Which requires tin. So they’re not wrong… 😜🤣

fair cairn
#

pretty sure the silver shield is a higher biome sheild so it would be better

silent oriole
#

i know that. the question is would iron buckler be enough to actually shield and parry in plains

fair cairn
#

unless i guess you never miss a parry then iron buckler maybe?

silent oriole
#

like if everything goes through it, theres no way to use it anyway

distant field
#

Yeah, silver is mountains, iron is swamp. Swamp is earlier than mountains. And as a general rule latter biome gear is better.

fair cairn
#

scott, help me

#

he helped

distant field
#

I use a bow. So I don’t know which is better from a parrying point of view. 🤣

fair cairn
#

i stopped using bucklers when i could make a shield, i miss like quite a few parries

vocal rivet
#

What's a shield?

fair cairn
#

a broad piece of defensive armor carried on the arm
according to wiki

#

i should rather say according to google

Ever since I got an abyssal harpoon I've just been harpooning random enemies and dragging them with me

#

It's really fun

nocturne wolf
#

It’s great for pet leeches, you can show them what land looks like

crimson cradle
#

Oh smarttt

ornate sigil
#

On a old server, we boxed in a sea serpent and the harpoon played a major roll. I had the roll of filling the gap once the serpent was in, using a hoe and a ton of rock.

#

Very scary since 2 chomps was all it would take to kill any of us, but quite the accomplishment once done.

You can do that too.

After you tamed them, that is.

crimson cradle

i actually did find a plains biome while running around and i immediately ran the other way

sick dragon
#

it really depends on your blocking level, if its pretty high you can easily parry everything with your shield (if upgraded too)

#

and no going to the iron buckler would not make sense i don't think

foggy glacier
#

and if your timing isn't good on the 'squitos, you're going to want the extra block armor/force.

nocturne wolf
#

Block force wont help to kill them, it would bounce them away further

Need tar to unlock the recipe

#

From the plains

half dragon
#

Tar is such pain in the ass if you use it extensively in building stuff... I've cleared many plains biomes from tar and still not enough 😂

sharp bluff
#

tar may be the one material thats worse than iron

runic quiver
#

i would argue i hate getting flametal more than anything lol

sharp bluff
#

yeah, but you dont consume it in such large amounts

half dragon
#

I cleared 1 pillar and I got all the flametal I needed for my gear... I felt very disappointed how little effort that took...

#

but to be fair, I do use mage gear

sharp bluff
#

start using it for construction and your opinion will change
and yes, melees have a bigger demand

runic quiver
#

I go through easily 50-100 tar on build projects.

I wouldnt mind flametal farming if it didnt glitch and make me slide so i can't scale the tower

sharp bluff
#

50-100? mate, some of us need an entire chest

half dragon
#

does flametal have any purpose beyond building on lava?

#

damn... kinda wish they made it stronger so I could build a taller wizard tower. Unfortunately the location where I'm building it has no stone pillar

sharp bluff

#

I guess I could still try to use trees to make it taller... just have to figure out how to make it so those branches do not poke through

Armor reduces damage taken from all damage types. If armor is less than half of raw damage, health lost = damage - armor. But if armor is more than half of the damage, health lost = (Damage/(Armor*4))*Damage. I never looked at the formula before. This is very interesting.

half dragon
# runic quiver lmaooooo oh man. i can't even visualize that i avoid large scale building after ...

A fun challenge: Build a bridge tall enough to let the big chonky ship through under it. I did exactly that... I was building a longship class bridge, but then they announced ashlands and saw the new ship... immeaditely became concerned with the bridge I was working on since it wouldn't be tall enough. Luckily it was still possible to make it taller since I built it 1 side at the time. Stopped working on it and waited until the beta branch arrived to get the measures.

# twin gale Its about adventure ?

Survival, crafting, building, exploring are the most common descriptions for valheim besides "hardcore".
I guess exploring could be considered adventuring, but it isn't a RPG necessarily.

half dragon
#

I guess the multiplayer part of Valheim could kind of classify as some kind of RPG, but that entirely depends on how those players play the game since there's barely any NPCs to interact with

lament briar
#

Can somebody dm me a closeup of a training dummy?

#

Isn't there a trainingdummy you can spawn in console?

vocal rivet
#

Sure, in the console.

lament briar
#

I can't be on the computer right now. Can someone spawn one and dm me the image?

lament briar
half dragon
#

Yea. Used the buff for mining speed, made sure that there's nothing dangerous too close to the pillar

lament briar
#

You mined the entire thing?

sharp bluff
#

securing the pillar is the real battle

half dragon
#

almost, couldn't quite get literally all of it, but only tiny portion went under the lava

lament briar
#

How much ore did you get?

half dragon
#

Kinda forgot... I just remember that it was surprisingly large amount

#

haven't mined pillars for a long while since I don't need more of the metal, kinda wish I did need

lament briar
#

There are so many flametal weapons that will soon be obsolete because frozen north will release Frostner on steroids and other frozen weapons. Frost is the best.

half dragon
#

yup. also luckilly mages/wizards do not need much flametal

lament briar
#

I wish the staff of frost had an alt AOE attack, like Blizzard or something

vocal rivet

#

I kinda wish every staff had an alternative attack

#

If my bed is above a throne, will it still give me the comfort level?

sharp bluff
#

game only calculates range in 2D iirc?

half dragon
lament briar
#

Comfort range should be extended significantly, or if there are comfort items in a room, comfort should be confined to that room

half dragon
#

hidding stuff behind/inside walls for extra comfort is a viable strat

#

or above/below

sharp bluff
vocal rivet
#

The game doesn't know what a 'room' is.

lament briar
sharp bluff
lament briar
#

20x20

#

Or maybe 30x30?

sharp bluff
#

that'd do it, unless the calculations take your framerate behind the shed

half dragon
#

Pretty sure comfort is basically just the same as work bench, that it checks if you're within range and then just increase your comfort by the amount it provides (assuming there's no mutually exclusive pieces or duplicates)

lament briar
#

I shouldn't have to place my bed right next to a hearth chimney

#

It all feels too constricted

half dragon
#

I have a hearth in floor below in different room and it's still close enough, apparently

lament briar
#

Maybe I'm not arranging my stuff correctly.

sharp bluff
vocal rivet
lament briar
#

I've made attempts to place things as close as I can to one another and sometimes I still receive one comfort off

grand ravine
#

pretty sure comfort still checks distances in 3d. crafting stations used to but i recently noticed they can be far above/below and still work now, not sure exactly when they changed that (sometime in the past year or so)

lament briar
#

And tell me why Ashland comfort structures don't give additional comfort?

sharp bluff
#

cuz its kinda unnecessary? we are already at a point where increasing it further gives almost no benefits

lament briar
#

Rugs, beds

half dragon
#

guess they think we already have enough comfort 🤷‍♂️

#

doesn't really make too much of a difference outside of boss battles

lament briar
#

Does ember rain hurt?

vocal rivet
#

You can get a day of rested bonus. Thats enough surely?

sharp bluff
#

whoch boss takes you longer than 20 min?

half dragon
#

20 minutes at least to me is more than good enough since I tend to return to base regularly to drop off my loot

sharp bluff
#

yeah, in 15 mins you gather so much stuff that you are full anywqay

grand ravine

can never be too comfortable.

half dragon
#

that god damn fire douche

#

not in ashlands one

sharp bluff
#

yagluth? eeeeeh

half dragon
#

forgor that frostner is an option, in the end took about 35 minutes without frostner

keen cliff
#

interesting that iron sword level 4 needs 80 iron, but level 4 silver sword needs 160. to balance out less stuff to build with silver i guess

sharp bluff
#

silver stuff is alsp waaaay stronger than iron

#

frostner is still useful in mistlands kekw

half dragon
#

yagulth would be so much easier if you didn't have to constantly burn yourself to deal damage, even with highest fire resist it's still going to slow you down a lot

lament briar
#

What if armor made from silver had a thorns effect on undead creatures?

#

Like, it hits us but it takes spirit damage?

#

I wish spirit damage was immediate and not a damage over time effect.

#

Maybe half of the damage could be immediate and the other half is dots

keen cliff
lament briar
#

Going from dots off the bat is useless considering the effect is constantly applied while attacking.

keen cliff
#

spirit damage on a weapon with good knockback and slow seems way better than on a sword also.

#

investing in frostner seems a no brainer. while silver sword not so much

lament briar
#

I love my frostner but the power output is lacking, even though it is useful in Ashlands.

#

I could also do without much of the knock back. Knockback was an issue in plains.

keen cliff
#

right, i just mean in trying to use the spirit damage over time effectively

lament briar
#

Also, why can't enemies be wet in the rain, but we are? I understand Swamp could be an exception since everything is wet, but come on.

#

Baiting everything into the water with Frostner is cheesy.

half dragon
lament briar
#

They should be wet, too, though

#

There is no reason they should remain dry through heavy rain

sour spruce

the zeds in the swamps are totally wet

They certainly feel the zap and cold

sour spruce
#

how would u know sir

lament briar
#

Enemies have stamina?

sour spruce
#

most things do in this universe

lament briar
#

Wait, what? They actually have stamina?

half dragon
#

They certainly could have, but they seem to attack too slowly to actually drain it sufficiently quickly to run out of it

sour spruce
#

i didnt make the game, i didnt see the source code. it may be that or it may not

nocturne wolf
#

Creatures have stamina but don't use it

sour spruce
#

it goes to show tho ur aruging for ur benefit

lament briar
#

I don't think it's wrong to take advantage of the weather when it is in our favor.

#

If it's such a problem, rain could be more scarce in some biomes.

sour spruce
#

sun is in our favor rain is supposed to be difficulty +

half dragon
#

I think the combat would be more interesting if stamina of enemies actually played a role in it. You dodge/evade a combo and then strike back when it's tired

#

berserkers seem to kind of act like that

lament briar
#

Kinda wish more creatures had headshot weakspots, like creatures with big old heads like berserkers.

sour spruce
#

im kinda with it, it lowkey makes for a more predictable and meta pvp combat too perhaps

#

when you can feel the pulse of stamina regen for example

#

a couple do but i too wish it was a thing for all creatures

lament briar
#

Also why are fulings so tanky when all they wear are loincloths? So much health for no reason.

sour spruce
#

jus burn em with your compassion

half dragon
#

They have been trained by the bikini warriors, less armor = more armor or something

lament briar

That's a good one! I'll actually consider that canon.

And wouldn't it be funny if they were allies with necks? Like...

"Dw lil bro. I'll protect you"

Necks should be immune to lava because they evolved from asksvin

Poor dwarves in ashlands, they only put rogues there and no mages, and they keep walking into lava and burn.

Oh, they are. Nvm.

Very resistant?

half dragon
#

ohh... okay... nvm. I went to google and was surprised. Apparently molten lava isn't that hot compared to fire, they are quite comparable.

#

Doesn't take too much effort to make a fire hotter than lava

Have they patched the areas that appear safe to walk but are actually lava tiles?

half dragon
#

now imagine magical fire, probably even hotter and then it kinda starts making sense why lava does no damage but other fire sources do, a little

lament briar
#

You'll need your Swamp key to access the crypts. You can find withered bones from digging through muddy scrap piles, looking inside chests, or you can find them on the ground.

#

Don't worry, you will likely have more than enough enough bones to start the boss several times by the time you exit your first crypt.

Honestly surprised to find out how disappointing lava temperature actually is compared to fire. Guess that's just how powerful chemical reactions can be

Damage over time types are only useful on ranged weapons, not close combat. Tf you gonna do, smack something and run?

I haven't tried to see if I can terraform a safe spot yet. I did try dig a hole under his altar and put a workbench there to test, but he wrecked that pretty quickly.

sharp bluff

But the fire damage is pitiful.

#

For a quest weapon, that fire should last much, much longer.

sharp bluff

as is the lightning dmg on nid

ember kraken

The fire sword is probably meant to be used in the next biome.

sharp bluff
#

yes

lament briar
#

Even so, the fire damage is pitiful. You get more fire damage from a torch.

nocturne wolf

The fire damage is only there to give the enemies a burning effect on hit

yeah, but a torch doesnt give you 150 slash dmg lmao

You won't keep the karve for long. There are other ships available once you reach iron(swamp) and between mistlands and ashlands.

Hi all,
I played the game for a few days and was very satisfied initially. However, when I was grinding in the Black Forest I found it very annoying to defeat the same enemies time and time again without any meaningful gain (trolls, greydwarfs and skeletons both). I started ignoring them, but then when I died, well, it was not quite fun.
Is the game going to be that zergish onward or is the Black Forest area special in this sense?

timid sun
ornate sigil
#

That feels like a lot to pick apart, but ultimately, you don't like how the greydwarfs swarm you. Mobs are alerted by "sound" so the louder you are (chopping trees is very loud vs walking) the more they will come looking for you.

There are ways around this to a degree. Spawn proofing helps if you are in base and don't want to be disturbed by a passing mob. Choosing not to go out at night will decrease the amount you have to deal with also.

#

Also, certain weapons and combat tactics can help. Atgeir has a AOE heavy attack that is great.

# proper edge does it ever rain in plains?

Short answer is: I believe so.

I have mostly seen clear or foggy, but I know rain can be applied using devcommands. The flip side of that is, I don't know if it will occur naturally and I don't think all weather patterns happen (IE: snow is unique to the mountains, ash rain/storm to the ashlands, ect.)

they de-aggro a certain time after they can't make an attack at you. fast mobs that are always getting an attack at you will follow you far. slow mobs that you get away from, and they can't make an attack, give up because of that

oh, maybe i need to git the vein at it's center to make the whole thing break apart... trying that

obtuse remnant

I think you have to hit it enough to break one chunk

that didn't work for me. i did get giant parts to break away and crumble into ore, but i didn't get the whole thing to explode at once. maybe i missed a contact point, or the fact that i broke apart a piece at the beginning

Little to nothing is known as was the case for previous biomes. I've read that achievements might be added in 1.0, but aside from that there isn't much. The devs did start talking about and showing artwork/screenshots of the newest biome about a year before it came out, so we might start seeing some things after the new year

#

You can sail to the deep north now just like you were able to sail to the ashlands before the release. It just won't look anything like it will look when it comes out, and all of the creatures/loot/ore/etc is missing or placeholder

There are tons of mods that grant QoL things

ah ok, thx again mate. Sry, but one last question 😄 What is the best way to be stay tunned ? Which is the plattform where the devs drops most informations about future of the game ?

Some of the devs have X and will occasionally post things they are working on. I don't know any of them off the top of my head. The best place for official news will be here on Discord on the news page or Steam. It is the same information on both.

nah the issue is that you look specifically for a group to play on weekends cuz you work a 50 hour week and cant play under the week, and then those people just play under the week anyways. unlocking everything in the new biome you just unlocked last weekend

so when you come online next saturday, you are greeted by a group of people all with maxed mistlands gear, and you never even set a foot into the biome

and they want to do the queen that saturday, so you already know next weekend they'll greet you with maxed ashlands gear

Out of curiosity tho, what game has a bad fandom wiki ?

I've rarely used them but the last one I used was fallout's fandom wiki (fallout in general but mostly when I played 4 and recently 1 and 2) and it was pretty accurate.

Even made some commit myself to correct a few missing things here and there but nothing game breaking by far !

Anecdotal evidence is not good evidence.

ive looked at the wiki plenty, and its formatting is inconsistent, many pages miss infos others have, many pages are difficult to find and there are several other no-name wikis because clearly the community is split on it.

Regardless...

Valheim fandom wiki is the ONLY wiki we have and usually main issue fandom wikis have is the info being outdated due to being abandoned

But this one isn't, and is thoroughly maintained and whenever something is NOT looking right it's because of an oversight, not because is a pile of shit that's completely abandoned, because it definitely isn't

to completely change the topic from wikis, is there any raid I should be more concerned about than Trolls for the damage that would be done to my base, prior to defeating Yagluth?

and is there any good way to avoid dealing with such a raid, other than making an island base and spawnproofing the entire island?

sturdy linden

Bats, especially if you have boars

just put the boars indoors. hildir raids can be rough

i should go big brother bonemass again with frostner, after luring him into the water

fallen zephyr

I would argue (for 1-hand/shield builds) that sword is the best option across the whole game. Swords perform well for the early biomes; Mistweaver makes Mistlands easier for transporting weight above 300. Then, you can continue with Mistweaver to own Morgen, or use a silver sword to decimate the charred mobs.

I'm wanting to make a nice and well lit dock here on this island, if nothing else, but obviously I don't want the dock to get hit with raids while I'm parking my boat

According to the (very nice) list made and pinned by winter (the helper), yes, torches count as base items.

#

you could always use other items like headlamps or surtling trophies.

true tartan
#

true

#

but getting those in large enough quantities to justify use in decoration is hard

ornate sigil
#

according to that same list, the dwarf lanterns don't count as base structures.

true tartan
#

...that's very odd

ornate sigil
#

It's in the pinned section of building tips*

true tartan
#

but the only way I'd have access to those would be if I cheated hard

#

I'm not even in the Mountains yet, let alone Mistlands

ornate sigil
#

lots of headlamps then, just need a ton of coin.

Hello, I just got this game yesterday and got 9 hours on it already, tho not much to show for it.

distant field
true tartan
#

time to hunt down and kill a thousand trolls, I guess

ebon estuary
#

I beat the big deer dude before going to bed though

true tartan
#

honestly, killing the first boss within your first 9 hours playing the game is pretty good

ebon estuary
#

The lightning deer guy?

true tartan
#

yes

ornate sigil

#

Oh, well heck, I thought I was doing something very wrong. I had only a flint axe. I died a few times needless to say

ebon estuary
#

Any pointers in any way shape or form is greatly appreciated, especially on weapons more than anything

I presume I can kill the deer more than once since? Also, I got the flint axe, I'll make a shield once I log on

true tartan

also a note, grabbing your gravestone gives you massive damage resistance for about a minute, so that you can grab your stuff and get away safely

Gotcha, I'll keep that in mind. Only need one base/home too right?

#

Um, what's biome?

true tartan
#

biome is like, the type of area

#

you start the game in the Meadows, then there's a Forest, then a Swamp...

distant field
#

Different terrain types - like "Meadows" vs "Black Forest"

ebon estuary
#

Ah, ok.

distant field
#

You'll get a message pop up the first time you enter a new biome.

true tartan
#

as for bases, you technically only need one, but due to the sheer scale of the game world, and the difficulty of transporting certain resources over long distances, it's generally recommended to at least make small outposts with the basic necessities in any place you intend to stay for a while

ebon estuary
#

Copy that. One last thing, with the days that go by, that's not gonna affect my game play is it? Like I don't have a certain number of in game days to "win"?

true tartan
#

nope, the number of days that pass don't matter mechanically

ebon estuary
#

Sweet. That had me wondering if I was doing something wrong tbh.

true tartan
#

it's more just a running counter to tell you how long the world has been active

ebon estuary
#

Ah, ok.

#

Thanks very much for the help and advice, both of ya. Much appreciated. I'ma go kill more deer, boars, n necks for materials

distant field
#

The day/night cycle does have some mechanical meaning, but, yeah, not as a limit on anything, that I know of.

ebon estuary
#

I just know that it gets cold at night and the one goblin dudes eyes turn a different color

true tartan
#

at night, more dangerous things spawn

#

that's about it

ebon estuary
true tartan
#

as for getting cold, you can eventually get around that issue just by your clothing

true tartan
#

so the safest biome in the game becomes much less safe the more you progress

ebon estuary
#

Gotcha. I'll keep an eye out for sure then now. I feel I was gettin a tad complacent runnin around gathering. Thanks again!!

do Dvergr sometime go into passive mode or something? one of their structures was completely surrounded in the ashlands and I cleared it out, then i destroyed the ward to make a portal. out of nowhere a Dvergr comes up to me and starts attacking. where tf were you when the building was surrounded?

keen cliff
#

i should have made the obliterator sooner. now i can do something with the ridiculous amount of leather scraps i had stored from my boar farm

#

and some of these usleless trophies...

fair cairn
#

be sure not to turn the trophies you need for bait, and weapons and armor into coal

#

unless youve got surplus

keen cliff
#

well that's lucky. a second silver depositor about 20 meters from one i just mined

hidden gorge
#

it can be handy to have a "trophy chest" that you can autostack any trophies from your inventory, and then when a stack overflows, send the full stack to the obliterator

true tartan
#

I've made my decision on what to do with this village - it's gonna be an outpost with two big ol' stone towers (at least 10 meters tall), and at the top of each tower will be a breeder setup

#

one tower will be boars, one will be wolves

#

so long as I'm careful about how many base items I put down, I won't even have to worry about raids

keen cliff
#

wooohoo. was able to mine out the vein and crumble it all with one broken bit. that's fun

#

i do boar/wolf breeding in a combined tower at my base, and totally enclose it. no worry about raids

man im so not used to greydwarves being dangerous

#

this is going to be a theme throughout the run, isnt it

merry pebble
#

did you increase the difficulty?

wet lodge
#

very hard combat

merry pebble
#

oooh, yeah, taht will be most likely quite a challenge 😄

wet lodge
#

I have a bunch of mods that balance the playing field, but not back to normal

merry pebble
#

doesent that kinda defeat the purpose? if you want only slightly harder you can use the "hard" instead of "very hard"

wet lodge
#

but I also want these mods

#

and its still harder than hard

#

man that two star skelly just now actually scared me, I dont have a shield yet

true tartan
#

a'ight, 2 star boar breeding with a no star

#

soon I shall be able to replace the weaker link

wet lodge
#

I only got a 1 star so far

true tartan
#

travel further away from your spawn, you'll find better ones

merry pebble
#

pray to RNGeezus so you will find a 2 star 😄

wet lodge
#

last time I found a 2 star right next to spawn

merry pebble
#

they can spawn at the runestones, but only once

true tartan
#

yeah, it's mostly RNG. BUT, if you have a runestone that talks about boars, and you see a bunch of boars around it, kill them and come back

true tartan
merry pebble
#

the non runestone boars can hve stars only after you get far enough from spawn 🙂

wet lodge
#

I think the combat modifier actually makes star boars more likely

merry pebble
true tartan
#

and the ones that spawn at runestones can be 1 or 2 star

wet lodge
#

and more boars on runestones, they got like 8 boars

merry pebble

two of my mods I dont think I can play without again, one makes it so food doesnt degrade over time (always hated that you need to eat so often just to maintain the actual buff) and plant everything

#

just cuts down on the busywork a lot

merry pebble
#

you mean the food timer? so you only need to make the food one time? thats boring and erases any need for planting stuff...

wet lodge
#

you dont need to eat food every 10 minutes, instead when the timer actually runs out

grand ravine
#

idt i could ever play with any mods. except bearigible.

merry pebble
#

same, i really dont like mods

true tartan
#

oh, so you mean that your food mod just makes it so your health and stamina remain at the maximum amount for the entire duration

merry pebble
#

seems like that

wet lodge
#

food says it lasts 20 min? actually its 10 and then you gotta eat again or you just run around with too low stats

true tartan
#

eh, not really

grand ravine
#

that ....cuts down on busywork..?

true tartan
#

used to be that way, but a change a fair while back made it so that you only lose like half of the effectiveness over the first 90% of the duration, or something like that, and the remaining half is only lost during the last 10%

wet lodge
#

you dont burn through a stack of food within 1.5 hours anymore, so less farming and plant everything means you dont got to run around for berries

true tartan
grand ravine
#

i would not take that trade

wet lodge
#

I dont have hours to spend on farming food to actually play the game

true tartan
#

yeah, I personally only ever eat before it fully runs out if I'm about to go into a combat intensive scenario

vocal rivet
true tartan
#

it's only hours if you sit there and stare at the plants until they finish growing

wet lodge
#

you cant plant everything in vanilla

merry pebble
#

wdym hours? you just need big enough farm to plant a lot of crops and then go do other stuff, the planting of few hundred things takes like 5 minutes, maybe less

vocal rivet
true tartan
wet lodge
#

e.g. 300 onions last maybe 2 play sessions

unless you're talking about raspberry and blueberry bushes

vocal rivet

300 for 2 play sessions? Are you playing for whole days?

merry pebble

berry bushes and thistle are literally the only things you can't plant that you might want to

vocal rivet

Well, that covers the FIRST two biomes.

#

There's stuff in every biome you can't farm that you might want to.

true tartan

oh, my bad, i forgot mushrooms

true tartan

Have... have you played the game?

Ah, that explains it.

these things are added via the plant everything mod:
Raspberry Bush, Blueberry Bush, Cloudberry Bush
Mushrooms, Yellow Mushrooms, Blue Mushrooms
Thistle, Dandelion, SmokePuffs, Fiddlehead Fern
Ancient Sapling, Ygga Sapling, Autumn Birch Sapling, Ashwood Sapling

I've noticed that the wishbone takes up a belt slot somehow

true tartan

vocal rivet

#

the ashwood sapling idk the impact, I havent gotten to ashlands

true tartan

are you constantly eating only the best foods, even when you're just doing idle work around your base?

just eat some honey, maybe a carrot

It's 10 minutes work, you'll cope.

I've genuinely never had any problem with the farming in this game, it takes like two minutes to plant stuff and then you're done, unless you have a freakin three mile farm

vocal rivet

and focus more on the aspects of the game that are fun

crimson cradle

Because you're wearing it as a belt?

"he is using mods in a casual sandbox game!!!11!1! cheater!! reeee!!1!"

lemme put it this way - it's not a belt slot, it's an accessory slot

gatekeeping and ragebaiting so hard damn

merry pebble
vocal rivet
#

All you've done over the last two days is rage baiting.

true tartan
#

i'm not gatekeeping at all here, I'm just pointing out that if you find the base difficulty of the game too easy, it's because you chose to make the strongest gear you could and then upgrade it

wet lodge
#

I go to mountains in troll armor

true tartan
#

there's plenty of challenge with the game's base difficulty, if your gear isn't maxed out

vocal rivet
#

True. Each biome's boss is balanced to be do-able with level 1 of that tier's armour and weapons.

wet lodge
#

stay on fenris for mistlands, idk about ashlands

true tartan
nocturne wolf
#

I usually use iron atgeir, iron mace, banded/serpent shield and troll armor for mountains

wet lodge
#

bronze buckler for mountains, getting a silver shield there tho. blackmetal shield is important for parrying 2 star soldiers

#

so cant skip that at all. weapon idk, what I feel like

#

first time ever I stuck with axe, second time sword, then knife. this time I havent decided

#

spears maybe

true tartan
#

i hope you enjoy not hitting anything standing half a foot lower than you

wet lodge
#

though since im on very hard combat I'll have to actually care about my choice this time

true tartan
#

because that's what a spear will get ya

wet lodge
#

I'd go two handed but I like parrying too much

true tartan
#

spear is terrible at hitting enemies at different elevations than you

wet lodge
#

maces maybe? idk if they hold up

#

knife im not doing again for sure, those are overpowered

merry pebble
#

with atgeirs you exchange parry with spin attack which has awesome stagger

true tartan
#

i might recommend trying out the BIG axe

wet lodge
#

I'd have to see if atgeir can stagger soldiers or whatever ashlands got

grand ravine
#

lol

ember kraken
#

On hard, I'd generally move awya from shields myself, parry should still work, but much worse than at normal. I find 2 handed weapons gets better at harder difficulty.

true tartan
wet lodge
#

for context on knife, a blackmetal knife can stun a 1 star seeker in 3 hits

#

actually busted

#

I could go bows but if you dont go melee combat whats even the point

I always find it amusing how much people hate on spear. It's one of my most played weapons, and I don't have a problem hitting stuff. After playing it a bit you get used to positioning yourself to be able to hit stuff reliably. Now I actually miss more with other weapons because I miss the high hit box of spear.

merry pebble

🍿

true tartan

i prefer a weapon that works fairly reliably without me having to constantly consider my positioning
