[smoky steppe]

ok

"is there any easy way to find and farm trolls? im using the finewood bow with fire arrows"

[nocturne pasture]

perfect block is more effective Id say

but not the best to learn it with troll hide armor

[ember kraken]

Well, generally just wander around in BF and look around. Randomly hit a rock or a tree to make some noise to attract them if they're nearby.

[smoky steppe]

ok

[smoky steppe]

you want me to perfect block a troll, with a wooden sheild? not happening

[ember kraken]

Try to look in BF areas you haven't been in for a while. As there's a timer before they can respawn iirc.

[smoky steppe]

i dont have enough bronze for the buckler yet

[nocturne pasture]

nah, learn it with bronze armor^^

[smoky steppe]

i can already perfect block often, not 100% of the time but still

but i think running around shooting arrows is easy

[ember kraken]

If you run 2 health foods, got a decent blocking skill, and some upgrades. I've parried them with wooden shield and murdered them with flint spears :p

[smoky steppe]

interesting, would my bronze axe be better than a flint spear>

[ember kraken]

But I can definitively see that not everyone wants to do that.

Naah, troll is weak to piercing damage. So bow, spear and daggers are good.

[nocturne wolf]

Trolls are weak to pierce

[smoky steppe]

and what skill level should i get my block to?

its at 6 rn

[ember kraken]

Not sure what to recommend there. I've just played the same character for a long time over many many games/worlds, so I've just accumulated a good bit of skills over the years.

[smoky steppe]

i see

i just started yesterday

[nocturne wolf]

You shouldn’t try to get your skills anywhere, it’s best to increase them by playing normally

[ember kraken]

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about skills, just play normally.

[smoky steppe]

i know, i have my axe cutting and pickaxe at about 26, those are my highest 2

[nocturne wolf]

Jump is always my highest

[smoky steppe]

mine is maybe at 13, i dont jump a lot

[ember kraken]

Run, woodchopping and mining tends to be mine. They're always competing.

[nocturne wolf]

I always jump attack when I can. Attacks don’t slow you down in the air and it’s a better than rolling to avoid attacks

[ember kraken]

Huh interesting, I'll have to experiment some with that the next time I start up a game again. (taking a break)

[nocturne wolf]

Try to time your attacks so they hit as early as possible, to minimise the time you’re vulnerable on the ground

It takes a bit of practice but very fun and effective once you can do it well

[ember kraken]

Sorry forgot to respond to this. I've soloed queen with magic. Which was basically cycling between the three staffs (protection, ice, fire).

Protection obviously to stay alive, ice for single target damage on queen, and fire for any time there's adds.

I had to run around a lot to regain mana, the best thing about playing magic is that I can keep my stamina free for running >_<, that was a lot of kiting and running, much more than melee. The fight is long and tedious no matter what. And I'd recommend taking breaks, just run out of the area to get a minute or two breather and regain health etc, wait out potion timers.

[nova cape]

just play it however you want. If you want to be able to parry more attacks, higher health helps, but you can also level blocking a bit if that gets you to where you want to be. It's easy to level blocking if you just get some weak enemies attacking you (and you have as much stamina/health/armor as you can have to avoid staggering/high damage). Play in whatever way is most fun for you; the game is very flexible to play styles.

[nocturne wolf]

Health helps for parrying and blocking attacks, not just parrying

[nova cape]

yeah good clarification, I meant them as interchangeable since they are for this purpose, but that may not be clear early on

[ember kraken]

Yeah I really do prefer 2 health 1 stamina food most of the time. I don't trust myself to dodge everything enough to stay alive with just 1 health food.

[nocturne wolf]

I use 2 health with a tower shield and normal shield, and 2 stamina with a buckler, 2-handed weapon or 1h no shield

[ember kraken]

Makes sense, I might try that next time. Was planning to try hard again, and probably run with 2 handers through the game (I really don't like shields on hard).

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve never played hard because my friends don’t want to. I occasionally use no shield for the movespeed.

[ember kraken]

Ah, basically the block/parry formula is based on damage blocked/parried. And since hard increases all damage, it just makes it harder to use it efficiently. Depends on what difficulty you use, but at some point I gave up trying to parry no star enemies in same biome. And just gave up on shields entirely at that point.

[split karma]

I played valheim for like 2 weeks with some friends a year ago, but I quit because they lost interest. Now I'm playing it again solo but I have a stupid tiktok attention span now because I have no one to play it with. Anyone know any mods that speed up the progression a bit?

[true tartan]

I would think that if you use the appropriate shield/buckler for the biome and parry everything, you should be fine

[true tartan]

not a mod, but if your main gripe is the speed of progression, I would recommend going into your world modifiers and increasing resource drops, or whatever it is, to like 2 or 3

either double or triple the drops from literally everything in the game

the amount of time to transport and process your resources will still be the same, but it would massively cut down how much time you have to spend actually collecting them

and I'm sure there's a mod somewhere to make smelters and so on faster

[vocal rivet]

Allowing the portalling of ores would probably help in this instance.

[true tartan]

yes, that too

but yeah, even with no mods at all, it's possible to make collecting and transporting of resources super easy, barely an inconvenience

your biggest time drain at that point would jsut be waiting for the smelter/charcoal kiln

[split karma]

Wow i didn't even know you could do that. Thank you. I'll give that a go when I get home

[true tartan]

can also turn on No Cost in the world modifiers, if you want to skip resources almost entirely

that'll let you build basically anything by having learned the recipe and having the appropriate crafting table nearby

[wintry quiver]

Yo does anyone know of a roleplay server I could join?

[hot bolt]

I've never really done fishing in this game, is it at all worth it?

(mid-late game)

[vocal rivet]

I'd say no, but then I've never enjoyed the mechanic so maybe not the right person to answer.

[hot bolt]

So far seems like you need high skill to catch nice fish but unless your fishing all the time you loose your skill faster than you gain it

[hard gale]

fishing is kinda just for fun, I think

I like collecting massive fish and hanging them on my walls tho

[crimson cradle]

first time seeing ashlands, docked right next to a monument of torment, got aggroed by a bonemaw serpent, life's good

[nova cape]

honestly could be worse, that's pretty typical

it is a very "d-day" experience

[livid zenith]

Except it’s more like d-days because the enemies never stop coming

[nova cape]

the first time is definitely the worst in how it feels, but yes, they are relentless

[crimson cradle]

i'm looking at the wiki page for these guys and ive only found 2 enemies in the ashlands that don't oneshot me

[vocal rivet]

They do once you've killed the spawners.

[livid zenith]

I played the update with some friends it really doesn’t feel like they stop, although they do come in waves with occasional breaks

[vocal rivet]

Which update? The nerfed PTB patch?

[livid zenith]

I think it was the original patch

[nova cape]

one tip I have for resource collecting and such in the ashlands is just running the coast - you can outrun most things, and what you can't outrun will quickly be distracted by dvergr settlements on the coast. Having those guys near you can be a big help. Don't attack them - 0 star ashlands rogues are equivalent to mistlands 2 star rogues. They will one shot you, especially if there's a starred one. Vineberries and volture eggs are pretty easy to find along the coast

[prime wren]

I'm stuck in a Gobbo tower waiting for two loxes to become tamed, how's y'alls viking days going?

[hard gale]

I been doing a bunch of building and sailing lately

[keen cliff]

finally killed the mountain hildr quest boss. procrastinating bringing her the chest and completing all the mini quests

considering boating over some wolves when i turn in the chest, and breeding some over there to run around the plains with

[low warren]

man gjalls are such a bummer. at least with trolls and other big things there's a reason to kill them. after i get what, 1 or 2 gjall sacs they're just a base destroying waste of my time

[prime wren]

One of them is tamed! Just gotta wait a bit longer for the second one

[prime wren]

spicy blimps

[prime wren]

Got the two loxes tamed and home to their new pen, and they already made a baby!

[open scaffold]

what do you use to tame the lox?

[timid sun]

Your charm

[open scaffold]

ahh you gotta rizz them up

[hard gale]

are there more two handed battleaxes like the crystal axe in the game? im not seeing one yet for the plains tier 😦

[timid sun]

Hittem with the Rizzberries

[open scaffold]

they eat the cloudberries or whatever from the plains then?

[timid sun]

Yeah

[open scaffold]

sweet thank you

[prime wren]

You tame em with cloudberries and patience, I think you can use Barley or Flax to tame them too? If not, I do know once they ARE tame you can feed them barley and flax to keep em fed and happy

[rocky gust]

I'm having a hard time looking for sealbreaker fragments 🥲

[grand tendon]

Hello, anybody knows if the stagbreaker still its usefull for finding silver?
I saw a video that saids that now if u hit silver it will appear a 0 dmg on the screen instead of a too hard
and also, if the snow biome its to close to the spawn does it still have silver?

[oak field]

anyone wanna start a new world together?

[fair cairn]

idk about the first thing but the second one depends on how high the mountain is
if it does not spawn obidian then it wont have silver cause obsidian spawns at lower elevations that silver

[grand tendon]

The obsidian tip is awesome, thanks my mountain did not had obsidian so im gonna try at another mountain 😄

[scarlet vector]

Can tamed animals use/ be pushed through portals?

[uncut scaffold]

just got there for the first time with my girlfriend and we beached on 2 spawners and god knows what else. there had to be 100. it was madness 10/10 best game i’ve ever played. will be hitting up BRS discord in morning 😂💀

[vital harness]

this game.

[vocal rivet]

It's such a great challenge, eh? Love it.

[near furnace]

so is the 10/10 serious or you being ironic? 😄

[ember kraken]

I just did this again in my last game couple of weeks back. Scrap Iron piles still give of "0" damage marks, and Silver+Obsidian still give of "too hard" damage marks.

And just to expand a bit on the answer to mountain biomes,if they're too close to spawn they're forced down under 80-100m or so, so no obsidian or silver. Iirc Obsidian can spawn about 20m lower than silver, so you need to find obsidian and then still be able to go up a bit.

[limpid ocean]

Update: Finally found Haldor

This mf was hidden

[uncut scaffold]

oh i’m dead serious this is the most fun and exhilarating game we’ve ever played together, if we had more time (and less kids 😉) we would probably just grind everything back ourselves and do it again 😂 but i think this one might be a job for the Body Recovery Squad

[limpid ocean]

hehe

Once i went into the black forest very early on a playthrough, got swarmed by greydwarf and lost all my gear. went back in and when i walked around a corner a brute was ready to oneshot me to oblivion. scared the crap out of me

[near furnace]

😄

just as intended

[modern rune]

Is it intended for range mobs to be able to use range attack while swimming and you can't do shit to stop them?

[manic timber]

guys next to my base theres a small patch of plains where one mosquito and 2 goblins spawn if i place a workbench there will they stop spawning ?

[modern rune]

Yes

But uhm good luck not getting killed

[vital harness]

Worlds really hyper affect enjoyment of the game.

In my experience, swamps are 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000km away from spawn.

But then when you try to trek further out, you die.

[ember kraken]

Swamps starts spawning a certain distance from spawn. But before plains starts spawning. So there's a certain "range" around the map where you can find swamp but not plains.

[limpid ocean]

git gud

[hallow totem]

i wanna start a valheim world cuz ive never actually gotten further then bronze but i get bored playing by myself

[limpid ocean]

For me the building is a large part that keeps me entertained. The building mechanics are just that good and versatile and they make me wanna spend hours chopping wood and mining stone

[limpid ocean]

and the progression and expansion really starts to pick up after you made it to bronze

[hallow totem]

yeah but id still like to start a new world with like another person

[scenic igloo]

any idea what kind of shield i need to block the golems?

[near furnace]

Silver and alot of health food

[scenic igloo]

what about parrying

[near furnace]

skill levels helps alot

[scenic igloo]

damn

any idea how to farm it?

[merry pebble]

i believe iron buckler might be better for parrying than silver, but i didnt really look into it that much 🙂

[scenic igloo]

all videos about the golem are 3 years old

and dont talk about new attacks

[vocal rivet]

Swamp spawns from 2000-6000m so that's a exaggeration of the highest order.

[scarlet light]

hello team

[manic timber]

what is the best build for bonemass ?

[merry pebble]

that is 47 times the diameter of the whole map 😄

[merry pebble]

depends on your playstyle, but best weapon for him is a mace

[manic timber]

what about the armour im thinking full iron with a root head for the poison resistance ?

[ember kraken]

I'd say the best is maxed out iron mace, iron armour, and a poison resist potion (stronger than root helm)

Edit: I'd also say an iron sledge for taking out the adds, but that's more optional.

[merry pebble]

the mead is better, if you play heavy armor then full iron + poison resistance mead

[manic timber]

alr

is there a point in upgrading the iron armour ?

[ember kraken]

It increases durability and each upgrade gives +2 armour. But most people would rather not farm that much Iron (understandable)

[merry pebble]

yes, it will offer more protection and durability

[manic timber]

alr ty

[scenic igloo]

you could do it naked with just a mace

i legit rolled hit 6 times

when he does poison vomit i run away

then back to rolling again

[buoyant ether]

made my first longhouse 😎

[near furnace]

yes

[manic timber]

is the iron battle axe worth making or neccsary i wont use it as a weapon i just will use it to chop trees ?

[nocturne wolf]

The regular iron axe is better for chopping trees
But you don’t need an iron axe to progress

[manic timber]

is it worth getting or will i be able to make a better one soon ?

[nocturne wolf]

Mountains doesn’t have a regular axe so the next regular axe after iron is the black metal axe (5th biome)

[manic timber]

alr imma make one then since it might be a whie till i get the black metel one

[nocturne wolf]

It’s best to use iron for other things first because unlike bronze, iron axe can’t chop anything new

[manic timber]

alr

what level iron mace would you say is good for bonemass ?

[nocturne wolf]

1 is good enough but you might need to repair it mid-fight. 2 or 3 would be better but 4 is too expensive

[manic timber]

should i use any arrows or a bow ?

[nocturne wolf]

No, he is resistant to slash and very resistant to pierce, so blunt is 3x better than slash and 6x better than pierce against him

[manic timber]

alr and is sasuges , minced meat sauce and queens jam good for the fight ?

[nocturne wolf]

You should only be using food made with swamp materials. You could hunt a serpent to access the best health food available to you right now.

I’d use serpent stew, muckshake and either turnip stew or serpent meat.

[manic timber]

alr ty

[limpid ocean]

i just did bonemass with a mace, shiieldd to parry, a poison resitance pot, sausage, turnip stew and boar jerky as foods and it was ez clappenings

highly recommend

[nocturne wolf]

Never parry bosses because they can’t be staggered, blocking and rolling is better against them

[limpid ocean]

blocking as in right clicking to shield?

doesnt rolling also take a lot of stamina?

[nocturne wolf]

Blocking as in using a shield/weapon but not timing a parry, or using a tower shield

[nocturne wolf]

It takes less than parrying

[limpid ocean]

ahh then i meant just blocking

idk if thats his attack pattern normally but if i parry a hit i can get 6 swings with my mace in there

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying doesn’t do anything to bosses

[limpid ocean]

i did not notice this, will be using this information in other (boss)fights!

mustve been my indomitable spirit the way this fight took 1 second hehe

Also, making a surtling farm in swamp is so much better than manually mining 20 stacks of wood to smelt 2 ingots xD

[merry pebble]

2 stacks of wood will smelt you 50 ingots 😉

[limpid ocean]

Yes but why farm said wood when you can watch surtlings perish in the water for free coal 😉

[fair cairn]

dont forget the cores

[hazy wadi]

i feel this in my bones. i've never hd this much trouble as i am right now with moder. It's not even the boss...it's the stone golem and wolves and drakes and the very bad spawn location i got her in this time

[manic timber]

what shield shoulkd i use for bonemass then ?

[merry pebble]

round or buckler, those will come in handy also in mountains

[manic timber]

alr

[nocturne wolf]

Iron buckler, iron shield or serpent scale shield. Don't make the iron tower shield because the scale shield is better.

The normal shield is better than the buckler unless you have a 2 stamina diet because you'll want normal blocking for the large groups of wolves you can find in mountains

[minor mica]

why are chests so epensiveee

just wasted 120 wood on 12 chests and its not even half of the room

[nocturne wolf]

Chests aren't expensive, your storage room is very big

[minor mica]

its not that big

some early game storage

[nocturne wolf]

You should have access to bigger chests by the time you need 12

[minor mica]

hmm

when is that

[nocturne wolf]

The third biome (and again in the fifth)

[minor mica]

is that too big?

[nocturne wolf]

What do you even have to fill that many chests with so early on?

It's not too big for now, you just dont need to fill it yet

[minor mica]

i dont need to

alr ill place 2 on each segment

@frigid gust

[prime wren]

Another Lox baby!

I've done all this before... I'm not new to Loxes. But I can't help getting excited... They're so cute and my favorite animal in all of Valheim... And also delicious

[nocturne wolf]

Your favourite isn't necks?

[prime wren]

LOL

No... They're uhhh, not my favorite unfortunately. They're kinda cute though.

[nocturne pasture]

okay, the demolisher is like a gamechanger wtf what a weapon in such a game. but i like it

[frigid gust]

The downside is that it's slow as molasses, it's hard to use in basic combat. But when it hits, it HITS

[nocturne pasture]

well the volume of effect is so big that you are literally invincible against enemies that are staggerable

I mean you regen enough and fast enough Stamina to do the second hit before they can attack you again.

at least it felt like it

[true tartan]

what about wolf cubs?

no love for the puppers?

[prime wren]

Ime they're such a pain to tame and get to a reasonable base since we never have bases in the mountains. They're cute sure but

Nothing is as cute as Loxes to me <3

[true tartan]

personally, I view loxes as too destructive, even after taming, to do anything other than breed them for food, and even then special care needs to be taken so that the breeding pair never gets spooked and destroys the everthing in the surrounding area

[prime wren]

I don't have that difficulty with Stone lox pens, and we even have one free ranging in our barley field, it's just not a problem for us.

We tame them first then put them in the pens, trying to tame them in the pens is hell.

Very good guard animals <3

[mortal carbon]

#saveye

[prime wren]

But I totally get having an animal preference, and Loxes are destructive.

[true tartan]

there's also the small detail that wild lox are stupidly common out in the Plains, and are very easy to lure one at a time by using a bow

[prime wren]

Don't tame Lox give you more meat?

[true tartan]

nope

[merry pebble]

nope, they shouldnt

[prime wren]

Ahhhhh, I see.

[true tartan]

the only way they give more meat is if they have one or two stars

[prime wren]

I feel like they should since, you're taming them and keeping them fat and fed. #VintageStoryMoment

[merry pebble]

and those are not naturally spawning so you cant get them without commands

[prime wren]

But yeah, that's fair. I'm more interested in them for riding, they're fun. And good guards, and just nice to have around, brings life to the kingdom kinda thing

[true tartan]

i could see taming some to keep around the far outer edges of a base in the plains, assuming there's a strong stone wall surrounding the base to keep them from destroying things inside when they inevitably get spooked

but the problem is that they can't breed to sustain their numbers that way

[prime wren]

lol, nah. The main castle has a stone wall protecting it but we just let the loxes roam our wooden village, a few stake walls and fences are fine, and if they destroy a couple we just rebuild em

I do have the server configured a bit more casually though so

[true tartan]

best bet for free base defense is a meadows base with 1-2 star wolves roaming outside the walls

[prime wren]

We don't get like, raids all the time and stuff like that, so it's easier for us to be more casual with our loxes.

What about all the stuff that spawns in Meadows after defeating bosses? Can Wolves handle a few fulings?

[merry pebble]

oh yes if you have enough 😄

[true tartan]

with high enough numbers, wolves can kill anything

[merry pebble]

especially starred ones

[true tartan]

and in the meadows, the wolves will breed entirely on their own by killing boars, deer, and necks

[distant field]

I still don’t understand how to achieve this. What stops them from wandering off?

[merry pebble]

simply that the further areas are not usually loaded

[true tartan]

nothing, but they generally stay in the area you told them to when not chasing something, and they constantly breed more wolves, expanding the area they control

[prime wren]

That's fair, good to know. But you will never be able to convince me to not love Loxes as much as I do. They're just too damn cute and loveable.

[true tartan]

so long as you don't do something stupid like putting sharp stakes around the outside of your base, they should breed faster than they can be killed by hostile mobs

[prime wren]

Well, we have a pen and free roaming ones

So we breed lots in the pen, then can let more out if we don't need more meat

[distant field]

“…the area you told them to…” - told them how?

[prime wren]

I believe they just mean where you put them

[true tartan]

wolves are kinda unique among tamed creatures, because they can be told to either follow or wait by petting them

if you have them follow you somewhere, and then pet them, they will stay in that general area

[prime wren]

well, I'll have to find a good way to get tamed wolves in our meadows base. They don't kill tamed boars or hens right?

[true tartan]

they don't attack tamed creatures, only wild

[distant field]

when ‘told’ to ‘wait’ they stall wander, in my experience.

[prime wren]

we gotta get a couple more tamed boards in our boar pen before we bring wolves in, they keep dying...

[true tartan]

yes, they do wander

but not far

[merry pebble]

yep, but only to certain distance from the place you tell them to stay

[distant field]

Hmm

That doesn’t align with what I’ve seen

[true tartan]

it's not like a minecraft wolf where they sit in the exact spot and never move until something aggros them

if something aggros them, they will run to chase it, but otherwise they will stay within a certain distance of either the place they first spawned, or where you last told them to wait

[distant field]

We took a few wolves out with us once. Some of them had babies, Those just wandered off. Others were told to wait. They wandered off too.

[prime wren]

Ime many things in this game can be a bit finicky... And some work well for some vikings while not working well for other vikings.

[merry pebble]

iirc when they agrro to something then the place they lose the agrro becomes the new center point of the "wander circle"

[distant field]

I was finding random tame wolves for weeks afterwards. Usually chasing deer up a mountain.

[prime wren]

LOL they were really hungry

[merry pebble]

yeah, they disregard the stay command if agrroed

[manic timber]

can you use multiple meads at the same time ?

[merry pebble]

yep

[prime wren]

As long as they're different types, yes

[distant field]

So, you tell them to wait by your base, to guard it, and then one neck or grayling comes wandering by and they’re off.

[merry pebble]

they are off to the place they killed it or lost agrro for it, that becomes their new place there they are commanded to stay, but if you have many of them around your base its really not an issue

[rapid garden]

If I build walls around my base, mobs will still spawn inside and ruin my buildings. What can be done to mitigate this issue? I have tried workbenches already.

[frigid gust]

If the coverage isn't complete then things can still spawn in the gaps

[merry pebble]

spawnproofing with workbebches, campfires and other base items, if they still spawn you missed a spot 🙂

[frigid gust]

Workbenches work. I've spawn-blocked entire islands.

[rapid garden]

Splendid, will build Workbench monuments to butify my base in a more tight manner.

[distant field]

Make sure you have enough work benches to cover the area - you can check by walking around with your hammer equipped and set to some build piece.

[frigid gust]

Also note that enemies wandering by will attack workbenches... after you're sure of your coverage you can replace them with campfires, and even if the campfire goes out they will prevent spawns in the same radius as a workbench but enemies don't attack them on sight 😉

[rapid garden]

I appreciate it everyone, thank you.

[true tartan]

just about any light source you can build counts to prevent mob spawning, so a good option is to just put lighting around on the inside of your wall and around the base

not only makes it easier to see if you're doing stuff at night, but it keeps random necks and greylings from appearing out of nowhere and destroying your stuff

[clever saffron]

Is the mistlands mage armor worth making

[shy marlin]

if you want to play the mage playstyle yes

(which is by far the strongest archetype in valheim)

[frigid gust]

It's a glass-cannon type build. I like the armor, but I have found that I actually mix and match with it for the most benefit.

[shy marlin]

But it's really not a glass cannon type build

[distant field]

Crystal cannon, surely.

[frigid gust]

Ehh... with the protection staff and such you can take a hit or two, but it's still very much around ranged and battlefield control. If you get caught in a corner you go down quickly.

[manic timber]

is there a silver chestplate ?

[frigid gust]

Yeah, the wolf armor set is the silver set.

Every armor has a full set for it, there are no partial sets (other than the rags you start with, which have no helmet)

[true tartan]

just ignore the slight confusion from the silver tier armor having a Wolf Chest, Wolf Leggings, and a Drake Helmet

[south bridge]

Has the Deep North been talked about by the developers at all yet?

[azure yacht]

#news

[south bridge]

appreciated

[shy marlin]

If you get caught in a corner on any build you go down quickly what's your point

[robust delta]

what if ur in a corner but don't get caught because sneak 100 😎

[willow sleet]

Anyone else feel like the Ashlands are an extreme difficulty spike? I've been getting my ash handed to me more in the last 20 hours than the past 600 total

Then again I am solo

[robust delta]

"my ash handed" 🤣
yea. they're a bit of a spike

mostly afraid of bonemaws so haven't sailed yet in solo world but in a friend's world we all died and had to make another drakkar to get back. we were fighting day and night and eventually broke a nearby spawner
never struggled so hard to make a foothold before

[willow sleet]

No kidding, I've been solo for around 800 of my almost 1000 hours. Establishing a foothold in the Ashlands was almost impossible.

[robust delta]

were u melee or mage?

[willow sleet]

Tbh I joined this server hoping I could meet more people to play with

[willow sleet]

Been melee, but I've basically swapped to mage atm

[robust delta]

same lol. mage feels slightly meh in ashy but i haven't unlocked many staves or made the ashlands mage armor yet

[willow sleet]

I made the staves, but didn't use em till Ashlands

[robust delta]

the mobility and semi control you can give helps stand ur ground for a bit. protection staff my beloved

[willow sleet]

I just love summoning stuff to do the work for me, while raining the fracturing staff cluster bombs from a distance.

I want the new summoning staff so damn baaaaad

[robust delta]

i tried using fracturing staff but haven't made it click with me yet

i also mostly summon stuff

[willow sleet]

Direct hits are the way to go, I got the trajectory memorized and I love it

[robust delta]

in my friend's world we're so close to getting the new improvement to the galdr table. like one feather short

[robust delta]

it does feel nice, though the camera dhake is crazy

[willow sleet]

I genuinely had to turn it off lmfao

[robust delta]

everyone got mad when i was spamming it on the morgen lol

[willow sleet]

Lol, I tend to focus it with the Frost Staff

[robust delta]

yeah that's what normally did but it was a new toy then

[south bridge]

i felt a similiar way but one stav in particular redeemed magic in ashlands for me

[robust delta]

someday i'll get it

[willow sleet]

I got the wild staff, but I really want the troll one

[robust delta]

the farm situation is starting to get better since there's 4 of us now, but we're soon to try raiding a charred fortress

[robust delta]

haven't heard of the wild one, but someone did lead me on with the trollstav. my mates don't know of it so i hope i get my hands on a bloodstone first heh

[willow sleet]

I won't spoil the surprise

[robust delta]

as far as i know dead raiser and trollstav are the only summoning weapons

i need to brawl with my fear of the serpents though. the ashlands awaits on my world. maybe also bring a stonecutter

[fair cairn]

serpents arent that bad tbh

maybe the ashlands sea noodles (im not sure)

[fluid iron]

eeewsgod damnare the mistlands un fun

[south bridge]

staff of fracturing took me a minute to understand, at first I was wondering if it was any different from the staff of embers but i finally figured it out (At least I think). Spoiler in case you want to figure it out yourself. ||Staff of fracturing's main power is applying burn, the more times you hit an enemy with the staff the more damage each fire tick does. ||

[willow sleet]

I went in blind to the Ashlands, got some Subnautica PTSD

[fair cairn]

i wish i could play subnautica for the first time again

[robust delta]

yeah that's what i assumed, tho most resist fire so it's a bit futile lol

[willow sleet]

||Don't forget the cluster effect, direct hits do WAAAAAY more damage||

[robust delta]

would be fun for rematching the queen

[fair cairn]

especially that first time i entered the dunes that warning absolutely terrified me

[willow sleet]

Saaaame

[fluid iron]

Any tips for finding infested mines in the mist? Feels like I'm just wondering empty plains

[robust delta]

that's the fun part

[willow sleet]

Uh you see...

I can't rember

[robust delta]

staff of (r)ember

[crimson cradle]

I've found there's almost always one mine per mistlands, unless it's one of the smaller ones

[robust delta]

about the same as finding anything else. hope they find you lol.
just roam around and hope u either come across a long stairway or see the blue lights to a ruined dverger tower

[willow sleet]

Welp that was fun, maybe we could all play sometime. I'm off to go take my 21 hour nap

[robust delta]

interesting nap

[robust delta]

aw great. i just reminded myself that i need more black cores 😮‍💨

[sharp raptor]

Any time you get attacked by 3-4 seekers at a time, explore the area around you because they may have aggroed from a mine.

[rocky gust]

Best weapons for ashlands?

[pliant hatch]

Blunt will always work well over there, as lots of your enemies are undead.
Magic works well too. Especially the staff giving you the roots combined with your "bubble" works well.

[rocky gust]

Roots?

[robust delta]

mistwalker is nice

[pliant hatch]

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

That one.

[nocturne wolf]

You can’t make that until you’ve already been in ashlands though

[final bloom]

Boy, just reached AshLands with my friend and omg, what the hell is that place. Managed to place a portal on top of a rock, went in and didnt comeback yet

We took the material to make a Shield Generator, and stuff to buid with Black Marble. Is that enoug?

[robust delta]

u can build with the stones found on the ashlands as an alternative too. need a stone cutter though

[final bloom]

Yeah, luckly I took the materials for a Stone Cutter in the boat

I just need to go back, run to the boat and build a base

[robust delta]

good luck

[rocky gust]

Uhhh stuck in the storm

[summer breach]

Heya all, I am looking for a certain mod and wonder if anyone knows > There was a mod that allowed you to reduce/disable the multiplayer mob scaling so that when playing with 5 people, the mobs wouldnt suddenly have like 4x the HP.
Overall I personally greatly dislike this HP scaling and would rather have a scaling through more mobs. I.e. 4x as many mobs vs 4x as much HP.
Does anyone know the name, or any good new mod that does this? thx

[pliant hatch]

You might consider asking that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[summer breach]

ah nice thx, didnt scroll all the way down past the voice channels

[pliant hatch]

Understandable, as I won't expect text channels to be found under the voice channels either.
Hope you got the luck to find someone over there to help you.

[keen cliff]

okay, this is funny. i spent a lot of time preparing my base for eventual seeker raids, and only now notice it won't happen in Meadows anyways...

well, the changes have been great against the goblin bros raid, at least

[manic timber]

what armour is better fenrir or wolf ?

[nocturne wolf]

Both are good for different situations & playstyles
I've never made fenris armor because you either need to get very lucky or go through a ton of frost caves for the fenris hair, wolf armor is a lot easier to obtain.

[keen cliff]

i like armor points too much to use Fenris armor. i don't trust myself to not get hit.

[manic timber]

alr what about the flesh rippers are they worth crafting ?

[nocturne wolf]

If your fist skill is already high, yes. Otherwise it's best to stick with what your character is good at

[manic timber]

alr also what weapon do i use for moldur ?

[nocturne wolf]

Any silver melee weapon except the frostner (She's immune to frost damage) and a bow (finewood or better) with obsidian arrows

[manic timber]

dam all i have is frostner which one do i make then ?

[nocturne wolf]

The spear is cheapest

[manic timber]

i have alot of silver which one is the best

[nocturne wolf]

The spear will be good, even an iron weapon is good enough for her.

[manic timber]

alr i will also use the dragur bow

also what about food for the modler

[keen cliff]

just make the best food you can for the biome? i'm assuming since you're exploring mountains, you'll find onions and can make wolf skewers. just bring our best food

[manic timber]

is serpent stew still good in mountains ?

[true tartan]

yes

Serpent Stew is still the best health food even in Plains

[vernal cobalt]

what's the mage weapon setup for late ashlands?

[true tartan]

Serpent Stew, Wolf Skewers, Onion Soup, assuming you want to favor health over stamina

[manic timber]

alr

[vernal cobalt]

i tried every one of them but ashlands-tier mage staffs (staves?) all feel pretty meh

[rocky gust]

How do I land on ashlands easily 🥲

[nocturne wolf]

Serpent meat is better than wolf skewer

Eat the stew and meat if you want 2 health, and if you want 2 stamina only eat the stew

[manic timber]

👍

[vocal rivet]

You don't. It's hard.

[lone wren]

I got one shotted by bone serpent while trying to find mistlands

[vocal rivet]

How are you anywhere near Ashlands looking for Mistlands?

[feral parrot]

Quick question. Do fires have a set range for warmth/resting bonus? Would the stone firepit be better than the little wooden one to spread out over my home?

[sharp bluff]

stone gives 1 more comfort, use that

[true tartan]

the warmth radius is about the same, as far as I know, but the stone hearth gives more comfort, meaning a longer Rested bonus, and trust me, you want Rested to be active as often as possible

[livid widget]

Have they nerfed Ashlands yet?

[nocturne wolf]

The public test has reduced spawn rates for some enemies

[robust delta]

are there starred gjalls?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, at night

[robust delta]

dear god

[livid widget]

Fire pots trivialize the gjalls

They are annoying but manageable

[vocal rivet]

If only there was a way to check.

[livid widget]

Most useless guy ever

Gonna block you finally. You add literally 0 value here.

[vocal rivet]

#valheim-patchnotes and #news is right there.

[sharp bluff]

took you long enough xd

[keen cliff]

i wonder how many Oak tree models there are. I planted one in a small "park" section of my base, and don't like how one of the tree limbs pokes almost into a house. anyone have any idea? i hear there's also different sizes that can grow at random.

[livid widget]

I just assumed they are all the same. Maybe incorrect assumption.

[keen cliff]

yeah, i definitely see some variation

took forever to get some acorns though. drop rate is pretty low

[livid widget]

Same thing happened to me. Branch punched through my portal building wall

[keen cliff]

in my base it's just slightly intruding on a balcony, so i'm probably just going to put up with it

[hidden gorge]

IRL oaks don't mess around either

[livid widget]

I know! Strong trees. Irl you could just cut the offending branch at least

[true tartan]

see, this is why I don't have trees inside the walls of my bases

[keen cliff]

but they are pretty 🙂 i have plenty of space. I planted it in the middle of some raspberry bushes. It really livens up the place

[fair cairn]

DEFORESTATION is the only way to play

[hidden gorge]

that sounds like something someone who leaves their stumps would say

[fair cairn]

howd you know?!

[hidden gorge]

when you meet enough degenerates, you start to pick up on patterns

[fair cairn]

im offended

[grand ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-letterkenny-gif-16857255368297649542

[fair cairn]

anyways i do chop up the stumps but only when i try to make a nice big clearing

[hidden gorge]

lol, feeling the guilt, eh?

like people not returning shopping carts to the return -- you know its the right thing... 😛

[fair cairn]

i infact despise those people but since this is a game well i dont have much to feel guilty about

[sinful fulcrum]

do troll from troll caves respawn?

[fair cairn]

they do not

[buoyant ether]

#building-ideas message plz guide me o interior designers

[manic timber]

a stone golem is interupting my moder fight is there any way to get ridf of it mid fight

[buoyant ether]

and is there a way to protect outside stairs from rain?

dumb that they take dmg if they connected to the building

it cant be that one longhouse causes me lag ? when my fps can go up to 144

[vocal rivet]

Why would rain damage just stop if something was connected to it?

[fair cairn]

the rain domage stops 50% at which point the stairs have a nice rustic touch tot hem

[buoyant ether]

it looks rotten 😭 but ok ok atleast it wont break

[buoyant ether]

also. bedroom design ideas ? anyone ?

[fair cairn]

you can always put a roof over the stairs ont he outside

[buoyant ether]

why do i feel like i should have more upgrades for my workbench now that im entering swamp

[jagged kite]

Hello 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

You should have 3 workbench improvements before swamp

[buoyant ether]

i do yeah

srsly no bedroom build tips ? 😭 plzzzz

[vocal rivet]

#building-tips might have some.

[robust delta]

omg

think i just got a rare skelett name

"Your best pal" that's funny

[buoyant ether]

goddamn... i made a second floor but now the fire is too far... even tho technically the beds closer

[hidden gorge]

pretty sure you can rename skeletons, no?

[buoyant ether]

i thought i'd make like a room but it looks kinda off in the longhouse ?

[robust delta]

you can

though skelett's usually have some norse name or something in relation to valheim i believe. i didn't rename any that time

[nocturne wolf]

I had your best pal once

[sage condor]

Just sailed 3.5 hours with a boat full of silver and blackmetal

[buoyant ether]

im so happy with this build but still so unsatisfied 😭

[lyric venture]

hey guys, looking for someone to play casual/build

[hazy wadi]

friends, i could use some advice. I am just on tilt vs. Moder. For reference, I've beaten Fader on another character and have like 1k hours in the game. I have a moder spawn that is awful...the mountain is very narrow, and there are spawn points for golems in the fight zone as well as two nearby dragon nests, so there are wolves, drakes, and golems constantly third-partying me and killing me. I've crafted a Draugr Fang and made stacks of poison arrows which i'm using on her, bringing in lots of good food, spammed campfires to try to shut down spawns etc., but i cannot get past this boss this go round for some reason. Is there something obvious i should be doing?

[nocturne wolf]

All golem spawn points are one-time, all other golems spawn randomly.

[hazy wadi]

well, i've killed three so idk

[fast nexus]

no offense but do the devs of this game know the difference between hard and mentally disabled?

wtf is ashlands bro, i try to farm 1 flametal and legit 30 enemies spawn from nowhere that i cant do anything about besides just run away

[hazy wadi]

Honestly it's easier to just raid the forts for flametal

[fast nexus]

ye likw wtf

[buoyant ether]

uhm any idea... the map i was on, which is a fresh one, im having fps drops but the an older map in which im further and i have a village build and it has 0 lag ?

more buildings, smoother fps.... makes no sense

[fast nexus]

very degenerate style of gameplay, its not even about being good but its about just spamming portals every 2 meters you travel which is so super cringe

[buoyant ether]

more of the map discovered etc

[buoyant ether]

yeah ashlands suck

[fast nexus]

like ongod bro

[nocturne wolf]

The public test version has reduced spawn rates for some ashlands enemies

[buoyant ether]

like it feels esp solo ur playing a "try not get gangbanged simulator"

[nocturne wolf]

Also because many ashlands enemies have friendly fire, dealing with large groups is much easier than it is in other biomes

[fast nexus]

idk why is that on public test and not out yet rn

[nocturne wolf]

You can enter the testing if you want to

[buoyant ether]

ashlands feels like its meant for multiple people AND being in combat 24/7

[fast nexus]

bro "much easier" hell no, other biomes spawn like 2-5 enemies TOPS ashlands spawns a valkyrie 2 of them if you just stand on flametal, asksvin which legit chunk half of ur hp, and 5 morgens and about 10 normal enemies

[buoyant ether]

and from all sides too

man i rly want a run where i keep focus on all biomes until im mistlands

last 3 runs i just fuck around until i start a fresh one

[fast nexus]

ye and because of that and the games garbage optimization the game starts to lag asf

i love how its also straight up unplayable unless u have bonemass

its like those mobile games that only allow you to play if you have enough lives

[buoyant ether]

idk how it was a good idea in a badly optmized game to put a million things particelin and attacking at u at the same time

[nocturne wolf]

Bonemass power only helps if you can’t block or dodge

[fast nexus]

bro its called stamina, if there are too many enemies unless youre a mage you literally cant do anything about it

[nocturne wolf]

What food are you eating? I’ve been fine in ashlands melee before any of the post-release nerfs.

[fast nexus]

and i like how the entire game is pretty much chill all the time and randomly devcides to implement god damn dark souls delay attack as if valheim is supposed to be a souls like game

[fast nexus]

literally straight up the best food

[nocturne wolf]

I agree that the delay attacks don’t belong in valheim but if you try to play a little less aggressively against the warriors it’s not a big issue.

[keen cliff]

man there should e another channel: #1202313396356128808-venting

where people can complain, when they don't really want any suggestions or help

[fast nexus]

bro i just legit 20 minutes ago right before i went to this chat with my friend tried to farm flametal, 2 black valkyries attacked us, 2 1 star asksvins, 1 2 star morgen, 1 1 star morgen, 2 normal morgens, 3 normal asksvins, and literally not even kidding about 10 of the ashlands versions of greydwarf i forgot their name

like straight up what in the actual f am i supposed to do in this case scenario

[fast nexus]

oh and some more warriors

[buoyant ether]

ignoring is an option as well, let the man vent

[keen cliff]

you can ignore my commentary also 🙂

[robust delta]

great chat 😏

[buoyant ether]

kinda hot

[robust delta]

kinda.. ashy 😰

[buoyant ether]

got me feelin like a greydwarf

[vestal prism]

yall just trash at the game if u cant handle the enemies in ashlands, get better Vikings!

[buoyant ether]

https://tenor.com/view/gitgud-thepruld-git-gud-dark-gif-8126281

[fast nexus]

lmfao u moron, there is a difference between hard and just bad balancing from devs

souls like is good example of hard, valheim isnt "hard" valheim is just straight up bs

[nocturne wolf]

There is a difference, and ashlands is hard

[buoyant ether]

yeah the issue with ashlands is that it doesnt fit the games pacing up until that point, i dont mind difficulty, just how its achieved is the issue

[fast nexus]

ashlands isnt hard no, that isnt hard, that is actual bs that is pretty much impossible at some points

[fast nexus]

try playing in public servers where the spawn rates are practically doubled, cause i cant do much

[buoyant ether]

bruh im not arguing with u 💀 im agreeing with ashlands issues

[fast nexus]

ye

[buoyant ether]

but i guess the devs wanted a change of pace

[fast nexus]

but im just trying to say thats not the way to properly balance something. and these devs have no idea how to balance but its understandable considering this game was generally normal up until this point

[buoyant ether]

idk im hoping the deep north would be more like mistlands mob density etc

[fast nexus]

devs just wanted people to build mage and brainlessly grind for 1 week to reach lvl 100

like why am i forced to go mage

[elder cave]

aanyone wanna try joining my dedicated server to test if it works

[buoyant ether]

and well tbf, valheim feels like it defo took some inspiration from the souls formula

[robust delta]

yea does

[fast nexus]

idk why lmao, cause its totally 2 completely different genres, like imagine playing elden ring and fighting 2 malenias at the same time while having to mine resources

[nocturne wolf]

You aren’t forced to do anything

[fast nexus]

i pretty much am when melee is down right impossible to use without bonemass in public servers

[keen cliff]

playing on a public server sounds horrible

[nocturne wolf]

What makes it different on a public server?

[fast nexus]

i mean like with my friend*

[fast nexus]

mobs spawn much much more

[buoyant ether]

a wild comparison 💀

[hazy wadi]

i played on a server with a friend and we have dyrnwyn and a fader head--i think the mob spawns are the same

[buoyant ether]

and i wasnt talking ashlands specifically, i meant overall

[fast nexus]

what are u trying to say here

[hazy wadi]

i don't think the issue is the spawn rate so much as the difficulty in maintaining an accessible beachhead

i don't think the mobs spawn more with a server

[buoyant ether]

the spawn rate felt like an issue on solo as well

[hazy wadi]

having to rebuild a new boat feels really punishing

[fast nexus]

would defo say the spawn rate consindering the enemies attack at the same time anyway so its straight up impossible to parry all of them ,and killing all of them 1 by 1 would literally take me so much time that new mobs would already spawn

[elder cave]

the only problem with melee on a server is if there is bad de sync

[buoyant ether]

add the lag to that and bawau

[hazy wadi]

the mage abilities become really key in ashlands

[fast nexus]

ye like why, why not just make melee playable, i really dont like a mage playstyle

[nocturne wolf]

Melee is playable, I did it in ashlands

[fast nexus]

also nvm they become stronger

[fast nexus]

solo is infinitely easier man

[nocturne wolf]

4% more damage and 30% more health per nearby player isnt a significant difference, especially if all players are helping in the fight.

[fast nexus]

also tell me how many portals u had to build, like 60? i legit built like 10 across the entire 6 previous biomes

[buoyant ether]

and doesnt that scaling come from players present

[nocturne wolf]

Only players nearby, not everyone logged in

[buoyant ether]

yeah exactly

[fast nexus]

in ashlands i just have to place it every 5 meters

either way ashlands is hot trash and needs balance changes

[dim crane]

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-bees-trollface-troll-bee-gif-20572001

[nocturne wolf]

Why would I need 60?

[buoyant ether]

im not sure how the portals help in managing a huge flock of mobs

[fast nexus]

for each fort and each flametal pile cause

[fast nexus]

so i can just escape to base easly? wdym man

[molten depot]

hello new players can someone teach how to play hehe

[fast nexus]

just enjoy until you reach ashlands, then quit

[nocturne wolf]

Go to #valheim-help because people are venting here

[molten depot]

can i join people world ?

[buoyant ether]

just run around and figure shit out 😎

[hazy wadi]

here's what i learned in ashlands:

• don't run unless it's really time to run
• if it's time to run, running to your portal is maybe a bad idea
• stay near a landmark when fighting so you can not keep dragging new mobs in
• keep healing mead on you
• Eikthyr is really clutch all the time
• Taking a fortress makes everything much easier

[dim crane]

if you are friends with the player or join a random non-passworded world, yes

[distant field]

Per player.

[buoyant ether]

i legit forgot throughout my 200+ hrs that u can join random worlds 💀

[nocturne wolf]

What do you mean? The wiki states that it’s only affected by players within 100 meters.

[dim crane]

if it's modded you will have to install all the mods the host has unless some are client side, although i haven't seen client side valheim mods

[distant field]

I mean it's 4% and 30% per player above 1 (up to 5, iirc) within 100m.

[nocturne wolf]

There isn’t a cap, every extra player increases it

[distant field]

perhaps, but the point is that the increases are per player within the 100m radius

[timid sun]

I think the wiki says otherwise

[distant field]

That's what I thought, but decided not to argue a moot point.

[elder cave]

aanyone wanna try joining my dedicated server to test if it works

[robust delta]

update: found a conclusion. if the fire dot was applied on stagger the enhanced dot persists till it runs out. if an enemy was staggered during fire dot it's still the same. assume it's the same for poison too

[slender badger]

Hello! Does anyone know if it's possible to get/trade Odin Cape and Odin Hood from other player? I like rare stuff but I was late to Valheim.

[nocturne wolf]

DLC items can only be equipped if you own the dlc so you can’t use them.

[slender badger]

Oof rip. Do you know if it's possible to put them on armour stand for non-DLC player?

[nocturne wolf]

It’s probably possible, yes. I think you can spawn them with commands if nobody is able to give them to you.

[slender badger]

Thanks you, I will try to get the real stuff from someone.

[formal ore]

when i complain and denied that i complained. lol

[distant field]

Is it still possible to purchase the DLC that enables them?

[nocturne wolf]

It’s never been purchasable, it was given to beta players

[distant field]

ah! nice.

[smoky steppe]

is the bronze axe better than the sword? or is it only stronger because at this point my axe level is way higher than swords

and the ategier thing seems way better too, other than not being able to sheild

[livid zenith]

Axes deal more damage but attack slower, atgeirs deal more damage cost a lot of stamina to use effectively

[crimson cradle]

right when we were bout to beat a one star morgen, there comes a fallen valkyrie... fml

we had to flee to the portal, so hopefully we won't get spawn camped once we're ready

bonemass also ran out right when the valkyrie spawned

i hate charred marksmans

my barrier can withstand a few arrows, but theyre too accurate

especially with their arrow rain thing

[smoky steppe]

ig at that point its up to personal preference

swords probably hit more afrer parries, and with ategeir you cant sheild

[livid zenith]

Yes it does, this game is balanced pretty well so you can play whatever you find the most fun

[smoky steppe]

should i work around weaknesses?

like bring an ategire and sword to hit more weakness, and a mase as well

[livid zenith]

I usually bring a mace and axe into swamp because most things there are neutral or weak to blunt, the only exception being abominations which take the most damage from slash

Many swamp enemies resist pierce, but the main enemy there is the draugr and the bronze atgeir can stagger them in one secondary attack

The bronze axe should be made anyways because you need it for birch and ancient trees

[nova cape]

I've essentially soloed the ashlands 3 times (2nd and 3rd times were just re-acquiring ashlands gear starting with mistlands gear), played some to help others in a group of 3 as well... I have never encountered a mob like this.

If you have 2 valkyries, generally you should have killed one before the 2nd was in range. They don't just hang out near each other generally speaking.

Same for morgens - if you kite them and collect some, sure. But otherwise more than 2 is extremely rare. As-is, I've killed a ton of morgens and have only seen 1 star, and 0 2 stars.

If you're being honest, this is extraordinarily rare and should be nearly impossible to have happen to you. If you're doing mining, you should make sure the area is extremely clear within a large radius, and it's best to go for deposits that are very close to land (which you cleared).

Also, as far as I'm aware, spawn rate doesn't change in multiplayer (but enemies have more health and do a bit more damage to you).

[livid zenith]

I played Ashlands melee running 3 Ashlands health food and no stamina meads, stamina is fine if you manage it right

[willow sleet]

The Ashlands is total pain

And I kinda dig it

[livid zenith]

Ashlands is my favorite biome in the game

[robust delta]

ashlands seems pretty alright. still need to do it on my own though

been a tough scavenger hunt trying to find mines for black cores

i love the weird biome thing in the ocean

[willow sleet]

Dunno bout y'all, but I've been solo this whole damn time. And blind. Maybe it's a skill issue, but the lava makes me wanna perish irl

[robust delta]

how sometimes it'll say black forest or plains instead of ocean

it's a heavy storm in ocean and then it turns black forest for a bit and it's all peacefull and great, and then raging storm once again
clearly i was just in the eye of a hurricane 😏

Is axe damage slash or chop?

[merry pebble]

both, chop only damages trees and structures tho

[willow sleet]

I mean the lava lakes in the Asslands, I always manage to get enemies below the basalt bomb platform. And they just hit me from where I can't fight back and knock me into the lava.

[hot bolt]

ok chop to non-enemies, slash to enemies, got it

[robust delta]

true. we do hate that

i haven't had that, tho im sure my friends and i will soon 😏

[merry pebble]

they also do slash to the "non-enemies" as you´ve put it 🙂 the easiest example would be wood structures, if you look at wiki you will see that they are weak to chop but also take slash https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wood_structures

[robust delta]

looking forward to the terrible corpse runs

[hot bolt]

oh slash/chop to trees/inanimate objects. Slash only to enemies

[robust delta]

after a day of searching for an infested mine to find maybe 1 or 2 black cores for a shield gen and the future needs, i found 5 near the entrance

after i had to brawl and corpse run with a 2 star seeker guard. oh i love valheim

[tame yarrow]

why is the valheim community so flakey?

no one wants to hang around in a server for more than a few days

[robust delta]

make that 11 black cores. and also a handful of 2 star ticks and 2 star seeker with a pinch of 1 star seeker

[rotund dust]

My Kids and I beat Yagluth!!

[hazy wadi]

skål!!!

i finally got this moder down, good lord

[crimson cradle]

i mean, it's not the whole community

look how many people are in this discord and then look at how many people have played your server

you just havent found the right people

[crimson cradle]

staff of fracturing kinda sucks ngl

it prob shouldnt be outclassed by weapons of the past area

[manic oak]

Hi. Anyone know if the mysterious locations spawns more ”parts” so you can make more than one sword in one world?

[robust delta]

yeah i kinda feel that

great for camera shake paloozah lmao

i think it is technically stronger by a bit, though by the time u get it the fire staves are pretty weak vs the charred, let alone it being the big shotgun

not sure if it's better at crowd control than staff of ember though

[languid snow]

manage to trap every single ashlands enemy i could ie: 2 charred archers and warriors, 1 morgen,1 bonemaw, 2 lavaslimes,and a fallen valkerie

[civic escarp]

Anyone looking for an adult vanilla server? I'm starting one soon.

[languid snow]

also 2 charred twitchers

[fallow lantern]

Wondering if I should keep my root armor or upgrade to wolf armor? Just started mountains

[jagged wind]

wolf armor or fenris is better than root

[nocturne wolf]

You could keep the harnesk for pierce resistance but you’ll need to avoid fire damage

[jagged wind]

but for plains/mistlands u gonna need to keep the harnesk

as mountains dont have any mobs with pierce dmg (if i dont count skelly archers)

actually... one type of golem has pierce dmg

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[nocturne wolf]

You should make a different chestplate for any fuling camps you raid before you have barley, otherwise the shamans may kill you in one hit

[jagged wind]

shamans are quite easy to dodge in the open field + one shottable with bow from a far before they aggro

[fair cairn]

i dont think shottable is a word

[opal prairie]

We do get the meaning though.

[robust delta]

finally in the ashlands

[ruby nacelle]

does that mod that allows you to build your own boght work on multiplayer dedicated servers I have a dedicated server but we really can't get any of the mods to work any recommendations would be much appreciated

[vocal rivet]

Don't think anyone answered but no, one sword per world unless you have modifiers on.

[rotund dust]

I reckon it's 100% a word, I've heard it used and used it myself.

[fair cairn]

it is 100% nota word

[ruby nacelle]

that moonshine was shootable

[opal prairie]

#mods-discussion / #dedicated-server might be a better place to ask that specific question.

[fair cairn]

just cause you heard people use a word they made up on the spot cause they forgot the real word does not make it a word

[rotund dust]

Are we talking 1900 dictionary, or modern day?

[ruby nacelle]

oo ty

[fair cairn]

i litterally tried google on it, gues what google thought, you mean short table?

[opal prairie]

Shootable is a word, shottable not so sure about that one.

[rotund dust]

I mean shottable makes more sense than skibidi rizz...

[robust delta]

true

[ruby nacelle]

water bottles are very Shootable when you have a shotgun

[opal prairie]

Anything makes more sense than skibidi, doesn't make it a word though.

[fair cairn]

ill ignore you said the last part and 100% dissagree on the first part

[ruby nacelle]

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Shootable

[fair cairn]

justifying your word makes more sense than some other made up word does not make you right

[opal prairie]

Shootable does exist, shottable on the other hand.

[ruby nacelle]

isent

[robust delta]

usent

[vocal rivet]

Lol, urban dictionary as a credible source.

[ruby nacelle]

nu unn

tisent

[rotund bay]

man, I wish we had more battleaxes
and it did more chop damage compared to regular axes

[fair cairn]

personally ive never used battleaxes in this game

[vocal rivet]

Why would it? You're compromising a tool to make it a weapon as well.

[fair cairn]

ive made the crystal battle axe cause it looked cool but did not even use it

[ruby nacelle]

yeah but if you get your battle ax up high enough blocking and attacking you save that extra space

[fair cairn]

i should mention i dislike two-handed weapons very much

[rotund bay]

I mean, regular axes already have that caveat, with how slow battleaxes are compared to regular axes, I expected it did more on those department

[ruby nacelle]

anybody want to participate in a live stream Adventure on a private server

[fair cairn]

the only ones ill likely use are greatswords and the sledge hammers (only to cheese some enemies though)

[vocal rivet]

You want to live stream with strangers? Oof.

[ruby nacelle]

that's the fun of it

[rotund bay]

I have hammers with me because they're just nifty in a pinch, and I wanted to make battleaxes better at least, they're really fun to use

[opal prairie]

But a battleaxe is harder to aim consistently at the same spot and is shaped differently than a wood-chopping axe.

[fair cairn]

untill you get banned cause one of the strangers said the N-word or many other banned topics on the stream

[ruby nacelle]

I rented a server for $10 a month from Frost Pine gaming

[ruby nacelle]

lol

that's what disclaimers are for

we just had our first Viking raid party the other day

[robust delta]

so that explains ur weird meme lol

[ruby nacelle]

I can tell you it was better than watching neebs gaming do it

[vocal rivet]

Disclaimers don't prevent TOS breaches.

[ruby nacelle]

its privit u gota meat and greet

now you're just getting technical to be argumentative do you just want an argument or what

I'm just going to gracefully walk away from this table don't need to inadvertently offend you find Folk

[buoyant ether]

doesnt hearth have a bigger range than a basic small bonfire?

like for beds etc

[merry pebble]

yes it does

[buoyant ether]

longhouse issue solved 😎

anyone here do like a one map for just building shit on creative so that on normal runs u dont have to obsess about buildings ?

(i wanna know if it works out like that psychologically 💀 )

[vocal rivet]

Sure, plenty.

[wind lark]

haven't been around since the virus attack, oof

[lunar sapphire]

Howdy Officer

[wind lark]

can't believe I have the newcomer icon now

[jagged wind]

nop

[proper prism]

Nah. Never used creative mode. Feels it’s a slippery slope if you start messing with stuff like that and then all of a sudden you can’t play normal mode again 😅

[wind lark]

hey guys, any news on what's next after Ashlands?

[nocturne wolf]

It could be Deep North (the final biome) or a smaller update, we don't know yet

[proper prism]

No idea. Haven’t even been to ashlands yet 😂

[wind lark]

final biome? don't they want to update ocean biome too?

[wind lark]

me neither tbh, im waiting for the game to be fully finished before playing again

[nocturne wolf]

Why wait that long? It's probably going to be at least another year until it's finished.

[wind lark]

because I hate contimainate my seed or having to start over everytime

I want the fully finished experience

[proper prism]

I’ve restarted the same seed after every new boss so far and it has never been any issues for me atleast. But have fun waiting for a very long time I guess 🙂

[jagged wind]

i hope i wont have to restart my seed as im building a town there

not gonna explore too much in case of some ocean update

[proper prism]

There’s sooo much ocean that I feel it would take an insane amount of time to explore every little bit of it 😅

[opal prairie]

The ocean covers the whole world so not exploring too much doesn't really do anything.

[proper prism]

Doubt it’s all connected as in one single “instance” but who knows

[opal prairie]

It is an all divided up by chunks, isn't it @near furnace ?

[jagged wind]

its same as in minecraft

[proper prism]

That means nothing to me

[near furnace]

pretty much yeah

[jagged wind]

anything unexplored is not generated

[sage condor]

With what

[hard gale]

god morgen gjall

[serene talon]

😭 whyyyyyyy

[opal prairie]

Because we can.

[hard gale]

[serene talon]

i hope that i will not need to expirience any more gjall raids

[opal prairie]

Kill the queen to get rid of it.

[wind lark]

based on the old scrapped roadmap they mentioned new sea monsters, possible new boats and enemy ships

besides, sea as it is now is pretty empty

[sage condor]

Yeah true, only sea serpents

[sage condor]

That would be amazing

[serene talon]

sadly to kill the queen i have to spend time in the mistlands, this time i just wont built a mistlands base before i kill the queen so no problem

[opal prairie]

Build a base but have less than 3 player base items around at all times.

[serene talon]

i'll just build a small base where i gather ressources from and won't spend much time there

everything in mistlands that i need elsewhere is luckely teleportable

[keen cliff]

Blob raid puts a dent in the wolves. Poor wolves.

[sinful fulcrum]

Do you need to beat bonemass to mine silver?

[opal prairie]

No but it makes it much easier to find.
You can go into the mountains find obsidian and go higher than that.
Start smacking the ground with a stagbreaker and keep going till you see too hard message pop up, somewhere under there is silver.
With bonemass item you get pings guiding you to the silver.

[sinful fulcrum]

Do you know if the hammer smash thing still works?

I was gonna ask that but thank you haha

[fair cairn]

Time to wait a few minutes for ashlands to load huh

ehh it loaded less go!

omg a bone pile?!
wait why no ore piles yet
NOOOO!

[hidden fog]

This is a noob question, is your character saved to the world you play or on your local?

[nocturne wolf]

The characters are saved locally and can be used on any world

[hidden fog]

Ok thanks I am transitioning from 7d2d and wasn’t sure how it worked on this game. Just creating a dedicated server for friends and family, thanks

[distant field]

Well, they can be saved on the cloud. But they are saved separately, which is the important thing.

[near furnace]

Exactly. The player owns there own characters. Not the server owner

[buoyant ether]

#building-screenshots message am proud

idk if i should put a cooking rack also on the first hearth, middle hearth, living room hearth

[distant field]

Looks great! Nice build.

[buoyant ether]

thanks ! took me a LONG time to start understanding the building aspect of the game properly

the first 200hrs i just built huts pretty much 💀

[serene talon]

never realized it to that extend, that's smart

[buoyant ether]

bruh i hate swamp so much

[nocturne wolf]

Swamp is the best biome

[buoyant ether]

i just wanna skip it...... i always just wanna skip it

what 😭 arguably the worst 😭 constant debuff 😭 abominations 😭 slimes 😭

whats the best way to dmg abos ?

[nocturne wolf]

A sword or axe

[foggy glacier]

axe

[distant field]

best way? trap it on a sirtling spawn

[buoyant ether]

how 😭

maybe ill just go plains 🥺

[serene hollow]

Easiest way to kill abominations is with a bonfire. Carry a bonfire on you, drop it, light it, and the abom will walk right over it. Then just run in a circle around him. He will turn to face you and burn to death. Super easy and no damage taken. Sometimes he gets pissed from burning and will run away and you have to go chase him down to finish him but it is the safest easiest way to handle them. If you are good with parrying while you have them over the fire, parry the swing and they take massive damage from the parry bonus while burning. Speeds up the process if you are good at parrying.

[hidden gorge]

portable geyser. nice

[stone mesa]

where do i find nice little dedicated servers where people vc maybe?

[robust delta]

#1024264966712340510 i suppose

[stone mesa]

the last dedicated server was in 27th of july🪹

[robust delta]

[prime wren]

the last new thread posted in there? That was only a couple of weeks ago so...

[vocal rivet]

12 new threads in the last 24 hours...

[prime wren]

then I have no idea what they're on about

They might have meant the last thread posting/advertising an actual dedicated server? Since a lot of people in there make posts looking for groups and not necessarily hosting? I think?

[thorn coral]

Hello! do anybody want to play in a small party?

[minor mica]

#1024264966712340510

[final bloom]

Gjall raids? I just killed the Queen but never had one in my life

[sleek tree]

So just how imporetant are skills?

im struggling a bit more than i would like and i am wondering if it because my skills are doing poorly or if its a skill issue on my part

[hidden gorge]

the devs regularly test balance with characters with 0 skill -- they're not necessary, just something that's nice to have and make things slightly easier

[buoyant ether]

twaeked down the difficulty to normal for swamp, now im actually not dying every 5minutes

anyone know if the armoury mod adds a iron claymore ? i havent seem to unlocked such atleast yet

[gilded vine]

Looking for a group pm me

[distant field]

#1024264966712340510

[buoyant ether]

thinking if i should turn this into a bow-only run

tho bonemass.... 😭 would be pain

[sharp bluff]

build a platform and crack open a cold one
its not hard but takes like half an hour

(and prepare a fire and like 9 stacls of wood to craft arrows)

[timid sun]

This would also make for a good way to get your bow levels up for the rest of the playthrough

[buoyant ether]

😭

it turns out im doing a clubs run after all, thanks to a mod

[sharp bluff]

iron mace destroys bonemass

[severe phoenix]

Try translating eitr and hear how to pronounce it

[robust delta]

eye tar

[severe phoenix]

Eeaytee-YARR!

[timid sun]

I be a clown pirate

[severe phoenix]

Lazy town | you are a pirate

banger.

[nova cape]

Opinions vary, but the reality is that weapon related skills add +141% attack at level 100 vs. level 0. That is, if you have 100 damage on a sword slash at level 0, you'd have 241 damage at level 100. This is a massive increase based solely on the skill (https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Skills).

As for what's "balanced" or what the skills "should" be for a given point in the game: unless someone can tell you which skills, which levels, what gaming experience, what play style, which biomes, and what duration of time constitutes "balance", they are probably just making a vague vibes-based statement on "balance". Feel free to curate your own vibes.

If you want skills to be higher for fun, for your playstyle, whatever, it is relatively easy to use spawners and weak weapons to gain levels on things. Do what's most fun for you.

[icy apex]

Hi, does anyone know why the Mistwalker slows enemies in the ashlands for just such a short duration?

[lusty dirge]

And for things like bloodmagic or bows leveling skill from 0 to 60+ means turning them from nigh useless to almost a little too strong

[foggy glacier]

Keep in mind this is slightly backwards. Your weapon skill increases damage up to the weapon's maximum potential, it doesn't start there.

[manic timber]

dose a black metal axe let you mine anything new ?

[icy apex]

no?

[serene hollow]

It has to do with mob level and the biome. Even the frost staff does not slow that long. The slow is more than sufficient if you get good at circling while you attack, you can pretty much always be on their side or almost behind them which makes killing with that sword way OP. They are trying to turn to get to you but just can't keep up. Takes some practice but any addtional slow would just be silly.

[icy apex]

Why silly? because not necessary?

[serene hollow]

It would make the game so sadly easy if it slowed more. The AI programing to turn to face you means you are always getting free hits from behind if the slow was longer. Would require revamping the AI which is not going to happen.

[tame yarrow]

if you think the staff of fracturing is weak, turn camera shake off.

your life will be changed

[ashen geyser]

is Odin coming after the Deep North boss to take us to Valhalla?

[vocal rivet]

I doubt he'll do it himself, he'll probably send another valkyrie.

[ashen geyser]

he said he will come himself on a runestone from Astrid
"Slay the Forsaken. Chain their heads. I will come."

[nocturne wolf]

He never said he’d take us to Valhalla, he’s probably just going to thank us then magic himself away

[ashen geyser]

true but it would be cool if he will take us to Valhalla after all we've endured

[nova cape]

yeah just for clarification: this was just a toy example with nice numbers so people could understand it more easily. Percentages can be confusing for a lot of people, so that was the motivation

[ashen geyser]

i would love it if we would get more lore,like some animated cutscenes ,but i guess thats too much work

[languid snow]

hey what is with those meteors that come from the sky in ashlands can they be like spawned in

[pure mica]

Will the game go on sale soon? I want to play it with my friend but I can't buy it right now.

[hearty niche]

Yeah he seems like the type who knows how to delegate / get others to do his dirty work

[maiden epoch]

Agreed; he's too busy watching us from the shadows.

[carmine kestrel]

Do you have to be near water to make a pond???

[merry pebble]

you have to be low enough, water is present through out the whole world on the same height

[carmine kestrel]

That area is way away from water then

XD I dug down as deep as I could go and didn't ever hit water

It's ok there's a river near the farmland I have earmarked so maybe I can make one there.

[tidal pier]

You can do the whole game bow thats what i do, you only need a level 4 wooden club for bonemass, 7 swings roll and repeat.

[carmine kestrel]

:x you didn't use a mace?

[tidal pier]

Cause a wooden club at lvl 4 kills him fast

I usually speed run it

[carmine kestrel]

o.o it's the same blunt damage but higher though?

[tidal pier]

yea a level 4 wooden club kills him fast since hes weak to blunt

[carmine kestrel]

oh you guys don't actually sit and play for multiple game days then o.o?

[tidal pier]

I normally skip all of bronze, only make an axe with it

[carmine kestrel]

.> I was talking about Iron mace but ok...

[tidal pier]

I get max lvl troll armor and i dont make upgrade armor till padded

no need for an iron mace, i use bow

[carmine kestrel]

o.o;;;;;;;;;;;; Yeah I'm not gonna sit for an hour with a bow...

[tidal pier]

once you get bow to like 50-60 you start killing fast

bow its probably one of the best weapons in the game

use it from the start and its leveled fast

[carmine kestrel]

still not going to use it ~.~ I don't like them they take too long to aim and charge.

[tidal pier]

Ok, i was responding to someone who wanted to do a bow playthrough, you can play however you want

[carmine kestrel]

I give you guys props for that too. I just haven't found one that is fast enough fire, yet.

[tidal pier]

you also realize the charge part gets faster as you level it..

[carmine kestrel]

Maybe because I use a PC controller.

[tidal pier]

its gets so fast the framerate cant keep up

[carmine kestrel]

I dunno but I've never been able to hit anything with one.

They usually move, before I can fire.

[merry pebble]

different bows dont have different times to draw, thats entirely reliant on lvl of the bow skill 😉

[tidal pier]

the bow wrecks stuff once you learn to use it

[carmine kestrel]

XD Then that's all you guys haha. I might try it one day, but I don't have patience for it. Plus... I saw a video of someone trying that with Bonemass...

They hit 2s on him with arrows

[tidal pier]

yea bonemass is a no go, need blunt

[merry pebble]

thats because he is very resistant to pierce 🙂

[carmine kestrel]

I was like omg x.x who suggested to that dude that you could build a tree fort and shoot Bonemass from above

[merry pebble]

oh, thats not strategy for defeating him but for leveling up the bow skill 🙂

[carmine kestrel]

You'd need XD like 500 arrows and a whole lot of patience.

[tidal pier]

bonemass fight is very predictable, you can hit him 7 times, 8 if youre really good then you jsut roll forward. You could kill him naked with a club and psn potion

[carmine kestrel]

psn potion what?

[merry pebble]

poison potion i assume

[tidal pier]

the psn resistance potion

[carmine kestrel]

.> oh the meads

[merry pebble]

but i have never seen shortening the word poison to psn

[tidal pier]

oh.. its common in other games

[carmine kestrel]

I've never seen that one either and XD I've played quite a few MMOs

[tidal pier]

yea, use it a lot. I may be older than you guys who knows. Maybe its my age showing

[carmine kestrel]

I've seen Pois, before.

o.o I'm 40...

[tidal pier]

oh im 37.. weird we use Psn in Wow and Diablo games a lot

[carmine kestrel]

I don't play Diablo

Everquest, Everquest2, ick WoW once, Warframe, Elderscrolls Online, Neverwinter Online, Lord of the Rings Online, D & D Online, Runescape, Phantasy Star Online, Final Fantasy XI, Ragnarok Online, Ragnarok 2 Online, Genshin Impact, Honkai 3rd Impact, and I think I even played Mabinogi a few times. @tidal pier

[tidal pier]

You didnt have to type them all out lol

I believed you

[carmine kestrel]

XD I get asked a lot so I figured I might as well just say it.

[tidal pier]

I was like damn theyre typing a lot

[carmine kestrel]

It's a long list XD

[tidal pier]

Ive always stuck with the same games, Wow, Diablo 2 / Diablo 3 / Diablo 4 / POE / GW2

[carmine kestrel]

I got out of WoW because of pvp XD and Barrens chat... Need I say more?

[tidal pier]

Did you play on a pvp server? What do you mean Barrens, like you hated it or mad they took it away

[merry pebble]

we were expecting a paragraf, and we were not disappointed 😄 (more impressed really)

[carmine kestrel]

... omg XD I played WoW when there was only ONE expansion lol left after the second was a thing.

Barrens chat was well... The red light district :x

[tidal pier]

Damn ive played since the first day it came out and i still play haha

[carmine kestrel]

I mean it too XD every time you go through there they were doing stuff that was tmi or arguing over politics...

[tidal pier]

You can mute that chat lol..

[carmine kestrel]

It was the pvp that turned me off though... People actually legit hunted others down irl over capture the flag... I was like why????

[tidal pier]

you can always play pve servers

[rotund dust]

Bruh I play Valheim to escape WoW, can you take it to another channel please. You'll make me resubsucribe thru addiction. Thank you.

[carmine kestrel]

That didn't used to be a thing though as far as I knew.

[tidal pier]

its the perfect time to come back lol

[rotund dust]

Idc, this is Valheim Chat 🙂

[tidal pier]

k

[carmine kestrel]

@rotund dust Not trying to. We were talking about abbreviations, originally XD

[tidal pier]

lol its all good..

[carmine kestrel]

when people use weird ones I've never seen, I have to ask what they mean.

[tidal pier]

weird lol.. psn totally makes sense

[carmine kestrel]

but it also sounded like you were talking about Playstation XD

[tidal pier]

Becareful mentioning playstation here you might make Andre subscribe for PSN Plus due to his addictions

[carmine kestrel]

o.o; That only works, if you have the platform though...

Valheim is out on both too isn't it?

[tidal pier]

i believe so

[carmine kestrel]

I'm a Steam player, but I use the PC controller. Keyboard and mouse doesn't work well for people who are left handed ^.^ especially when not every game can change keybindings.

[tidal pier]

got those arithis fangers

[carmine kestrel]

@merry pebbleremind me at some point and I'll show you my new build sites :3 I made a Funland2 with my little Anjel character. Instead of villages, I'm separating things into multiple locations. Residential, Production, and the Farm. Not quite finished with any of them, yet, but I am kinda proud of my home cottage :3

[keen cliff]

yeah, i left mouse. so i use xbox controller plus keyboard for stuff.

[hot bolt]

anyone play on hardmode and have any luck at all killing stone golems? Maxed out mountains biome gear and blocking is a joke and 1 mistake and you are 1 shot. (yes "hard" mode but still seems rough for hardmode even considering how easy everything else has been

[shy marlin]

iron mace

• dodge, can still staggerlock with decent mace levels and back to back mace specials

[carmine kestrel]

@shy marlin Are they like Bonemass and can't have slash damage at all? I mean the only heavier damage weapon would be an battle axe right? It's slow as fart though.

[hot bolt]

If dodge is the roll move, his two hand attack hits me anyway

[slim imp]

you need about 160 HP to have any chance of parrying them with a lvl 3 silver shield (iirc)

[carmine kestrel]

@keen cliffdid you change your name font?

[hot bolt]

160? damn im at like 130

[shy marlin]

Not really sure what you're asking? But stone golems are resistant to pierce and slash, but neutral to blunt and stagger, which makes the iron mace a good option @carmine kestrel

[hot bolt]

I do have lvl 3 silver shielf tho

[carmine kestrel]

@shy marlin I was just asking if a maxed Iron Battle wouldn't do the trick too?

[shy marlin]

I mean, it could do the trick, just wouldn't be fun

Anything is possible as long as you just don't get hit 4head

[slim imp]

if you have some block skill the necessary HP might drop closer to 150, anyways, you probably need to eat 3 HP foods

[carmine kestrel]

Deer Stew, Turnip Stew, and what Minced Meat?

[hot bolt]

my block skill is 5

This game makes it nearly impossible to keep your skills up lol

[carmine kestrel]

o.o you have to grind them.

[slim imp]

yes, specially hard mode and very hard modes which makes block/parrying more and more unviable

[carmine kestrel]

There was someone here that speed runs, but I dunno if they kill the stone golems

[slim imp]

if they speed run there isn't much of a reason to kill golems

just let them distract some drakes and get your silver

[tepid prawn]

the trick to high skills is not dying, I sometimes do a play through where I pretend iM on permadeath, that helps somewhat

[tepid prawn]

I could be wrong but I thought they cannot mine silver

[slim imp]

I have no idea, I haven't really watched any valheim speed runs

[tepid prawn]

I have, and speedrunners do not kill golems, no need

[carmine kestrel]

No I just said someone else might have a better strategy, if they had to kill them in a speed run

[slim imp]

they might go there just to kill moder, either way, I don't see much of a point in killing golems, drakes will occupy them forever

[carmine kestrel]

I haven't watched any of those videos either. I wasn't sure if killing them was required.

[tepid prawn]

some speedrunners also kill Moder before Bonemass, to avoid some events

so the goal of the speedrun is to kill all bosses?

otherwise they could've skipped bonemass altogether I imagine

[carmine kestrel]

wait is bonemass worse than Moder?

o.o; that's kinda messed up.

[slim imp]

bonemass enables so many raids

[carmine kestrel]

even if you have raids turned off :x I didn't want them lol.

[tepid prawn]

Moder is the boss after Bonemass I'd argue none of them are super difficult, but if a speedrunner kills Moder first it avoids the wolf event triggering in the mountains biome unless they go back to a mountain after killing bonemass, it will then only trigger in plains

[slim imp]

Consequences of killing bonemass and moder:

Bonemass:
Disables Draugr + skeleton raid (5 first biomes)
Enables Drake raid (5 first biomes)
Enables Blob raid (5 first biomes, except mountains)
Enables Skeleton raid (6 first biomes, except mountains)
Enables Wolf raids (mountains and plains)
Enables Surtling raids (also require killing surtlings) - (5 first biomes, except mountains)
Enables Bat raid (also require killing bats) - (6 first biomes)
Enables Skeletons night spawns (5 first biomes)

Moder:
Disables Drake raid (5 first biomes)
Enable Fuling raid (meadows, black forest and plains)

and if they don't visit Plains and kill also Yagluth before Bonemass, and not enter mountains or plains after bonemas kill they completely skip the wolf event

as that event is only in mountains and plains

[carmine kestrel]

o.o; if you have raids turned off though... You're safe right?

[tepid prawn]

yes of course

[carmine kestrel]

ok good XD then I'll just kill them, when I get to them.

[tepid prawn]

you'll be safe from raids, but not safe from night spawns that get activated after certain bosses are killed

[carmine kestrel]

you mean the mobs you have wipe out, after dawn?

[slim imp]

tbh only moder doesn't affect night spawns

[tepid prawn]

raids start as soon as you enter the world, on normal world modifiers 20% chance every 46 minute

[tepid prawn]

true

[carmine kestrel]

I only get grey brutes showing up on Funland and Starter.

Elder's pets I mean pests ^.^

[tepid prawn]

if Eikthyr is alive, you can get "Eikthyr rallies the creatures of the forest" if he is dead you get "Forest is moving" which is greydwarves

[carmine kestrel]

oh so that's not elder's doing then

[tepid prawn]

or if raids turned off you get greydwarves at night if Eik is dead

[carmine kestrel]

XD I was like I really hate you dude for sending brutes to me.

[keen cliff]

yeah, i asked a mod to change my name on this discord server. added the rock cheese emojis

[tepid prawn]

nah it is him because that raid ends if Elder is dead, replaced with swamp events

[keen cliff]

gotta say, there's something super satisfying about digging a perfectly straight max depth trench

[slim imp]

killing the elder does enables greydwarf shamans and brutes to spawn at night

[past scarab]

can any experianced player help me learn the game better and play with me for an hour or two?

just looking to get armor and better weapons and learn the ropes

[carmine kestrel]

@slim imp So that is elder's doing then D:

[tepid prawn]

yes

and you get swamp things from Bonemass if you kill Elder
