should i craft the two handed big sword i unlocked from the black forge?

[sturdy linden]

Works with every weapon too 😄

You can literally spam a wall to try and get the lightning proc to damage mobs in a sealed room or such ahah

[orchid grail]

Krom?

[onyx skiff]

yes

[orchid grail]

that's op

[orchid grail]

I did, it's fun to run around with it once you get used to the swings

[onyx skiff]

alr

[sturdy linden]

It's also really good for warriors with secondary attack 🙂
So I would say yes too ! 😄

[onyx skiff]

can i download a mod into my current game?

or do i need to start a new one?

[sturdy linden]

You can yes 🙂

The only problem is the other way if you add a mod that adds new assets, I wouldn't trust loading that map without the mod(s)

In any case, always make more backups 😛

[onyx skiff]

will dual wield be too game breaking? idrc about the stats but i just want to dual wield swords

[sturdy linden]

Can't answer that one (op-ness)!

But I can say that the new double axes from ashlands is pretty fun 😛

[onyx skiff]

yeah well we havent even beaten yagluth so uhh yeah😞 i want the axes so bad

[sturdy linden]

I understand, play the way you want that gives you the most fun my dude 😄

[onyx skiff]

yeah but i feel like the dual wield would be so op😭🙏

i lowkey like dying to the goblins everytime i see one

[nocturne wolf]

You like getting killed?

[onyx skiff]

no but i just like the game being so difficult for me and my friends🙏🙏

even tho it hurts my ears when they start screaming

[quick cradle]

how to kill abomination

[nocturne wolf]

Hit it with a slash weapon until it can’t hit you anymore.
It turns and attacks very slowly so the attacks can be blocked, parried and rolled through easily. If you find a surtling spawner you can keep the abomination over it to burn it

[ember kraken]

Most fun is luring it over a fire geyser, and not attack only parry it every time it attacks, so it takes higher damage from the burning :p

[quick cradle]

like bronze sword ? cuse i just got there

[nocturne wolf]

Bronze sword and axe both deal slash damage

[timid sun]

Plz don't kill me

[sturdy linden]

Lead it to one of those fire geyser 😛

[jagged wind]

fire

[timid sun]

Shoot laser beams at it!

[quick cradle]

which ones ? we are getting banged over there

[quick cradle]

i shoted arrow fire no effect

[jagged wind]

shot*

[sturdy linden]

You really can't miss 'em if you have a fire geyser in your swamp ahah
it's a big ... fire torch

[jagged wind]

fire arrows always lit abomination on fire

[quick cradle]

they tokk fire out so fast idk why

[jagged wind]

but best thing is to use bonfire or campfires outside of swamp, but close to it where u will lure it

and just spam repair on the fire... or just find the fire spawner

and kite him around

[quick cradle]

its raining ther

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need to use fire, just use your axe or a sword if you have one

[jagged wind]

abomination gonna massacre him.. dont think he can dodge/parry

[nocturne wolf]

If you have black forest equipment and food you’re strong enough to fight abominations.

It’s definitely easier than fighting a troll with meadows equipment and food

[jagged wind]

dont agree, kiting troll with bow is much easier than killing abomination in troll armor with melee

[sturdy linden]

That's ... not what he said ? 😂

[nocturne wolf]

I was comparing fighting them with melee because I don’t use bows unless I need to

[sturdy linden]

And going melee with troll armor is an all around bad idea ahah
It's basically the valheim stealth archer build ! 😄

[quick cradle]

why this ship not moving bruh

[nocturne wolf]

I use troll armor for melee, the defence difference to bronze is much smaller then other light-heavy armor differences and is worth it for the movespeed and cost

[sturdy linden]

I guess you're right 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

You can send a screenshot in #valheim-help

[jagged wind]

yea troll armour is better.. u r losing only 2 armor per piece i believe

but idk, i always struggled killing Abomination with melee

until i got bonemass and just rolled over him

[nocturne wolf]

Bronze armor is only 6 defence higher but has -10% movespeed and costs bronze, it only seems worth it in a big multiplayer group so you don’t need to kill too many trolls to get armor for everyone

[jagged wind]

only 4 armor, if u r using the helmet

but then u lose also the sneaking bonus.. but i hardly found it worth it.. maybe if u rly need that backstab dmg when using daggers

[quick cradle]

BRO WTF IS FULLING

ARE THEY SOME BOSS ?

[nocturne wolf]

A fuling? They’re common enemies of the plains.

[quick cradle]

BRO THIS DUDE 1 TAPPED ME

[nocturne wolf]

Plains is the 5th biome. Try to avoid them for now

[quick cradle]

I JUST GOT THERE TO PUT SPAWN POINT AND PORTAL

this dude is like so small and he just tapped me once

[nocturne wolf]

Where are you in progression?

[sturdy linden]

Wait till you see the local bug 😏

[quick cradle]

bro there is a red bee bigger than me

i havent kill the sec both

boss

i mean 3rd boss i havent got him i just found him and in way i found plain i stopped near a ruin house i got bodied by some little goblin gang

i did kill elder i got irons now and tbh swamp is hard hard and i got new outift recepie

[ornate sigil]

after swamp is the mountains then the plains...you are jumping ahead in progression, which is doable but difficult.

[quick cradle]

what is black metal i found in stone outpost

[quick cradle]

i have no clue where is map im just sailing the seas

[nocturne wolf]

You can use it to make better equipment later in the game. It’s useless until you defeat the 4th boss.

[quick cradle]

ow

i finally killed a goblin

i laughed so hard cuse me and my friend we were suprised and i used that big hameer the goblin kinda scared and ranaway

[hidden gorge]

Lol, that's a generous depiction of the ai

[sage cosmos]

Any role players on Valheim

[vocal rivet]

It's not really something Valheim is geared up for, but you might find some people to do that with in #1024264966712340510

[sage cosmos]

I think a lot of games have the potential, especially Valheim tbh.

[hidden gorge]

considering you can role play with a pen and scrap of paper, the bar is exceptionally low

[vocal rivet]

I've comtemplated doing stat blocks for all of the Valheim creatures. But given the lore, actually setting a campaign in the universe would be problematic.

[hidden gorge]

why is that?

[vocal rivet]

There are literally two NPCs and every biome is just collecting resources, crafting items and then killing the boss. It doesn't make for a decent story. And by the time you've added enough new material for it to work it's stopped being Valheim.

[hidden gorge]

ahh, I'm used to heavily home brewing and improvising -- I don't really see it that way. You have more than the NPCs though -- the named adventurers on the stones make perfect people to interact with, not to mention dwarves

[vocal rivet]

Whereas you could have a campaign set on the Sword Coast where an evil wizard has created a portal to Valheim and has brought new monstrous creatures into the world.

[hidden gorge]

and DND over time turned orcs and goblins from mindless slaughter bait to playable characters -- you could make characters of the draugr and fulings, etc. as well

[vocal rivet]

I guess, but then to me, it's not Valheim. YMMV.

[distant field]

Literally my first thought when seeing a Fuling camp and Fulings for the first time (granted, we were sailing, some way off coast) was “ooh, are there NPCs we can maybe interact with, that aren’t just out to kill you?” Because they looked kinda civilised, with their tents, and camp fires.

[ornate sigil]

It went from "yay, civilization " to "oh crap enemies with weapons" real quick.

[grand ravine]

should totally be a quirky "rebel" fuling somewhere that's secretly allied with the dvergr and does some funny thing like trade trophies for gold and gold for ...idk, something

welp. i kinda screwed up my roof, it connects at a different point on 3 walls. but i don't wanna go back and move those walls, would have to tear them all the way down and raise ground out further. mehhh? it's fine, right? it's fiinnnee...
and idt I'm going to end up with structural integrity to enclose the arboretum. ah well. overall it works, should be good enough to use as main base into ashlands.

already spent too much time on it. that'll teach me to build on a hill

just gotta run outer wall on one side and punch a couple door-holes. then it's off to the races!

imean mountains!

[proper edge]

is it worth replacing my frost net with porcupine?

[grand ravine]

i ended up using frostner more than porcupine, into ashlands a little bit even (though i ended up shifting to swords and should have done that by plains/mistland ithink). it could be better for certain enemies? but at plains tier imo the sword and atgeir are more worthwhile

also there are some people that really don't like frostner's knockback, and might be worth shifting to swords at this stage. i would finish upgrading it and use it where appropriate, but, silver/bm swords are also handy. more than previous swords imho

[proper edge]

ok sweet, thanks so much i just got blackmetal and made the sword n shield

and ill have frostner as like a backup

[austere belfry]

course i find the yag vegivisir after killing him

[proper edge]

also will my windmill be slower if i use it in b lack forest?

[grand ravine]

nope

[keen cliff]

welp, Bonemass down, and done with the swamps for a long while. Now to be annoyed by flying raids

[proper edge]

easy thanks

[grand ravine]

they're not thattt bad. the hunt is worse

[vocal rivet]

The hunt is just free food.

[keen cliff]

i just like doing things without worry in my base. 🙂

but yeah, getting hunted in the middle of doing stuff is worse

can you get hunted in the middle of a boss fight?

[grand ravine]

🤔 idk, good question. but i always seem to get it when I'm already dealing with other things, that's for sure.

[keen cliff]

i'm thinking i'll take a break tonight, and start the search for silver and more frost caves tomorrow. @grand ravine did you tame some 2star wolves yet?

[grand ravine]

nope. i had one halfway to the trap 😬 ...

decided to focus more on finishing the base first. once i get a little more settled I'll go at it again. but also i still need to kill bonemass XD ...i have 1stars and they'll do fine for now so there's no real reason to rush iguesssss

[keen cliff]

you're braver than me, going for a 2star wolf. what gear were you wearing?

[grand ravine]

iron helm, root chest, iron legs. the 2 star wasn't even the problem lollll.... it got distracted by a wandering greydwarf at the same time i ran into a fenring and 1star. died, by the time i got back 2star had gone back to the other side of the mointain. lol ran outta nighttime

might be worth putting up another trap over there. donno since there's no rush? but if i had then i woulda got it

[burnt glen]

They always seem to spawn when fighting Moder for me lol

[grand ravine]

that was I think night 3 or 4 that i went looking, and have looked maybe 4-5 more nights since with no luck

[grand ravine]

🤣 that's rough

[austere belfry]

met my first gjall, emerging from the mist like a xenomorph. There was horror

[grand ravine]

they kinda remind me of overlords from starcraft. but with fire. and bloodsuckers. and sound freaky

[strong fjord]

i just did a crypt that had nothing in it

i walked into it and all entrances were blocked

i got 5 yellow shrooms thats all wth

[grand ravine]

yep it happens

[strong fjord]

so weird I've never had that happen before

It's alright tho I found a really loaded one a few hours ago

[grand ravine]

yeah it's not common but I've seen it before

[obtuse remnant]

was there a change to the depiction of the mistlands on the map? I swear you used to be able to tell where the clearings of mist was based on what the map is showing you, but now it looks like the mist overlay moves across the entire map instead of being stationary (and moves over areas which as known to be clear of mist)

[dense tide]

Does ward do anything if I play PVE?

[trail lotus]

the only use it have in solo play is acting like an alarme,when the mobs hit part of your base you will hear the ward sound

[carmine kestrel]

@trail lotus That doesn't help, if they are just walking through your area or are tied to the spot does it? I have lizards, boars, and deer that wander through my area... Even a very odd troll that walks from one stretch of black forest to the other... The area between is all Meadow 🤔

[trail lotus]

well it does help if the monster hit your base you will know , its acting like an alarme ...

[carmine kestrel]

@trail lotus I actually put my monsters on passive, after I found out there was a wandering troll ~.~ I think he might be bugged.

I don't think it's normal for a troll to stroll through, when it rains right??

[grand ravine]

it can be handy to let you known when part of your base is being attacked. like if you have a big base you might put a few around the perimeter, to let you know if/where something on the other side is getting hit

@carmine kestrel careful with the wolves, they bite! swamp gear is recommended. and you need frost resistance mead to not freeze in the meantime. you'll also need silver for a wolf cape. it's a lot easier to find after you beat the third boss, because it's below the ground...but if you take stagbreaker into the mountain you can also find it that way, you have to hit the ground and watch for "too hard" to show near where you hit

[carmine kestrel]

@grand ravine o.o ty for the advice. I probably would've just gotten myself eaten. I really haven't seen any wolves, yet though. I have two mountain ranges uncovered so it's a little odd. atm I'm just working on some tidying up. ^.^ @sturdy linden would be proud of me. I figured out how I can use my F Keys, even though one is my sound key too.

I found out that my base has an instance count of 8k. I may have to demo one or more of my huts and combine them into a long house for guests.

[grand ravine]

since you have enemies on passive you can build a small tower (or box, it doesnt have to be very tall) before attacking them to shoot wolves at with your bow, that way you'll be safer when they try to fight back

[lavish oriole]

Silver also spawns higher then 100 or 120 meters up if I recall right, I usually look for the obsidian veins, when they start spawning silver is close or a tiny bit higher then that

[grand ravine]

8k isn't too bad, i wouldn't worry too much about it unless you're getting a lot of lag or stutter 😉

[carmine kestrel]

@grand ravine I figured it was that or get eaten by a troll. Seriously ~.~ don't know why he started wandering through every time it rains. Passive monsters made me feel like my camp would still be there, when I got back.

I am getting a lot of lag, which is why I'm thinking of combining huts

[grand ravine]

ah i see. hopefully that helps.
and yes you want to find obsidian first, then go a little higher up to look for silver. and grab a little obsidian while you're there, there are a couple things to make with that too

[carmine kestrel]

Kind of want to provide about 4 beds, incase someone else joins my server. I don't mind sharing a base ~.~

I was even thinking of given the long house a little storage shed for personal items. What do you think?@grand ravine

[grand ravine]

that sounds good. i keep a couple extra beds for my other characters, and put a few boxes at the head of each one

[carmine kestrel]

@grand ravine might post a screenie of it later. I'm working on something for my workplace atm.

[grand ravine]

👍 sounds good. I'm on my way to bed now, I'll look in the morning 🙂

[carmine kestrel]

@grand ravine Ok Jawbone have a good rest.

[ionic iron]

Wards also prevent spawns within their radius. I use them for spawn prevention

[onyx skiff]

can my other friends get into the server even if they dont have the mods installed?

[ember kraken]

Depends mostly on the mods, but in general it won't be smart. #mods-discussion is best place to ask.

[velvet sleet]

They can if you use only client-side mods, like QoL and mods for HUD

[gray sand]

Imagine if wards worked like LoL and showed enemies on your mini map 😁

[distant field]

Oh the instance count…

[brisk dew]

Are the Iron Atgeir vanilla or modded?

[fair cairn]

im pretty sure the iron atgier is vanilla

[brisk dew]

ohh okay, I just cant seem to upgrade it 😮
Standing at a lvl 6 forge

[fair cairn]

huh

try asking in #mods-discussion if its a mod or not

i wanna say its vanilla but at this point im not 100% sure lol

or well check the wiki

[brisk dew]

Wiki says it's made at the forge

But I dont see an upgrade thingy when at the forge so wasnt sure xD

[merry pebble]

you dont see the upgrade tab?

[brisk dew]

ohh yes yes, but I dont see the Iron atgeir upgrade 🙂

Unless it's a weapon that cant be upgraded ofc

[merry pebble]

if you have it in your inventory you should have it in upgrade tab, and yes it can be upgraded up to lvl4

and you need forge lvl5 for that

[brisk dew]

hmm then something is wrong xD

Mine is lvl 6

[merry pebble]

not sure why, if you have mods try to remove them but thats about what i can think of

[onyx skiff]

arent i close to the mist walker or what? i have the sap extractor part

[fluid hull]

u need to refine the sap you get

[onyx skiff]

yeah but like is it that hard to do

[fluid hull]

nah, but you should have iron

[foggy glacier]

Not hard, just tedious. Have you got a refinery built?

[fluid hull]

which is the most tedious part if you ask me, unless you've been hoarding quite a lot

[onyx skiff]

no

like do i need anything special anymore? i got the extractor now i just need sap and refine it right?

[merry pebble]

yep, put sap and soft tissue in refinery and you should be fine 😄

[onyx skiff]

man i havent even beaten yagluth yet😭🙏

so like what's so difficult making the mist walker

[sly oyster]

Why you gonna walk around in zero visibility for hours to make something the silver sword could have done 😂

[onyx skiff]

why do i gotta spend hours on that and ion have any problems with the mist

[sly oyster]

You said you haven't beaten yag, so you won't have a wisp

[onyx skiff]

yeah but i dont need to see far

i rely on the 100 fall dmg cap

[sly oyster]

You need wisps to make a mist walker, and a fountain requires yags drop

[onyx skiff]

someone could have told me this earlier

[distant field]

Getting soft tissue is the worst part of making refined eitr

[onyx skiff]

uhh we got like 10

[sly oyster]

Just fight yag, seekers are more annoying than yag

[void abyss]

you have enough for 1 bow

[distant field]

yeah, you're gonna need more than that.

[onyx skiff]

we would have to wait for our friend who gets on tomorrow😞

[foggy glacier]

WAAAYY more

[onyx skiff]

ig we'll just mine iron💔

[distant field]

There's that too.

[sly oyster]

Then you got time to go farm three max level silver swords

[hidden gorge]

do you have the atgeir on you when you open the forge?

[brisk dew]

yir :/

[onyx skiff]

what foods should i have for yag? we already got cauldron lvl 5

[sly oyster]

Serpent stew, your next best health item prolly lox pie, and your best energy

[distant field]

What level iron atgier do you have?

[hidden gorge]

oh, if you have mods then it's 100% one of them causing that issue

you'd prolly get better help in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[sly oyster]

I forget what the plains energy is. I think bread. You prolly also have hare

[hidden gorge]

bread isn't the highest, just the most plentiful

[sly oyster]

I love bread

[hidden gorge]

blood pudding might be higher I think?

[sly oyster]

Gives me a reason to make giant ass farms

Barley farms look so good too

[distant field]

Yeah, blood pudding is 75 stam, bread 70

[sly oyster]

Yeah you can do that for a boss. I don't normally take a three ingredient food over a one ingredient for 5 stam

For every day stuff. But three people on bread, you need a biiiig farm lol

[distant field]

if you have access to mistlands food though, you can't go wrong with salad and omelette (80 and 85, respectively)

[sly oyster]

I think you need a yag kill for eggs unless you glitch

They'd have hare just cuz they've been in the mists

[distant field]

You can get eggs earlier than yag

[sly oyster]

Spending more than 30 seconds in the mist without a wisp would drive me nuts

[hidden gorge]

very niche scenario tho -- sealed towers right? I've heard you could get them there but haven't done one yet. prolly should

[distant field]

without glitches/exploits/cheats/debug

[distant field]

yep

[brisk dew]

was lvl 1

[hidden gorge]

not worth the effort tho IMO -- it's a boss fight, just quaff some potions

[brisk dew]

Also how does amour rating work?
if u have 100 armour do you have 100% def?

[distant field]

And you can't upgrade it?

[hidden gorge]

there's a calculation on the wiki for armor iirc

[hidden gorge]

mods

[distant field]

Iron Atgier level 2 requires Forge level 3.
Forge level 3 requires Forge Cooler and Anvils.

So, yeah, if you have those and you still can't do the upgrade, then it must be a mod causing issues.

[sly oyster]

The tower takes forever to clear but yeah I guess that's how I tend to get eggs

Can't put down a campfire for rested it's annoying

[distant field]

We found one place where you could.

[sly oyster]

Prolly around the top or clipped though since build rights are in the outside edge

[onyx skiff]

idk we have cleared 2 towers

we js built a base at the top

[fallen zephyr]

Whassup mah Vikings!

[plush umbra]

Got bow skill at 87, should i just use spinesnap or work my way to maxing arbalest?

[fallen zephyr]

Bow and crossbow are not the same skill Ignore that, I misread.

[plush umbra]

crossbows don't benefit as much from high levels as bows do.
in terms of dps alone, bows outdo crossbows on equal levels, the higher the levels, the more

the draw time of bows at level 100 is reduced by 80%, on crossbows it's only 50%.

and since crossbows barely consume stamina to begin with, that also doesn't improve much with levels, while bows combine a huge draw time reduction with a huge stamina cost while drawing reduction

[plush umbra]

so... just spinesnap and call it a day

if efficiency in battle is what you want, yea 😅
crossbows have a bit of a different playstyle that may be preferable to some despite their lower dps, myself included

i do like high bow skill's almost rapid fire shooting, but at the same time i can't say i don't like arbalest' insane burst damage output, it's really good for stealth scenarios

i like not having to draw arrows manually, i like the high damage per shot and thus lower bolt consumption, the high knockback, high range

yea crossbows are amazing for starting fights

leveled up arbalest + good bolts, sneak and backstab usually carried me a lot in previous playthroughs, this is the first one where i invested so much into bows to the point of having them so high even before touching ashlands

[plush umbra]

i guess both then, try to sneak/backstab with arbalest, then finish off with spinesnap

that could work

never tried combining them myself

currently using eitr trousers, root harnesk and carapace helmet, i like the survivability of staff of protection and the pierce resistance of root

wish i could use full root for the bow bonus, but that's not really ideal

[fallen zephyr]

Eitr trousers are great as long as you don't expect to 'carry on your line' as it were.

[hidden gorge]

I feel compelled to only use bone bolts with the crossbow, because otherwise there's no actually beneficial use for all the bones that pile up

[fallen zephyr]

Are you in Ashlands?

...That's a long answer for a yes/no question...

[hidden gorge]

yes -- the shield thing is pointless from what I've seen, and there's a whole nother type of bone type that piles up as well

[analog plaza]

Hey, I’m looking for a good server to play on, I’m on the series x

[hidden gorge]

I'm kinda disappointed you can't turn bones into arrows or ballista bolts

[fallen zephyr]

Yours. The best server to play on is always Yours.

[analog plaza]

lol well I was looking for a server with more players

[fallen zephyr]

Go check out #1024264966712340510 then. We'll see you when you get back. 😛

[silent oriole]

is recolouring signs not possible anymore?

[ornate sigil]

<color=red> will give you red letters.

[strange arrow]

https://borderleft.com/toolbox/hex/ any of these should work

[silent oriole]

i tried that with <color=white> but it was too long apparently... idk what happened. but it works now

[ornate sigil]

The signs have a small character limit like 20 or something.

[hidden gorge]

<#ffffff>

I prefer hex, get a bit more control

[ornate sigil]

And each code counts against that character limit.

[obtuse remnant]

400+ hours and just now realize the large roots in the burial chambers can be destroyed for wood

[fallen zephyr]

White supremacy?

[hidden gorge]

no? he was asking specifically about white sign color

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/dwayne-johnson-looking-confused-the-rock-gif-21978284

[fallen zephyr]

I think we're all aware of the 'white sign' #1938

[vocal rivet]

Joke falls flat, doubles down on it. Makes sense.

[fallen zephyr]

Commit to the bit.

[opaque bridge]

Does anyone have a server i can join?

[ornate sigil]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 is where most people are with servers

[opaque bridge]

ok thanks

[mortal igloo]

hi chat

[ornate sigil]

Welcome to the 10th world chat.

[distant field]

All I got are 10th World problems.

[ornate sigil]

99 worlds and a 10th ain't one.

[fallen zephyr]

So how do us 9th world residents get into this 10th world?

[vocal rivet]

All you have to do is die.

[fallen zephyr]

Wow. You took that trolling joke really hard.

[fair cairn]

i dont get it?

[fallen zephyr]

I don't think I did either.
With more thought, I imagine it's something to do with the progressing through the afterlife. I'm really looking forward to being part of the 42nd world.

[carmine kestrel]

Hey what's the deciding factor on getting the maypole and midsummer crown blueprints? because I've picked up dandelions, the thistle, and corewood all at the same time and nothing happened. Do I need to pick up 10 dandelions? let me know with mention. I have to go back out to pick up my delivery food real fast. I'll brb.

[fair cairn]

im pretty sure derek said inorder to get to the 10th world you need to die
Exactly like the player did in valheim

[fair cairn]

its gotta be summer to unlock the maypole

those items (idk about the midsummer crown) are locked behind the irl season summer

[hidden gorge]

maypole, flower crown, yule tree, hallow turnips, etc. seasonal items are only craftable during certain times of the year IRL

[fallen zephyr]

Correction: Northern hemisphere summer season

[fair cairn]

well i mean it was litterally winter for me (still is) during the summer event lol

[hidden gorge]

most people live in the northern hemisphere so generally I'd assume that if not specified

[carmine kestrel]

@fair cairn@hidden gorge Ty I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess something up. gotta fix my food ❤️

[fallen zephyr]

I'm happy to replace 'correction' with 'clarification'. I mean, the game devs are in Europe and they still pander to the US.

[hidden gorge]

pander to the US?

oh, maybe you're talking about spelling?

[vocal rivet]

Oh, having to use the US spelling on the Wiki so it matches the game annoys the heck out of me.

[fair cairn]

my spelling is allover the place sometimes i use US spelling others im using the UK spelling

[fallen zephyr]

Only US players will find my comments incredulous. The rest of the world knows how often we roll our eyes in resignation.

[hidden gorge]

not incredulous... petty maybe

[fallen zephyr]

You're adopting the role of Ambassador to the United States of America?

[grand ravine]

i feel this way about most things everywhere. and I'm american. i was just lucky enough to learn real english

[hidden gorge]

if that means being a member of the group you're making sweeping generalizations against, I suppose why not?

there should be a counterpart to the Ambassador of "the rest of the world" 😛

[fallen zephyr]

Fair enough. I'll amend my previous, "Only US players..." to "Only most US players...".

[carmine kestrel]

.>; I misspelled something that upset you? I'm very sorry o.o I was typing in a hurry.

then I'm confused on what happened while I was afk 😿

[vocal rivet]

A conversation about something entirely unrelated?

[carmine kestrel]

Sorry I had to scroll way up o.o I thought I had done something wrong, for a second.

[fair cairn]

ill not say my incredibly sarcastic comment i just thought about

[carmine kestrel]

Anyway... Ty again for answering my question ☕ I had just noticed that I didn't wind up with the two blueprints, earlier. And it disappeared from my other game save.

[dense tide]

is it the only way to build a base in a cave or mountain is to build it under the huge rock?

[sour jetty]

i''ve just got a question, does the game get laggier the more of the map you explore?

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, the game isn't really intended for you to be building cave or underground bases.

[vocal rivet]

Not really. The game only has a certain amount of the map loaded in at any one time so that won't change as you explore more. What causes lag is lots of buildings, lights (and other particle effects).

[fair cairn]

not really no its mostly about instances

[plush umbra]

(if you place loads of map markers, then at least for that character, it will, sliiiightly)

[hearty dragon]

heyo i got like a ton of bronze in mistlands era what do i do with it 😂

[sour jetty]

thanks for letting me know, i've just felt that i've suddenly gotten laggier after exploring a chunk of the map.

[keen cliff]

damn stone golems hit hard. trying to just put this guy in a hole lol

[normal wagon]

is valheim on ps4?

[odd helm]

It is not

[odd kernel]

Any one know the best skill level to have for each biome?

[smoky quarry]

100 each

[odd kernel]

Lol,if iam messing around with commands,yeah...

[smoky quarry]

75+ running at least

[ember kraken]

Personally I don't think it matters. You can beat the game with very low skills, I'd probably say anything above 20 in the skills you use should work.

[odd helm]

I believe the devcommand itemset allows you to spawn in a list of different inventories and skill levels geared for each biome in progression, for balance testing purposes

[smoky quarry]

he asked for The Best, i`d argue 100 is the best case

[odd helm]

Doesn't look like it's been updated for Ashlands in the wiki, but worth taking a look ingame if you want to see what those levels are

[vocal rivet]

Oh, my bad.

[odd helm]

I do think it's been nerfed a bit, late Mistlands was skills at 70, but it's lower now

[odd helm]

Yer good, appreciate the effort~

[serene hollow]

Don't get bogged down in skills not that huge of a difference really. Just play through each biome and when you are ready for the boss you will have sufficient skill points by that time.

[odd helm]

Aye, skills come naturally with gameplay, what matters is gear and materials

[serene hollow]

Three things that matter most in valheim imo. Rested Buff, food, and gear in that order. Gear is less necessary as you get better but does make your life easier.

[sturdy linden]

If you really want to delve into the dvergr side, your only option outside of using rocks already present in the game is to spawn new ones using devcommands 🙂

[sturdy linden]

If it was ashlands ... then it's just that biome being a little laggy on its own 😛

[vocal rivet]

Wow, 6 new Ashlands itemsets. That took a while.

[nocturne wolf]

What are they? How can there be 6?

[vocal rivet]

Ashlands, AshlandsMedium, AshlandsWeapons, AshlandsMage, AshlandsWarrior, AshlandsFood.

[sturdy linden]

That's a lot lol

[odd helm]

Huh, are the Mistlands sets still skills @ 70?

[vocal rivet]

I think you're right, Mistlands now also seems to be 30 now.

[odd helm]

Ah there we go

[sturdy linden]

30 is pretty for low for mistlands 😮
What's the ashland one ?

[vocal rivet]

I wonder if this is intentional.

[odd helm]

I think they've figured 70 was too high to come out of Mistlands into Ashlands with

Dunno bout y'all but my first Ashlands landfall, my skills hovered around 40?

[vocal rivet]

Heh, Plains is still 35 :-

[odd helm]

Hecc~

[nocturne wolf]

The devs expect our skills to go down because the biomes are so hard

[vocal rivet]

One for @near furnace I suspect.

[sturdy linden]

70 is indeed very high, 50 would be a decent target I reckon, for both too

[nocturne wolf]

Some skills should be higher then others
60-70 jump, 50-60 run and 40 for weapons?

[vocal rivet]

it's always given a flat skill level.

[odd helm]

For a quick skill injection to test expected balance, flat skills is probably fine

[vocal rivet]

Honestly, it really is just for testing purposes, and can be easily modified afterwards.

[odd helm]

Different ones might add too many variables

[nocturne wolf]

I know, but through normal gameplay movement skills are usually higher than the weapon skills

[vocal rivet]

I wasn't disagreeing, you're absolutely right.

[near furnace]

?

[ember kraken]

You should be to bed (as should I...)

[near furnace]

YEAH

soon™️ 😄

[ember kraken]

Hey, I resemble that remark! :p

[vocal rivet]

Oh, I was wondering if the skill levels for the itemset command were intentionally lower than before. But no rush at all.

[near furnace]

not sure when we changed those 🤔

could be around the time we started doing ashlands testing and pre-pared for our own amazing testers

[vocal rivet]

The Ashlands ones are all presumably new, and they're only 30. But that now seems to match Mistlands.

[near furnace]

🤷

don't look into to it to hard honestly

it's just a number

[vocal rivet]

Oh, absolutely, I'm not bothered either way. Just making sure you guys intended it.

[near furnace]

I personally test with 0 skill, 30 skill, 40,50 etc etc up to 100

it's for TESTING only

not "oh, this is what developers expect"

[vocal rivet]

Again, yes, as I said earlier. It's really not an issue at all.

[fleet valve]

Does Moder work with the Asksvin cloak

[odd helm]

I believe Moder is only active while sailing, so probably not?

[plush umbra]

yea pretty sure the power chooses direction based on the facing direction of whatever ship you're on

[merry pebble]

iirc somebody tested it in ptb ashlands and it didnt work, a bit sad but what can we do 🙂

[gray sand]

We already have Eikthyr power for running 🤷‍♂️

[plush umbra]

well that doesn't speed you up

(unless we're talking about in total, since you can spend more time running, i'm just saying the running speed is the same)

[merry pebble]

and if you add ask set to it you can run for even longer 😄

[strong fjord]

I've lost like all my skills from the mistlands. pretty much all of them are at 20 now 😦

[dense tide]

After an animal tamed, will they follow you back home?

[vocal rivet]

Only wolves will.

[dense tide]

Thanks!

[dense tide]

So can I use harpoon shoot it and drag other animal home?

[fleet valve]

Is there a mod for Moder Asksvin cloak :(

[sour jetty]

i keep finding really really tiny patches of swamp off the coast of my island, could this be a sign of a swamp nearby or not? if not are there any tips or tricks to find a swamp?

[austere belfry]

shooting squitos with the crossbow is so satisfying

[distant field]

Could be. Beyond later biomes being more common the further you get from world centre (the Forsaken altar), there positioning is essentially random. And even out at the furthest reaches (until you get to the two end game biomes) you still get a mix of everything.

[austere flower]

does anyone know what "missing db " means when i go to start a server

[plush umbra]

i wanna get the game is it worth it?

[gray sand]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

You're asking in the game's Discord... so literally everyone is going to say "yes."

[rain flare]

Depends on what you want from a game

If you like building, resource gathering, exploring, and some basic combat mechanics with a Viking flare thrown in on the side, then sure, valheim’s the game for you

[empty harbor]

This game got me saying stuff while farming for materials like: ODIN, GIVE ME A CULTIST TROPHY AND MY BOSS TROPHYS WILL BE YOURS

That was quite cringeworthy to type ngl now that I look back

I will formally remove myself from this channel now

[proper edge]

[merry sun]

Best game i ever played

[ornate sigil]

Sorry for the late reply but .db and .fwl are related to the world saving properly. Jaga in the https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 knows a fare bit more.

[nocturne pasture]

Why Padded Cuirass uses Iron instead of Black Metal which is available in the same biome as Linen?

and the logical next step after silver.

[merry pebble]

maybe properties of BM are not desirable for making armor from it 🙂

[runic quiver]

in the swamps, you read a vegvesir that tells you how an ancient civilization was struck down and it is implied that these are their dead in the swamps. In the plains you later learn from another stone it is the Fuling who was struck down by the gods and who had their whole civilization destroyed.

whose dead are we killing in the swamps? because those are way too tall to be goblins.

[merry pebble]

yes, those are two different civilizations, draugr were previously just humans

[distant field]

Yeah, different civilisations struck down in different ways at different times, I believe. And clearly the Fulings were not completely destroyed. Unlike the humans that became Draugr. Later in the game you will learn of another civilisation that met a similar fate. IIRC.

[runic quiver]

im already at that point and was wondering if this was what was left of them

[safe flower]

question about the trollstav, is there any real benefit to upgrading it?

[merry pebble]

more durability

if thats worth it depends mostly on you 🙂

[runic quiver]

speaking of the trollstav, how easy is it to accidentally get the summoned entity to attack you on accident when you summon one in battle? I read they have no alliance to you the way skeletons do

[safe flower]

thats just silly really, why not make the troll stronger or cost a little less mana

[azure yacht]

By not doing it when you're alone

[merry pebble]

basically take them as any other enemy that gets also agroed to any other of your enemies

[runic quiver]

will my skeletons try to attack it on sight if i also have a dead raiser in use?

[merry pebble]

not sure, but certainly possible

[azure yacht]

Most likely

[runic quiver]

ill have to test that in a controlled manner. I finally got myself a staff of the wilds and learned you can hamsterball the tentacles it summons

[olive vault]

is there a reason why the graydwarfs keep destroying my dvarger lanterposts i have placed along a path?

[runic quiver]

because you put it there. they will do the same thing to your work benches.

[merry pebble]

because they are one one of the structures that are attacked on sight

[olive vault]

oh alrighty

[merry pebble]

if you want i can send you a list done by Winter of what structures count for player base and which are attacked on sight, tho it was done before ashlands so some things are missing

[olive vault]

yea that would be really helpful

[vocal rivet]

There's always https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[merry pebble]

true, but i am not sure if there is a list of items attacked on sight 🙂

[vocal rivet]

That's true. I'm not sure where that info is in the code.

I've just updated it for Ashlands though, so thanks for the reminder.

[merry pebble]

welp, you are welcome i guess 😄

[vocal rivet]

I had no idea the skeleton thing counted!

[merry pebble]

skeleton thing?

[vocal rivet]

Oh, sorry, spoilers.

[merry pebble]

no, i already have been in ashlands and know most of the things, i just really dont know what you mean 😄

[jovial forge]

hey is there a steam properities start that allows for valheim to use more of your cpu, a person online is saying -gfx-enable-gfx-jobs and -gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs. If this is true how do I even input these into steam if I already have -console

and would these even help

[vocal rivet]

Oh, you can build an asksvin skeleton from parts you pick up. For... Some reason.

[merry pebble]

oh that thing 😄

[quick cradle]

how to put forge blow ?

[olive vault]

you put it close th the forge benche

[ornate sigil]

Not that I am aware of in steam, but you could to go task manager and set it as a higher priority there. Task manager > details> right click > set priority.

[jovial forge]

great Idea thanks

[final bloom]

probably a steam run command?

I forgot how they're called, but u can set parameters for Steam to run a game

[vocal rivet]

Just add those arguments after your -console

[quick cradle]

what is mead ?

[distant field]

It is a traditional alcoholic drink made from fermented honey.

In game, it’s potions.

[quick cradle]

aaaa

[fair cairn]

well he beat me, wanted to say something similar

[quick cradle]

how to get them

[fair cairn]

builda fermenter using i think tin?

[distant field]

Yeah, you need a fermenter and some ‘mead base’ (which are prepared in the couldron, like food (various ingredients unlock recipes for different mead bases (which have different effects)))

[zealous fern]

hi can i join to a world and ask for an armor to resist the cold in the Mountain?

[merry pebble]

Bronze iirc

[silent oriole]

quick question. so rn i am using silver shield, and about to tackle the plains. and just now i learned iron buckler is a thing. would switching to that makes sense, or do i rather need the silver shields blocking?
