[tame yarrow]

it's nice to never worry about cooking

and have all your eitr, stamina, and health food have their own box

[keen cliff]

I can currently fill at least one black metal chest at least with just lox meat. Maybe two.

[sharp bluff]

stop killing em? xd

[keen cliff]

Hahaha

[sharp bluff]

at some point i just offer them up to thor...

[keen cliff]

I have stopped killing them since my breeding tower for lox finally got broken.

[sharp bluff]

well, its decent food to prevent death by gravity while building castles

[keen cliff]

Lox pie is still my best health food, but it won't be for long.

[tame yarrow]

look in #screenshots

[serene talon]

daym thats stacked

[sharp bluff]

enough for a few days, aye

[serene talon]

as a tip, you can use the chests as the floor near the caldroun, looks clean and smoother than chests standing around

[tame yarrow]

yeah that's what I decided to do going forward

[buoyant ether]

should i build a new smaller base somewhere far away, am thinking mountains base finally

tho bases with green around so gud

[tame yarrow]

idk, what are you wanting out of a new base?

[buoyant ether]

well less lag :D

i love this one but id have to take down the smithy for the fps to be okay again

i have around 70-100 in the mountains but the smithy made it drop to around 12-19 in base

[tame yarrow]

imo, best way to minimize lag is to build on a plains island and clear out EVERYTHING, all bushes, rocks, buildings, etc.

[buoyant ether]

islands are pog

[serene talon]

a small stronghold in mountains could be cool

what biomes have you built in already

[buoyant ether]

wel throughout my play throughs plains/mistlands, meadows mostly

[serene talon]

you could build in ashlands if you have been there

[fluid iron]

Swamp is my favorite biome because it's the most vibey. It's just a shame it's so shitty for living in and housing

[serene talon]

with shield generators it could be viable

[buoyant ether]

nah >_>

[keen cliff]

Swamp tree house is super livable.

[buoyant ether]

ashlands aint it

[fluid iron]

I haven't hit ashlands yet so I'm not familiar with shields. Does it prevent wood from decaying in the rain? Enemies are not a problem

[serene talon]

prevents rain from entering

[keen cliff]

Roof pieces will prevent wood decay.

[fluid iron]

That's dope.

[serene talon]

this means that even the wet effect is gone, though i do not know if it works in swamp

[fluid iron]

I'm not going to put roofs over my walkways to the surt farms I always settle between

Maybe I'm stubborn but that's minmaxy imo and not very rp

[keen cliff]

Why do wood walkways? Level ground or stone roads?

[fluid iron]

Would be giga cool if the shield gens extended to the clouds so I could hand sunny skies

Wood walkways are more rp in swamps than stone imo

Maybe I just don't like the swamps lmao

[serene talon]

the swamp is the place where the sun never shines

[keen cliff]

Eh. I disagree with wood walkways. Actual raised roads and paths is better and makes way more sense in a swamp.

[fluid iron]

Yeah and I definitely don't want to change that. Probs best I live out of a strong meadows base until I hit plains

[serene talon]

closest i got to swamp base was a base in a black forest extremly close

after ashlands i think i will go and build minas morgul in a swamp

[fluid iron]

What I've learned is production is mobile so while you do need a facility in the swamps, it doesn't need to be your comfort room

[keen cliff]

I had a nice swamp treehouse last play. I have a basic one in this play, near bonemass. They can be great.

Never bothered with producing anything in swamps. Just load up a boat and take it home to meadows base. Coastal base is the best.

But many ways to play. Production can be mobile. But ore shipping is easier to move imo.

[buoyant ether]

bf or mountains base ?

[serene talon]

i wanted to build a small base near a big mountain in a bf, well it turned into my main base

[old totem]

hey, wierd question, but any1 wanna duo valheim? its a bit boring playing solo after a long time. if yes, it would be perfect if you got an character that is around the level of troll-leather to bronze armor

[buoyant ether]

idk how can one structure drop my fps so low honestly

[tame yarrow]

what is the instance count?

[fluid iron]

Do you bring you metals back to your meadows base or do you have a settle further out typically?

[keen cliff]

All smelting in this game I've done back at my meadows base on the coast.

[fluid iron]

So you ferry it back eh

Interesting

[serene talon]

in my world i will build a thanos like place in meadows to go to after finishing ashladns

[keen cliff]

Pretty standard. Mountain was super close however. I ended up just running it back. Then portal. Repeat.

[serene talon]

i guess it works if you really enjoy sailing

[keen cliff]

BF was running distance also.

[vocal rivet]

It's the Viking way.

[keen cliff]

A load of ore in a longship is very efficient.

[serene talon]

true

[keen cliff]

Gotta boat to find new land anyways.

[serene talon]

i learned to enjoy sailing much more

[fluid iron]

My typical approach is bring 60 copper 30 tin on the boat with me to the swamps. Then I craft all the iron I need, make the Longship and fill it with as much iron as I want to mine, and the same copper/tin, and bring it to the mountains. Repeat, bring a stack of silver to the boat. Settle for the end game in the plains (although I've never reached AL, still lost in the mist)

Sailing is a BLAST but I don't like going backwards. Especially when you eventually want a plains base closer to the south. I know about stone portals so a southern plains base won't have a huge impact on the northland when that content drops

[buoyant ether]

found a nice lil patch of bf peninsula :3

[fluid iron]

My last mountains base had the peak very close to the coast, so I just put everything in a cart, pushed it off the cliff, and collected at the bottom. Very efficient.

[keen cliff]

My meadows base is on a thin part of the continent. So it has easy access to sail east and west, and receives ores from both sides.

[fluid iron]

You ever dig canals?

[keen cliff]

I haven't. I checked it out, but the ground level is too high. But it would have great if possible.

[fluid iron]

YeAhhhhhh seems like a lot of work. Can easily just pack up the boat and walk it over

[keen cliff]

It was more for moving ore. So I just made a fairly good cart path from the far dock.

[serene talon]

anyone know if canals are viable for drakkar?

[keen cliff]

But I'm a huge fan of breaking my boat and porting somewhere to set sail. I have a good amount of portals all over for that purpose. Cuts down on some sailing time.

[fluid iron]

You know what sucks? Portal hubs. Just work out of three portals, ensuring to have 1 loose at all time. Ezpz

[serene talon]

if done well they are amazing

[fluid iron]

Visually cool yes but not very efficient until you get access to more surts

[keen cliff]

I love a good amount of permanently linked portals. Plus some for dynamic linking. Once you rule the swamp you have infinite surtling cores.

[serene talon]

i won't kill a single surtling in my world, i have fire hazards on 😰

[vocal rivet]

They definitely are unnecessary and contribute greatly to lag.

[nocturne wolf]

If you make a stone wall around your base it will be safe

[serene talon]

that's why i just have a portal to the portal hub and its built somewhere else

[serene talon]

yeah gonna wait for plains pillars to get that stone

[nocturne wolf]

Mountains have good stones

[tame yarrow]

plains pillars really don't dorp that much

[keen cliff]

I got about 7.5 stacks of stone from my first stone pillar.

[tame yarrow]

really? I get like 2 stacks.

[fluid iron]

Fwiw I find all mining sites (copper, silver) have great stone production

[keen cliff]

Yep. 7.5 stacks.

[serene talon]

im terrified enough whilst mining silver

[fluid iron]

just keep all the stone you get and you'll have about 25% the total stone you need for a base

[nocturne wolf]

Terrified of what? Are you playing on a high difficulty?

[keen cliff]

I got way more from my second plains pillar because I kept expanding to all the other boulders I ran into. lol.

[serene talon]

stone golems

i fear no man. but that thing, it scares me.

[nocturne wolf]

They’re not that bad if you have an iron mace

[keen cliff]

But yeah, i keep all the stone I ever find. Never know when you want to go crazy with it

[rotund bay]

iron mace, iron buckler and good timing makes short work of em

[fluid iron]

Their swing timers are out of this world. Feels like playing lies of p

[nocturne wolf]

The banded shield can parry them well too

[serene talon]

oh

[keen cliff]

I'm better against the stone golem variant with the shootie attack. The other one my timing is often wrong.

[serene talon]

right; i didn't try parrying

[rotund bay]

had my fair share of getting slapped by them when learning their patterns, yeah

[nocturne wolf]

Even without parrying, iron mace obliterates them with a few carefully timed jump secondary attacks

[rotund bay]

using bonemass helps with the learning process

[nocturne wolf]

Bonemass power is the learning process

[rotund bay]

ngl whenever I get hunted I just bonemass and stand my ground
after the massacre I get loads of meat for jerky later 🤌

[silk igloo]

Aight I just killed this stupid tree

How do I go to swamp

[nocturne wolf]

Sail around until you find big dead trees. Swamps don’t generate too close to the centre of the world, try being at least as far out as the elder’s spawn location.

[silk igloo]

Is there a certain direction or?

[nocturne wolf]

No, it can generate in any direction

[keen cliff]

well that's interesting. 2 dverger rogues just chilling on a tiny rock with no base around?

[nocturne wolf]

Dvergr rogues can spawn randomly

[keen cliff]

which is nice, because they are either killig this gjall that just appeared, or distracting it lol

they got it

[fluid iron]

Biomes generate as rings around the center, any direction works. I recommend south however, so you're closer to the ashlanda

[nova cape]

the hammer golem is definitely harder to time

[nova cape]

if your clubs are leveled enough, you can parry and get a stagger from a full combo iirc, then game over (for the golem)

[keen cliff]

hah. lots of dverge just chilling in the ocean

hmm. if you're on a sandbar that says Mistlands, think i could raise the earth more, and then plant mistlands stuff here?

[grand ravine]

i love mistlands

[keen cliff]

there's a tiny island with a rogue and a lamp. but near it is a sandbar

[grand ravine]

try it. plant just a few puffs, give em a minute, if they say healthy then you're golden

[keen cliff]

i only have found magecap so far, but let me try

[grand ravine]

not all mistlands "dirt" is gardenable, but, if it's a good locatiin it's worth trying

[keen cliff]

i don't know if it's good 🙂 it's pretty small, but it seems safe as hell

i'll do it for science

[grand ravine]

"safe" is a thing of the past for you now. 🙂

bats aren't the only things that fly... >.>

[keen cliff]

aha! when i raise the sandbar, it turns into the mistlands stone and can't be cultivated

yeah, i wouldn't put a full base here, that's for sure

[wide zodiac]

is it worth crafting the root mask and leggings

[grand ravine]

your next more or less "safe" is inside an ashlands fort. but you can still get gjalls coming over for tea and biscuits

[grand ravine]

mask, yes. leggings, probably... yes if you use bow a lot.

[keen cliff]

my Yagluth island, which is completely spawn proofed, should be safe from everything. plains biome, but nowhere for raids to spawn.

my Meadows base is safe because seeker raid doesn't happen in Meadows. At least until i kill the queen. 🙂

blah rainy day. i might as well collect some wisp i guess

[grand ravine]

meadows is arguably forever best mainbase location

forts are stupid safe though

[keen cliff]

i'm very happy with mine.

[grand ravine]

unfortunately afaik meadows is never very close to mist, so fobs are always essential. there are plenty of those to be found in mist though

[keen cliff]

fobs?

[grand ravine]

forward operating bases

[keen cliff]

ahah, yeah

i will flesh out Yag island and make it my primary plains base. Just will need something suitable in mistlands for growing stuff.

my current plains base is fine, but not as potentially cool

[grand ravine]

i recommend looking for a garden spot with 3-4 roots close by. you can keep most things out most of the time with stone 4x2 walls, with <2m gaps between

[keen cliff]

gjall raid sounds pretty horrible 🙂

[grand ravine]

i actually had to put walls up mostly because my lox kept destroying things...

[keen cliff]

lol

i think lox are more trouble than they are worth, aside from lox meat at that point

my attempt of riding my lox with a group of wolves into a fuling village was made worse by the lox. would have been better if i just led the charge

[grand ravine]

they are ...fluffy. but yeah, they're a warzone waiting to happen

[keen cliff]

now, if i could get a whole HERD of lox to follow me, that would be amazing

[serene talon]

me after taming lox in masses just to slaughter them: looks like meat's back on the menu boys!

[grand ravine]

only way to get a lox to not make craters everywhere is to ride it and constantly tell it to move in a certain direction

[keen cliff]

yep. that's teh way to go

and riding a lox feels so clunky, as it should i suppose

[serene talon]

ye the riding seems weird at first but then you realise that's how it would probably look irl

[grand ravine]

you can ride them while encumbered, but, that has yet to seem practical to me..

[serene talon]

i used it once to get stone from a pillar back

[keen cliff]

it's interesting how some mistlands rock islands are completely clear. then others are these massive clouds of mist in the water

[grand ravine]

imean it could be more practical than running on foot, but, generally a portal or just a belt seems better to me

[keen cliff]

this one cloud of mist seemed to correlate with the glowing lamp object

[grand ravine]

mist free areas are nice. i still wanna find one with some tall rocks to build an interesting base overlooking mist all around. maybe with a nice ocean sunrise/set view

...probably will never happen lolll

you'll get feather cape soon, that's exciting

[keen cliff]

not soon at the rate i'm currently exploring lol 🙂

[grand ravine]

ngl it took me like 2 seconds to get used to it. forever after i keep jumping off of things and keeling myself if i have a different cape on..

[keen cliff]

i'm investigating this random completely mist covered island. what makes it special...

[grand ravine]

sometimes random small mist islands have dungeons or skulls

exploring is rarely a waste

worst case you discover that there's no reason to go back to a spot in future, but, that can be good information too

[keen cliff]

yeah, so far it looks empty, but i needed to portal home for night anwyays

i grabbed a piece of ygg wood at least lol

[grand ravine]

best way to find things in my experience is to go toward sounds and lights. though skulls require just crawling the low ground

[proper prism]

We havent killed Yagg on this seed yet but I had to go to mistlands because i need them black marbles for my castle

[keen cliff]

i'm currently trying to circle this whole mistlands area of the map, looking for larger landmasses

[proper prism]

Very annoying task without mistlight 😅

[grand ravine]

yeahhh idk if I'd take on mist with no light generally. first thing i do after yag is make like 3 of them >.>

[proper prism]

Yeah im just snatching some marble then heading back

We're probably killing yagge next week if everyone can be on at the same time

[keen cliff]

so far exploring these little mist islands is just a waste of food ticks. this one had a hare. i wonder if mist might be present for a spawn point

[proper prism]

I think ive found the best swamp island ever. Gonna have iron for DAYS...

[fleet scaffold]

I just re-installed (haven't played since couple months after release I think) because been meaning to get back into it and now we can customize for solo players to make it easier. I'm so excited.

[proper prism]

Long breaks are the best. A nice chunk of new content to get into!

[forest flame]

has anyone noticed the ashlands lava fields expanding

Im in a charred fortess and use to be able to run around it but now one side is covered in lava

[frail wagon]

god boar taming takes forever

[proper prism]

LIfe hack: do other stuff while waiting 😛

[frail wagon]

god i hate building docks

[proper prism]

I just put a stone staircase down on the edge

[frail wagon]

but i love building docks sm

[proper prism]

nothing more needed 😄

[fleet scaffold]

I forgot how much fog in the game hahah

[stone mesa]

it's beautiful and easy to make nice designs with

but it takes quite a bit to build, 1-2 hours

also the cart trick to reach lower with pillars

halves that time

[balmy seal]

I miss Valheim

[stone mesa]

valheims set and setting is what keeps me

whoever visualized this artstyle and worldbuilding

@devteam you are great

[sinful night]

any servers i can join

[merry pebble]

check out #1024264966712340510 surely some out there 🙂

[sinful night]

i checked but most of them dont reply

[merry pebble]

yeah, the replies can take from few minutes to hours or even days 😄 just be patient, someone will reply eventualy

[sinful night]

are you in one by chance that i can join

[merry pebble]

nope, i am playing solo 🙂

[stone mesa]

the games pace is so satisfying

[proper prism]

I fked up... set up a new explorer-portal on a new mistlands isle near some dvergr mages... good protection for the portal etc... destroyed my boat and accidentally aoe-attacked a crate that belonged to the dvergrs... barely made it back through the portal 😅

Do they drop aggro ever or will I have to go back full HP and guns blazing if I go back?

[merry pebble]

they never drop aggro unfortunately

[proper prism]

goooood damn it

oh well.. I wont be going through that portal again unless im roided to the gills

[merry pebble]

tak new portal mats, go through and run away, they will most likely destroy the portal and you can make the new one somewhere safe from where you can pick them off 🙂

[proper prism]

well thats the thing.. it was a perfect little spot just above the water for a portal where I could swim into mistlands

nowhere to run except for straight into mistlands passing a bunch of dvergs dpsing me 😄

[stone mesa]

my best suggestion yet maybe

[proper prism]

Ill just take the loss on those portal mats.. I have a billion cores etc anyways...

I got my boat mats back so thats the important part.. annoying to make a bunch of new nails n shiet

Dont know why im exploring more mistlands... havent even killed yagge yet so should just stick to collecting iron to help the others get fully upgraded padded armor

[stone mesa]

would love to see half doors or 1x2 wood shutters

[brittle vine]

hey why can't I make my own world?

says loading and just crashes

are there servers I can get in without passwords?

[vocal rivet]

Crashes or you get 'not responding'? If the latter, just wait a few minutes without tabbing out or touching the mouse.

[vocal rivet]

There might be some modded servers, but no, generally all servers requires passwords. Have a look in #1024264966712340510

[vernal cobalt]

Were any of the post-launch soundtracks (mistlands, asslands) released on Spotify?

[wooden tapir]

on my way to the mistlands for the first time ever

wonder how long ill live before i eventually die

any tips for a first time mistlander?

[vernal cobalt]

be careful not to aggro dvergrs, watch out for gjalls and fall damage and be sure to mark every root/skull/dvergr outpost on the map, those will come in handy later

or even a biome later when you'll need eitr for asslands-tier stuff

[wooden tapir]

got it, ty!

[vocal rivet]

You know it's called Ashlands, right?

[vernal cobalt]

i refuse to call it anything other than that

[vocal rivet]

Suit yourself.

[wooden tapir]

well my first death was a gjall

[magic steeple]

he;;p

hello,

My VALHEIM world is not loading. I havent logged in in quite some time

why are no worlds loading

[plush umbra]

just don't press or move anything, it's regenerating pois in unexplored areas, which may take some time

[magic steeple]

also, may have to use BRS

[plush umbra]

if it says "not responding", that's normal

[magic steeple]

it is?

[plush umbra]

yes

happens once per world after updates that deliberately change worldgen

[magic steeple]

ahh, will my stuff be taken?

All my stuff got taken by a mob

[plush umbra]

shouldn't be

[magic steeple]

i have nothing. this game is so punishing

I just got silver... I have nothing

[plush umbra]

you can have an infinite amount of gravestones around at a time, they never despawn, can't be broken by enemies and float on water

[wooden tapir]

will the petrified skelletons cruble like other ores?

if i remove everything it touches

[plush umbra]

yes

[wooden tapir]

i forgot to bring black metal with me to the mistlands

[shy marlin]

Find a nearby plains gg ez

[sharp bluff]

well, you'd also have to make the forge and everything

[shy marlin]

Copper and iron are in the mistlands

[sharp bluff]

(aka you need iron)

[shy marlin]

And moder tears you can just tp ez

[sharp bluff]

at that point its faster to dismantle the ship and do another run

[shy marlin]

Sailing is not fun

[sharp bluff]

its a nice distraction

[shy marlin]

You mean afk for 30 minutes

[sharp bluff]

more like 10

[shy marlin]

Ok sure bud

[robust delta]

it do be like that

[jovial anchor]

wish I could tame the greydwarfs and make them farm for me lol

are chickens worth it or should I just stick with ashlands food

[fallen zephyr]

If you have Ashlands food, why would you ever want to waste time on chickens?!

[jovial anchor]

mb didn't know if they were good or not

[serene talon]

that could be cool with necks

[jovial anchor]

yeah I just wish farming was automatic I'm lazy

or maybe a watering system to make it grow faster

[serene talon]

I do biome stuff whilst it's growing, and when it's grown i harvest and replant

Always switches things up nicely

[jovial anchor]

getting flameore is gonna be the death of me

I'm just swarmed by gremlins 24/7 lol

[serene talon]

Gremlins?

[jovial anchor]

I meant just everything

[serene talon]

And the heat seeking missilies from the lava

[jovial anchor]

yeah it's scary out there

just got some good food the and I'm at 250h/212s so I feel a lot better

[old totem]

Does any1 know, what is the best weapon type for end game? Ive heard that Frostner or daggers are best, but what is your opinion? I wanna grind the type from the start of bronze era,so the weapon type gets maxed till end game

[jovial anchor]

imo lighting weapons

why frostner?

[old totem]

Idk, ive just heard that frostner is best, so this atgeir-lighting weapon is best? (I dont know its name)

Ah i remember why frostner, because of the cc for solo players

[jovial anchor]

I use the nidhogg cus I like using a shield

[old totem]

Yk any confirm to that or is it just false info?

[jovial anchor]

sry I'm stupid what's cc, crit chance?

[old totem]

Nah, the stun, slow etc

[jovial anchor]

oh

I could be wrong but I think lighting stuns aswell

and chains

[old totem]

Ah okok, thanks for the info

[serene talon]

the best weapon in the end are the dual wielded axes, they can do crazy damage

[jovial anchor]

yeah but that's just dps right, I want def as well

[serene talon]

then one handed weapon with shield

[old totem]

Shyguy, you seem like a pro, how many houra you got?

Hours

[jovial anchor]

yeah that's what I use

[old totem]

And what weapon would YOU say is the best overall in late game?

[serene talon]

621.5 😭

i played more than the person who got me on valheim in the first place

[old totem]

Ahahahahahah

But i can understand why you got 621 hours, this game is fire

[serene talon]

Well i have only finished Ashlands once, so i didn't spend much time there after killing the boss, i used the lightning axes primarily

[old totem]

So i just want to find the best weapon type for end game so i can level it from now on

[serene talon]

i found using axes and maces worked very well

[old totem]

So what do You think about frostner?

As an end game weapon

[serene talon]

tbh i used it once for yagluth

[old totem]

I heard, it can keep up pretty pretty well especially for solo players

[quaint fossil]

Can anyone help? I cant open player logs

[serene talon]

i don't use it much but someone i know used it in ashlands in the beginning and held up pretty well

[jovial anchor]

I love this game but idk how people can do multiple play throughs I could not do all this again lol

[old totem]

I just wanna know if frosrber is sorth the grind

[serene talon]

well when something new comes i always start a new world because my worlds always end up scuffed

[jovial anchor]

new character or just world?

[serene talon]

both

[jovial anchor]

wow I could not do that

[serene talon]

i had the idea once to start with a new character in the old world, didnt do it though

[jovial anchor]

getting all the copper and iron is just so boring to me

[old totem]

Fr

It takes SO long

[serene talon]

i kind of enjoy it

but i don't just mine iron like 5 hours, i do stuff inbetween, like each day something else

[vocal rivet]

You can get all the copper you'll ever need in half an hour.

[jovial anchor]

I'm lazy

[quaint fossil]

Can anyone help i wanna open friends server but i cant open player logs

[serene talon]

what do you mean by player logs?

[quaint fossil]

Theres button on left side

I saw on yt that you need to press it to open game files

[serene talon]

oh that button

when i press it it opens the files

[quaint fossil]

Ye but i cant press it

I press it and nothing happens

[serene talon]

did you change something in the files maybe?

[quaint fossil]

No i just got this game

[serene talon]

then maybe it can't open a player log if you don't have any characters and worlds?

[vernal cobalt]

ashlands boss done, yay

so done with the game until deep north patch

so see yall in a year or two

[serene talon]

farewell

[half dragon]

best defense would be your dodge button, but parrying when possible is also really good. But not every weapon requires parrying to make it work

[quaint fossil]

I have my friends server and a char

Nothing more

[untold knoll]

copper is the only real boring part imo. iron you can find in large quantities in chest most of the time. i dotn bother mining everything. i go straight for chest.

[true tartan]

iron is super easy, barely an inconvenience

only easier metal to acquire is black metal

[serene talon]

its the fact that you have to go to swamp that makes me not farm iron

[untold knoll]

swamp is only hard the first time going in blind imo

[true tartan]

yeah, once you've got upgraded mountains gear, or plains gear, you don't even need to worry about poison resistance to walk through the swamp

because for some reason armor reduces poison damage

[untold knoll]

i ment in replaying the game as mentioned above

[true tartan]

eh, even knowing what you're doing, swamp can bit a bit of a hassle going in

even upgraded bronze armor doesn't do that much to reduce the damage those one and two star draugr can do, and they pop up with alarming regularity

[untold knoll]

i find mountains the most annoying. the hit boxes on the slopped terrain is very annoying. and the multiple wolfs can mean easy death

[stone mesa]

i feel like troll hide armor is on par with bronze armor, the move speed penalty is just not worth it to carry around on you perma until iron/cuirass

[true tartan]

i feel like bronze is much easier to get at black forest level

trolls are not common enough to rely on troll hide alone for armor

[untold knoll]

you just need 2 trolls for top and bottom

troll caves are ideal locations for trolls

bronze just takes to long to farm to justify the time spent. plus killing trolls is more fun

[true tartan]

yeah, no, you need to upgrade the armor too, if you want to be able to survive more than a single hit from a draugr

[untold knoll]

i am on my 3rd playthrough atm and i got the foul smell from swamp right after killing elder and

my bronze buckler was mroe than enough with troll hide

i can see it being a problem for first timers thoe.

[half dragon]

Umm... trolls are rather easy to hunt for maxed out troll armor. I got mine maxed while I was hunting crypts and mining bronze

[true tartan]

not in my experience

[merry pebble]

you cant max troll armor untill you get mountains stuff tho

[true tartan]

I had level 3 bronze helm, chest, and legs before I ever got the troll hide cape to even just level 2

and that was without crafting a single other piece of troll hide gear

[merry pebble]

i make the troll armor because the bronze is usually more time consuming 🙂

[serene talon]

also it doesnt make you slow

wich is useful in BF

[fair cairn]

and it gives justa tiny bit less armor compared to tho heavy set

[warped umbra]

What would be considered rare generation for a world?

[merry pebble]

lots of things, all bosses (exept Fader) conected by starter continent for example

[true tartan]

ye, the ultra rare megacontinent containing the first 6 biomes and including the first 6 bosses

I'm sure it exists, but I'd be completely shocked if anyone actually found it

[merry pebble]

i am pretty sure i saw one with first 5 bosses, that was pre ashlands i am pretty sure though

[jagged wind]

my main island has eikthyr, elder and moder 😎

[keen cliff]

i can walk to all 3 of those on my seed also. Moder mountain and Eikthyr super close to my main base.

Bonemass and Yag required sailing however.

[true tartan]

meanwhile my world forces me to go halfway from spawn to the edge of the world just to fight The Elder

[keen cliff]

as the kids say: lol rip

[true tartan]

which I still haven't done yet, despite being kitted out in level 3 mountains gear

[keen cliff]

hmm. interestingly, both Yag and Bonemass were also right on the coast. Though I didn't wan to dock in the Swamp, so i had to slog through one a bit.

so this seed has been good for bossess so far

[proper prism]

Haven’t killed any bosses after eik?

[true tartan]

correct

I could've skipped Eikthyr too, if I had wanted

[proper prism]

How are you getting your metals?

[true tartan]

Stagbreaker makes it easy to find iron and silver under the ground

[proper prism]

A crypt key and wishbone would be easier

[true tartan]

easier, yes

[keen cliff]

no boss run is cool though.

[proper prism]

Alright 🙂

[keen cliff]

i gave up on mine trying to find iron.

[true tartan]

y'know what isn't easier, though?

the raids you get after defeating later bosses

[keen cliff]

are you going to try and skip Moder also?

[true tartan]

I don't want to see a single drake raid, so I refuse to kill Bonemass before I'm fully prepared to kill Moder in the same day

[proper prism]

I have a moat that takes care of all ground bound raids.

Drakes take 1 arrow each so no real issue

Bats are just annoying

[true tartan]

Moder can't be skipped, unless you want to be severely underpowered going into Mistlands

[modern rune]

wait

[keen cliff]

right. that's why i was curious 🙂

[modern rune]

are there gate structure for metal construct

[merry pebble]

there are iron gates yes

[true tartan]

depends on the bow and the arrow, actually, and whether or not they're alerted

but the main annoyance is that their aim is absolutely awful, and they'd do a ton of structural damage

[modern rune]

can you use it for double gate structure like with the wooden gate

[merry pebble]

not sure, i never really used it

[proper prism]

None of my drake raids so far has been any problems for my structures because they die so fast. Guess it’s annoying if you have free roaming pets etc.

[keen cliff]

anyone know if the rock island mistland things ever have POIs?

[true tartan]

technically yes, but there will be a skinny iron beam in the middle

you won't be able to pull a cart through it

[keen cliff]

kinda crazy how abrupt the mist can be: #screenshots message

every time i investigate one of those mist domes i end up disappointed though lol.

[true tartan]

yeah, I don't think i'm going to even try to build anything in the mistlands, other than some walls and a portal to let me grow and collect crops

[proper prism]

Yeah mistlands base isn’t worth it. Too much annoyance 😂

[keen cliff]

I haven't even found land I can farm on in the Mistlands yet. Just tiny rocky Islands.

[keen cliff]

lol finally found a a light and boated to it. 2 seekers jumped into my boat and started messing me up. jumped to land and got trapped in a crevice, but the seekers can't get me. but frostner angle bad. BIG HAMMER to the rescure lol

i hear a gjall nearby too

aha, this must be an infested mine entrance. i see another seeker near the light

yep, stairs there

trying to attract the gjall first to deal with

aha, you know it's important when both ravens show up to talk

[stone mesa]

#suggestions message
this is crazy 😂

[vocal rivet]

What is?

[keen cliff]

he's obviously referring to the crazy suggestion he linked to

okay, i have officially no regrets max upgrading the iron sledge. it's smooshing these seekers nicely in the mines

[vocal rivet]

Which is?

[keen cliff]

...

[true tartan]

"Remake this game as a homeless person in New York. Biomes can include the Bronx, wall street, the coast, and other parts of New York I am not familiar with."

[vocal rivet]

Thanks. And wow, that's... ridiculous.

[keen cliff]

Does your Discord not show the link to the suggestions post he pasted the line above saying: "this is crazy" ?

[vocal rivet]

I don't have access to the Suggestions channels, so no.

[keen cliff]

ah

[vocal rivet]

That's why I asked.

[keen cliff]

all good.

lol screw you 2 star tick! haha man this would trigger a bug phobia, as i get swarmed by these disgusting things

[grand ravine]

🤣 sounds like you're having fun

[keen cliff]

yeah, this is good stuff. and iron sledge is doing work. the ambiance of course puts me on edge. i'm super sensitive to the background noises

[wooden tapir]

these darn hares ate my jotun puffs!

now i have to go find more, thats all i had ):

[keen cliff]

i've yet to find puffs. i think because i've only been on rocky islands so far. so i have plenty of magecaps i can't plant yet

[wooden tapir]

did you at least bring blackmetal with you?

[keen cliff]

yep. i brought 5 blackmetal + 2 iron. so i can do the extractor as well as a stonecutter

oooo ooo i see a treasure room glyph in the distance

1 black core

[proper prism]

Why don’t you have access to that?

[vocal rivet]

I'm banned from them permanently.

[proper prism]

Alright.

[keen cliff]

whoops, fell through a hole. i was just about to go drop off some loot. okay, time to find my way back up....

[grand ravine]

yeah gotta watch that lol. my friend drops through that every. single. time.

[keen cliff]

the funny thing was, i was just thinking to myself "huh, i wonder if that gap is big enough to fall through..."

[pure blaze]

haven't played Valheim for many months. Did they do away with gradual discovery of recipies? Is everything now known from the outset?

[keen cliff]

two more black cores... go go go.

[keen cliff]

no, you have to get all the ingredients plus have the right crafting table+level to see the recipe

[pure blaze]

ok, I've just started my game. Why is everything visible in my build menu? I'm not talking about food recipes. It's the hammer "recipes"

[keen cliff]

you have /everything/ visible? like all the build pieces? is your server in hammer mode, ie free build?

[grand ravine]

or are you using a character that's already unlocked the recipes?

[fallen zephyr]

#suggestions doesn't have default access? I've never not had access.

[vocal rivet]

No, I specifically am not allowed to view them.

[fallen zephyr]

Were you a bad boy?

[vocal rivet]

Repeatedly, yeah.

[pure blaze]

this might be the case

[fallen zephyr]

lol love it

[vocal rivet]

It's genuinely better for everyone's sanity that I can't see it. And I don't even miss it.

[fallen zephyr]

I suspect many of your suggestions were around offerings, and interactions, re: Haldor... 😛

[vocal rivet]

Oh, it wasn't my suggestions that were the problem.

I think I've only ever made 3 or 4.

[fallen zephyr]

Damn. That was our first in-joke. I thought I hit it. ;P

[grand ravine]

feather cape when

[keen cliff]

as soon as i can! but man, still a far way to go. I haven't even seen a thing to extract sap from yet, or gotten a piece of black marble

[grand ravine]

XD

needa find a good sized chuck of land, sounds like you're seeing a lot of water

[keen cliff]

lol seeker flew up out of this pit, i KNEW there was stuff down there. But I think the railings drop marble if I smash it

[keen cliff]

yeah, i've only been on the island rock mistlands so far

[grand ravine]

o.o what kinda pit

[keen cliff]

this pit. 2 seekers in there: #screenshots message

hmmm. i can pickaxe those railings, but after they crumble away they don't drop anything. booo

[grand ravine]

ohhhh. yeahp.

[keen cliff]

i've tossed some ooze bombs down there, and there's nothing. gonna go pick up the seeker drops i think

[grand ravine]

yeah only mats you get from destroying things in dungeons are wood and copper pretty much

[keen cliff]

plus i'm making tons of noise, so pretty sure there's nothing around there

the wiki says: ```Black marble (from destroyed railings)

in the infested mine page

[grand ravine]

you know the mine is clear when you hear no skittering

[grand ravine]

🤔 interesting..idunno, but there are definitely better sources outside the mine. for sure.

[half dragon]

infested mine has hidden and not so obvious doors

multiple times only noticed that there is a door that can be opened because minions tried to attack enemies behind it

[keen cliff]

i hear more skittering. woo. lets smash some bugs with the big hammer

[grand ravine]

big hammer is fun in mines

[keen cliff]

lol so i saw one and said, meh, i'll practice with frostner and shield, then two more showed up. ran away and came back with hammer

[grand ravine]

lol

[keen cliff]

the AOE damage+knockback is great

i don't worry about aiming so much

[fallen zephyr]

Seekers have horribly deceptive range on their attacks. A 2H weapon sounds like a great idea. AOE FTW.

[keen cliff]

i also like that it makes a crap ton of noise, so i tend to pull them in a manageable way

rrather than turning a corner and finding a group

woo another secret room with 3 cores. I now have 6 total

that's over the magic number

[grand ravine]

ngl I'm looked ng forward to when you try ember staff

[keen cliff]

i dunno, i'm kinda a fan of raising dead minions to fight for me 🙂 I do like rock cheese

[grand ravine]

oh you can do both at the same time. 🙂

[keen cliff]

it's funny, i've never associated with being a fire mage though. in other games. never drawn to it.

hahaha

[fallen zephyr]

It's not elemental in Valheim, it's more about wands.

[keen cliff]

holy crap, i opened a door, and got swarmed. okay, that was close

[fallen zephyr]

Like, I wand'er which staff I'll have to use today to kill enemies.

[grand ravine]

I'm not usually magey type, but val magic is pretty fun

[wooden tapir]

i find the ooze bombs pretty useful in mines

[grand ravine]

answer: yes

[keen cliff]

100%. i brought in a stack of 50

[sweet sedge]

hello in valheim do the sealbreaker fragments respawn at some point when you explore a mine after taking them?

[wooden tapir]

my first mine i found a 2 star seeker, it was behind one of those net things and i just used a lot of bombs

too scared to take it 1 on 1

[keen cliff]

my first mine had a 2 star tick. not as scary

[fallen zephyr]

So... you did the Infected Mines in oozy-mode? 😛

[keen cliff]

oozy-smashy

[grand ravine]

i don't think so. but the sealbreaker isn't consumed on use

[warm sandal]

I always do them in oozy mode 😄 to many ticks i have died to many times to ticks already 😄

[keen cliff]

okay, dropping off all this loot back at the base and refreshing rested buff. that door opened up some passages

[wooden tapir]

i have an abundance of boar meat that idk what to do with

[jagged wind]

it's prob deleted already 😅
couldnt find it

[keen cliff]

turnip stew is good base food. or you could feed a lot of wolves

[grand ravine]

sausages, and wolf food

[fallen zephyr]

It's an abundance until it isn't. Store it until you're confident you're beyond it.

[keen cliff]

weird. i haven't found a single mandible yet

[grand ravine]

i had a harder time getting mandibles than black cores

[keen cliff]

oh, lol. look at that rickety wood plank bridge over an abyss. i do not want to smack that with the hammer

gonna drop some ooze bombs down though

ahah yep, there you are you seeker bastards

aha, and i see the boss locater tablet down there

okay. 1st infested mine. 6 cores. 0 mandibles. 1 queen location.

[wooden tapir]

i might need to go recheck my first mine, it seemed kinda small so i might have missed some stuff

[grand ravine]

6 cores from first mine is pretty nice

[wooden tapir]

yea i only got 3

[grand ravine]

1-2 is not uncommon

[nova cape]

6 cores is very good

[keen cliff]

yeah, i'm totally happy with that. Now I just need to find some black marble to start building some stuff

[fallen zephyr]

Sounds like a gathering of ravens.

[keen cliff]

i need to get into some bigger, non rock island mistlands

[grand ravine]

sailing into mistlands is sub-optimal in any case

[fallen zephyr]

That's the trick! There are no significant Mistlands landmasses! It's AAALLLLLL horrible.

[sharp bluff]

eh, every now and then you are lucky

[keen cliff]

yeah, but i'm definitely only been exploring a specific type

[fallen zephyr]

How many thousands of hours have you played?

[sharp bluff]

mid-hundreds
and i have seen multiple large landmasses

[fallen zephyr]

Mid hundreds of thousands?! OMFG!

[grand ravine]

🤔 my current main seed has more big solid masses of mist than islands...

[keen cliff]

you can see i've only gotten small islands mostly, though the area bordering plains was semi promising: #screenshots message

[sharp bluff]

zzzzzzzzz

[fallen zephyr]

Text requires precision, my dude. Maybe less sleep?

[half dragon]

Crazy how many small islands

[keen cliff]

oh wait! i'm a moron. I can build a stone cutter and deconstruct the stairs into the infested mine?

[half dragon]

y

[grand ravine]

you're going the wrong way. go the right way.

[keen cliff]

lol damn you're right, how can i be so dumb

[sharp bluff]

im not in the mood to entertain you

[grand ravine]

hmmmmm. maybe

[wooden tapir]

we all have our moments

ive been there

[fallen zephyr]

I'm sorry, I thought I was entertaining you. I hope you get rest enough to find your energy again soon.

[keen cliff]

i'm gonna try. i only thought of it because i could smash it with my hammer and do damage. may not work

and it worked!

[grand ravine]

wooo

[keen cliff]

this is a lot of black marble

[grand ravine]

look at all those tasty recipes

[keen cliff]

i do wish the gjall would head over though, i can hear him in the distance but he's not making his way over

[grand ravine]

you only need maybe 319 stacks. to start.

[keen cliff]

haha. let start with crafting tables and i'll worry about building later

[grand ravine]

finnnneeeee

[keen cliff]

already got a stack, and stairs aren't even half gone.

[grand ravine]

oh nice

[keen cliff]

all the blocks underneath the stars and helpfuly marble too

[grand ravine]

now quick! find a real chunk of mistlands!

[fallen zephyr]

Everything I've ever built, ever, was beneath the stars. 😛

[keen cliff]

okay, i'm taking a break from deconstructing to see what I can build now

i'm probably missing some key stuff still

[grand ravine]

or were they actually.... above them? 🤔

[keen cliff]

mortar and pestle at least. that's helpful

[grand ravine]

meh, need puffs first. galdr table! gogogo

[keen cliff]

sadly yeah. one step at a time

[fallen zephyr]

I mean, you're right. Some of them definitely were when the Ashlands expansion released. My most southern base was inexplicably floating in the air.

[grand ravine]

how'd you manage that

[keen cliff]

okay, uncooked stuffed mushroom, uncooked meat platter

seeker aspic, not that i can use magic yet

oh snap, i can make the black forge

haha bros attacking.

[fallen zephyr]

I did nothing. It was just that the area I thought was clearly outside of Ashlands was actually in Ashlands and got absolutely wrecked by the update.

[keen cliff]

wolves killed them already

one star fuling berserker did a number on the wolf population however

[fallen zephyr]

[grand ravine]

lol oof

[rugged mica]

I spent about 4 hours taming a 1* asksvin, then the second I throw a saddle on it and take it out of its pen in order to bring another one in to tame, it runs off and gets itself killed. Is there no way of commanding it to be passive unless attacked? Most frustrating moment in gaming for me in years

[fallen zephyr]

I feel you. Taming is absolutely awful in Valheim. Whatever the limts to taming are, they need to be much more explciit, and consistent.

[vocal rivet]

Taming takes 30 minutes for all mobs. It's fairly consistent.

[half dragon]

Just treat tamed animals like they are self destructive toddlers and you're good to go

[keen cliff]

ooo i can make an arbalest

[fallen zephyr]

Consistent in terms of how tamed creatures can be used/commanded.

[keen cliff]

i'm gonna need more iron

[fallen zephyr]

What if I want to have my chickens follow me? Why isn't that an option?

[rugged mica]

On paper yes, by "taming" I mean everything starting from finding a suitable askvin in a suitable place, without killing it and getting it into a safe pen in a very dangerous biome, till the moment you can get a saddle on it

[keen cliff]

why can't I launch chickens in a catapult at my enemies?

[fallen zephyr]

Slippery slope fallacy is slippery.

[grand ravine]

that's a bloody good question

[rugged mica]

I've never really bothered with taming in valheim, it has never seemed worthwhile, but learning that asksvin can traverse lava really made me want some. But man taming is terrible in this game. And then it can be dead in seconds, with you having incredibly little control

[keen cliff]

man, my wolf, boar, lox, chicken breeders definitely disagree that it's not worthwhile

my wolf army killed moder and yagluth for me. taming and breeding has been fun and useful

my wolf army deals with raids before I can even run over and check it out

[fallen zephyr]

Askvin and lava is tricky. The lava gives no indication of how deep it is and I've died numerous times on the back of a "lava-proof" Askvin.

[rugged mica]

Oh really... In that case forget it, I'm not even mad anymore knowing I can still die from lava on an asksvin

I also tried the catapults, theyre a fun idea but practically pointless and frustrating to use

[fallen zephyr]

I've not tried them yet; mostly because I can't see how they would be efficient. Ballistas are great, but catapults?! Why?

[keen cliff]

we obviously need trebuchets

[vocal rivet]

They're good for fortresses.

[fallen zephyr]

Compared to battering rams?

[vocal rivet]

Well, you don't take the door out with them, but sure.

[rugged mica]

And the battering ram? Why are you at the front of it? It squashes you into the door spikes, you then get mobbed by enemies the second the door breaks, get confused as to whether or not you're still attached to the thing and end up dying or feeling incredibly embarrased... Later on you go back to the catapult to destroy the inner door to spend the next 5 minutes trying to get it through the door!

I expected the explosive catapult rounds to be able to destroy the walls but no

[grand ravine]

#suggestions message

[vocal rivet]

That one I don't know.

[keen cliff]

I refuse to go into suggestiions now, knowing that Derek is banned. It's a silent protest.

The least effective protest.

[vocal rivet]

Why? I agree with the ban.

[keen cliff]

Even doubly so, then. I'll silenty protest even HARDER.

[fallen zephyr]

Shh! Protest more quietly.

[keen cliff]

hmm. i'm divided about the arbalest. low rate of fire does not compliment my horrendous aim

but getting that initial sneak attack where i can take my time does, since i often get the drop on mobs

[fallen zephyr]

If you can't shoot straight the arbalest is awful.

[keen cliff]

i can shoot straight at first. Then once i'm engaged by the enemy, all bets are off. 🙂

[fallen zephyr]

But a levelled crossbow skill and a Storm-Ripper will one-shot an unaware Askvin.

[grand ravine]

arbalest is like a sniper rifle. it's fun and handy but if an enemy sees you and isn't almost dead, just use something else

[keen cliff]

yeah, i'm considering if I want to pause my mistlands exploration to get more iron for this

[grand ravine]

it's basically hitscan

you can hit stuff so far away that it registers a hit but doesn't tick damage

it's quite fun

[keen cliff]

lol. i have been doing that with a regular bow in the plains. Generally against berserkers. they are big targets that I hit from WAY far out

i was wondering why they didn't move when i dinged them

[grand ravine]

when i got it and went to level skill up a bit, i went to my lox tower and shot a distant lox like 300 times

[fallen zephyr]

Before Ashlands, the arbalest was so much fun. I could pretty much empty a Fuling village from a distance without aggroing more than 3 of them at a time.

[grand ravine]

i dont have ripper yet 😦

[fallen zephyr]

(For reference, I'm a huge fan of the Sniper Elite game series, so this was right up my alley).

[grand ravine]

still needa find bonemaws

[fallen zephyr]

Run around the coast of Ashlands. Bonemaws are so very dumb; you'll find one in minutes.

[grand ravine]

i just have been on a skyrim stint. still need to find bonemaws and tame asksvins annddd find dyrnwyn parts and fight fader..

[keen cliff]

so deconstructing all the stairs and blocks outside the infested mine got me about 4 stacks of black marble. not bad

maybe 3.5

[tiny tiger]

How good is the arbalest against the gjall?

I’d like to hope it’s a one shot on the weak point but that sounds too op

[keen cliff]

regular gjall has 1500 health

[grand ravine]

very good if you can get a sneakshot to the belly.

[tiny tiger]

What’s the highest possible damage ?

[keen cliff]

well, what's the damage bonus for hitting the weak spot?

[tiny tiger]

Does root armor boost its damage or only bows

[grand ravine]

only bows

if you can sneakshot the belly it'll only take another 1-3 bolts to kill it. probably won't even have time to attack you.

[keen cliff]

so belly is "very weak"

which means it's x2 damage

what's the unaware damage bonus?

oh, based on weapon

[tiny tiger]

200 damage

[keen cliff]

3x on arbalest

[tiny tiger]

X2 for weak point

1200

[keen cliff]

so level 1 arbalest is 200 x 3 x 2

which is only 300 away from a 0 star gjall. not bad!

[tiny tiger]

lvl 4 is only 209 DMG lmao

[keen cliff]

of course, gjall tend to find me first

this doesn't factor in skills however. i don't know if crossbow skill improves arbalest damage. i assume so?

[tiny tiger]

Even a lvl 4 ripper at 229 can’t take out a gjall

I think that should be changed tbh

[keen cliff]

i dunno. gjall are supposed to be uber in the mistlands. and if you're sniping it with a ripper, finishing it off is no big deal

[tiny tiger]

Lvl 4 ripper stealth kill + weak point and it’s Ashland’s tier

[grand ravine]

nahhhh, being able to one-shot a gjall is less fun

[keen cliff]

it's only 1 biome lower. not a crazy

[tiny tiger]

There’s only 1 biome above it

[grand ravine]

as it is you can keel em with 3 shots

[keen cliff]

right, lets assume we don't get the backstab bonus

[wooden tapir]

why do all my chickens huddle in 1 small little corner?

[tiny tiger]

Can you get backstab on gjall weak point with ranged?

[keen cliff]

3 shots from an arbalest is pretty strong to take it out

assuming all 3 hit in the weak spot

[tiny tiger]

Only 2 tho?

Coz it’s 1200 + 400?

[grand ravine]

idt all 3 hits need to be belly even. i stop aiming that carefully after it's moving toward me

[fallen zephyr]

You can get a bonus from unaware. Is that what you mean?

[grand ravine]

2 belly shots prolly take it out

[tiny tiger]

Max possible damage is 1200* right

So 1200 + 200x2 when a gjall has 1500 hp is a 2 shot

with a 200 dmg crossbow*

[grand ravine]

you can't get unaware bonus twice...and 200 is max damage at lvl 100 crossbows skill. still, point is, crossbows are very effective for gjalls

[fallen zephyr]

Anecdotally, if I get a surprise shot on a Gjall, I can kill it in three shots with the Arbalest (skill level variable).

But all of them need to hit the belly.

[fleet scaffold]

What is an efficent way to haul in ore from an inland area? Basically set up a temporary portal?

well not portal unless you have that setting changed, but so no portal

[tiny tiger]

Have a straight road to the coast and a boat waiting

if mountain cart downhill to nearest coast

[distant field]

Cart. Unless it's small amounts, then just run with as much as you can carry.

[keen cliff]

i had a few spots where running with some ore, portalling back, repeat, was more efficient. the landscape wasn't good for cart at all

[fallen zephyr]

A cart. It's designed to be useful for mass-transit.
Gravity is your friend. Any time you can move stuff down-hill is good.
Alternatively, play with a friend. Encumbrance-swapping is a great way to move stuff faster.

[fleet scaffold]

yeah it an area where cart ain't gonna work, gonna have to search around closer to home or coast for more copper

[distant field]

I will generally put a workbench, portal, and a couple of chests by the shore, one chest will have boat supplies. Portal so that I can return to base at night.

[fleet scaffold]

yeah I got a dock set up north of my starting base. I need to pick a new spot to just re-build main base that near ocean so it a one stop go instead of carting back

I think my boat is full of tin at moment though, so that nice, but tin never my issue

[keen cliff]

you can always spend some time with the hoe and leveling a road for the cart, if you like your base location where it is

but a coastal base is normally the way to go

[distant field]

Then at each ore location I'll do a bench and a chest (or if actively mining/collecting ore, another portal, again so I can return to base at night). And was all sites are fully mined/collected, I will then start moving each individual chest of ore to the closest one to the shore, before then moving everything there to shore.

[fallen zephyr]

100%. A good jetty is worth the effort.

[sharp bluff]

yeah, an inland base has to be a reeeally nice spot to make up for the lack of direct shipping

[distant field]

How much landscape prep I do and whether I use a cart or not, will depend on the ore quantity.

[fleet scaffold]

yeah it just my starting base, really small and tight just so able to produce what I need for now. I think I know where I want to re-locate to, re-setting up everything shouldn't take more than 2hrs

[grand ravine]

everything good takes more than 2hrs. except coffee.

[fleet scaffold]

nah I know my layout for "starter"

[distant field]

One Swamp I paved into, but that had like 50 stacks of iron in the crypts we'd cleared (and there's still more to clear).

[fleet scaffold]

now granted it'll take me days to then build up what I want

oh I just realized I think I have enough troll fur to finally finish upgrading

[fallen zephyr]

If it's helpful, (PC option incoming) you can hold down <SHIFT> when you use the hoe to level ground and it will average the level with each click (practically, this makes a good slope).

[grand ravine]

troll rugs when

[distant field]

Our main base is 'inland' on an island in a river. A really nice location.

[fleet scaffold]

and I just found a copper deposit next to where i parked my boat, I missed

[distant field]

I learnt this way too late, lol.

[fleet scaffold]

Shift sets it to the land you standing on I thought, and no-shift flattens based on where you pointed

[final bloom]

Can I find asksvins eggs by itself? or do I need to breed them?

[distant field]

No, shift 'smooths' and no-shift just levels.

Or, in other words, if you are making a ramp, without shift you get steps, with shift you don't.

[fallen zephyr]

Try it running up a hill. If it helps, great; if not, you do you.

[smoky mango]

We have a boss mother, inside the dark lands

[fallen zephyr]

That's an awesome opener for a D&D game! But, for Valheim... what?

[fleet scaffold]

oh that hurts, I forgot my nails for the cart....

[fallen zephyr]

Manicures are important.

[grand ravine]

moder ran into mistlands

[smoky mango]

(

[grand ravine]

google translate is flawless.

[smoky mango]

We can't get the silver out(

[grand ravine]

where is mother? in mountains, or in mist?

[smoky mango]

In the mountains , around which the misty lands

[grand ravine]

has mother been killed before? finding a different mountain may be better right now

[fallen zephyr]

Do you want some help?

[smoky mango]

Don't kill

Why was I been muted, for Russian?

[vocal rivet]

If you weren't given a reason, you probably just accidentally trigerred the automod with a word in its database.

[sharp bluff]

and the automod can be extremely triggerhappy at times

[vocal rivet]

It's got a lot of words, in several languages.

[sharp bluff]

some names too

[fallen zephyr]

What's the Welsh term for "I'm going to bed"?

[sharp bluff]

which may or may not be identical with words

[smoky mango]

The misty lands are hard

[grand ravine]

it may be better to find a different mountain right now, and go back to find moder when you're ready

[grand ravine]

yes, best to stay away until later

[smoky mango]

So we have 400 silver there

[grand ravine]

can you sneak it out?

[proper prism]

Mist can be very annoying if you’re unlucky enough to run into a variety of the creatures of the biome at the same time

[smoky mango]

We are marching our way in the form of plains, hooray

[smoky mango]

It's very difficult now, but right now we'll try to do it across the plains

[fallen zephyr]

What?! You can't sneak when you're encumbered, and 400 silver is multiple trips.

[grand ravine]

how many people? do you have belts?

[smoky mango]

2

[grand ravine]

👍 good luck!

[smoky mango]

Thanks...

[fallen zephyr]

I would suggest encumberance switching, then. Have one person carry it all to their stamina max while the other guards their progress, then switch roles.

Repeat.

[smoky mango]

Damn wolves

[smoky mango]

What???

[fallen zephyr]

Or, use a cart. They're pretty useful on mountains because you can just push them down the hill and then collect everything and recreate at the bottom.

[smoky mango]

We all found direct contact between the black forest and the mountain

[fallen zephyr]

Have one of your two people carry all of the silver until their stamina runs out. Then drop it all and have the other person pick it up. Whoever is not carrying the silver protects the other player from enemies.

[smoky mango]

Our progress does not allow us to kill enemies from the misty lands, we are find way out

[fallen zephyr]

[wooden tapir]

will fish despawn?

like if i see a big fish, can i go back later to fish it?

[wooden tapir]

fishing at night is hard, cant see anything

[keen cliff]

fish don't despawn. if you see them in a spot, you can come back

does anyone know if you can see what day number it is anywhere? if you miss it when a new day starts

[grand ravine]

jump off of something really high and look at your death marker?

[keen cliff]

great idea

[grand ravine]

XD

[true tartan]

alternatively, you could just sleep

[keen cliff]

yeah, the scenario is i just did sleep, but i missed it, and i wanted to check the weather for the day using a web site

[true tartan]

i didn't know that was possible

[keen cliff]

yes, weather is preset based on the day

https://jerekuusela.github.io/valheim-weather/

[near furnace]

yes. because it's against our #rules-and-info

automod removes 1000's of words

[sharp bluff]

does the name of a former us president still trigger the automod when used as verb?

[near furnace]

yup

[sharp bluff]

that one is a bit overkill tbh
instant mute for that is eh

[near furnace]

it's a 10 minute mute tho

[sharp bluff]

yeah, which is hyper annoying when you have a conversation

[near furnace]

and most of the times, our mods will see the auto-mod trigger and remove the timer

[dim crane]

just killed some loxs

[near furnace]

autmod isn't perfect

[dim crane]

on my way to that lox fur cape

[sharp bluff]

its the opposite of perfect. shame on the idios which make it necessary

[near furnace]

well..........................

people have agreed to follow the rules 😄

but yeah

here we are

[serene talon]

why can't i change my server profile display name anymore?

[sharp bluff]

well, you know the thing with rules xd

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/ytp-spiderman-meme-spider-man-enflure-de-renard-shrug-gif-gif-9827614528379092425

[sharp bluff]

ill steal that one

[wooden tapir]

i finally found a 5 fish

i kinda figured it would be a 5, took all 230 stamina in like 2 sec

[sharp bluff]

yeah, you kinda need to cheese those

[dim crane]

when is the best time to find a serpant to fight? i haven't seen one in almost 300 days of this world

[foggy glacier]

you'll only see them in the Ocean biome, and only at night or during a thunderstorm.

[dim crane]

ok, thanks

[merry pebble]

best to go on ocean in night when there is a storm, it raises your chances

[dim crane]

ok, i'll give that a try

and also, where is the best place to find chains?

[wooden tapir]

yea i had to cast my line like 3m out, and spam e as i reeled it in

[keen cliff]

Swamp chests or wraith drops

[dim crane]

alright

[hot bolt]

anyone know the technical details of boar breeding? Not simply 'you get two boars, tame them, feed them and boom! ' but actuall details like: After feeding, how many seconds to get hearts? after hearts how many seconds or % chance a piglet will spawn?

[merry pebble]

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

[hot bolt]

That is still not specific enough to answer my question

"After gaining enough love points, the creature becomes pregnant, which is not visualized. After a set time, the creature gives birth" okay how many love points are needed? what is the "set time"

[merry pebble]

did you scroll down?

[hot bolt]

What is "enough" love points? What is "set time"

[merry pebble]

we dont know

[livid zenith]

Scroll down and it tells you

[merry pebble]

you can count it if you want, its indicated by the hearts

[foggy glacier]

not sure about boars, but as I recall from Lox, it's about 3x pink hearts showing then about two in-game days to give birth.

[merry pebble]

and you have set time uder it

[hot bolt]

Definitely not 2 in game days. Just watched the same pig give birth 5 times in 1 day

[foggy glacier]

actually, the others are correct. if you scroll down, it says exactly how many and how long.

[livid zenith]

There’s a table on the wiki that tells all the numbers

[vocal rivet]

pregnancy: { points: 3, time: 60, chance: 0.33, grow: 3000, childId: 'Boar_piggy' }

[hot bolt]

Ok so something like Every 30 seconds, 33% chance to get a love point. After 3 love points 60 seconds later it will birth a piglet

[livid zenith]

Yes

[hot bolt]

with 4 pigs doing that, pretty much can get a steady stream of piglets coming in

[livid zenith]

Probably

[hot bolt]

lol

[proper prism]

Need to expand my hill so I can breed some boars in there. Wondering how I’ll get them up there tho 🤔 harpoon?

Can you drag animals up walls with harpoon?

[keen cliff]

You need a ramp. Roof tiles work. Harpoon and pull them up. I did it with just pushing a boar before. With fencing to keep them on the ramp.

[proper prism]

Good stuff

Might just build an off hill farm tho

So I won’t have to mess with that all the time

[keen cliff]

If possible you can/ should dig a deep pit. That's 8 meters of the 10-12 you need.

So your tower isn't huge

Depends on how close the spot is to sea level.

[proper prism]

It’s pretty close so I’ve raised my hill pretty high

[keen cliff]

My wolf/ boar farm is at sea level so I had a big ramp lol.

The second wolf farm I built I could dig down. Way nicer

[proper prism]

I just want food

So boar and lox. And chickens when we kill yagge

[keen cliff]

Wolf meat is great eventually also.

Wolf skewers and wolf jerky.

Not to mention you breed an army. 🙂

[wooden tapir]

howd you get chickens without killing yag?

[keen cliff]

I got eggs from sealed tower before killing Yag

[proper prism]

Oh yeah that’s great hp right?

[proper prism]

Read it again

[wooden tapir]

ah thats fair

[wooden tapir]

ah

[proper prism]

Need to make it bat and drake safe tho.. first time I bred chickens I got a bat raid that wiped all of them out 😂

[keen cliff]

Yep. All my farms are closed.

[proper prism]

No risks!

[wooden tapir]

yea i honestly made a small house for them

[proper prism]

One of the players in my group never learn. Lost soooo many animals to flying raids 🤣

“But they feel better if they can run free in nature”

[keen cliff]

lol

[proper prism]

Ok buddy. But you’ll feel worse because you’ll have no food 🤣

[nocturne wolf]

Put some nature in the building

[wooden tapir]

my chickens live nicer than i did

[proper prism]

I play this other survival game and I notice them taking stuff from each other (or probably from all of the other billion survival games out there) but I like seeing something in game 1 that I want in game 2 and vice versa and then it comes just like they’re just monitoring each other

[distant field]

It’s almost as if game devs are gamers. lol

[proper prism]

Some are atleast

It shows when they’re not 😂

[wooden tapir]

how do i get my chikens to stop grouping in a corner?

[proper prism]

[wooden tapir]

back to the mistlands! with blackmetal this time

can i smelt the copper stuff from mistlands with a normal forge?

[livid zenith]

Yes

[wooden tapir]

huge, that makes stuff 10x easier

idk how mistlands usually is, but the one i found is scattered with so much old weapons and armor

[livid zenith]

There’s usually a lot of those in the flat areas

[wooden tapir]

thats fair

found a lot of roots with swords in them as well

[foggy glacier]

so I just discovered that fishing bait counts as a launched object. I casted too close to my dome.

[silk igloo]

I started looking for swamps at day 26
Its day 29

What am I doing wrong

[foggy glacier]

are you sure you're looking far enough out from centre? I usually find lots of swamps long before I find Haldor.

Just go sailing around in your Karve. Swamp are almost always on a coast.

you have to be at least 2000m out from centre.

[warped umbra]

When that was happening to us it was because chickens are afraid of fire even though they're tame. Yet.. their eggs need fire to hatch.. is weird

[wooden tapir]

oh interesting

thats probably what it is

[vague kernel]

Is anyone able to join my server and give me bronze? Im on xbox

[livid zenith]

Spawn it in

[vague kernel]

How?

[livid zenith]

I don’t know how to do console commands on console, you can probably google it

[vague kernel]

Ok thanks

[vocal rivet]

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

[vague kernel]

Nun of them work

[livid zenith]

You need to type “devcommands” first to enable it

[vague kernel]

Yea

I did it still don't do nun

[wooden tapir]

i put off grinding barley because i had a full chest, forgot that stuff goes by fast

[livid zenith]

you should be able to type “spawn bronze [amount you want]” assuming you’re server host

[vague kernel]

Yeah I found it now I opened the wrong thang

[wooden tapir]

how long does it take for fish to respawn?

[livid zenith]

They spawn in like any other creature, usually about a 50% chance every about 2 minutes but you could check the wiki for better information

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones?so=search this is information on every spawn including fish

[wooden tapir]

ohhh ty ty

[vague kernel]

Also if you enable explore can you turn it off?

Thanks

[wooden tapir]

does each angler fish only make 1 fish and bread no matter the grade?

[livid zenith]

Yes

[latent gorge]

The thing about playing modded valheim is hard to get back to vanilla 🤣

[sinful fulcrum]

I just had the worst death, was in top of mountains and as soon as I was about to eat again, an ice golem pushed me, and I felled like 5km

I got executed in the worst way possible, and my portal was in my backpack

[latent gorge]

RIP 🪦

[atomic frigate]

how do you get the cart to stop flying...

nvm

ok its flying again

[smoky fjord]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=breeding&scope=internal&navigationSearch=true

[plush umbra]

Guys what's this weird stone thing of water with stairs in the swamp?

[pallid arrow]

i forgot what is called spawn Hilder camp?

*hildir

nvm i found it

[jovial anchor]

are bows/crossbows useful in ashlands? If so which one should I make?

[lusty dirge]

I like the root fang. With a high enough bow skill you can shoot fast enough to lock single enemies (like bossed) effectively in place.

[untold knoll]

not really imo. maybe late into it. or unless you have really high range or doing range only

[jovial anchor]

I feel their is a lot of cool GOT mods to be done with this game

[latent gorge]

With the green torch right? If so it’s nothing, don’t jump into the water, you will get stuck

[shy marlin]

xbow, excellent opening burst dps, can help make it so the hoards pretty much get an automatic -1 to their count, which can be the difference between surviving and dying

[balmy seal]

Deep North when? 😄

[rotund dust]

The Adventures of Beer (Myself) Steak (My Son) and Mushroom (My Daughter) just found 5 Black Cores, and are getting excited to move into Mistlands Gear. We so hyped!

Mushroom wants to play a Mage, with Fire Staff, is it Viable?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, especially in a group

[nocturne pasture]

okok, Valheim Devs, I understand the lack of Iron that you like always have in this game. its fine, its okay. you added some veins into Swamp. Great. I got used to it. But there is zero point zero Reason to make Soft Tissue a Bottleneck. Add more Soft Tissue sources or let me craft it or something. Its annoying af.

[nocturne wolf]

You can get it from the crates in dvergr structures

[nocturne pasture]

2 in one crate lol

[robust delta]

yeah it'll be good. it becomes a lot weaker in the ashlands though due to the nature of the enemies there. be mindful that has knockback for better and worse

[jovial anchor]

kinda a weird question but signs look pretty boring anyone have any ideas how I can make them look better?

[nocturne wolf]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UIE-supported-tags.html

You can use the color tag, and a few others to make your signs look better

[young nacelle]

Morning folks ^^

[white patio]

Mornin

[young nacelle]

I recently picked up Valheim after a long hiatus , Ashlands is out now and im eager to see all the cool new stuff

(when im finished with building a nice home)

[white patio]

You looking for a dedicated server by chance?

[young nacelle]

im mostly playing SP

but as soon my home is done , i probably host a server

[white patio]

Ah yea I’m trying to get some kind of PvPvE server going

Solo ashlands is tough stuff

[young nacelle]

You give me an idea , i might build an arena

[white patio]

That’s what I’m trying to get at my man

Slight rp have tourneys and stuff

Good weapons for prizes or something for winner idk

[young nacelle]

That sounds like a cool idea

Im currently building my main mansion on the shores of the starter island , not far from Spawn

i kinda wanna expand this into a town

[white patio]

Yea I’d send a screenshot of what I’ve got so far on this server but I’m on Xbox so idk how

[young nacelle]

Thank god there is creative building , otherwise id be hauling materials forever

[white patio]

Oh yea for sure

[young nacelle]

Same

[white patio]

Carts are always fun

[young nacelle]

GT is Tyrael01

[young nacelle]

Do they still flip in the frequency of rally cars?

[white patio]

Yep

[young nacelle]

Well it wouldnt be valheim with all the jank inbetween 😄

[white patio]

What’s your gamerpic?

[young nacelle]

Masterchief

[white patio]

Thought so

[young nacelle]

imma post a screenshot when im home today evening 😄

[white patio]

Nice I’m working on a pretty big build atm just farming up mats

[young nacelle]

I played Valheim for 700 H on steam before

Approximately 600 was cracking ROCK AND STONE coughs

or choppin wood

but i couldnt be bothered with doing this all over again , so i went creative mode

[white patio]

ROCK AND STONE yesssir love it

Very true I just get my smooth brain itched with my skills leveling

[young nacelle]

i managed one time to get 7 trees down like dominos

and then they rolled into my house, cracked open the wall

[white patio]

Always fun seeing em fall down together and save a bunch of time

Get trolls to do it for ya

[near furnace]

We added a world modifier for people who don't like to mine so much. Bigger drop rates 😎

[pure blaze]

do tree stumps remain forever or do new trees grow out of them?

[azure yacht]

They remain

[serene talon]

they remain to show your progress when you can overlook an entire forest of stumps

[fair cairn]

also to get stuck on and break your cart while trying to avoid a confrontation with a troll
