[merry pebble]

i believe that there are tips on the sides of your screen when you open map

[sharp sail]

@covert meadow I tried to call to see if I can help but no answer

[covert meadow]

All good, I just got new ones

Built my first little home. It looks like shit but yeah

[distant field]

When you landed in the area with the stones, did you see the raven?

[covert meadow]

Yep

I’m trying to figure out how to craft weapons like swords, axes etc

Though I’m guessing I just have to explore and pick up new resources I find?

[merry pebble]

you can craft some stuff right from your inventory, try to make and hammer and see what you can do from there 🙂

[covert meadow]

Yeah, I have a hammer so far 🫡

[nocturne wolf]

You can gather flint for better tools, it spawns near and in water.

[covert meadow]

👍🏻

[distant field]

Keep on crafting what you can, collecting new resources, and paying attention to what the raven tells you.

[covert meadow]

Also, about weapon variety, are swords widely used here? Since it’s a Viking game, I’m assuming it’s mostly axes and such

Though I like swords better

[merry pebble]

oh yes, swords are pretty widely used 🙂

[covert meadow]

Awesome, can’t wait

[merry pebble]

axes can be used as weapons and they are also tools so if you want to save slots you can just use them tho 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

Both are good weapons with different advantages and disadvantages

[distant field]

There’s a good variety of weapon types that cater to different play styles.

[nocturne wolf]

Different shield types are best for different play styles too, don’t just use the shield everyone tells you to use

[distant field]

I’d apply that to a lot of things in the game - you may see a lot of X weapon is best - but that entirely depends on your play style.

[grave mural]

except for fenris claws

[distant field]

And feather capes.

Obvs.

[river forge]

No weapon or shield is the best

You have to stay well fed and keep your wits about you, and run like mad if things go south

Even a greydwarf can bring you low

[covert meadow]

Good to hear

This game seems so vast lol. How many hours have you guys put into this?

[river forge]

a lot on diff servers

Modded can be fun too

[nocturne wolf]

Over 800

[river forge]

what's your worst death?

[covert meadow]

Are there any mods i should install on my first playthrough?

[river forge]

None

Play vanilla first

[covert meadow]

Alright!

[nocturne wolf]

Play without mods for the first time so you can learn how the game works and don’t experience the bugs mods can cause

[river forge]

Mine was baiting a deathsquito

I lured it, was waiting for the right moment to swing and wallop it, and a greydwarf had thrown a rock at me from behind, staggered into the deathsquito sting

[nocturne wolf]

My worst death was to the queen the second time I fought her because that’s the only time I’ve died to a boss

[river forge]

That's a lie

[nocturne wolf]

What’s a lie?

[river forge]

Never dying to bosses except queen once

Pull the other one lmao

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t died to any bosses except when I fought the queen for the second time. ||It was my first time using magic and I focused too much on skeletons that were dying instantly instead of using elemental staves, so I didn’t have enough eitr to protect myself.||

[river forge]

You claim you killed all the bosses and didn't die once to any except a 2nd queen

[stoic matrix]

Anybody know if there’s a way to adjust the view distance of dverger lanterns? I’m ok with them being less bright than torchers (well more like acceptance haha) but it drives me crazy how the light itself doesn’t kick in until you are closer whereas torches produce their light affect further away

[grave mural]

that seems entirely plausible

[nocturne wolf]

They’re really not that hard…

[grave mural]

sometimes folks arent bad at the game

[river forge]

You have to practice bosses

[nocturne wolf]

I did, by fighting them more cautiously until I had learned their behaviour

[grave mural]

theyre pretty predictable if you just keep some distance for a minute

[river forge]

Everyone dies to elder at least a few times

[nocturne wolf]

How? With the right food and preparation he dies fast and does low damage.

[grave mural]

the gear you get from the black forest also kinda puts you way past the elder already

[vocal rivet]

Disagree.

[river forge]

If you get caught once by the elder's ranged attack it's a death

If a troll happens by, which happens to me a lot, it makes it harder

[grave mural]

i dont think its an instakill with troll armor even

[nocturne wolf]

You can block it quite easily

[river forge]

A plant whacking you by surprise

[grave mural]

also the big pillars kinda hint that he will have a ranged attack

[river forge]

There's more ways to die in valheim than odin has names

[nocturne wolf]

He doesn’t even use it unless you get too far away

[grave mural]

to be fair my instinct with bosses isnt to get up close and personal

[river forge]

No because elder will one shot stomp you

[nocturne wolf]

It doesn’t one-shot you, last time I fought him I took an unblocked hit and was fine

[grave mural]

yeah i dont think its that bad

if anything i had a harder time with bonemass

but thats cause i did not at all take into account hisweaknesses

actually i dont remember if i died or just ran away

[boreal stone]

People have landed spacecraft on the moon on the first try. I think some people are capable of beating the bosses without dying.

[hidden gorge]

its only one at a time -- but what I do is have some signposts (so I don't forget) for the names of other portals, and then use one portal at my base for a handful of others throughout the world, and just change the name when I need to go somewhere else

[hidden gorge]

if elder is one shotting you that means 1.) you need better food, and 2.) you need better armor ||and 3.) simply stop getting hit -- his summoning pit has 4 indestructible pillars you can infinitely hide behind.||

[crimson cradle]

do you have rag armor on or something?

his stomp deals like 50 damage with no armor

and even with like yellow mushrooms, red mushrooms, and raspberries you could survive that

[nocturne wolf]

#steam-bugs-discussion message @jovial estuary You need some better food

[jovial estuary]

like what lol

[nocturne wolf]

Have you started farming turnips? You’ll need them for a cauldron improvement and without it you’ll never be able to make food from the biome you’re at.

[jovial estuary]

I just did

[nocturne wolf]

Also, try not to eat 3 foods of the same stat. Have at least one health and one stamina.

[jovial estuary]

I know, I'm just worried about wolves

I had a "You are being hunted" event like 10 minutes ago. I would have died without all my health

[nocturne wolf]

With better food you’ll be able to have high health even with one stamina food

It isn’t the biggest issue but getting better food when you can will potentially save some future deaths

[nova cape]

ooh like the new wiki reskin

quick question - the recent patch spawn rate "tweaks" - is there any quantitative description of how things changed? It seems to be somewhat subtle from some brief playing in the Ashlands. Just curious what the "tweaks" were. Slightly more twitchers, fewer askvin? Not sure

[frozen fable]

do any of you bother to make the iron axe?

[vocal rivet]

Of course, why wouldn't you?

[vocal rivet]

The tweaks are to the spawn interval (how often a zone tries to spawn a certain mob) and the spawn chance (how likely a spawn is when the interval is reached).

Glad you like the Wiki reskin, we've worked a little while on that.

[nova cape]

looks really nice!

[nova cape]

okay, that makes sense. Is there any granularity available on how the spawn interval and spawn chance have changed for the individual enemy types?

[vocal rivet]

• Reduced spawn amount for Asksvin
• Tweaked spawn chance for Twitchers
• Tweaked spawn chance for Charred Archers
• Tweaked spawn chance for Charred Melees

Don't have the exact numbers, I'm afraid.

[nova cape]

okay so it is reduced amount for askvin? https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-218-21/ on here it just says "tweaked" for all of them

I did get the impression that there were smaller groups of askvin

[vocal rivet]

My quotes came from the PTB patchnotes as they were slightly more descriptive.

[nova cape]

ah okay, well thank you! If you come across anything more detailed I'd certainly be interested in hearing. Do we think that the other "tweaked" spawn chances are reductions or a mix and match of slight increase, slight decrease?

[vocal rivet]

I think they're all reduced slightly. We had a patch that was even more reduced, but we felt that went too far.

[nova cape]

cool, thanks for the information! I think the new patch seems pretty reasonable from what recent time I've spent in the Ashlands

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, it's been met pretty favourably to be honest. It seems to have magically satisfied people on both sides of the argument.

[nova cape]

Yeah I think it's subtle enough to not change the feel too much, but it can be helpful to not encounter quadruple Askvin spawns, especially for people new to the biome

Anyways, thanks for the info! much appreciated, ttyl

[keen cliff]

So I spent some time setting up a blood magic greydwarf farm which got me from 20 to 72 over the weekend. Also got me a ton of wood, stone, and greydwarf eyes. Highly recommended!

OG post 😄

[tribal wind]

is that a modonly channel or why does it show no access for me? 😅

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[near furnace]

no. it's the public-test channel

[tribal wind]

nice thanks

[buoyant ether]

guys is it possible to see stats of my dedi server?

like if someones touched my shit for example

[nocturne wolf]

You can see when people logged in but not what they've done

[buoyant ether]

damn

someones been taking my stuff when my ward wwas broken but no one admitting to it

[near furnace]

yeah sadly no real way

[buoyant ether]

btw once in mtns i had a raid event which had two humanoids, fully black with glowing eyes like fenrings attacked me

could've that been a bug so that they were fenrings but only theyr animation skeletons visible ?

im not sure but i dont think i had mods back then

mtns night time

had a lengthy discussion about it here and no one else seem to have seen that kind of humans looking in game

[nocturne wolf]

The raid with fenrings only happens after defeating geirrhafa. Had you done that?

If not it must’ve been a mod

[buoyant ether]

back then i hadnt no

[mint bluff]

i think herobrine is in your game

[stiff ibex]

whats yall favorite biome?

[slender rover]

Mountains for me

[tribal wind]

meadows

[mental echo]

Plains

[tribal wind]

Don't really like the grass color in plains

[untold knoll]

iv noticed blobs are harder to pop. i used to get up in front of them and they pop. but now if i dont time it right after landing they wont pop but just jump again. is that what the interval is about?

[tribal wind]

I think the interval is saying how long it takes until they can respawn, tho I am quite new on here so I am not sure

[stiff ibex]

me too, I built my house in the plains

[untold knoll]

mistland is my fav biome. but i like building in the forest.

if ashland wasnt so dark id like it more

[primal pebble]

how many arrows would it take to make my bow skill lvl 100

[tacit crown]

Too many

[mental echo]

20-30,000 probably

[river forge]

anyone used magicplugin a lot?

[merry pebble]

if it is a mod then someone in #mods-discussion might have 🙂

[wicked shoal]

Hi

[inland skiff]

ᚷᛟᛟᛞ ᛗᛟᚱᚾᛁᚾᚷ, ᚠᛖᛚᛚᛟᚹ ᚡᛁᚴᛁᚾᚷᛋ.

[nova cape]

oooh cool to see this - thank you!

[trail lotus]

dig a hole under you floor to hide you ward in it then cover it with floor it wont break

[buoyant ether]

who 👀

[buoyant ether]

good tip, thx man

[mint bluff]

its a minecraft guy

like a creepypasta pretty much where its a guy called herobrine who looks like steve but has white eyes and he just messes with your world

[buoyant ether]

might actually be him

how big is the range of ward?

mf's srsly took my low food supplies n shit 😭

[trail lotus]

hmm what food ?

[buoyant ether]

lox meat and stuff

and my poison potions 😭

[distant field]

you may want to consider 'personal chest's

[trail lotus]

i have lots (355) lox meat and some poison potion in a old game want me to give it to you ?

i dont use them

[buoyant ether]

i have

but modded all chests but ward should prevent

[buoyant ether]

will they come over if serv chars mod?

[trail lotus]

oh you have mod?

[buoyant ether]

yeeeee

some qol mods and cheat prevention

[trail lotus]

well unless we both deactivate ur mod its gona be hard

[distant field]

Another solution would be to maintain a local world that you use for storage - at the end of a session, put anything you want safe into your inventory, log out, load into your local 'storage world', put items in chest there, repeat as necessary.

[buoyant ether]

that would work yeah, thx for the tips and offer

any core keepee enjoyers? might get it

[trail lotus]

do you have a vanila world ?

[granite silo]

Hi, does anyone know if there is a Latin server?

[faint patio]

can someone help me and my friend kill yagluth

[buoyant ether]

yeee

kinda feels bad that someone comes on the server and wont be upfront about using some stugg

stuff

[hybrid orbit]

does anyone knows how much time does steam support takes for account recovery?

[buoyant ether]

how to tame loxes?

[vocal rivet]

Same way you tame other mobs, with food. They like most things that grow in the Plains: cloudberries, barley, flax.

[versed parcel]

how do I

disable crossplay

[trail lotus]

you just uncheck the option

look like you cant uncheck it lol😅

oh you can you need to click on start server then uncheck the cross play

[vocal rivet]

Well, no, it's a lot more complicated than that. If you're not using crossplay, you will probably need to sort your port forwarding.

[buoyant ether]

but theres more to it right, u gotta lure em and shit, i never tamed any animal

[nocturne wolf]

What are you playing on? It can only be disabled if you’re playing on pc with steam.

[versed parcel]

yeah no we're all playing on steam but

when I talked about a server issue I was having (which wasn't a connection issue) someone told me to disable crossplay

[buoyant ether]

how am i uspposed to get him into the trap ?

he just walking around it

[distant field]

With Lox, you can just provide them with food, and then stay close, but out of their way. They don’t move around a lot.

However the more generalised method is to aggro them then run away, into your trap, using yourself as bait.

[empty stirrup]

I have some serious question for balancing team... what in the world?

Just to make silver sword you need whopping 40 pieces of silver (and 5 metal!) ingots. It does 75 dmg (+30 silver that doesn't even proc on most of the enemies, not to mention slashing type of damage, which seems to do much worse compared to piercing)

To craft silver spear you neeed ...two ...just two pieces of silver. Exact same stats (apart from -100 durability and 30 silver dmg). Also piercing delivers a lot more pain to enemies like trolls, greydwarfs and wolfs.

Am I missing something here?

[buoyant ether]

i mean hes gonna attack me right ?

i heard u gotta trap them in a mound first

[buoyant ether]

wolfs arent weak to anything, and silver sword carries rather far dmg wise

all in all, its a good investment

[distant field]

They’ll certainly try to. Getting them to try to attack you is how you trap them.

[warm spruce]

hello, what happens if you free tamed boars?

[vocal rivet]

Free them? They just wander around.

[buoyant ether]

well that didnt work, he just walked around the mound and chased me, or tried to run away, at the edge of the mound

i was running around the mound tryna get him in

[empty stirrup]

I personally witnessed my friend taking swings at wolfs with bronze sword after he parried them - 2-4 hits per stunned wolf, with bronze spear it takes 1-2 hits to kill a wolf

[frail wagon]

i wonder if the new swamp leak thing is gonna be like. a 3rd merchant

[distant field]

Not sure what you mean by a mound. To trap them you need to build something around them. Earth walls work best, because they can’t destroy them.

[buoyant ether]

i mean a mound as in a hole in the ground

ahh so thats how its gonna be, thanks ! didnt think of that

[mortal storm]

if you want to get them in a hole you have to either build a path into it then block it or puta floor over it then destroy it once they are on it

or you can try to get them near it then push them back with blocking or something

[olive hill]

Where is all the mushrooms!!

Freakin rarest resource

[final bloom]

turn grass quality down

[merry pebble]

in meadows and black forest 🙂 if you find some mark them, they will respawn after some time, also turn grass graphics down and it will be easier to find them

[final bloom]

it helps seeing them

[olive hill]

Just as I said that I found 6

Thanks

[final bloom]

sometimes complaining also helps

[earnest oasis]

do egg farms work when not in render? i know growing does

[foggy glacier]

No. You need to be present for the hens to lay.

same as any other breeding animal.

[white sun]

Hey guys, Crossplay has stopped working since last patch it seems

are devs aware?

[vocal rivet]

Crossplay is managed by Microsoft.

[white sun]

Xbox s/s - xbox s/x also affected according to another reddit user

[vocal rivet]

Well yes, they all use the Playfab servers so it will affect all of them

[white sun]

ah okay, hopefully just an Playfab outage rather than long term problem, thanks mate

[vocal rivet]

.https://status.playfab.com/ is always a good place to look.

[merry pebble]

playfab doesent seem to hae any outage atm tho🤔 (^exactly what i am looking at right now :D)

[white sun]

Yeah, they had issues on 29th on US, we're all in UK. according to reddit big Playfab problems 7 days ago as well

Hopefully just a 1 night thing and maybe JUST happened hence no incidents reported

[velvet harbor]

does the poison damage from the draugrs fang stack/add with the poison damage from the poison arrow?

[fair cairn]

Microsoft again lol
I'm in a other server where every fee minutes some has a multplayer issue

[drowsy dawn]

anyone know when valheim will go on sale again?

[vocal jackal]

quick question: has anyone tried fighting the elder with the fire hazard world modifier on, then setting the trees on fire around the summoning location during the fight? would that a) work in dealing fire damage to the elder and b) not immediately kill you because forest fire and c) not be harder to set up than just fighting him normally

[serene hollow]

I think it would be harder to setup and execute than it is worth. Easy to kill with regular fires, weapons, etc. Nothing really challenging about the fight other than don't stand ranged and face tank the vines. Melee range makes him so easy.

[blissful stream]

i took a bit of a break. how do the ashlands spawns feel post update?

[vocal rivet]

General consensus is that it's still hard (as it should be) but a lot more manageable than it was.

[keen cliff]

The queen is dead. Time to make my way to Ashlands. Tomorrow maybe.

[nocturne wolf]

If you’re not using magic, bring a frostner or crystal battleaxe if you made one previously.

They’re good for 2-star charred warriors

[merry pebble]

or mistwalker

[nocturne wolf]

It doesn’t have enough knockback to keep you safe

[merry pebble]

knockback is overrated 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Not when it’s keeping you out of the hitbox of an attack that will kill you in one hit

It’s great for the unstarred enemies though

[keen cliff]

Thanks! I think I'm going to use magic. I used magic against the queen, and think it will be good in the ashlands.

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️ i have been doing fine with mistwalker even in early ptb ashlands

[keen cliff]

Though I will need to use a frost staff I guess. Since creatures are fire resistant

[nocturne wolf]

The blunt damage and aoe of your staff of embers means it’s a good weapon in many situations

[merry pebble]

indeed you still get 62,5% of dmg from the staff of embers 🙂

[keen cliff]

That's not so bad I suppose

[merry pebble]

yep, it still works just fine

[keen cliff]

Taking a break today. I'll setup a spot outside the ashlands tomorrow probably.

[nocturne wolf]

Like every other biome, if you’re jump attacking and dodging properly nothing can touch you in ashlands. Don’t forget to bring materials for a shield generator to keep your portal safe.

[keen cliff]

Will a stone hut help also?

[nocturne wolf]

With a shield generator, any material will do as long as the enemies aren’t trying to break in, which they won’t unless they’ve seen you.

[keen cliff]

Plan is to build a first portal on one of the rocks in a little hut before I land.

[river thunder]

:) frens

so on a server with friends. we just killed the elder. and im now making poison resists meads for when we find a swamp

[merry pebble]

Nice 😄 thats one of the first steps to success in swamp

[frozen fable]

has anyone noticed an increase in the amount of dead end corridors in crypts and burial chambers where there's nothing and the door/corridor leads to no treasure or items? It seems like since the patch more of these seem to ahve been generated, either that or i am having terrible luck, but i have never seen it this bad in 1225 hours of play

[river thunder]

i hate the constant greydwarfs at night rahhhh

[vocal rivet]

Nothing outside of Ashlands has changed.

[merry pebble]

That will unfortunately be a thing you have to live with 🙂 the more bosses you defeat the more different enemies will spawn at night

[river thunder]

we just killed the Elder so im curious what will spawn

[vocal rivet]

You'll get to learn what the Draugr are.

[river thunder]

well if skyrim has taught me anything. they are undead

[merry pebble]

You will be playing with them quite a lot in swamp 😁

[river thunder]

i already got killed by them lmao. we went to close to a tiny patch of swamp and died

[sinful fulcrum]

Parry them

[river thunder]

there was also a wraith or whatever attacking us it was chaos

[sinful fulcrum]

Ah those yeah

[river thunder]

ill tell ya tho. this game really has its peaceful moments. sitting in a building in the wild during a rain storm. or sailing to other islands or just relaxing and chopping trees to build

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, thats part of why i love the game so much 😄 on one hand, it can be incredibly relaxing and chill but then there are times when i have 2-3 trolls and 10 greydwarfs chasing be in only rag shirt 😁

[river thunder]

i found a trader! another living being!

[merry pebble]

Nice 😄 Now your life will be quite a bit easier

[sharp raptor]

That depends on which trader they found

[river thunder]

he sells something that adds more carryweight

[merry pebble]

Yep, thats Haldor 😄

[foggy glacier]

Haldor's got some good stuff. Be sure to go back every once in a while. He'll eventually sell other stuff as you progress.

[vocal rivet]

Both give great QOL improvements.

[echo wind]

The best item in the game

[tepid prawn]

no that would be the hammer 😛

[echo wind]

Fair point is fair

[fallen zephyr]

Anyone found any creative ways to use the lava lantern to light your houses? I'd like to see how people are working around no hanging options and not being able to attach to item stands. 🙂

[velvet harbor]

is the krom any good?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but you’ll need to be careful around starred enemies as you likely can’t block them

[velvet harbor]

okay

[velvet harbor]

js made the krom and arbalest pre-moder

[jovial estuary]

are we ever gonna get rid of the fandom wiki and get a dedicated one?

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[buoyant ether]

my chickens hatched, but what do i do with them now ? 💀 i put em in a troll cave

[nocturne wolf]

Feed them seeds or dandelions and they’ll lay more eggs

[opal prairie]

Wait till they turn from chicks to hens then either do what blobicycake said or slaughter them with the butcher knife / turning friendly fire on (you can train weapons a tad that way), for meat and feathers.
Don't slaughter all of them though you need at least 2 to make more eggs.

[distant field]

Make them into Honey Glazed Chicken.

[reef walrus]

Anyone down to join me on the insiders version of xbox valheim? It can be hard or normal i dont care just need someone to play with

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 but I'm curious why you specify the 'Insiders' version. There's no testing taking place.

[reef walrus]

Bc i cant revert back from the insiders version

[vocal rivet]

Of course you can.

[reef walrus]

Tried to

But sure i guess i can magically now

[opal prairie]

How have you tried to?

[final bloom]

Just making sure. The fact that the wind is always against me is purely confirmation bias, right?

[vocal rivet]

Yes, absolutely.

[final bloom]

Then it's personal

[opal prairie]

Exactly, wage war against the wind and use moder power any time you can even when you aren't sailing!

[final bloom]

I do, but Valheim is too harsh and after 5minutes it remembers me the world is against me, not in favor

[little lantern]

Pretty sure wind is hard coded to be in exact opposite direction for some steam user ID's including ours

I fr turn my boat and wind turns with me

[merry pebble]

I installed AdGuard on IOS specifically for the will. It helps 1000%

[vocal rivet]

When it's released, sometime in the next couple of years.

[bold cargo]

Lmao

[vocal rivet]

Why is that funny?

[warped umbra]

Yes, but just my sister and friend. Friend is the host so only he could have spawned him, but he didn't

[vocal rivet]

Are you positive? I'm not sure how else that could have happened

[warped umbra]

Yeah, he was pretty shocked
I was leaving to go get glands and then he heard me get spooked over vc

[river thunder]

boating :(

i just realized what this little arrow on the map is

[warped umbra]

Then we dug a pit, knocked reto in, and forced him to fight a 999 star troll and similar LITERAL GODS before he went down

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, he's one of the toughest mobs in the game. And shouldn't be anywhere near Black Forest

[river thunder]

im scared...

[merry pebble]

Yep, Its the Wind direction 🙂

[river thunder]

idk why the ocean is scaring me so much

[warped umbra]

I have clips of this encounter
But they're too big to share on discord

[outer swallow]

Good Morgen Gjall

[merry pebble]

Heh, i think most of people feel that way before their first boat trip 😄 at least i did and that was just going over a body of water that i would Now consider just a VERY big river 😁

[warped umbra]

I remember my first boating. I was transporting metal a not terribly far, or terribly near distance. I was sticking to islands in hopes of not encountering a serpent

[merry pebble]

My first sailing was for the Elder, and i didn't even know that serpents were a that time, yet i was still pretty nervous 😄

[distant field]

I was excited by my first sailing trip. It was the second sailing trip that I was nervous about.

Now I barely think twice about sailing solo halfway across the world.

[river thunder]

will boats stay anchored in the spot you left em

[distant field]

Yes.

[river thunder]

phew.

thanks

im on a tiny island rn waiting for night to pass

[distant field]

Be aware that mobs will attack the boat if they can’t get to you, but are active.

[river thunder]

:( there are no mobs here :D

[merry pebble]

nice 😄

wth

[near furnace]

Trolling isn't allowed here just so you know it.
some people will actually belive you

[amber yoke]

If I was planning on doing it, would it be trolling?

[near furnace]

[amber yoke]

Maybe we could incorporate trolls into the establishment. I mean, someone has to be into blue butts, right?

[next frost]

ive started playing valheim again

shit is wicked

[keen cliff]

that feeling when you just beat the Queen, but you gotta go back to the Black Forest to mine some copper and tin... lol

[near furnace]

or.. mistlands and destroy helmets and swords 🤔

[keen cliff]

yeah, but i can't get the mistlands stuff back to my base very easily. it's a pretty long boat ride.

[near furnace]

but but.. ashlands teleporters?

[keen cliff]

just beat the queen, but haven't stepped foot in the ashlands yet. this is prep for the journey 🙂

[hidden gorge]

You've just beat the queen, there's no excuse

[near furnace]

ah

[river thunder]

i find it kinda wierd you cant like. make a basic fishing rod first

[near furnace]

enjoy flash from the past then 😄

[hidden gorge]

What Ashland prep requires copper?

[keen cliff]

Bronze

[hidden gorge]

Same question

[keen cliff]

Artisan press and shield generator both need bronze and copper respectively

and i happen to be all out, so there ya go.

and it's fine, there's a BF i haven't explored a very short boat ride away. And it will be fun to feel over powered briefly before I get humbled in the Ashlands

[vocal rivet]

Not me hurriedly updating the Wiki.

[keen cliff]

were they missing that info?

[vocal rivet]

The Bronze and Copper pages were, yeah.

[little lantern]

Does ur weapon skill lvl increase ur dmg with it?

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[little lantern]

Been using knives all game, so my sword skill is lvl 0, but I really like Krom so time to lvl up

[sharp raptor]

Krom is a fantastic weapon but you'll level the skill faster with a 1 handed sword if you're going for XP gain

[little lantern]

yeah, think I'll make a bronze sword and farm in Black forest lol

Can you still hit rocks or did they patch that?

[sharp raptor]

Pretty sure they patched it but could always find a few spawners and level it that way.

[wooden tapir]

the only sword i have used all game was mistwalker and by the time i finished mistlands my swords was at liked 35 so it should level fairly quickly

[near furnace]

patched out

[frigid gust]

Tame a lox, grab a bronze sword, turn on friendly fire and hit your pet a lot 😛

[royal tendon]

Are ooze bombs really useful for anything? They seem to do very little damage

[nocturne wolf]

They do little damage, but can damage a lot of enemies at once.

[royal tendon]

Ahh of course

[keen cliff]

ooze bombs are great in certain dungeons

and you don't use ooze for much later anyways. might as well make the bombs 🙂

[royal tendon]

Wait can they damage me if i walk in the cloud

[keen cliff]

no, you are immune

[royal tendon]

Nice

[keen cliff]

yeah, ooze only makes ooze bomb, poison arrow, and muckshake. and ooze bomb is the best of the bunch by a lot IMO

[timber cobalt]

random question: is there a place we could DL Valheim builds that others have built to showoff in videos?

[fallen zephyr]

Is that really a random question? Or, do you have an entirely purposeful reason for asking?

[timber cobalt]

okay ill leave no worries.

[fallen zephyr]

There's a Valheim builds subreddit that might have value for you

[vocal rivet]

There are even build channels in THIS server...

[hidden gorge]

Don't think you can upload files though?

[vocal rivet]

No, but you can't share builds anyway, unless they're talking about sharing entire worlds.

[fallen zephyr]

I read 'build' as player builds (i.e. weapon/armour combos), not 'how cool is my house?!' builds.

[vocal rivet]

Ooh really?

[fallen zephyr]

Retrospectively reading the conversation, I feel like I may have been incorrect.

I'm a product of my upbringing. MMORPGs have a lot to answer for that I will be discussing with my psychologist in short order.

I've run with emos, and I've run with punks. I draw the line at mods!

[frigid gust]

Best place for that is in #1024264966712340510 🙂

[cold yarrow]

haha alr^^

[fallen zephyr]

(Seriously, though, #1024264966712340510 ).

[cold yarrow]

oh okay thanks :D

[fallen zephyr]

Even if you don't appreciate my humour, if you understood that joke you're old! 😛

[lethal jasper]

you can download builds and place them in your world

even copy your own and place them in others worlds with permission

[vocal rivet]

Only with mods.

[lethal jasper]

oh i didnt know we were talking modless srry!

[vocal rivet]

We'd be in #mods-discussion otherwise I'd presume.

[fallen zephyr]

Every channel outside of those specifically mentioning 'mod' in the title presume a vanilla game.

[cold yarrow]

wait, i am old now? OH DAMN

[fallen zephyr]

Even your handle suggests as much 😛

[lethal jasper]

yessr

[vocal rivet]

'handle' how old are YOU?

[fallen zephyr]

Let's just say my knees and back prefer the days when I spend more timing sitting than standing.

[vocal rivet]

Amen to that.

[distant field]

Might the changes to Ashlands spawn rates have also maybe changed where things spawn? Noticing Fallen Valks where I've not seen them before. Or possibly just in greater number (though I don't recall the detailed patch notes saying that).

[fallen zephyr]

Also, my first LAN party required coax cable and terminators.

[vocal rivet]

Shouldn't have done.

[distant field]

huh

[fallen zephyr]

In your defence, I'd agree that (anecdotally) Valkyries appear more frequent. I have no empirical data to support that.

[frigid gust]

BNC and token-ring FTW baby. Such a pain in the ass to set up and debug.

[velvet harbor]

what

its not that hard to get those that early tbh

[near furnace]

BNC ❤️

best when people bought the wrong end-caps that didn't have the correct resistance 😄

[frigid gust]

Oh man... I miss those days as much as I miss tuning the EMM386.SYS files to get the Soundblaster working 😛

[near furnace]

I didn't have soundblaster back then

I had some.. other 🤔

[frigid gust]

Yeah, there were a couple cards. You still had to make sure the memory was addressable so the games could play sounds.

[near furnace]

Matrox? 🤔

[fallen zephyr]

Oh Jesus! I've empowered the Boomers!

[near furnace]

I am a missing link between gen X and boomers 🤔

[frigid gust]

I thought Matrox was mostly a GPU company, but they might have had sound cards as well

Yeah. I'm an "elder millenial" myself

[near furnace]

possibly

trying to remember the cards back then

Soundblaster, soundblaster 16, soundblaster AW32

uum

Gravis UltraSound

that's the one

[frigid gust]

I think AdLib was a company back in the day, Soundwave, couple smaller manufacturers

Ahh, yeah. Gravis had a lot of peripherals IIRC, too

[near furnace]

Gravis had better.. "bass" 😄

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_card

[little lantern]

Does anyone know what the damage increase is per lvl on weapon skill lvls?

[fallen zephyr]

Fair call. I am on the Millennial end of Gen-X and was being facetious (and unfair).

[near furnace]

or more GenX - millenial. but Gen Y doesn't exist really

[frigid gust]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Skills depends on the weapon and the level, it's not fully linear

[fallen zephyr]

Gen Y is Millennial. They got renamed for some reason.

[near furnace]

there is a "sub generation" between those born in mid 80's and before everyone had internet 😄

[frigid gust]

Yeah, that's the "elder millenial", born in the late 70's/early 80's, straddling the tech and internet boom.

[fallen zephyr]

I know you meant nothing by it. 🙂 But, let's not label generations with 'class'. Especially since the Boomers and Gen Alpha will certainly feel like we're relegating them. 😛

[near furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruKJpwlRe_M

[frigid gust]

Subclass = sub-group, it's not really a status judgement.

[near furnace]

it's like.. squeesed in there 🤔

[near furnace]

fixed it 😉

[fallen zephyr]

You don't need to fix anything for me. I'm one that wants to find some people to "yes, and..." our way to outrage in the interests of dark humour.

[next frost]

why do necks

sound like old grumpy men?

[nocturne wolf]

Why do old grumpy men sound like necks?

[fallen zephyr]

It might be because older, grumpier necks offer up more 'tails'.

[warm sandal]

mine too... 😛

[foggy glacier]

so I'm assuming those pokey rocks around Ashlands keep going all the way to the edge of the world?

[rotund dust]

Beehives in Black Forest stone Structures = new, yes? Never seen one before

[glass elm]

Me neither until very recently

I suppose they're trying to make sure everyone has honey

[lunar sapphire]

Not new nope

Seen one ages ago 👍

[frigid gust]

Because we're tired of you kids bugging us

[distant field]

Boomers, obvs.

[rotund dust]

Weird, I've seen two in the last two days, and ive got 1000s of hours, and before that never seen one. Thought must of changed something. Interesting

[slim imp]

it is more common to find them in meadows yes

iirc only those stone buildings with a fine wood table inside can have behives in the black forest

those buildings are somewhat rare already and not all of them can have beehives

they look similar to the skeleton buildings but have a greydwarf brute inside

[rotund dust]

Yeah, was one of the buildings with only a single brute inside, that cant fit out the door 😂

Also, was there any comment made by devs, why we cant tame Rabbits?

[nocturne wolf]

You can tame chickens instead, we don’t need 2 tameable animals in a single biome. (I know chickens don’t actually spawn in mistlands but it’s the same point in progression)

[rotund dust]

id rather have rabbits than chickens 😂

[rotund dust]

Guess this logic also why we cant have Deer, altho, nothing in Swamp/BF to tame

[nocturne wolf]

You can use trophies for pet leeches

[olive cloak]

just dont pet them

[slim imp]

it's ok to pet them, the problem is when they want to pet you back!

[blissful stream]

Huh. They done good with ashlands spawns. Still pretty challenging but not a slog

[rotund dust]

Does a Poison Resistance Mead, or Root Mask give more resist?

[near furnace]

no

[rotund dust]

No wasnt the right answer LOL

Unless you mean both give same?

[near furnace]

yes, no, maybe, perhaps

try it

they do the same amount, and it doesn't add to each other

[rotund dust]

Ty

[fair cairn]

wait what i thought the root mask gives less than the poison resist mead

[near furnace]

should be the same 🤔

[frigid gust]

Wiki says the mask is 50% resistance, and the potion is 75%

[near furnace]

wiki is usually correct 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

The mead is ‘very resistant’ and the mask is ‘resistant’

[near furnace]

well. then it's the answer 😄

I know they don't stack

[rotund dust]

We got the answer in the end 😄

[near furnace]

the answer is usually. wiki 😄

[frigid gust]

It's not necessarily a bad thing to wear the mask and have the potion in places like the Swamp, if the potion wears off you still have some decent resistance. I really only use the potion for the boss fight at the end of the day.

[late halo]

I never remember😅 to take my poison mead so just make the mask

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t used a root mask for a while, I usually use troll armor through swamps and occasionally make the harnesk, but never the full set.

[frigid gust]

Yeah, I often mix and match, I make the harnesk first, and the rest of the pieces are optional. The set bonus is nice, but not necessary.

[lilac temple]

OPA

[near furnace]

english only in Valheim discord server

[river thunder]

ive decided i hate wraiths

[near furnace]

bronze bucklare and perfect block is your only chance 😄

they are very fast

[velvet harbor]

how hard would it be to fight moder with swamp tier armor? i have an iron helm and leggings, root chest plate, and i have a draugrs fang, krom, and frostner. my friends also have swamp tier armor, and mainly mountain weapons (and the arbalest too). theres 4 of us total so i dont think itll be too hard but i js wanted to see what other ppl think

i assume we'll be fine if we just dont get hit?

[livid zenith]

You’ll do a lot of damage with the mistlands weapons and you should still be able to survive a few hits so you’ll be fine

One recommendation I have is to switch the root harness for an iron (more defense) or troll (more speed) shirt because Moder deals very little pierce damage

[shell mirage]

I did not expect Trolls to straight oneshot me e_e

[keen cliff]

No? 🙂 they are pretty big and mean looking...

[still crow]

I'm related to the gators obvs

[stone jetty]

Hi, anyone interested in learing spanish while playing? I am looking for someone who speaks fluent English preferably: If someone interested pls dm 🙂

[amber geode]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/x88aog/valheim_kombat/

[frozen fable]

oooh for the first time in quite a few playthroughs, i actually found the Yagluth stone before finding the Yagluth altar, and also i did this before finding Moder, since I am exploring for mountains

[slate grove]

I have a portal to an island meadow that transitions to mountain so it’s very convenient to get to. I just started the Iron Age, though. How bad of an idea would it be to venture into the mountains now and then go back to the swamp with some mountain gear assuming I can get some out of the mountain?

Overall the risk seems pretty low. I can get to the biome easily so corpse runs won’t be too much of a problem

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

If you are after silver you'll have to pound the ground with the stagbreaker to find it, if you finish the swamp first the boss will drop an item that will make it easier.

[rotund dust]

Do you make the Harnesk for the Resistant to Pierce?

[slate grove]

Ok I may just putz around the swamp a bit more then

[jolly widget]

Valheim in a nutshell:
A single gray dwarf manages to destroy a single segment of your fence, and 20 of your 22 pigs escape. As you are getting the last 5 pigs corralled, you are raided by draugr and skeletons and they kill all your pigs but one small piglet.
/sigh

[opal prairie]

Pigs need to be underground in a bunker.

[gray patrol]

This game is really close to real life - one failure after another plus repeating the same mistakes

[strange roost]

Did they ever mention if they are going to buff the blood gem?

[vocal rivet]

Buff it? Not heard anything. It's great as it is.

[opal prairie]

I like it for the dundr and trollstav but the other weapons don't really do it for me.
If there was a good way to constantly be low health that might change.
A nice, high risk, high rewards game play but in my opinion the other gems bring more to the weapons than bloodstone at the moment.

[spark quest]

what is cli que?

[opal prairie]

Clique: a small group of people who spend their time together.

[vocal rivet]

It's a bit more specific than that. The group doesn't readily welcome new members and can be quite dismissive of those not in the clique.

[spark quest]

Why do I get 10 to 21 when I'm playing alone or just two people?

[vocal rivet]

FPS ? You shouldn't. Does your machine meet minimum specs? Are you running mods? In multiplayer are you on Steam or crossplay?

[jagged wind]

and what are ur pc specs

[spark quest]

PC specification? I'm turning it to a dead server and it's 5600 32gb
The computer I access is 5600 32gb 4060ti

[jagged wind]

that should be more than enough.. strange

[nocturne wolf]

Does this happen everywhere or only at certain places?

[spark quest]

If you just press f2, the value keeps changing. At an incredible speed

[distant field]

I don’t know AMD CPUs well. But isn’t 5600 like 3+ generations old at this point? Could it be a mismatch with a 4060? How does it perform in other games?

Also, are you only getting low FPS in high instance count areas (within main bases, or a lot of the Ashlands)?

[spark quest]

No, I'm talking about the phenomenon where the clique changes quickly to two digits

[distant field]

The clique?

[ornate sigil]

Based on the convo above, clique=fps.

[distant field]

That’s what I thought. But I’m confused now.

[ornate sigil]

#valheim-chat message
Is likely their prior comment they are referring to.

[nocturne wolf]

The cli que is not fps. It can be seen in the f2 menu

[ornate sigil]

Ah.

[nocturne wolf]

I have no idea what it is though, and I don’t know if it’s a problem at certain values.

[distant field]

Ah. LOL

[ornate sigil]

All I'm getting about it, is that it is tied to servers/how a server works and possibly lag. This would be better asked in the server help section if that is true.
https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

Not sure if I will get temp banned for posting a link to steam, so I won't, but someone mentioned cli que there and it being a hidden setting in the .dll file. I can DM anyone who wants the link (with details).

[tawdry minnow]

[gaunt sable]

help I'm addicted to restarting before I reach the mistlands lol

[distant field]

Why do you feel the need to restart?

[gaunt sable]

I take long breaks, log into whatever I was doing, go meh, and start anew, and now I have 10 characters and too many worlds.

Though I genuinely enjoy the feel of the game prior to mistlands rather than playing through it again. I tend to just break off, and not play for a few months once I hit mistlands and start over

[jagged wind]

my gf has r5 5500 and it runs smoothly on 1080p

[jagged wind]

dont take any breaks then, sweat through it until the last boss is down 😎

[gaunt sable]

I already did once D:

[jagged wind]

well.. just do whats fun to u 🤷‍♂️

cant imagine id quit before Mistlands personally... thats where the fun begins finally for me

[opal prairie]

Grenade launcher and having minions you can summon is fun and that bubble just tops it off.

[gaunt sable]

If I liked magic more I'd probably like mistlands more

I think theres a magic to the beginning of the game though, that makes playing up to the plains insanely replayable

[jagged wind]

there are lot of very good melee weapons in Mistlands

[distant field]

Seems to me like you have found what you enjoy. Nothing wrong with that.

[opal prairie]

Yes, jumping trolls with the abyssal razor is so much fun.

[buoyant ether]

seekers and such do pierce dmg right?

[lunar sapphire]

pointy pointy stab stab stay away from me attacks

[opal prairie]

Seekers and ticks.

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers have one blunt attack but all others are pierce

[final bloom]

Is it the landing one?

[nocturne wolf]

Wiki says it’s ’double claw’, I don’t know if that includes the landing attack or not.

I’ve never fought them with pierce resistance so I don’t know from my gameplay.

[buoyant ether]

melee gear wise, what would be ashlands rdy?

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll want a mistwalker, frostner or crystal battleaxe because they’re best for 2-star charred warriors

The battleaxe is worst of those 3 but if you’ve made one before it’s good enough so you won’t need one of the others.

[outer swallow]

Goodmorning Vikings

[buoyant ether]

my frostner is maxed out alrdy

[nocturne wolf]

Perfect. You should make some barley wine to override the feather cape’s fire weakness.

There is a surprisingly low amount of fire damage in ashlands but it could kill you easily without barley wine.

[minor dust]

do yo know how to move a chiken, becaus ehe run away every time

[foggy glacier]

It’s tough. Create a path using roundpole fences.

Easier to just hatch a new egg in the location you want

[merry pebble]

as Rudeman said, its easiest to just carry eggs and hatch them elsewhere

[tulip patrol]

Also hatch them and keep a few in a cleared Troll Cave, that way they stay safe from bat raids and whatnot.

I say Bat Raid specifically because theyre small enough to get through gaps and kill chickens in a chicken coop style farm. Troll Caves are completly safe since the trolls wont respawn in them once theyre cleared

[frigid gust]

Yes, exactly

[vernal mirage]

should i skip bronze armor, it seems like a complete waste

[opal prairie]

Yes, got for troll armor if you want an upgrade to your armor.
It's what I do, then root in swamp, fenris in mountains, nothing in plains.

[winged root]

im super new to valheim and want to build in an ideal base location for mid to late game anything I should look for. I am looking at islands that have 4 biomes meadows/forest/swamp/plains

ideally build base in meadows I think

[opal prairie]

Ideal base for me is a plains island that I spawn proof that is close to mistlands, you can farm all crops till plains and have a portal to a mistland island for the shrooms there.

[little lantern]

is there any way to prevent the black slimes from spawning from tar pools?

[opal prairie]

Yes, building any player base items nearby.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[little lantern]

Do they have to be very close?

I want to turn the 2 tar pits in my base into an onsen

[opal prairie]

If you build a workbench you will see a circle, anything in that circle will stop spawning, so cover the whole tar pit with the circles and done.
Any upgrades to the workbench will enlarge the radius.

[little lantern]

Thanks 🤜 🤛

[opal prairie]

You could first put down a workbench and than change that to a campfire or anything else from the list you can find in the link above for aesthetic reasons.
Hiding the workbenches under a floor of little houses or shacks also works.

[winged root]

you mind if I send you a SS in dms of where im thinking of building not too sure if its a good idea since black forest kindve close.

[keen cliff]

#screenshots message
First sighting of Ashlands... and now to turn around and dock and prepare. Have to go to work soon, so no storming the beaches until tonight at least.

and there's a welcoming Bonemaw as I turn around and kick in Moder's power to get out of there lol

[frigid gust]

It does have a decent amount higher armor than the troll armor does, but it is outclassed very quickly with iron and root armor. It's not a waste, but it's not often "optimal" if you're skilled at the game.

[keen cliff]

i made full bronze in my first playthrough. i don't regret it. but in the second playthrough, i was trying to minimize the amount of copper/tin mining, and went with troll armor+bronze buckler.

[strange oar]

fully upgraded bronze armor has 42 armor. same as base iron armor. so if you wanna skip iron, you could do that with bronze/troll. or ask the question "is iron armor worth it?". when you already have a full bronze armor. i did that in my first playthrough and went straight to silver gear. its basically the same for all the equipment. fully upgraded has mostly similar values as the same gear of the next biome at baselevel. so upgrading is general an option, but not a must when you know how and when to progress

[distant field]

I think it coms down to whether you want the Troll Set bonus or the extra armor.

[sharp bluff]

you go for root armour anyway...

[strange oar]

what do you guys think about mistland weapons? i just made himminafl and mistwalker. himminafl feels like a waste. mistwalker seems okay. does jotunbane has a niche? im running krom, spear and arbalest

[sharp bluff]

jotunbane is kinda ass

[strange oar]

okay, what about the hammer and skoll and hati

[nocturne wolf]

Jotun’s bane should be better because it looks so good

[strange oar]

its called jotun bane! it better be good 😄

[winged root]

iron helmet seems worth

I use full troll and iron helmet

[strange oar]

im not saying any of these armor is bad. its just numbers. bronze on 3 has the same armor as iron on 0. if you have an abundance of bronze laying around, its more economical to use the bronze helmet. i used full iron in my recent playthrough and it does its job.

[winged root]

Yea i skipped bronze gear cuz i hate mining copper

[strange oar]

tbh all the light armor give you more bang for the buck than the heavy armors in general. theyre easy to get and upgrade. you dont need to dig in the dirt for them, but you fight enemies, which is way more fun and you get a lot of useful bonus effects like poison and pierce resistance or faster movement speed

[winged root]

I like the movement from non heavy gear, I like the with just the helm you can have the same movement so I typically just make the helmet

[strange oar]

yea and you can just use triple health food to make up for the lack or armor

[shell mirage]

With the wood requirements for crafting and upgrading I feel like The black forest is going to just be part of the Meadows when I'm done with it.

[winged root]

make a tree farm

I did it it works wonders ill tell you what

Had to use a decent amount of stone to make the farm tho

[keen cliff]

i ended up making a greydwarf farm for blood magic leveling purposes, and now my eyes, rock, and wood needs are filled forever

[hot bolt]

What is stone used for in tree farm?

[shell mirage]

Can you make mob spawners or is it like in minecraft where you have to find them in the wild and build around them lol

I'm trying to go into this first playthrough not googling and automating farms and stuff but we'll see how long that lasts

I think I've found two greydwarf spawners but I've just generally avoided them because I dont kill them that fast yet

[keen cliff]

you have to find them in the wild and build around them. black forest has many greydwarf nests. so in early game, i tend to just mark them on the map and avoid them if i don't need to kill it

[slim imp]

my guess is that they raised the terrain to make it inclined and increase the tree collision

though if you can spend 5-10 min you can use any terrain and chop the remaining trees normally (depends on the farm size ofc)

[keen cliff]

early game, just chop down trees.

[slim imp]

well, if you don't spend time searching/modifying terrain it's very quick to make a tree farm early on, just don't expect the trees to completely destroy themselves

[keen cliff]

i think early on you're not going to have enough seeds however

[slim imp]

true but even a small 5x5 tree farm can give a chest of wood and the amount of beech seeds only increase over time

but you're right it isn't necessary

I mean 5 tree by 5 trees

[serene hollow]

Tree seeds are not a given even though beech always seems to be plentiful. I have had 12 oak trees drop zero seeds and the next three drop 8 or 9 total. RNG can screw you sometimes. Worst luck I had was 15 oak trees gave me three seeds. When they grew I got none. RNGJeesus did not smile upon me....

[slim imp]

well, tree farms only work for beech, regular wood

all other trees have diminishing seed returns in average iirc

Personally, I use oak seeds for decoration

[shell mirage]

Can I like wall-mount the mob trophies and stuff?

Or are they just crafting pieces

[slim imp]

yes

need bronze nails and fine wood to craft item stands

[shell mirage]

Ah, okay. That's the disparity

Thanks 🙂

[stone jetty]

Looking for a mate to learn english and teach spanish while playing 😁

[fallen zephyr]

I think you mean 'Amigo'.

[shell mirage]

Amigo for a mate to learn english and teach spanish while playing

[fallen zephyr]

Much amigo. I'm amigo you're getting the amigo of it.

[teal mica]

any kind soul willing to lend me a boat i lost all my stuff in the swamp and my friends quit the game bc of that 😅

[shell mirage]

They quit because you lost your own things?

[teal mica]

they lost theirs too

we went back with our backup boat and died again

[severe yarrow]

yo guys, I have played Valheim and finished everything until Ashlands
Unfortunately, my mates don’t play valheim anymore plz tell me if u r around same lvl and willing to have 1 more members to play with. i would really rather not to play ashlands solo

[merry pebble]

why not 😄 its fun solo

[winged root]

Gotta raise the ground around the tree farm

[severe yarrow]

i love solo mode but not on survival games

[unreal bear]

I messaged you. Check your Pending

[unreal bear]

I would but I am not at home at the moment. If you still need help in 2 or 3 hours from now, ping me or message me

[unreal bear]

This happened to me.
I found a group to do Ashlands with and joined them.
I now have Ashlands gear but I sympathize. If you need help I would be willing to help get momentum going in the Ashlands

[teal mica]

oh tysm

[severe yarrow]

tnx by the way, i’m looking for a standard with at least trios/4 people survive experience with relatively same lvl in gear and…

[unreal bear]

Ok. In my experience, I had trouble finding people who were at that exact level. Many people quit before Ashlands. Those who love the game and don’t quit, have already done Ashlands.. for the most part. I have experience surviving. But I understand if you are looking for a group of 3 or 4. Good luck.

[severe yarrow]

yeah my priority is the number of the party to interact with while playing, i am even ok with replaying lower biomes too. the game itself is easy i don’t have trouble for finishing it solo

[opal prairie]

Sure, I might not respond today though, this is probably the last time I check discord today.

[torn flume]

any norwegians here?

[eternal mango]

will there come more? is there a new roadmap?

[vocal rivet]

The final biome, Deep North will come in the next year or so.

[eternal mango]

oh okay... sad

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[azure yacht]

Because we wish for the game to die and never leave early access

💡 Don't release Deep North

[rotund dust]

Valheim I don't think will ever die. Its one of those games, you can replay countless times, and still enjoy 😄

[hallow harness]

Did this new update make Ashlands way easier? I just explored it for the first time and it wasn't as bad as I have been reading

[vocal rivet]

Way easier? No, but it is easier than it was.

[hallow harness]

ah, I wished I had experienced it before the change. Thank you

[river thunder]

i need to find a good sp seed

[vocal rivet]

You'll get one if you start a new world.

[river thunder]

yeah i know

one i made last night isnt to my liking

[scarlet zinc]

guys can I ask a question?

[rotund dust]

You just did

[azure yacht]

You cannot

[scarlet zinc]

Which one is more effective? One tank and 2 wizard or 3 wizard

we playing valheim 3 player

[azure yacht]

First option

[rotund dust]

In all honestly, play what you enjoy.

[scarlet zinc]

why

[azure yacht]

One to lure enemies and attract attention while other two bombard them with attacks

[slate pasture]

thanks bro

[unreal bear]

I think there will be updates adding small amounts of content before the final biome content.
An update was just announced and confirmed that should be out in the next several months.

I am hoping for some sort of update similar to Hearth n Home to add some like building things or furniture things or foods or craftablea etc before the large Deep North biome

[rotund dust]

Keen to see what the witches hut brings 😄

[azure yacht]

500 iron that it will be released between early October and mid november (either ptb or live version)

[river thunder]

is the deep north supposed to be like the last thing they add?

[rotund dust]

Original Roadmap from years ago, had Ocean Biome update too, so hoping we get that

[river thunder]

as if it wasnt scary enough

[vocal rivet]

It's safe to ignore anything from a three year old removed road map.

[tepid prawn]

they did say the roadmap is canned, and there will probably not be a full ocean biome anyway with a boss, DN boss will be last one that has also been confirmed beforehand. We might get some small ocean things, we just did get something for ocean though, the changed boiling ocean with the spikes

[rotund dust]

Let me have hope, i love the ocean 😄

[ashen crane]

when would you guys consider yourself ready to fight the queen with a melee only build?

[wooden tapir]

i waited until i had max heavy armor and max mistwalker, but it was my first time doing her so i wanted to be extra prepared, you can probably do her earlier

i had a huge stockpile of iron tho so i felt like the upgrades were really easy

[ashen crane]

fair enough im not really into heavy armor. i have max fenris legs, root harnesk and carapace helm with mistwalker. have some pretty good foods and major healing meads + poison resist meads. im assuming you cant come much more prepared than that?

[marble delta]

Ah the inevitable “this settlement is dog shit and the urge to knock it all down and redesign” has struck

[shy marlin]

Def bring the root harnesk, it'll be a good thing to have 👍, in the weapons department I'd grab demolisher + himmin afl + spinesnap alongside mistwalker

Oh and if you can pack ooze/bile bombs they're pretty handy

[marble delta]

There any word on what’s after ashlands? If anything?

[tepid prawn]

there will be a smaller content patch, some spoilers for that in the last blog, something new in swamp etc, and then there will probably be the Deep North massive update, which might be the last super big patch with a boss and a full biome, and might even bring the game out of early access, if they will do another something after or in between no one really knows, but the devs have also said they want the game to have an end

[ashen crane]

ok i killed the queen for the first time not bad at all only died once in the beginning. One of my favorite bosses in the game now.

used skoll and hati to kill broods and sekers quickly and mistwalker for the queen

[stone jetty]

Looking for someone to learn english and teach spanish while playing 😮

[warm sandal]

haven't you posted that wish quite a few times in the last days? Chances are if you have not gotten a response to it from a spanish learner there is none? you could though post over in the servers-and-lfg because there it would stick and be found if someone had an interest?

[lavish jasper]

hola amigo

[ionic iron]

Is that smelted or raw ore?

[rotund dust]

We dont want the game to end tho 😦

[nocturne wolf]

It has to end eventually, iron gate can’t work on the same game forever.

[rotund dust]

I tried to use a wooden chair to get inside a crypt, and i sat on it, and now im stuck inside the gate that i cant open and it wont let me in the crypt 😂

[granite quarry]

Anyone need help with anything. I'm a bit bored.

[granite quarry]

lol need someone to open the crypt for ya XD

[rotund dust]

My daughter is coming to save me with her char, but thanks 😛

Note to all valheim players, never trust your son.

[granite quarry]

XD i'll have to keep that in mind.

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[dawn fjord]

Finally got to Ashlands.

[buoyant ether]

is root fang an asslands wpn?

[opal prairie]

Yes, ash fang with a jade stone upgrade.

[slate hedge]

Yo I died and my gravestone despawned

does this happend a lot?

with console i can't use cheats to gain my stuff back. It tells me that devcommands don't exist

[opal prairie]

Gravestones, don't despawn.
They might get hidden by terrain but shouldn't despawn.
have you enabled the console: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Enabling_the_console
Then press f5 and type devcommands and press enter.
Now type something like: spawn SwordIron
That will get you an iron sword, for more itemids check: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs

[slate hedge]

thank you

doesn't work

[azure yacht]

Smelted. Fully processed

[nocturne wolf]

This can happen if you close the game shortly after dying. Did you do that?

You could load a character backup from the character select menu

[slate hedge]

yeah i was frustrated

that's a better way thank you

[nocturne wolf]

Wait until you’ve respawned, and save the game before leaving.

[slate hedge]

@nocturne wolf u helped me a lot. Thanks a million!

[whole shadow]

Does anyone wanna play vallheim w me

My and my friends bought the game but some drama happened and we broke up, but we haven't finished so yeah

I want to finish it

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 is the place to find other Valheimians, browse at your leisure or make a post yourself.

[buoyant ether]

the dilemma of having a beautiful base but wanting to build a mistlands base anyway 😭

[opal prairie]

Why not have both and link em with a portal, the beatiful base boasts your kills and wealth and you go there to chill out and just putter around with whatever.
The mistland base is something practical that is only build with what is the minimum this needs and don't exceed that.

[buoyant ether]

i kinda like that idea, maybe a grand mage-esque tower on a high spot of mistlands ?

[distant field]

Black marble tower could look awesome.

[merry pebble]

Afternoon gjall 😄

[buoyant ether]

what was the req's for eitr refinery?

[opal prairie]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Eitr_refinery
Black marble x20
Black metal x5
Yggdrasil wood x10
Black core x5
Sap x3

[buoyant ether]

thankke

[buoyant ether]

using that for the base would be really neat

[opal prairie]

Yeah but remember you don't want anything else besides iron and black marble near it else those things will get destroyed by the sparks.

[buoyant ether]

as in gjalls?

oh u mean the refinery XD

[opal prairie]

Indeed.

[buoyant ether]

why is this game so frickin addictin

i got all my 400hrs within like the last 2? months

[plush umbra]

I need to come back to this😭 I think it's legit been a year

[warm sandal]

well it is gonna stay addicting and then you play some more and whoopsie you land at 2200+ hours 😄

[warm sandal]

i never managed to not play longer than 2 weeks or so... if i am super busy and have lots of appointments with friends...but play for on hour in the morning before work is always doable 😄 ...severe valheim addict 😦

[hybrid blade]

ive accidentally mass farmed boars

[wooden tapir]

1 hour in valheim is legit nothing. i constantly find myself just playing 8-10 hours without even realizing i have been playing for long at all. if i only have an hour to play i find it hard to even get on valheim because i know i wont be able to accomplish much

when i first started i thought they were being generous with food durations lasting 20-30 min. but then i realized that those 20-30 min are going to fly by in 3-4 min

[warm sandal]

well... 1h is two ingame days... i can do a lot of running around in two in game days 😄

infact if you are sleeping the night it is nearly 3 days to run around...

[hidden gorge]

in part because the effects of food legitimately don't last the duration they're listed with. Their stats start quickly eroding halfway through

[wooden tapir]

yea thats fair

[hidden gorge]

its kinda silly, I really don't like it -- the descriptions should be more clear and explicit when it comes to stats like that -- or at the very least don't give specific numbers and give vague, generic descriptions instead

[wooden tapir]

let my guard down for 1 second and almost die

[thorny ibex]

I know it's subjective and the "best build" depends on your goals and playstyle, but I'm curious...

What build is "optimal" for, lets say, surviving the longest in the ashlands

I'm interested if anyone would argue that Asks set is better than the Flametal set, for instance, because a skilled player can survive longer using the stamina cost reductions.

[hallow canyon]

I used Askvin set because the maneuverability helped more than damage mitigation

[nocturne wolf]

The ask set is better for everything except taking unblocked hits (but why would you do that?) and swimming in boiling water / lava (again, why?)

[thorny ibex]

Interesting, is that the general consensus do you think?

[hallow canyon]

I played Ashlands when it was released before mob spawns were nerfed, and overall back then that seemed to be the consensus

[thorny ibex]

Huh, I would have thought the extra armor would make more of a difference and it'd be a closer call. I'm personally wearing the Ask set because I have the Need for Speed, but I wasn't necessarily convinced it was optimal until now

[hallow canyon]

I played most of the earlier biomes as a tank build, but definitely preferred the maneuverability of the askvin set in Ashlands due to the number of mobs and the need to be able to avoid them effectively

[nocturne wolf]

Unless you want take unblocked hits or go in lava or boiling water, there is no benefit to flametal armor

But it does help if you do these accidentally

[thorny ibex]

So does that mean Asksvin cape > Ashen, or do the other stamina benefits make up for the lower speed?

[nocturne wolf]

I always use feather cape

[hallow canyon]

Same. I did askvin armor set with the feather cape

Just always made sure I had the fire resist mead on board at all times

Even though Ashlands isn't nearly as vertical as some of the other biomes (particularly Mistlands), the feather cape is still useful

[thorny ibex]

I find that I can't avoid taking some unblocked hits no matter how well I'm playing, at least from the occasional stray projectile in big fights. Also, doesn't the armor reduce the damage overflow when you block strong hits too?

[hallow canyon]

As long as you have sufficient health, the occasional hit isn't a big deal

[nocturne wolf]

It affects the overflow, but by an insignificant amount.

[hallow canyon]

Also, it helps to play in combination with someone in a mage build who can give you the bubble

My partner played mage, and I was ranged/melee depending on the situation

[nocturne wolf]

Not everyone plays in multiplayer though

[hallow canyon]

This is true. Still, when I was playing alone, I tended to die a lot less with my build than he did when he was playing alone in the mage build

[thorny ibex]

I see, does this depend in part on weapon / shield choice? I've been using Himminafl, and I'm thinking there's an argument to be made that it's the optimal weapon for surviving the ashlands because of the insane knockback and multi-hit of its secondary.

But weapons don't have a ton of block armor, so unless you're parrying everything (impossible in really big fights), you're going to be taking more significant overflow with 64 block armor instead of like 128 or w/e.

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need to parry anything with a polearm, a spin can stagger most enemies

[thorny ibex]

Though it seems like the Thundering Berserker axes are the GOAT as far as DPS, for max survivability DPS is probably not the most important feature.

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t like the axes, their recovery time is too long to be useful against many enemies, such as morgens and 2-star charred warriors

[thorny ibex]

Except the really big ones, the Fallen Valkyrie and the Morgen

[hallow canyon]

There are better weapons in Ashlands than Himminafl - I was personally a fan of one handed swords - Nidhogg the thundering was my go-to

[thorny ibex]

Flametal shield or Carapace buckler?

[nocturne wolf]

I’d use the buckler with 2 stamina and the shield with 2 health.

[thorny ibex]

Also, could you reliably one-shot charred marksmen (no star) with the secondary?

[hallow canyon]

Flametal buckler, or shield, depending

[thorny ibex]

Uh, is that from a mod? I thought there wasn't a Flametal buckler

[hallow canyon]

I meant round shield

There are two flametal shields, a round shield and a tower shield. I used both depending on the situation

[thorny ibex]

I was thinking the reduced stagger limit from 2 stamina foods made that less optimal, but I'm guessing with buckler + parry, you don't accumulate as much stagger

[hallow canyon]

Sorry, it's been a few months since I played - killed Fader for the second time on 17th June and put the game on ice until Deep North comes out

[thorny ibex]

Makes sense, no worries I legit thought I might have been missing out on a Flametal buckler somehow 😅

[nocturne wolf]

Bucklers are the perfect shields for stamina diets - parrying more costs a ton of stamina but the high parry armor allows you to parry more attacks with low health

If I’m using a health diet I’d use a normal shield because I don’t see why I’d use a shield that can only parry well if I can parry and block.

[thorny ibex]

I feel like buckler + Nidhogg the thundering would struggle a little more against groups though, no?

[hallow canyon]

This is what I usually did because my normal diet is 2H 1S

[hallow canyon]

Yeah, the round shield was usually my emergency back up

[thorny ibex]

Is there also a consensus around sword and shield being the "optimal?" That feels fuzzier to me

[nocturne wolf]

Different weapons and shields are good in different situations and against different enemies, there is no optimal.

[thorny ibex]

I figured this is the response I'd end up with, but I was still curious what people thought of the question.

Thanks everyone for all the input so far, I've learned a bunch of stuff

Ok totally unrelated question; is there a mod that makes tames more manageable / useful? Or some way to make them try to follow you when you dismount? I've lost like three asksvin saddles when my mount went sprinting off as soon as I dismounted, got lost, and presumably died but I never found it.

[sharp raptor]

Don't need armor if you don't get hit. Between the maneuverability of the ask set and the damage mitigation of the tower shield, I dont need the extra armor to dominate the ashlands.

[hallow canyon]

Not that I've found. We ended up not doing much using mounts, even Askvin due to it just being easier to do things on foot

[sharp bluff]

its pretty rare for mounted combat to be an improvement in any game...

[thorny ibex]

I felt it was very well done in Elden Ring and the recent Zelda games

[hallow canyon]

Well considering that equipping a weapon automatically dismounts you, I wouldn't say there is mounted combat in Valheim at all

[keen cliff]

my only experience with a mount was a lox. and it seemed not worth it except for moving my 2 breeders

i wonder what it feels like with a high riding skill however

[hallow canyon]

Yeah, we mainly used riding for moving Lox/askvin to new locations

[sharp bluff]

even in elden ring you'd rather be on the ground for 9/10 fights

[hallow canyon]

Not much better

[keen cliff]

that's too bad

[hallow canyon]

More practice makes them easier to maneuver, but beyond that doesn't improve it much

[keen cliff]

they should make high riding skill unlock the ability to shoot a ranged weapon while mounted, or use staffs 🙂

[hallow canyon]

Part of the issue is them aggroing on everything

[keen cliff]

lets mount a shield generator a lox lol

[thorny ibex]

Mounted fighting was really its own entire combat style / skill in Elden Ring, and you couldn't use it effectly in every fight, but it felt pretty viable / smooth at least. If you wanted to play a mounted knight, you totally could. Not really a thing in Valheim, but even the mobility benefits are wasted with the current system.

[thorny ibex]

YES

[keen cliff]

oh man that would be hilarious

[sharp bluff]

and only against fire golems does it actually help xd

[torn flume]

anyone here who wants to play? english/norwegian

[thorny ibex]

Siege Lox. Give me Ballistae saddles and Battering helms!

[keen cliff]

i want to see someone breeding lox in the Ashlands.

[nocturne wolf]

People in #1024264966712340510 want to play

[keen cliff]

i've had one failed attempt at getting the drakkar to the beach so far. i'm taking a break before trying again. i can't imagine wanting to ever do it again after i succeed

i learned that archer skellies on a boat are useless against bonemaws, because they can't get an attack angle. and they might have been shooting my boat in fact

so yeah, contributed to that failed attempt

[fallen zephyr]

Getting the drakkar to a beach is rough. Dodging the spires and then having to deal with voltures (and maybe bonemaw) as well.

[keen cliff]

the skellies would have helped with voltures if i ran into those. i didn't however, just some angry bonemaws hah

next attempt tonight

i'm not going to bother with skellies until i hit ground this time. i'm more concerned about keeping the ship afloat and dealing with bonemaws.

so new plan is frost staff for bonemaws until out of eitr, then switch to arbalest with carapace bolts while eitr regens. then workbench on spire and immediately fix ship. hell, maybe i'll do that during the bonemaw fights actually, first time eitr is regenning.

for the first time, i'm envious of people who play with friends. usually i love solo

[sharp raptor]

Playing with people ramps up the enemy health and damage. They may have been useful for getting to shore but everything would hit much harder once you landed.

[wooden tapir]

does dmg scale with people as well? i thought it was just health

[merry pebble]

Creature damage is further increased by 4% and effective health is further increased by 30% for each additional player within 100 meters. These are also applied to tamed creatures. This scaling caps at 5 players.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creature_Level

[wooden tapir]

oh ok thats fair

[keen cliff]

the damage scaling is pretty minor, honestly. i think the consensus i've seen is that a group of players tends to have an easier time with normal creature combat.

but for me, i was mostly thinking about the beach approach, and juggling killing bonemaws and reparing the drakkar

[vocal rivet]

The scaling doesn't take into the fact that with several players, one can take the aggro while the others recover health etc and then swap out.

[hallow canyon]

The Drakkar has enough HP where you shouldn't need to repair it trying to get to shore. You're probably better off stopping at one of the rocks just offshore rather than actually landing. Build a portal there and use that as a base of operations to plan your landing.

[keen cliff]

say that to the 2nd bonemaw that destroyed the ship lol

[stone jetty]

I'll do it thank you, I haven't found anyone yet

[nova cape]

how far is the elder from the rest of your setup? I'm fine helping you get back if the travel isn't too too long

what do you mean?

ah okay, well if you wanna go now and it's not too far, I can kill the boss in a few seconds and make it a safe zone to get your stuff back. totally up to you

fair enough lol

[nova cape]

frost arrows with spinesnap bow are probably better than whatever you can do with a crossbow

[hallow canyon]

Yikes, you allowed it to live that long?

[warm sandal]

finally after 20 ingame days i found a flametal leviathan... now things look up... and the plethora of new food ❤️ I killed countless foe just to find that first flametal... i landed in a particular stupid spot it seems 😄 but hey... i managed to die only once the day after landfall ... like 3 warriors several twisters an asksvine and then came 2 voltures... small wonder i got overwhelmed in my mistland gear 😄 and now it is time for bed good night fellow vikings

[nova cape]

just FYI as long as you're not super far east or west in the ashlands, there should be a ton of flametal deposits (ref yellow icons here: #screenshots message)

[keen cliff]

hey man, i was trying!

[wooden tapir]

after several hours of resource gathering i finally get to start my end game base

[flat quail]

Anyone lookint to start a game fresh from the begining?

[keen cliff]

i will consider making the bow. once i got the arbalest i switched to that. but this scenario, bow is probably better

[nocturne wolf]

People in #1024264966712340510 might be

[flat quail]

I checked and mostly are into servers and modded stuff.. so I shot my shot here

[vocal rivet]

Well, you need a server to play with, so that's still your best place

[flat quail]

eh is fine

[nocturne wolf]

You can filter tags to find exactly what you’re looking for

[flat quail]

true but ... there are old posts... but anyway ty

[vocal rivet]

There are also several in the last hour, but I think you've made your decison.

[wooden tapir]

i have so many markers on my map

[distant field]

it also doesn't take into account the different DPSs of different builds.

[vocal rivet]

You can remove them by right clicking.

[vernal mirage]

should i skip iron armor and go for root, ima t troll armor rn

[vocal rivet]

If you're a light armour user then that's absolutely an option.

[wooden tapir]

surely 2 blackmetal chests full of balck marble will be enough to at least get a decent ammount of my build done

[nocturne wolf]

There’s never enough black marble

[wooden tapir]

im gonna do the hilders bosses first, 5 hours of mining, gotta go fight something

[near furnace]

root armor ain't bad 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim wouldn’t be the same without the root harnesk

[tepid prawn]

please don't nerf haha, it protects from the only thing that kills me in swamp, starred draugr archers, also protects me from forgetfulness (not taking poison mead before I get poisoned) and the bowskill and the good looks are just a bonus

[near furnace]

why would we nerf it when I say it's good?

[nocturne wolf]

Because you can take 0 damage from the current final boss with root harnesk and serpent scale shield? (Please don’t nerf though)

[tepid prawn]

I dunno, I'm actually happy that a lot of good things have been left in the game, I'm not sure if all of them were intentional or not

like using doors to get finewood 😛

[near furnace]

I somehow find that impossible 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

Well I blocked his spin and a damage number didn’t even show, and other attacks were 0.1

Flametal helmet and boots were used too

[near furnace]

imma check it tomorrow. but he does fire, and root armor is weak against fire 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

All of his physical damage is pierce, except the meteors with very low blunt

And the weakness can be overridden with barley wine

[tepid prawn]

Fader easier than Queen thats for sure

if queen killed you why do you disagree that she is harder than fader? read what i wrote haha

[pliant hatch]

True. But what if a player uses Root Harnask and a Barley Wine to negate the vulnerability of fire?
When a player does that, the Root Harnask may actually be a good choice when fighting Fader.

[tepid prawn]

might actually try that next run, I do also like just using magic though against him

[near furnace]

you're never immortal 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

Taking 0 damage from the final boss feels pretty close to immortal

[pliant hatch]

I s'pose when using the right combination of armor, shields, food and potions you may become quite close to it.
Add some player skills about dodge / rolling and block / parrying to it and you certainly could achieve some sort of "immortality".

Edit: And there's of course the rested bonus to help you boost some things as well.

[vocal rivet]

I can't imagine you actually get 0 damage, just low.

[nocturne wolf]

0.1 or less is close enough, isn’t it?

The damage numbers aren’t precise enough

[nova cape]

if you have a decent bow level it should be capable of significantly more DPS (where crossbow leveling is very slow, and it benefits reload speed less)

[lean dawn]

anybody starting a server from scratch?

[vocal rivet]

How have I not noticed the new progress bar for creating new worlds before? (Well, I know why, I haven't created a new world before).

[pliant hatch]

I dunno.

Have you checked https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 yet? People in there may know.

It’s the fix to the stopped responding window that previously showed when generating a world

[vocal rivet]

No, I realise that, I'd just never seen it before, it's cool.

[rotund dust]

I just died for the first time on my server, and went from 75 sword to 72, wtf...

Remember to respect a 2 star trolls, ground slam that hits twice 😂

[plush umbra]

You mean their typical 3 overhead - 1 ground slam - 3 overhead - 1 ground slam where the pause timer between attacks halves sandwiching the ground slam?

[rotund dust]

I thought i could parry the Ground Slam, but the first hit staggered me, and the second killed me 😂 (Cos ground slam hits twice, i guess cos 2 fists?)

[nova cape]

I think the hit and the AOE are separate technically

[rotund dust]

Yeah, normally shows 2 parry hits, when normal and 1 star does the slam.. Just bad judgement on my behalf, learnt a valuable lesson 😛

[nova cape]

when in doubt, go for the dodge roll

[rotund dust]

I fully went into that expecting to be able to parry, otherwise iw ould have

[nova cape]

fair lol

looking for a good builder to help us build a coliseum on a private server

[hazy bolt]

really love the dual axes for woodcutting fast power attack 😄

[tepid prawn]

I just wanted to say something, I have played video games since I was a young teenager, in the 90s. First PC game was Total Annihilation. In my opinion there is less than 5 games that are as good as Valheim, its such a masterpiece!

[hazy bolt]

I think maybe the developers made the later parts a bit to grindy were it didnt need to be

[vocal rivet]

if anything, the worst of the 'grind' is towards the beginning.

[tepid prawn]

I think its not that much gring really, the biggest grind in Mist is tissue, cores you don't need that many really, even on multiplayer more than enough, Ashlands is too short on solo if anything, Dyrnwyn sorta is a fix to that, I think its close to perfect (the one thing is the rarity of gems in multiplayer Ashlands, that can be a problem but for solo no issue at all)

[hazy bolt]

the seals to open the queens lair was a real pain for me. I visited like 13 mines to collect them

[tepid prawn]

Imo 13 is acceptable, I usually want a certain amount of cores these days and jelly so crack open a lot of mines, never had a shortage of that really tbh

[keen cliff]

having to do 13 seems hard. i think i only did 5? and by the 5th, i had no real reasons to visit mines anymore. granted, i wasn't using magic in mistalnds. just stockpiling jelly

[unreal bear]

my first pc game was also Total Annihilation

[lusty dirge]

If luck is not on your side, it can feel grindy. Had a really hard time finding mines in my latest playthroug and none had more than 2 black cores

[thin fog]

does anyone know the name of the mod/file that used to be needed to prevent desync on a private server with a lot of objects? I think it changed the data transfer speed limits in game, or something like that

or did they fix that in the base game at some point since I last played?

[vocal rivet]

Mods certainly won't help if you're suffering lag.

[hidden gorge]

omg, if this were general I would very happily share my love of modern open source spiritual successors like BAR and Zero-K

[hidden gorge]

you are not alone 😦

[thin fog]

no it was about the amount of objects or instances or whatever in one area that would cause desync with multiple people because of (I think) the transfer rate limits in game, there was some obscure fix with a file that changed the limits and it would fix the desync, but the last time I played was almost a year ago so I was hoping that they fixed it in the base game, but I don't remember what the mod was called

[tepid prawn]

I find the skulls to be a much bigger grind in all my playthroughs, cores come eventually especially if you know what the mine formation spawns look like.

[carmine kestrel]

o.o most bases are still around 7k to 10k instances so I dunno about that. @thin fog

[vocal rivet]

Too many instances can certainly cause lag, but there's an easy fix there. Objects despawn outside of bases over time or you could run the removedrops command.

[thin fog]

mods add a little to the issue but it's an issue either way without the fix

[slim imp]

"Network" iirc

by smoothbrain

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, outside of fixing your underlying issues make sure everyone is running on a decent connection to the server.

[slim imp]

that's quite the mod and mod creater names

[thin fog]

thanks I will check it out

[vocal rivet]

Mod help will go on #mods-discussion though.

[lusty dirge]

Was the same for me in previous playthroughs, but this time I found all the skulls I could need while searching for mines

[thin fog]

it's a game issue not a server/connection issue

[vocal rivet]

It's not a game issue, no.

[thin fog]

yes, it is, I've put like a thousand hours in the game and the mod is what fixes it

[hidden gorge]

all the skulls I could need
doubtful 🤔

[vocal rivet]

Either you have too many instances or one or more players has a naff connection.

[thin fog]

same thing will happen without any mods if you build a 30 story base

[vocal rivet]

Of course!

[thin fog]

if you don't change the transfer limits in the game, you will get desync, game issue lol

[tepid prawn]

Oh the joys of RNGesus!

[vocal rivet]

Why on Earth do you think the game should support that?!

[thin fog]

do you know if it still works with the current patch? last update was like 10 months ago lol
